Chapter 785

Without a moment’s hesitation, Jareth declared with a voice rasping with raw emotion,

“I won’t choose, I want them both!”

“Ha! Jareth, you’re aiming for the moon, aren’t you?” Gary’s boisterous laughter echoed through the room as he turned to Lily, who was standing defiantly on the dais. “Lily, you sure hit the jackpot sticking with your boss. Look at him, ready to take you as his mistress!”

“You bastard! You maniac! Go to hell! Shut your damn mouth!” Lily’s eyes blazed with fury as she screamed at Gary, “Come at me if you want a fight! Leave her out of this!”

“Watch your step!” Jackson struck the back of her head with the butt of his gun.

‘Tsk tsk, what a spitfire, Gary clucked his tongue, while shaking his head.

The pain was overwhelming, but it did nothing to quench the fire in Lily’s eyes. She shouted to Jareth, “Boss! Don’t worry about me, get Marilla out! You must save her!”

“I want them both!” Jareth’s eyes darkened with a fierce determination as he repeated his resolve.

“Jareth, you’ve had more than enough already. Don’t be greedy. There’s no such thing as having your cake and eating it too in this world.”

Gary’s smile was mocking, and his eyes were glinting with the cruelty of a starving wolf. “I can’t have two arms, so how can you have two women? That would be so unfair to me, wouldn’t it?”

“Just let them go, and I’ll agree to anything you want.”

Jareth refused to back down. “Money, shares, the Fairhaven Group, it’s all yours!”

“You see, this could’ve been easy if you’d just cooperated sooner. Unfortunately, it’s too late now.”

Gary’s smile vanished as he pressed a button on the remote.

Immediately, a hole opened in the bottom of the glass tank and water began to gush in!

Marilla was kneeling inside, and within seconds, the rising water had covered her shins!

Feeling his heart was pierced by a sword, Jareth roared and slammed against the glass tank, even trying to hack at it with a knife, but it was all in vain.

“Don’t bother, this tank was custom–made for her. Bulletproof glass, impenetrable, and completely sealed,” Gary taunted, reveling in Jareth’s desperation.

“Gary, I will kill you!” Jareth charged, reckless of the consequences.

Gary quickly grabbed his gun and fired three shots; the bullets exploded at Jareth’s feet!

“Sir! Don’t go over there!” Lily cried; her heart was pounding with fear.

Jareth gasped for air; as, his gaze returned to the tank, he felt his heart hammered in his chest.

The water had now risen above Marilla’s thighs.
