Chapter 514: Chapter 509: The Value of Scarlett Jackson_1
Molly Walker finally halted, slightly turning her head, looking at him leisurely.
“A trade?”
How strange, Jerry Jenkins actually wanted to make a deal with her.
As he looked at Molly, Jerry was taken aback.
She had taken special care with her appearance today and looked particularly striking.
He had always found her attractive, but he had grown indifferent to beauty after seeing so many beautiful women.
But Molly’s presence today made him unusually uneasy, with waves of cold spreading from the pit of his stomach.
He thought Molly would meet with Scarlett yesterday evening, but she postponed it until the next day.
He didn’t sleep at all that night, and he was sure that Scarlett didn’t either.
It wasn’t until early this morning that Molly showed up, intricately dressed.
It was like she was deliberately keeping him and Scarlett on tenterhooks.
This woman, despite her young age, gave him a strong sense of pressure.
He had previously thought her management of “W” was exaggerated, but now it seemed like she fully qualified.
Yesterday, her people’s defense was strong, and no matter what method he used he could not get to Scarlett.
And Scarlett was also patient, she hadn’t left at all.
He was sure, as soon as Scarlett saw Molly she would immediately tell her the secret.
This secret could not be known by Michael Gallagher, or else the entire Jenkins family would be ruined.
“Jerry Jenkins, what chips do you have to trade with me?” Molly sneered, “You’re worthless to me.”
“But I know, you care about Zoey Lambert.” Jerry laughed indifferently, “You can’t protect her forever. I like her, and as long as I don’t give up, I will eventually have her.”
“I am a rogue, I am obsessive, and I am determined to have her.”
Molly’s eyes darkened, a trace of fierce hostility flashing in them: “What do you want?”
Seeing her like this, Jerry confidently said, “Don’t worry, if I say we’re making a trade, it means everything can be easily discussed.”
“You and Scarlett have always been at odds. Why don’t you hand her over to me, and I assure you I’ll revenge on your behalf and make her suffer.” Jerry laughed sinisterly and appeared somewhat evil.
“As long as you hand her over to me, I will give up on Zoey Lambert.”
“What do you think? Isn’t this trade very beneficial?”
…
Scarlett had been waiting in the room all night.
She didn’t understand why, even though the bodyguards had explained the situation to Molly and Molly had said she would come over, she waited all night and Molly never showed up.
Just when she thought she had been played by Molly, the bodyguards suddenly started to withdraw.
“The Big Boss is coming.”
Hearing this, a surge of energy rushed into Scarlett’s exhausted body.
Jerry was right across the door, and if she went out alone she would definitely be captured by him.
She struggled to her feet and went to the table to pick up the cutting-edge surveillance tablet that the bodyguards had left behind.
Indeed, “W” was formidable, being able to access the hotel corridor surveillance just like that.
She stared at the tablet, and soon she saw Molly.
Finding Molly all dressed up and comparing it with her own appearance, Scarlett felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
Jealous, of course, she was jealous, but now fear and anticipation consumed everything by now, and she did not even have time to think about anything else.
All she wanted now was to see Molly as soon as possible, tell her the secret she had heard, and seek the protection of Molly’s organization.
But to her surprise, Molly actually stopped at Jerry’s door.
A chill swept over her.
“You and Scarlett have always been at odds, why don’t you hand her over to me, and I assure you I’ll revenge on your behalf and make her suffer.”
“As long as you hand her over to me, I will give up on Zoey Lambert, and give you fifteen million.”
“What do you think? Isn’t this trade very beneficial?”
Scarlett felt a pang of panic, and her heart began to race.
Molly and Jerry didn’t have a good relationship, but her relationship with Molly wasn’t good either.
She knew that Molly always cared about the Leaford family, especially Zoey Lambert. For Zoey, Molly had let dozens of men bully her.
Fight fire with fire, give a taste of one’s own medicine, this was how Molly retaliated against her.
Jerry unexpectedly used Zoey as his bargaining chip.
He wanted her dead!
In Molly’s eyes, how could she compare with Zoey Lambert, let alone the additional fifteen million.
Fifteen million…
She was really valuable…
Scarlett closed her eyes, trembling with fear. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Jerry was so obsessed with this secret.
Fifteen million, he clearly had no intention of leaving any loose ends.
Scarlett knew that she was finished this time.
Molly was certainly not going to save her, and there was no reason for her to do so.
Zoey plus fifteen million, even Molly would have to be insane to choose to help her.
Even a fool would know which was the more profitable choice at this time.
As Molly listened to the chips Jerry put down, her heart was filled with astonishment, but her face remained calm.
Given Jerry’s personality, Scarlett wasn’t worth fifteen million, let alone with Zoey added.
What on earth did Scarlett hear that made Jerry desperate enough to offer such a high price to get her away?
“How about it? Are these terms enough to exchange for Scarlett?”
Upon hearing this, Scarlett couldn’t help herself anymore and went to the door and opened it.
At this moment, Molly’s lips twitched slightly as she smiled with self-assured arrogance.
“Indeed, it’s very tempting, but not enough to move me.”
“I didn’t expect that Scarlett would be so valuable to you. Now I really want to see what makes her so worthwhile.”
Jerry’s face paled, his expression darkening gradually.
“Jerry Jenkins, I indeed dislike Scarlett, but I’d rather see you beaten. I can’t stop you from pursuing my cousin, but I dare you to try and lay a finger on her. If you dare to harm a single hair on her head, I dare to ruin you.”
Jerry’s face fell, he fixed his gaze on her without moving.
She was barely in her twenties, yet her words were so vicious.
However, Jerry knew that while she would not be able to carry it out, “W” could.
Even if her hands were clean, there were people in “W” who were willing to break their necks to please her and carry out her orders.
Scarlett was ready to be handed over, and also ready to break out, but she didn’t expect that Molly didn’t do anything and chose her.
Just as she was puzzled and bewildered, the door opened.
Molly walked in.
Molly glanced at her, then scanned the room: “Such a good room, Scarlett, you better have some useful information for me. Otherwise, I can hand you over to Jerry right now.”
She wasn’t really trying to help Scarlett, nor did she want to protect this woman.
She just wanted to know what kind of information Scarlett had that Jerry would offer such a huge price in exchange for it.
Seeing that Molly chose her, Scarlett’s eyes were filled with complexity.
If it were her, she would have given herself up long ago.
She didn’t expect Molly to withstand such temptation.
“Sit down and talk.” She licked her lips nervously and sat down on the small sofa. “This secret is about Michael Gallagher, Molly. You can still back out now.”
Zoey plus fifteen million in exchange for her, she was even tempted herself.
“Cut the long story short, I’m running out of time.” Molly rubbed her forehead, not in the mood to waffle about with her. “I’m very busy.”
