Chapter 1490

"It seems you're not that formidable after all."

Jim suddenly returned to the calm and collected man he usually was.

Julian still hadn't figured out his intentions, indicating that the initiative was still in Jim's hands.

Jim smiled casually, giving Julian an indifferent look. "Feel free to burn this house and eliminate anyone you dislike in

this family. However, you won't take Diana away from me."

Julian was furious. With a wave of his hand, he instructed the helicopter to lower Jim's mother a bit more.

The woman, accustomed to working in the laboratory year-round and rarely leaving even for a moment, was now

suspended in midair.

The sight seemed to terrify her soul; her screams were even louder than the thunderous noise of the helicopter. A

fleeting emotion crossed Jim's face, but it quickly disappeared.

Julian observed every nuance of his expression, and he knew that the stakes weren't enough. He made a gesture,

and soon, Jim's mother was dropped a bit more.

Now, her height was level with the roof.

"You should ask your mother yourself," Julian looked at Jim, gesturing for him to approach. "Ask her if she's willing to

make the so-called sacrifice."

Everyone knew that sacrifices were inevitable, but no one wished to be the one sacrificed. Jim's mother was no

exception. She was now in disarray, flying around without any composure. Even her usual elegance and calmness

were nowhere to be found.

"Jim! Jimmy! Save me! I have many experiments yet to complete. I want to shock the world with you. I can't die yet!

I can't die!"

Jim was momentarily stunned, his eyes showing confusion.

"Mom..." he said, as he looked at his mother. "Why are you saying this?"

She had taught him from a young age that at crucial moments, one must learn to sacrifice their own life to protect

their research.

Moreover, Diana was involved in such crucial research for them. If he made a deal with Julian to free his mother, he

would have to surrender Diana as well.

At that time, it would truly be a wasted effort!

Jim refused.

"I think what you're saying is incorrect," he said. His voice was the same measured pace-polite, but every word was

filled with coldness and cruelty. "Even if you die, the research can continue. I’ll definitely take up your mantle."

A trace of despair crossed Jim's mother's face.

'No! I don't want to die!" Suddenly, she shouted to Julian, "I'll tell you! I know where Diana is hidden!"

Julian's expression changed, and he immediately rose from his chair and rushed to the area beneath the helicopter.

Mrs. Hughes's hands and feet were bound with ropes, but Julian wasn’t concerned about any tricks she might play.

If she didn't cooperate and tried to deceive him, he would make her suffer even more!

When Noel returned to Richburgh, three hours had already passed. It was the fastest speed he could manage.

Along the way, he hadn't taken a sip of water and dared not stop for a minute, forgetting even to use the restroom.

Not until he reached the front of Larry's house did he feel the urge to go.

Conveniently, it gave him a reason.

He knocked on Larry's door.

Larry was in the room arranging things. The visit from those people earlier today was suspicious.

Although he asked Cecilia and she claimed not to know them, he was still uneasy. He decided to quickly finish

setting up the room and then dispose of Cecilia faster.

If you choose not to use the suitcase or the vase, then I'll make the decision myself." Larry glanced at her. "You're

very pretty. I should keep your whole body."

After saying this, Cecilia fainted in fear. It took a long time for her to wake up.

Her eyelids felt very heavy. She had many wounds on her body, all from Larry dealing with her when she attempted

to escape, and the situation only worsened.

At this point, she had given up on thoughts of survival. She knelt on the ground, her eyes brimming with tears.

Scenes of her life over the years flashed through her mind. Her heart hurt so much, to the point of suffocation.

How had the young miss of the Jarvis family fallen to such a state?
