Chapter 286: He Was Still Alive
Chapter 286: He Was Still Alive
The man in the darkness seemed to be very anxious.
Before Sharon could think about it, he threatened, "Hurry up! I'm running out of my patience! It's just five million.It's no big deal for you, isn't it?"
Sharon was puzzled and surprised when she heard this.
Suddenly, she laughed.
She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
She had thought that the person who had sent the blackmail letter might be the subordinate of Bridger, or even the person who had bought her, but she had never thought that it would be him...
Sure, how could she even have thought of him? She could never expect that the person who should have died, the person she had called Dad for more than 20 years, would use the photo to threaten her for money.
Sharon suddenly felt so tired.
She said indifferently, "I don't have that much money.That's all I have."
With that, she put down the box and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Josh became anxious, "You own such a big shop and it makes so much profit every day.How come you don't even have five million? Are you kidding me? Aren't you afraid”
"Whatever.I have nothing to be afraid of.The one who should be afraid is you, Josh." Sharon stared at the darkness.
"Even if you have escaped from prison, once someone finds out that you are still alive, you will be wanted throughout the nation. Where do you think you can hide?"
Josh probably did not expect Sharon to be able to recognize him and didn't speak for a long time.
Then, he fiercely said, "Don't scare me.Now that I can escape, I can avoid being captured by them! But you, my dear daughter, you are living a glorious life now.You have earned so much money by starting your own company.So what if you help your father a little bit? That's what you're supposed to do!"
Sharon said, "Well, I have one question for you.I saw what you put in the box.What exactly happened twenty years ago? Why did my mother marry you?"
After a moment of silence in the darkness, Josh suddenly laughed out loudly.
His laughter was ear-piercing, like an old organ, hoarse and shabby.
Sharon stood there quietly and indifferently.
At the time, William, who was hiding in the shadows, thought that it was a good timing and took advantage of it to capture Josh.
However, Josh had been prepared and hiding in the darkness so that no one knew his exact location.
As soon as he heard a slight movement coming from behind him, he jumped down from the second floor and ran away.
William's subordinates went to chase after him but were dispersed by the students who had just finished their classes and were on their way home.
They lost Josh.
Seeing this, William rubbed his nose and said to Sharon.
"I will send more men to find out his whereabouts as soon as possible.Don't worry."
Sharon gently shook her head, "It's fine.He will come to me again anyway.”
She had been so nervous only because she hadn't known who that man was.
But now, she knew that it was Josh, and his goal was just to get money.
Moreover, judging from the meeting place tonight, she thought that Josh was very vigilant.
He had chosen the right time when the students left school, so that it was convenient for him to escape.
Sharon picked up the suitcase on the ground and returned it to William, "Thank you.Let's go back."
William had recently learned that Josh hadn't died.
However, this was the first time he had learned that Josh was not Sharon's biological father.
He was very curious, but it was obviously not the right time.
So he didn't ask Sharon anyway.
On the way back, Sharon did not say anything.
She just leaned back in the seat and looked out of the window quietly.

He only hoped that Jameson could return soon.
Finally, the car stopped.
Sharon turned to nod slightly to William, "Thank you."
"You're welcome.If you need anything, just call me."
Sharon smiled faintly and pushed open the car door to leave.
Upon returning home, Tiffany came up to her, "Sharon, how is it? Did you catch him?"
With William there, Sharon had asked Tiffany to go back home first.
However, Tiffany had figured it out from the conversation between her and William in the afternoon.
Sharon shook her head, "No.He ran away.’’
"Run away?"
Tiffany couldn't help but frown, "Jameson's friend was so useless.He was so confident but turns out so unreliable."
"It has nothing to do with him."
Sharon sat on the sofa and said somewhat exhaustedly, "Hey, Tiffany.Josh didn't die ..."
Tiffany couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock, "What?"
Then she asked doubtfully, "Wait, why did you suddenly mention him? Was he the one who sent you the blackmail letter?"
Before Sharon could reply, Ruben's cold voice came from the door, "Is he?"
Sharon and Tiffany looked over at the same time.
Sharon was surprised, "Ruben, why ..."
Suddenly, Sharon realized something and turned to look at Tiffany.
The latter coughed and said guiltily, "Well, this is weekend and he came to see you tonight, so I told him."
Who would have thought that the person would be Josh? Da*n it! Sharon looked at Talon again and smiled at him, "It's fine.The matter has been settled, let alone ..."
"Settled?"
Before Sharon could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Ruben.
His face was frighteningly cold, and the veins on his neck were obvious, as if he was trying so hard to suppress his anger.
Sharon got up, walked to his side, and whispered, "Calm down.We all know what kind of person he is.He is only asking for money and he has nowhere to go.Even if he escaped by chance, he will be arrested very soon."
Ruben said coldly, "He is a stinky maggot in the sewer and will never show up under the sun.How can you catch him?"
Sharon suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Ruben didn't seem surprised that Josh was still alive.
Sharon said, "Ruben, did you know that Josh was still alive?"
Ruben pursed his lips and said after a few seconds, "The DNA from the cigarette butt in the cemetery was Josh's."
Sharon was surprised.But after thinking about it, she thought that it was normal.
After all, no one else would go to Josh's cemetery.
