He lay there panting like a panting dog.

Deniz was perplexed by the sudden turn of events. Noticing Jarrod pulling Nicole out of the water, he wondered when Jarrod had started playing the hero, rescuing people from drowning.

Deniz's eyes wandered, planning how to get Nicole back. He intended to take advantage of his connection to the Hampton family, believing that Jarrod would not dismiss his request.

Although Deniz cursed Jarrod inwardly, he smiled fawningly and pointed at Nicole. «Mr. Schultz, do you remember her? "She is the companion who brought us earlier to play."

The mention of the term "escort" caused a drastic change in Jarrod's expression, transforming it into an ugly expression.

Deniz was trying to be clever, not knowing that he was actually being incredibly stupid. He thought Jarrod had hit him in the past simply out of frustration, and he attributed his entanglement with Nicole to bad luck.

Now fearing that Jarrod might take Nicole from him, Deniz resorted to dredging up the past to tarnish Nicole's reputation. After all, Nicole had recorded damning evidence of her actions. For the sake of his future, he had to destroy all the evidence Nicole had.

Turning to Jarrod, Deniz stated: “Mr. Schultz, this bitch tried to seduce me and when it didn't work, she falsely accused me of trying to rape her!

Oblivious to Jarrod's increasingly somber expression, Deniz pointed to the money and other objects in the pool, making up a story. «Look, she stole all this. Give it to me and I'll take care of it."

Jarrod's eyes became even darker, and his voice was cold as ice when he spoke. “Are you saying she seduced you?”

“Yeah, she does that for a living, right?” Deniz mocked. Have you forgotten how loud and sassy she was when you brought her out for drinks? Practically pushing her chest in my face and asking me to call her Nicky..."

Deniz's lascivious gaze stopped at Nicole's long, straight legs. Her figure was undeniably tempting.

Bitter at missing out and facing a beating instead, Deniz snapped, “Damn this whore, selling herself everywhere and now trying to trick me! That…"

“Deniz,” Jarrod called sharply.

With a fawning smile on his face, Deniz replied: "Yes, Mr. Schultz?"

Jarrod's gaze drifted toward the blue pool as he said nonchalantly, "Get in."

Deniz was stunned for a moment and giggled. "Mr. Schultz, you are very joking...

Before he could finish, a loud bang echoed through the air.

Jarrod's kick launched Deniz's bulky body into the water.

This kick was even more forceful than the previous one, aimed directly at Deniz's face. It left Deniz in indescribable pain.

Maintaining his terrifying strength, Jarrod effortlessly held Nicole with one arm.

Towering over Deniz from the pool deck, Jarrod asked, "What do you think of that joke?"

Totally confused, Deniz waved helplessly in the water, causing countless splashes. "Ah!" he cried, his voice gurgling on the water. «Help me…»

Seeing Deniz thrashing around in the water, Jarrod spoke in a cold and threatening tone. «Clean that dirty mouth of yours. If I hear you say such dirty things again..."

His lips curved into something resembling a smile, but his words dripped with bloodlust. "I will cut out your tongue."

After the warning, Jarrod turned around, ignoring Deniz's desperate pleas for help.

Nicole, too unwell to speak, felt her legs twisting uncontrollably.

His mind fluctuated between clarity and confusion.

Deniz's derogatory words, who called her an escort, echoed in her ears.

She knew that was how others saw her and that it was all due to the role that the man holding her had assigned her.

To calm Nicole's trembling legs, Jarrod lifted her off his shoulder and held her sideways in front of him as if she were a princess, letting her legs rest in the crook of his arms.

Seizing the opportunity, Nicole bit down on his chest, clenching her teeth until the taste of blood forced her to let go.

Unfazed by the pain, Jarrod asked nonchalantly, “What, are you done yet?

Can you stand it now?

Nicole's entire body was flushed with heat, a symptom that said it all.

Gritting her teeth to suppress the trembling of her body, Nicole demanded, “Put me down!”

Silently, Jarrod threw his jacket over Nicole and continued forward as he pleased.

Nicole's clothes were completely wet. Her underwear stuck to her skin, hot and uncomfortable.

She punched and kicked the man carrying her, struggling frantically. "Put me down!" he begged incessantly. She was determined not to waste her efforts against Deniz.

Seeing her concern, Jarrod paused for a moment and said reassuringly, “I'll have Alec take care of the aftermath. "Deniz will face the consequences."

Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. With Jarrod taking charge of the situation, at least some things would go the way she wanted.

Deniz's sister-in-law was married to the brother of the president of the Hampton corporation. The Hampton and Schultz families were deeply intertwined in business relationships. Jarrod's move against Deniz, which had come without any prior indication, was tantamount to a slap in the face to the Hampton family. It was sure to create a rift in the strong cooperation between the Hampton and Schultz families.

Nicole finally relaxed, but an intense craving quickly followed. The restless itch at the bottom of her heart threatened to overwhelm her.

Carried by Jarrod's strong arms, Nicole found herself placed in the car.

Without hesitation, Jarrod ordered the driver to raise the screen and accelerate toward the hospital.

In her dazed and resistant state, Nicole did not hear the car's destination.

His reddened eyes glared at Jarrod, and his voice was rough as he asked, "What do you want?"

With a disdainful look, he warned, "Jarrod, if you dare touch me, I swear I'll kill you!"
