This remark ignited Jarrod’s fury. He leaned forward abruptly, gripping Nicole’s chin tightly. “What makes you think you can talk to me with that vicious tone?”
Vicious? To Nicole, his accusation seemed almost laughable. Howe ordered those two women to attack her in the detention center. Then, he even locked her up in the villa to bully her. All of these must have something to do with Jamie. Jarrod must have supported Jamie throughout the time.
In her eyes, it was Jamie and Jarrod who deserved to face damnation, not her.
She couldn’t care less about how Jarrod viewed her. His opinion of her, whether he saw her as cruel or not, held no weight in her heart.
Over the past few days, Jarrod had cast numerous accusations at her.
She really didn’t care about it at all.

Her memories of Jarrod were marred by his insults and disrespect toward her and her family. The downfall of the Lawrence Group, her father’s hospitalization, and every calamity seemed tied to either Jarrod or Jamie.

Jarrod’s expression darkened at her words.

In a sudden move, he seized Nicole by the neck and pushed her against the bedside cabinet.
Because of that, Nicole coughed violently.
His indifference to her pain was evident as he coldly remarked, “You’re getting pretty reckless, Nicole.”
He lifted her effortlessly, tossing her onto the bed.
Despite the softness of the bed cushioning her fall, the impact, however, was still jarring.
Nicole, alarmed, questioned him as he advanced, “What are you up to, Jarrod?”
Jarrod leaned over with a wicked smile on his face. He said to himself he didn’t need to negotiate with Nicole. He could do whatever he wanted with her. She was his woman.
“I’m offering you a chance to redeem yourself by having my child.
Even with a baby, you can’t erase what you’ve done!” Jarrod declared.
He lunged toward Nicole, attempting to remove her clothes.
“Get away from me!” Nicole snapped, her voice thunderous.
