Nicole was surprised. She never expected Jarrod to punish Alec.
After all, Alec had helped Jarrod with many dirty things over the years. Alec had always been loyal to Jarrod. Even in the Schultz Group, Alec was the second-in-command.
Jarrod had never reprimanded Alec in front of his subordinates before for the sake of Alec’s dignity. But for some reason, Alec was now being punished by Jarrod.
Though confused behind the cause of Jarrod’s punishment, Nicole saw this a golden chance for her. Alec was the only person who guarded her in this villa.
Nicole deliberately stayed a little longer outside before returning to Jarrod’s room.
Jarrod was resting with his eyes closed. The reopened wound on his body caused his thin lips to be chapped, and his face was as pale as a ghost.
Jarrod had a wound on his forehead. The scar was half the length of a little finger, and it extended to his eyebrows. It looked so shocking. But despite this, he was still as handsome as ever.

Even back in college, Jarrod had been the object of pursuit for many girls. His family background, appearance, and everything about him were superior. Countless women were infatuated with him. However, he never bothered to show interest in them. Instead, he rejected them.
Actually, Nicole was one of those women. Back then, she was the one who pursued Jarrod. At that time, she was brokenhearted for being dumped. She didn’t get the reason of the sudden breakup.
Nicole only gave pursuing Jarrod a try, but she didn’t expect anything. She thought she would also have the same fate as those other women.
After all, Jarrod was a prominent figure in their school. He was the president of the student council. All kinds of accolades were given to him, making him shine like a golden statue.
But who would have thought Jarrod would agree when Nicole just casually flirted with him?
Nicole could still remember it clearly. They were in the laboratory at that time. She plucked up the courage to ask, “Jarrod, do you not have a girlfriend?”
Jarrod didn’t say anything. He just looked at her expressionlessly.
The atmosphere in the laboratory became awkward.
But Nicole didn’t give up. She put on a bright smile, reached out her hand to him, and said, “Hello, I am your girlfriend.”
Jarrod’s hands were in his pockets. He just stared at her hand hanging in the air without taking it.
Nicole was about to withdraw her hand. But suddenly, Jarrod grabbed it tightly and said, “Okay.” That was the only word he uttered.

The setting sun illuminated Jarrod’s facial features, making him look extremely handsome.
At that moment, Nicole admitted her heart raced. But now she realized all the disaster was planted at that moment. And everything was orchestrated by Jarrod. The sudden breakup announced by her boyfriend and their meeting were a part of it. It was all a lie.
Jarrod was a real madman. Because of him, the entire Lawrence family was plunged into an unjust disaster, shattered and ultimately destroyed. Her life, the stigma associated with her, the insults she had endured, and her family… She and her family were innocent.
Jarrod’s doings had caused the cheerful and smiling Nicole to die.
Now, there were only ruins left in Nicole’s heart. And the only memory she had was her hatred for Jarrod. Jarrod always reminded her of all the tragedies she and her family had encountered. For her, he was a beast who never cared about other people’s sufferings. He was absolutely unforgivable.
While Nicole was still immersed in the memories of the past, Jarrod suddenly opened his eyes.
