Oh, Vicki, are you in a rush to go see Mr. Schultz? Deniz suddenly asked.
Vicki immediately rolled the window back down, wide-eyed. What did you say? she asked, staring at him.
I just saw Mr. Schultz. He was driving off, he replied.
Deniz looked at the time on his watch and said, Mr. Schultz left less than twenty minutes ago. If you ask the driver to hurry, you might catch up with him.
But Vicki was skeptical. If it was true that Jarrod had just left, why would Alec say Jarrod had gone on a business trip? Why did they manage to hide the cause of Jarrods sudden leave from her?
Mr. Miller, can you just explain everything clearly once and for all? I really dont understand what is going on. Vickis strategy was now starting to fall apart. Unlike Lowe, she couldnt maintain her composure. A trace of panic was written all over her face.
Miss Hampton, you know I was thrown to a place far away since I somehow offended Mr. Schultz. I cant even come near Ardlens until now. But I really want to return to Ardlens. Deniz opted not to answer Vickis questions.
The more desperate Vicki appeared, the calmer Deniz became. He was skillfully manipulating the situation.
Mr. Miller, if you want to say something, just say it. Tell me directly what you want. Dont beat around the bush, Vicki said straightforwardly.
Miss Hampton, cant you still tell? Deniz asked back. I desperately want to return to Ardlens, and I need your help.
Is that all? No problem, Vicki quickly agreed. Ill discuss it with my father. By then, Jarrod wont be able to stop you from returning to Ardlens.
Deniz smiled. After I return, can I still manage my previous projects?
Vickis expression changed. Deniz was incredibly greedy. He didnt only want to return but also reclaim his previous business ventures.

His greed reminded her of a parasite.
Vicki wasnt in a position to make decisions and the thought of convincing her father to support a man like Deniz made her feel repulsive.
Deniz was not in a hurry. He said casually, Miss Hampton, you know Im on your side. After all, we are relatives and I cant stand to see you mistreated. Your fianc is on his way to meet another woman.
The news hit Vicki like a thunderbolt. Her face turned pale. How could Jarrod be rushing away to meet another woman? What kind of a woman was worth him leaving her in the middle of the night?
Deniz grinned. I guess you already know who she is.

Of course, Vicki knew. After all, Nicoles past relationship with Jarrod was a constant thorn in her side. However, since Jarrod was engaged to her, he hadnt seen any other women.
Vicki had initially been worried and suspicious. But she didnt find any signs of infidelity. Jarrods movements were transparent. And if she asked, Alec would surely tell her everything.
Jarrod once promised to let her know all his whereabouts. It was a privilege he ensured her as his fiance.
Because of this, Vicki had always been proud, believing she had made the right choice.
But now, she was no longer sure. Her mind was a mess. But when she spoke, she still tried to sound confident. Maybe Jarrod has other matters to attend to. Since we got engaged, Ive always been aware of all his movements and whereabouts. And there have been no other women around him all these months. I trust him. He will never cheat on me.
Interesting! Suddenly, Deniz burst into laughter. Miss Hampton, you are so naive. There are no men in this world who dont cheat. The way Mr. Schultz treated that woman in the video didnt look Like someone who abstained.
