Vicki felt a lump in her throat. But finally, she found her voice, although it was trembling. Jarrod, I dont want to know anymore. Please dont go. Just go home and have dinner with me, okay?
However, Jarrod refused firmly. No, Im not going back.
Jarrod, I wont ask where you are going. But can you leave me some dignity? Just this once, listen to me. Then, after that Vicki struggled to finish her words. But finally, she said slowly, After that, you can go wherever you want. I wont ask anything.
She wanted to buy time to figure out a way to deal with Nicole.
Right then, the flight attendant came over and urged, Mr. Schultz, its time to board the plane.
Jarrod raised his arm and checked the time on his watch. He nodded and said, Give me five more minutes.
The flight attendant nodded and stepped out of the lounge.
Jarrod walked up to Vicki and reached out to steady her trembling body. Then, he said calmly, Do you remember what I told you the night you came to see me?
Vickis face turned pale. Of course, she clearly remembered it.

When Jarrods scandal first broke out, Vicki confronted him immediately to verify if it was true.
Jarrod didnt deny it. Although he didnt say a word, he nodded to confirm it was him.
Tears streamed down Vickies face. She asked, Jarrod, Nicole has ruined you. She only wants to destroy you and the Schultz Group.
Jarrod nodded. I know.
Vicki was shocked. You know? And you still let her?
Jarrod looked at Vicki with tiredness on his face. I cant live without her, so I have to lock her by my side.
Vicki could only stare at Jarrod speechlessly. But he didnt explain further. He just turned around and walked away.

During the days when Jarrod was under investigation, Vicki lived alone in agony and realized she couldnt hate Jarrod. But she despised Nicole who had caused Jarrod so much pain. She never thought it was Jarrod who trapped Nicole by his side and later acted out of desperation to escape.
No matter what, Vicki couldnt force herself to forget Jarrod. So, when he was released on bail that night, she couldnt stop herself from rushing over to find him.
As soon as they met, she got straight to the point. Jarrod, I can help you.
But unexpectedly, Jarrod refused without even listening to her. He said, I cant give you what you want. My love and hate have all been given to Nicole.
Perhaps Jarrod had been so tired from dealing with the scandal exposed by Nicole. He refused the idea of taking advantage of others.
However, Vicki didnt give in. Jarrod, I dont need your heart. It doesnt matter whether you love or hate her. I just need you by my side. You know as well as I do that your current predicament can only be resolved by marriage of convenience.
Vicki thought her offer was enticing enough. After all, she was beautiful with a good family background. Most importantly, her father adored her. Since her father doted on her so much, any man she married would definitely gain the Hampton familys support. Who wouldnt want to add such an icing to their cake?
Moreover, those big companies understood very well that powerful alliances through the marriage of convenience were the nutrients for stable development.
