All Novel Sweet
Chapter 70
070 More To The Story
Sebastian’s POV
His name doesn’t ring a bell, but his daughter’s does.
The moment I realized it was the kidnapper speaking, I put the call on speaker and wrote down the name for Jim. They pulled out his whole life with lightning speed.
But I didn’t need that anymore.
Justin Roland was a talented actor, but being a nobody, he had never got any role deserving of his talent before I signed him four years ago. Struggling with tuition for college, he was going to drop out of high school to be a model. Upon hearing that, I offered him a movie under the condition that he would go through college. He did, with excellent grades.
The girl, Sparrow Ryan was a high school classmate of his. I don’t want to speak ill of the dead, so let’s just stick with the fact that Roland had a high school sweetheart who he married last year, and the Ryan girl did not like that.
She jumped off a building on Roland’s wedding day.
I normally don’t follow this detailedly into events like this happening in one of my subsidiaries, but whether it was our responsibility aside, a life ended, and a really talerited employee I appreciate was involved. So I know more about it, but that’s to say, I know that our legal team protected him in court, and I specifically told Miller to send compensation to the family though we won the case.
That was the end of my knowledge of the case.
“I have got your woman, MR. ” Liam Ryan drawls with a cruel laugh.
Woman? Singular?
“Which one?” I ask.
“That’s the million–dollar question!” He laughs.
“I know you got both of them, Liam Ryan,” I realize he is playing with me, “I’m the one who you hate, so don’t touch them. Anything you want, I can give you.”
“You’d wish you can solve this one with money, asshole!” He snorts coldly, “You protected the monster who killed my sparrow, and that is why tonight, you will lose yours!”

“Your daughter’s death is a tragedy, and I’m sorry,” I try to keep him stable, and Jim takes the chance to track our phone call, “but she committed suicide, and that shouldn’t be why another life should be taken.”
“Words kill! She was killed by their cruelty, and even after she died, they still smeared her into a trashy stalker! You would know that none of what they said was true if you cared at all, you heartless asshole!”
The room was quiet, but his shout cast a deader silence still.
I don’t think I did anything wrong, but my ears burn at his words. What more truth could there be when Justin knew who he was marrying, and made that choice all by himself? For whatever reason, a woman should not force a man into marriage if he doesn’t want to, let alone blame her suicide on him for not budging.
Except Scar.
She didn’t force me. I wanted her bone marrow and I tricked her with an empty marriage. I see that now, but now is too late.
Jim raises a paper at me: [Stall]
“I’m sorry I didn’t look into your case further, but you got my attention now,” I maintain a calm tone, talking into the phone, “You can tell me your side of the story, and if they are true, I will make it heard.”
“Where were you a year ago?! You just wouldn’t fucking listen, and you sent your legal dogs after us until you have to! How does it feel now, to have a crazy dog’s teeth on your fucking neck?!”
a crazy do
He sounds like alright. “I’m sorry, and I regret what I did. If there is more to the story of your daughter, I’d love to hear about it.”
“Why are you suddenly so…I know what you are doing, you mother–fucker!” He suddenly raises his voice, “You are stalling!”

“Tell the police to stop tracing my location!” Liam Ryan roars into his phone like a maniac, “You think I was hiding from you?! I fucking want you to come! The whole point is that you get to watch her die, in front of you, like I did with my special sparrow! I’m going to tell you where I am…though actually, you should know!” “…?” I frown before I gasp in surprise, “the building your daughter jumped off?”
