Jamie’s gaze drifted to the deck below Nicole, subtly hinting at something.
Nicole’s eyelashes fluttered with distress, and her mind raced for a solution.
Plop! In a moment of desperation, Nicole knelt down.
Apart from her parents, Nicole had never knelt before anyone but Jarrod.
At this moment, tears streamed down her face.
Nicole forced herself to calm down. After a long while, she Looked up at Jarrod and pleaded, “Mr. Schultz, please, spare the Lawrence Group.”
Jarrod turned to see Nicole, who was once so proud and strong, now kneeling before him. His eyebrows twitched.
He thought he would feel triumphant and vindicated.

His eyes ached at the sight of her bent knees.
Why? Well, maybe it was because he was not ruthless enough. Maybe that was the reason he didn’t draw pleasure from her miserable look.
After all, Nicole was good at playing the victim.
He shouldn’t get soft-hearted at her. He should put aside his strange feelings toward her.
Jarrod’s eyes hardened and regained their usual coldness and ruthlessness.
Kneeling before him, Nicole bowed her head and said, “There is something wrong with the contract with Saatchi and the Roissy Group.
The Lawrence Group’s very survival is at stake. Please, show some mercy.”

It was his doing, after all. He had expected Nicole would come to beg him. Therefore, he refused to see her.
“I heard you secured these deals after a wine-heavy meeting. How come you encounter such problems so soon?” Jarrod asked, his eyes as cold as a glacier.
Upon hearing this, Nicole felt more certain the situation had something to do with him. After all, she had obtained these deals without his knowledge.
“Mr. Schultz, you can do what you want to me. But please, spare the Lawrence Group. Hundreds of employees depend on it. I can’t let them down.”
With a sneer tugging at the corners of his mouth, Jarrod replied, “That’s none of my concern.”
Nicole’s fingertips quivered subtly.
