“What happened to Mr. Schultz? I heard noises last night. It seemed he was rushed to the hospital.”
“I saw it with my own eyes. Alec found him unconscious in the bathtub. He must have been submerged in the water for a long time because when Alec pulled him out, he was so pale. He looked lifeless.
It was terrifying. Alec performed CPR for half an hour before Mr. Schultz showed signs of consciousness. But he feared Mr. Schultz’s brain would be damaged from lack of oxygen, so he rushed Mr. Schultz to the hospital.”
Nicole was utterly shocked. So, that was it. Jarrod hadn’t been able to get out of the bathtub last night. That explained the silence when she left last night. He must have passed out after her attack.
At this moment, one of the maids said, “You know what? That Miss Lawrence Mr. Schultz brought home seems a jinx. Ever since she arrived, his condition worsened. He only slightly improved for a few days and then got severe again. Now, he even drowned in the bathtub.
Isn’t it too strange?”
“Yeah. Poor Mr. Schultz. If Alec hadn’t found him, he must have been dead by now.”
“Indeed, such bad Luck.”
After this, Nicole didn’t hear their voices anymore. They must have returned to their work.
Nicole remained frozen, pondering. Jarrod almost died last night. She should be happy, right? But why couldn’t she feel any sense of joy in her heart? Instead, the thought of his close encounter with death sent shivers down her spine. This wasn’t right. She shouldn’t feel this way.
Nicole convinced herself not to feel anything. She wanted nothing but for Jarrod to die miserably. But an accidental death wasn’t what she wished for him. After all, a man like Jarrod never feared death.
What Nicole wanted was for Jarrod to suffer in prison for the rest of his life until he realized his mistakes and repented his sins.
For an arrogant person like him, such a life was far worse than death.
Nicole was still in a daze. Before she knew it, she was already outside Jarrod’s room. No one was around his room. It was most likely that his bodyguards followed him to the hospital. After all, he had many enemies.
Nicole subconsciously reached out and held the doorknob. And she was surprised when she was able to twist it. His room wasn’t locked.
Actually, she was not allowed to enter Jarrod’s room, except when she n

eeded to take care of him.
At first, Nicole wondered why Jarrod chose to stay in this place.
But after staying here for several days, she finally understood.
Jarrod stayed in here more often because of its security. The security in this place was exceptionally tight, making it difficult for outsiders to enter. There must be some important and confidential documents here.
Suddenly, Nicole remembered something peculiar about the headboard of Jarrod’s bed. It was like there was a hidden door.
At the thought of this, she walked in and gently closed the door behind her. Then, she fumbled with the headboard while trying to recall what she had observed.
Eventually, she found a hidden button. It Looked like a switch. She pressed it, and the entire bed moved sideways, revealing a spacious secret room.
Then, a golden cabinet glowed in the dark. Nicole’s eyes lit up when she saw it.
She approached and stood in front of the cabinet. However, she found it was locked. And it wasn’t just any ordinary lock. It was a retina scanner door lock. In short, no one could open it except Jarrod.
