Chapter 551
"Yes,’ John admitted, "To me, Cordy is the most important."
"What gives her the right to be so loved by you, yet I'm nothing to you?! I've been by your side for so
many years, and I'm willing to forsake even my dignity for you. Why can't I compare to Cordy? Why am
I inferior to her?!’ Jessica yelled hysterically.
She did not understand it at all.
She did not understand why she lost.
"There need not be a reason for love. In fact, if I could state the reason why I love, that might not be
love at all." Compared to Jessica’s agitation, John was terrifyingly calm. "I'll just tell you one thing: I
want no one else but Cordy in my entire life!"
"You want no one else but Cordy..." Jessica broke out into laughter.
Unbridled, wild laughter tinged with hopelessness.

"Loving someone doesn't mean possessing someone. Jessica, I can only say that your love is too
selfish," John said coldly.
"Selfish? Yes, I am selfish! Since I was young, I must have whatever I like! You're no exception either!"
"So, let Dicky go and I'll die with you!" John cut to the chase.
"Hah." Jessica chuckled. "Do you think I'll be fooled so easily? Do you really think I trust you enough to
let you save Dicky right under my nose with a few casual words?"
John clenched his fists and glared at Jessica with his cold, dark eyes.
Jessica stood unfazed. "John, I've been by your side for so many years. I know clearly what you care
and don’t care about. Don't think that you can fool me just like this. That's impossible!"
John clenched his fists tighter. "In that case, make your decision according to your presumptions!"
With that, John turned to leave.
He stopped in his tracks after taking two steps and said, "The moment I leave this place, it means that
I've given up on Dicky. I don't care what choice you ultimately make, but I will choose to call the police."
"John Levine!" Jessica could not believe that John would be so coldblooded as to not bother about his
own son's life and death.
"If you dare to leave, Dicky will die right in front of you."
"The outcome will be the same whether I leave or not," John said calmly without any sign of emotion.
"Just get it over with and don't prolong the agony. Dicky will just have to blame it on his wretched fate.’
"John Levine, are you seriously that cruel?!" Jessica was in utter disbelief.
She was on the brink of collapse at seeing John's determined steps as he walked away.
"Dicky is your biological son!"
"I can have many more biological sons with Cordy," John said as he walked off. ’I'll eventually forget
Dicky one day."
"John Levine!" Jessica screamed.
She did not believe that John could remain unthreatened by her.

She snatched the gun from the bodyguard's hands and aimed a shot at the sky.
John paused for a moment.
Jessica stared at his back, desperation written all over her face.
Yet, John did not so much as turn back to look.
He simply paused for a second before walking forward again.
"Fine!" Jessica finally gave in when she saw that John was leaving for real.
She said, "Come back, I'll let Dicky go."
John stopped in his tracks, as if hesitant on what he should do.
"John, your son is only 7 years old. Can you really bear to see him die in my hands?" Jessica asked.
She saw the hesitation in his posture and finally believed him.
She finally believed that if John wanted to, he could really give Richard up.
For no reason whatsoever other than the fact that she similarly did not see family was important to her.
Her parents, her grandfather, her brother...
They were nothing to her.
Nothing but strangers living under one roof.
