This meant that he was not going to let those people off the hook.
Jamie ground her teeth in frustration. She realized Jarrod’s decision would
obliterate any prestige she had in her family. After all, she was the one who
instigated those people to harm Nicole.
In desperation, she feigned grievance and reasoned, “What happened yesterday
was my fault. I shouldn't have let Nicole get under my skin and should've stopped
everyone right away.”
“What did she say to you?” Jarrod curiously asked.
Jamie was hesitant at first but then continued, “Promise me you won't get angry
when I tell you.”
“You have my word.”
“Nicole said she only sleeps with you for the sake of the Lawrence family. In truth,
she’s repulsed by you, especially by the scars on your back, She said they look
like centipedes and give her nightmares.”
As she spoke, she noticed Jarrod’s expression turn increasingly icy.
Jamie seized the opportunity and feigned indignation.
“It infuriated me. I don’t care if you're involved with other women, but I can’t bear
anyone talking about you like that.”
All the while, Jarrod’s fists clenched tighter, and his veins stood out on his skin.
He remembered Nicole's lack of enthusiasm whenever they had sex.
Jamie's revelation seemed to align with Nicole's arrogant and snobbish
personality.
It turned out Nicole despised him to this extent, and could not wait to distance
herself from him.
However, she was not much more noble than him. If it weren't for the betrayal of
the Lawrence family, the Schultz family wouldn't have suffered that heavy blow
and completely backed out of the market of Ardlens.

“Don't take it to heart, Jarrod. In my eyes, you're the best man out there.” Jamie
leaned into Jarrod’s arms and rubbed her head against him while her eyes
flashed a hidden, malicious glint.
Jealousy had clawed at her when she opened that hotel door and saw Nicole
who just had sex with Jarrod.
That fucking bitch!
If she could not lay a finger on Nicole, she would craft a scheme and make sure
Jarrod himself took Nicole down!
Jarrod masked his emotions and stood up.
“I'll have the driver take you home.”
Upon hearing this, Jamie frowned and tugged at the hem of his shirt.
“Aren't you leaving with me?”
Jarrod planted a soft kiss on her forehead.
“I've got other matters to attend to. I'll see you tonight.”
