Chapter 200 No Way Out

After considering Calista's character, Jarrett thought that if the reasons were compelling enough, she might actually go through with it. Unfortunately, he knew all too well that Calista's main objectives was to take Sterling's life on top of the money. "That's our business. You don't need to concern yourself with it, Mr. Wolford," Jarrett said with a devious smile. "Perhaps, Mr. Wolford, you should focus on your current predicament. After all, your life is in my hands."

Sterling's thoughts raced. Suppressing all his resentment and bitterness, he managed to maintain his composure and said, "What has Calista promised you? Take over all my assets? But what is mine won't automatically become yours even if I die. Keeping me around and controlling me would be more beneficial for you!"

Jarrett remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Sterling's face was anxious as he continued, "If you're willing to let me go, I won't take anything from this cave. I'll even ensure you're adequately compensated!"

He licked his lips, a fierce determination flashing in his eyes. "Moreover, I can help you get whatever's inside that cave. Rather than letting Calista or the Fairchild family reap the benefits, I'd prefer you to have it. Think about it, isn't this more profitable than killing me?" "Your suggestion is truly enticing."

Jarrett shook his head with a snigger. If he was collaborating with anyone else but Calista, Kallum for example, he might have agreed.

"Regrettably, I can't agree to your proposal."

Sterling's expression darkened.

With a sigh in his heart, Jarrett spoke in a low voice. "Hasn't anyone told you about my relationship with Calista?"

With some difficulty, Sterling said, "She saved your younger brother."

"It's more than that. My brother has already recovered, and burning bridges is a common occurrence for me, so this little favor doesn't really count for much."

"Then why on earth..." The vein on Sterling's forehead throbbed as he was unable to comprehend how Jarrett could possibly resist such a huge temptation.
