Chapter 685 Jasmine Forces Mark to Make a Decision

"It seems that between your son and your lover, you've chosen your son," Jasmine said, looking at Mark.

The handle he had was only enough to save one person.

With Daniel's abilities, even if he were saved, what could he do?

"You want your son to fight for control of the Douglas Group. By then, it will still be in time to save Claire, right?" Jasmine smiled. "Your plan is quite good."

"Owen is coming on strong now. He will take this opportunity to destroy the Douglas family. You have no choice but to cooperate with me," Mark said nervously. "I can assure you, all I want is to get my son out."

He spoke as if he were a father making up for his child.

But if he truly loved his child, he wouldn't have used them as tools, placing them by Howard's side.

"Besides, he's my son, not Howard's. He doesn't pose much of a threat to you," Mark said urgently. "I just feel I owe him. Once he's out, I'll follow his wishes. If he doesn't want to stay, we'll leave here."

Jasmine squinted at Mark. Could he be trusted?

He had no credibility at all.

But he was right about one thing: Daniel wasn't Howard's son, not a bloodline of the Douglas family, which significantly reduced the threat.

Compared to Daniel, Bradley was a much bigger threat.

"I heard Claire has gone a bit mad in jail. Are you sure you don't want to save your wife first? I've heard she's begged you many times," Jasmine said with a faint smile, looking at Mark.

That smile was somewhat cruel.

What Claire was experiencing now was only a tenth of the pain she had caused in the past.

But even just a tenth, Claire couldn't bear it.

Mark clenched his hands tightly. How could he not know that a woman like Claire, accustomed to luxury, couldn't adapt to prison life?
