Deep down, he harbored doubts about Jarrod resorting to such extreme measures as harming Nicole. He knew Nicole and Jarrods relationship was intricate. Jarrods sentiments toward Nicole oscillated between affection and animosity, albeit with affection prevailing.
Nevertheless, Mitchel couldnt fathom Jarrod sanctioning any harm against Nicole. There had to be a misunderstanding, yet with his absence from the country, the most expeditious means of Locating Nicole seemed to be reaching out to Jarrod directly.

The rapport between Mitchel and Jarrod had grown distant over time due to conflicting perspectives, and were it not for Luis interventions to their childhood uphold camaraderie, they might have drifted apart completely.
Anticipating nothing urgent from Mitchel, Jarrod casually greeted him in Vickis presence, Hello, Mitchel.
Where are you? Mitchel inquired tersely.
Just landed, grabbing a bite to eat, Jarrod responded.
Upon hearing Jarrods response, Mitchels conviction regarding Jarrods non-involvement in Nicoles disappearance solidified. However, he couldnt shake the suspicion that someone close to Jarrod might be implicated, given that few individuals were aware of Nicoles return to Ardlens. Apart from Jarrod and his associates, Nicole had few adversaries.
Nicole is in trouble, Mitchel asserted.
Jarrods expression grew tense. What happened?
Raegan called her and heard someone pursuing her. Subsequently, when we traced her phone signal, it vanished. We located the car she had been using, but shes nowhere to be found, Mitchel elaborated.
After processing the information, Jarrod remained silent for a few moments before responding, Ill take care of it.

Jarrod likely had suspicions regarding who might be behind it.

In contrast, Jarrod operated like a shark in his domain, employing ruthless tactics to secure his victories. His methods were widely disapproved of in the financial sphere, resulting in numerous bridges burned, and there were plenty who would welcome his downfall.
Hence, Mitchel couldnt help but feel that Jarrods endeavor to take Austins custody was ill-advised. Jarrod had amassed a significant number of adversaries, and if they were to learn of his connection to Austin, it could place Austin in jeopardy.
With a heavy sigh, Mitchel proceeded to call Raegan to provide her with an update.
Raegan anxiously awaited Mitchels call and answered his call almost immediately.
Mitchel, whats the situation? Raegans voice quivered with fear, dreading the possibility of Nicole encountering something dreadful.
Ive instructed Matteo to dispatch our most capable team to search and have also notified the authorities, but shes not at the location where she went missing. Were continuing the search, Mitchel admitted, opting for full transparency, knowing Raegans determined nature made concealing the truth futile.
