Chapter 1463:

? ? ? ? ?

Caught off guard by Nicole's sharp words, Vicki was unable to confess that Jarrod had never shown her true affection.

She replied with a hollow laugh, “Jarrod respects me. He is waiting for marriage, unlike you. You are just someone anyone can have, a mere plaything for him. Why are you acting so proud?”

“Oh, really?” Nicole replied calmly. “If he respects you so much, why aren't you married yet?”

His comment struck a chord, making Vicki feel as if she had been slapped repeatedly, her self-esteem in tatters.

With bitterness in her tone, Vicki snapped, “That’s because you’ve shamelessly insulted Jarrod! Do you really think he's yours? He doesn't love you. He only puts up with you for the child you have together. That's your angle, isn't it? Using your child to teach him. You’re despicable.”

Nicole stepped forward, causing Vicki to instinctively back away. Vicki threatened, “What are you doing? We're in a police station. “Lay a finger on me and I’ll have you arrested.”

The memory of Nicole's slap the day before continued to haunt Vicki. Although Nicole was thin, her strength was formidable. That blow had left Vicki's lip split, a memory that lingered painfully for days.

“Keep hitting me. I wish you were arrested,” Vicki scoffed, certain that Nicole lacked the guts.

Nicole stepped closer, causing Vicki to back away once again. Just as Vicki prepared for an attack, Nicole deftly stepped on Vicki's foot with her stiletto heel.

“My apologies, miss, I didn't see your foot there,” Nicole said, in a mock-apologetic tone.

Vicki's face turned pale as the searing pain seized her foot.

“You little bitch! “You’re a fucking whore,” Vicki snapped, outraged that Nicole would resort to such underhanded tactics.

Still, Nicole remained calm and collected. “Why are you so upset? Isn’t this your specialty?”

Vicki was a master of manipulation. She had always excelled at performing perverse acts while maintaining an appearance of innocence.

“I'm going to kill you, you piece of shit!” Vicki charged at Nicole, but a bodyguard quickly stepped in. “Miss, your father has ordered that there are to be no more interruptions,” she declared firmly, relaying Wayne’s directive to Vicki.

The Hampton family had been dealing with one scandal after another, leaving their reputation teetering on the brink of ruin. In these critical times, it was imperative that they maintain a low profile and stay away from negative attention.

The bodyguard whispered to Vicki, “Your father advises that discretion is the best part of valor. Patience is essential right now.”
