Chapter 381
Liam was dripping with cold sweat as he glanced at Joseph and Paige from time to time.
He guessed that Joseph had not told Paige that they were not biologically related. If he did, Paige would not behave like this right now.
Since he did not tell her yet, he had a chance.
Maybe he could negotiate with Joseph about it.
As he thought about it, he regained his hope.
"I can tell you the truth, but Joseph is the only one I can tell!"
"Why?" Paige said angrily, "I also want to know the truth!"
"I can only tell Joseph! If you agree to this, I will tell you the truth, if not, I will keep my mouth shut. The worst-case scenario is for me to go to jail. Try me!" Liam acted tough.
Joseph knew what he meant. He also did not want to reveal too much in front of Paige.
After all, this case was related to many other problems, so it would be best if Paige did not know about it.
He thought about it and agreed to Liam's request. "Bobby, accompany Miss Anderson outside and rest!"
She reluctantly left with Bobby. After that, Joseph looked at Liam indifferently and said, "Now can you talk about it?"
"You have to agree to my request before I speak!" He thought that he had the upper hand, so he started setting his own conditions.
Joseph sneered disdainfully. "Are you bargaining with me? Do you think you are qualified to do so?"
"If you don't agree with me, I'll tell Paige that I'm not her father!"
Joseph put on a cruel smile. Liam was scared, but he would not give up this hard-earned opportunity. Therefore, he put on a strong facade to threaten him.
"Are you threatening me? Liam, do you think you can do that?" Joseph smiled harder as the disdain on his face became more obvious.
"Do you think that I need something from you? Listen, I am not interested in you at all. I've always predicted all of your actions and plans. Listen, if you tell me the truth, you may still have a chance to live. If you don't tell me, do you know what the consequences will be?"
He looked down at him and said, "You should know who Paxton is, right? If you dare to put the blame on him, the people supporting him will kill you!"
Paxton's supporter was Savannah, who was also Joseph's older sister. Liam knew this very well.
He was also aware of Savannah's methods.
He asked Joseph with a pale face, "You're not on Savannah's side?"
"If I were on her side, would you still be able to stand here?"
"I... you... can help me?" He asked with difficulty. "If I tell you the truth, can you help me get out?"
"I can only help you stay alive, but I can't promise anything else! After all, how do you expect to enjoy peace and quiet after you've done such vicious things?" Joseph replied lightly.
"That won't do. How can I not get anything after I've worked so hard? I want to escape with tons of money so I can leave and never come back." He was still trying to negotiate terms.
Joseph looked at him as if he was a fool. "Do you know why I agreed to all of this? To get you to tell the truth? Why do I want to know? I have nothing to do with you. Whatever you've done has nothing to do with me. Liam, I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm doing this so you can die!"
"You... you are too vicious!"
"Humph! How dare you call me vicious?" Joseph glanced at his watch impatiently.
"There's not much time left, so you'd better be frank. By the way, Charles has already been to the police station. Why do you think he is here? You know that dead men tell no tales, right?"
Liam was dripping with sweat, and he finally gave in. "Okay, I'll tell you everything, but you must let me live!"
"No problem. I can promise to keep you alive, but all of your property must be given to Paige!"
"This…"
"Liam, that has never been your money. They are all Natalie's assets! You should return the things you stole, right? Well, it doesn't matter if you don't want to. I won't force you! Anyway, so many people want you dead. Savannah, Lamont, Archer, and the list goes on... If you die, Paige will still inherit everything, right?"
Liam trembled uncontrollably as he stared at Joseph. He had never met someone who talked so brazenly like this.
He had no reason to refuse Joseph's offer. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
After all, he would die if he didn't agree. With Joseph's offer, he would at least be alive.
His life and money were both important, but if he was not alive, then what was the money for?
If he died, the money would still go back to Paige, so agreeing with Joseph was his only option.
Liam thought that he only wanted to know how Natalie died.
Natalie was killed by Julie and Paxton, and Liam had always known about it. He knew since the first day Julie secretly poisoned the medicine. He didn't expose the truth because he knew that only Julie would be punished for doing the deed. The most he would get was an ethical reproach, but he wouldn't be arrested.
However, he hadn't expected so many things to happen. He didn't expect Julie to be so vicious and shameless, nor did he expect to have a reproductive disability.
Liam smiled bitterly. "You want to know what Natalie told me that day, right? I’ll tell you all about it!"
Joseph calmly said, "No! I don't want to know that. I already know that she wanted to have a divorce and leave you that day. What I want to know is how you tricked Natalie into marrying you."
Liam paused for a moment. "How did you know?"
He replied indifferently, "Isn't it obvious?
Natalie clearly wasn't a fool since she could manage such a big company. She probably knew about everything you did. From the very beginning, she knew that you were mean, evil, and vicious. She didn't expose you because she wasn't in love with you. She only treated you as a servant, and she wanted Paige to have a father figure!"
His words made Liam's face turn pale.
Joseph sneered and said, "I'm just curious. How did you trick her? Why did she agree to marry you even though she despised you so much? She would rather suffer than marry you. You are not the only
one behind this, right? You alone don't have the ability to do this. Who is the one who did this with you? Was it my father or Savannah?"
