色戒 电影完整版

"I will help you free from your father and the shadow of your brother," he added afterward.

"Is that so? Enlightened me then," John uttered in a sarcastic tone. 'Is this how they manipulated Liam?'

It came to his mind that what made Liam change has something to do with the Organization that he thinks of as his family. It was strange to go from being an honorable mafia to a bad one.

"I can give you everything. You will get back the J Group and all that owned by the Jackson family, including this hotel, yes, and your penthouse."

"Why are you offering me this?"

"As I've mentioned earlier, I could feel your pain being betrayed by your very own father."

"Do you think that is enough to convince me?"

"No." Samuel placed a folder on the table. He pushed it toward John. "Have a look."

"What is this?"

"Why don't you see it for yourself?" Samuel encouraged him.

John picked up the folder and flipped the documents inside. The more he read the contents, the darker his face became.

The folder was Gideon Jackson, Last Will, stating that he left the yacht, the chopper, and a large amount to his son Jay.

'Even the money he would not split it for me?' John sneered in his heart after learning the truth.

"Well, everything will be yours if you will accept my proposal."

"What is it?"

Samuel pulled the corner of his mouth to see John in a daze of his anger. He could see how the side of the folder crumpled when John gripped it tight.

"It is too simple. Be my eyes and ears to Vincent."

"What? How would I do that?"

"Come on. I know that you and Vincent are on good terms now."

John replied, "You are wrong. Vincent does not trust me completely."

"Isn't that what you should do? To gain his trust?"

"What is your plan, Director Miller?" asked John, with intrigue.

"You will get everything you want in this life with just a snap of my finger if you meet my condition."

"To be a spy to the Davies?" John guessed.

Samuel curled his thin lips. "And to kill Vincent Shen."

"Why are you so interested in Vincent Shen? Is this still about Liam's will? Or this is just yours?"

"You don't need to ask many questions." A sharp glare flashed in his eyes, but it only lasted for a few seconds as Samuel quickly concealed them. He smiled and continued. This time, his tone was soft. "That's the first rule. You will get everything you wanted even the woman you love. But of course, it comes to a price."

John saw the cunning smile playing on Samuel's lips. He asked suspiciously, "How can I be sure you are not tricking me?"

Samuel chuckled and shook his head. He told John,

"Do you think I am after money? I have a lot of those. But I hate to see someone treated unfairly by their own blood."

"Are you saying that I can trust you and become my good brother more than I have been with my twin brother?" John sneered mockingly at Samuel.

"You don't need someone blood-related to be your brother or family. If you join me, we will be your new and real family." Samuel emphasized his last two worlds before he went to convince John furthermore.

"If we succeed in killing Vincent Shen and bring down Davies Corporation. You got the privilege of meeting my master, the same man who opened Liam's mind into reality."

"Is he going to open my mind as well?" Raising an eyebrow, John has become intrigued to know more information about this 'master' Samuel has mentioned.

"Only if you agreed..." Samuel gave John a sincere gaze. His face looks too innocent that no one would believe he is responsible for many murders not only in wealthy families but also in people that have nothing to do with him.

While John fell into deep thoughts, Samuel took this opportunity to lay his proposal.

"If you agree now, I can sign these documents. Soon, everything is yours. I can give back twenty percent shares, and you will get the rest once your job is complete."

When there is no reply from John, he stays staring at Samuel. The latter carries on encouraging him.

"You don't need to answer me real quick. You can think about it all night."

"No."

"Hmm?"

"I don't need to wait for another day. I want to show dad I don't need him or his f**king family." There is firmness in John's words, revealing the anger and hatred he had felt for his dad and twin brother.

"Then..." Samuel got up from the couch and stood on his feet, stretching his hand for a handshake. "Congratulations, CEO John Jackson."

John stood on his feet and accepted Samuel's hand. They sealed their agreement with a handshake.

"You made the right choice." Samuel Miller's smile broadened as he shook John's hand.

Meanwhile, at Davies Mansion. Hilda is already preparing for bed when light knocks sound on the door.

Hilda quickly opened the door with thoughts that something had happened with Hailee, and a nanny came to inform her. But to her surprise, it was Hailee standing in front of the door and the nannies standing two meters behind her.

"What's wrong?"She asked. "Why are you here? You should have called me if you needed something from me."

The worries on Hilda's face couldn't paint. Hailee smiled warmly to see the sincerity in her mom-in-law's eyes.

"I'm fine, mom. It's just that I couldn't sleep," said Hailee. Hilda guided her inside the bedroom and helped her sit down on the couch on the footbed.

"Do you want me to heat a glass of milk? Perhaps cook you a porridge with chicken meat?"

"Milk is fine, mom."

"Alright. I'll be right back." Hilda gets out of the bedroom with hurried steps. Hailee smiled after she heard her mom-in-law instructing the nannies to listen and might as she would call for them.

Since she was in a crucial condition, her mom-in-law moved to the bedroom close to her and Vincent; so that she could attend to her right away, especially when Vincent was not home.

When Hilda came back, a tray in her hand with a glass of warm milk, a distilled bottle of water, then there were also cookies and fruits.

"Thanks, mom." Hailee did not forget to thank her mom-in-law before she excitedly dipped the cookies in the milk.

"You can tell me if you need anything else," said Hilda. She watched Hailee enjoying having her snacks.

When Hailee was halfway to finish her milk, she stopped and looked at her mom-in-law. Hilda, who never left her eyes on Hailee. She noticed the hesitancy of bringing up something.

"Is there something bothering you?" She has to initiate; otherwise, Hailee would not share what troubled her.

Hailee pondered for a moment, then smiled shyly after making up her mind.

"Mom, can I sleep next to you?"

"Oh..." It didn't conceal in Hilda's face how surprised she was. It never crossed her mind that one day, Hailee would ask for such a request. "Are you uncomfortable sleeping alone?"

Hailee nodded. Actually, she could not tell her mom-in-law that these passing nights, she has been having nightmares.

Vincent is frequently on trips now that he is officially the CEO of Davies Group. The threats of the assassination were still up. She could not stop herself from worrying too much.

"Alright. Let me go to bed." After saying this, Hilda brought more pillows and piled them on the headboard and in the middle of the bed where Hailee could hug them. She was only lying on her sides most of the time.

The next morning, the moment she woke up, Hailee pursed her lips into a smile. Gladly, her decision to sleep with her mom-in-law was right. Last night, she didn't have a nightmare, but a pleasant sleep.

"Good morning, gorgeous."

Hailee quickly opened her eyes after someone spoke in a hoarse, sweet voice. She rubbed her eyes and squinted at them; maybe, she was only dreaming.

"You can kiss me to check if you are only dreaming."

Hailee's eyes widened, and her smile broadened after her husband's warm breath fanning her face.

"You're home!" She threw her arms around Vincent's neck and kissed him longingly.

Hailee sighs with relief that her husband came home in one piece.. Hence,? she knew, their fight isn't over yet.
