Chapter 1455:

? ? ? ? ?

Jarrod issued a directive: "I have heard of an esteemed doctor who is now residing at South Mountain Hospital after his retirement. Seek means to extend to him an invitation to Mrs. Schultz's medical care."

Mrs. Schultz? Alec's confusion surfaced. “Mr. Schultz, a new Mrs. Schultz?”

"It's Nicole. We've registered our marriage," Jarrod said tersely.

Alec was silent for a long moment, his mind blank, as if on the verge of madness. How did they end up married?

After a long pause, Alec finally expressed his frustration, unable to contain his anger. “Sir, what are you thinking? You know that woman wants to hurt you, and yet you keep her around?”

Alec was completely baffled. It seemed to him that Jarrod's judgment needed serious questioning, perhaps even a medical evaluation. "He really doesn't seem right, like he needs treatment," Alec thought grimly.

“Don't worry. “Just follow my orders,” Jarrod ordered sharply.

Alec had earned the right to question Jarrod, having been by his side through thick and thin, even facing death together. Otherwise, he knew full well that such questions would normally be off limits.

“Sir…” Alec began, hoping to remind Jarrod of their early struggles and the peace they had worked so hard to achieve. To Alec, instead of distancing himself from a potential threat, Jarrod was now, metaphorically, sleeping with a ticking time bomb.

“Enough,” Jarrod cut him off. “Nicole is now my wife. All of the resources of the Schultz Group must support her unconditionally. Furthermore, I will not tolerate anyone mistreating her. Do you understand?”

Alec was speechless. He didn't understand. He couldn't understand why Jarrod would commit himself so completely to a woman known for her ruthless and calculating nature. But he had no choice. He had to comply with Jarrod's directive and ensure his safety at the same time.

“I understand.” Alec agreed.

“Proceed,” Jarrod waved him off.

After leaving, Alec's frustration showed in his actions. He berated the slackers on staff, telling everyone in the company that it was best not to cross him today.

Meanwhile, Nicole had taken a short break and decided to venture out. She headed to the police station to speak to the babysitter, who was now a key figure in proving Vicki's involvement. Nicole knew that Vicki would never confess to any crime.

On the way, Nicole ran into the short-haired police officer who had spoken so firmly to her at the door the other day.

The agent recognized Nicole and greeted her politely: "Miss Lawrence."
