Chapter 396: 396. If I want you to die, would you go?_1

"What exactly must be done for you to let Sophie go?"

"Why should I let her go?"

Adam Jones scoffed coldly, raising an eyebrow and countering the question, his dark pupils emanating an intimidating aura that struck fear into James Campbell’s heart.

"President Jones, no matter what, Sophie saved you back then. She almost lost her life trying to save you; you can’t... you can’t be so ungrateful."

Melody Baker spoke up, trembling, even as she was deterred by the frightening aura emanating from Adam Jones; she just couldn’t ignore the plight of her daughter.

She knew that Adam Jones was not someone who liked to be in others’ debt, especially when it came to lifesaving favors. Using this as leverage against Adam Jones seemed the perfect strategy.

Yet, as she had barely finished her words, she was met with a derisive snort from Adam Jones.

"How much have you and your daughter gained from the Jones Family? Do you need me to list everything for you one by one?"

His eyes narrowed, emitting a dangerous, threatening vibe, "I may not like being in debt to others, but I dislike even more those who try to exploit their favors for gain. You use this to settle accounts with me, huh! Sure."

Upon hearing Adam Jones say "sure," James Campbell and Melody Baker’s eyes lit up, sensing a turn of events.

But the very next second, Adam Jones’s words brutally dashed their hopes.

"I don’t like being in others’ debt, but I also don’t appreciate being taken advantage of. If you want me to let Sophie Baker go, then pay back everything you’ve gained from the Jones Family over the years, one by one, and this time... consider it me repaying her past favor."

Of course, should he find any loopholes in this life-saving grace, he would definitely make sure the mother and daughter paid back double.

Melody Baker was so frightened by Adam Jones’s words that she dared not make a sound.

Over the years, she and her daughter had received at least tens of billions from the Jones Corporation, not to mention their outside investments which had also profited greatly by using the Jones name. Otherwise, how could they have lived such a lavish lifestyle these years.

And where would they get the money to buy Elly Campbell’s shares.

To ask her now to repay everything she had gained from the Jones Family, where could she possibly find so much money!

Moreover, if she were to give it all back, they would truly be left with nothing.

Seeing that Melody Baker dared not reply, Adam Jones’s lips curved into a smirk as he said to James Campbell, "Instead of wasting time here, you’d better think about hiring a decent lawyer. Maybe she can serve less time in prison."

After speaking, he lowered his gaze to Elly Campbell, his voice noticeably softer, "Let’s go."

"Elly Campbell!"

Just as the two were about to leave, Sophie Baker called out to her, unable to let go.

"It was you! You framed Sophie, didn’t you? What exactly do you want? Haven’t we mother and daughter suffered enough? Why are you still not satisfied? Your mother couldn’t keep James’s heart by herself; why should I take the blame for that?"

Sophie Baker glared at Elly Campbell viciously. Remembering how she had been humiliated by Elly to the point where she could not even raise her head, her hatred raged to the extent that she wished she could drink Elly’s blood, eat her flesh.

"What do I want to do?"

Hearing Sophie Baker insult her mother, the indifference on Elly Campbell’s face immediately gave way to a chill, her sharp gaze sweeping over Sophie Baker.

"If I wanted you to die, would you do it?"

Sophie Baker was so intimidated by Elly Campbell’s stern demeanor that she went pale and instinctively hid behind James Campbell.

Then, Elly turned to look at Adam Jones and asked, "Do you really want Sophie Baker to go to prison?"
