Emerging from within, a vigilant security guard inquired, Whom do you seek?
Providing the nannys name, Nicole was met with a perplexed frown as the guard rebutted, No such individual resides here.
Even if such a person existed, servants were not typically recognized by the security. They only acknowledged the masters of the household and individuals of significance.
Undeterred, Nicole asserted, I am the biological mother of the young master here, and I demand to see him.
The security guards exchanged glances. While acknowledging Austins presence, they remained oblivious to any mention of his biological mother.
Furthermore, Vicki stood as the sole visitor available to attend to Austin. Suddenly, this woman emerged, claiming to be his biological mother. How could they readily accept her assertion and grant her entry?
Additionally, even if she were indeed Austins biological mother, they still couldnt permit her entry. As they hadnt received instructions from Jarrod, they were unable to grant her access.

They gestured firmly, stating, Madam, if indeed you are the young masters mother, you can contact Mr. Schultz to arrange for security clearance. Were simply fulfilling our duties, endeavoring not to inconvenience you.
The security guards of the mansion were cunning. Having encountered numerous purported VIPs of little significance, they refrained from condescension. Instead, they maintained a consistently polite demeanor toward all individuals. They didnt want to offend Austins biological mother if Nicole was telling the truth. They dared not exhibit any discourtesy toward her. Even if she wasnt, exhibiting politeness remained a virtue. However, admission for her was only contingent upon them obtaining directions.
Nicole considered the guards stance accurate. In the absence of Jarrods directives, access to the estate was prohibited. She retrieved her phone, pondered briefly, and then dialed Jarrods number.
Unexpectedly, it was Alec who answered the call.
The recent conflict over the wedding still lingered, and Alecs response to Nicole was far from courteous. Instead, his tone carried a hint of sarcasm. Miss Lawrence, what prompts you to contact Mr. Schultz? Its quite rare. What? You got good news?
Nicole disregarded his ironic tone and inquired straightforwardly, Is Jarrod available?
Hes currently engaged in a meeting. Before Nicole could interject, Alec added, He is addressing the aftermath of your previous blunder.
Miss Lawrence, your conduct at Roscoes wedding was rather startling.
Im uncertain what prompted Mr. Schultz to retrieve you from the wedding venue, but as a consequence, the collaboration with the Watts family has unraveled.

disdain for Roscoe and decisively terminates the arrangement. While the termination was quite gratifying, it necessitates finding another partner, hence he is now diligently pursuing alternatives despite sustaining injuries.
Nicole had never realized Alec could be so persistently bothersome.
He had talked for a long time, yet none of it aligned with her interests. Jarrods personal affairs failed to captivate her attention. Whether or not Jarrod terminated the cooperation with the Watts family mattered little to her. After all, the Watts family business didnt concern Roscoe.
It was commendable that Jarrod was willing to stir up trouble for the Watts family. Recently, the Watts family had become less audacious, and at least they werent concocting any nefarious schemes against Roscoe. At present, her primary concern revolved around Austins safety.
Nicole said, Alec, could you kindly request Jarrod to take my call? I have an urgent matter to discuss.
Do you truly expect Mr. Schultz to forsake his duties merely to attend to your call? Alec asked.
Nicole, momentarily taken aback, responded, I do have an exceptionally urgent matter
How do I articulate your character, Miss Lawrence? Alec interrupted her again. Every time you seek Mr. Schultz, its never for anything commendable. Your association invariably spells trouble, yet he persistently cleans up after you. Consider the incident on that mountain road. You lack gratitude for Mr. Schultzs life-saving favor, and as if that wasnt enough, you even took off to find Roscoe while Mr. Schultz lay unconscious. Your audacity is truly something!
