? ? ? ? ?

Nicole's eyes snapped open. He looked at Jarrod with a pale face.

The corners of Jarrod's lips twitched. He said weakly, "What are you waiting for?"

Nicole felt as if she had been struck by lightning hearing him say those words. His whole body hurt, he burned with agony.

This pain was now more unbearable than the physical abuse he had inflicted on her before.

Nicole began to shake violently. He looked at Jarrod with eyes full of fear and tears.

«Jarrod, please. I can't... Please don't...

Nicole panicked. He crawled to Jarrod's feet and screamed, “You… You can't do this to me… Please don't do this to me. I've helped you before.

Jamie's face paled upon hearing this.

However, Jarrod didn't notice Jamie's expression at that moment and refused to listen to Nicole any further. He kicked Nicole and snapped, “How dare you mention that again! Everyone in Ardlens knows that the members of the Lawrence family are snobbish and selfish.

Regardless, you have the right to make a decision, Miss Lawrence. Either you do it or you reject it. "It all depends on you."

Nicole smiled bitterly. Did I have the right to choose?

What kind of choice did Jarrod want me to make? Should he just watch the Lawrence family driven out of business with huge debt?

That being the case, Nicole thought she was worth a lot.

Suddenly, Nicole felt like nothing mattered to her anymore. He straightened his back, looked at Jarrod, and said, "Jarrod, I don't owe you anything."

As he spoke, his eyes were so clear and sincere that Jarrod couldn't help but frown slightly.

Her look made him think of something. Was what he had said about the past true?

Could it be that she had never betrayed him? He may have tried to help him, but to no avail.

But he immediately dispelled this thought from his mind.

Jarrod tried to convince himself that Nicole was just lying. He reminded himself not to believe a word Nicole said.

After all, I had investigated in the past, but nothing that Nicole said had happened.

Jarrod was convinced that Nicole was a vicious woman. Otherwise, what he was doing to him now would make him struggle and feel uncomfortable.

Jamie abandoned the idea of ​​making Nicole known. She realized that the more people knew about Nicole, the more disadvantaged she would be for her.

It was difficult to know if anyone else knew exactly what had happened then. What if someone came forward and proved that Nicole's words were true?

Thinking about it, Jamie stomped on Nicole's arm and said viciously, “Whore! How dare you seduce Jarrod in front of me!

You are truly shameless.

The next second, a cracking sound was heard.

The bones in Nicole's arm were fractured.

Jamie withdrew her foot and said, “Forget it. Let's get out of here.

"This bitch is an eyesore."

The restaurant manager waited for Jarrod and the others to leave.

Then he picked up Nicole and sent her to the hospital.

Nicole had a broken arm and needed to be hospitalized for a few days.

The restaurant manager asked Nicole if she wanted to call someone, but she just shook her head. He couldn't let anyone know that Jarrod had done something like that to him.

If he let any of his family know, the Lawrence family would be doomed.

On the other hand, Raegan didn't know how she got home. She still felt very dizzy.

He tried calling Mitchel twice, but he didn't answer.

When she was about to call him again for the third time, she suddenly found what he was doing hilarious.

From the moment they reconciled, she had always felt uncomfortable. He always had the feeling that he had taken Mitchel away from someone else despite being his legitimate wife. And the feeling of happiness he felt somehow increased his discomfort. It seemed amazing to him.

He later realized that the more he feared something, the more likely it was to happen.

Raegan waited for Mitchel to call her back and fell asleep with the phone in her hand. When he woke up the next morning, the first thing he did was look at his phone.

But there were no missed calls or new messages. There was nothing of him.

Raegan was distracted all day. I didn't understand what was happening.

The next day, when she went to visit her grandmother at the nursing home, she asked her to pick out a pretty outfit for her, telling her that she wanted to be pretty when she met Mitchel.

Raegan intended to say something, but stopped herself when she saw her grandmother's bright smile, not wanting to ruin her good mood.

That night, Raegan finally received a call from Mitchel, asking what had happened. His voice sounded fatigued.

“Will you come back tomorrow?” Raegan asked.

There was silence on the other end of the line. Then Mitchel said briefly, "No."

Raegan thought for a while before asking, "Is it because you have to accompany Lauren?"

Mitchel's eyes narrowed. He asked: "Who told you?"

Raegan pursed her lips. He didn't need anyone to tell him. After all, Lauren was eager to tell the world with her posts.

Silence fell between them. After a while, Mitchel said, "It's true that Lauren is here too." But he hasn't come for me. He has come on business. "We are both busy and don't have time to see each other."

"Didn't you pick her up at the airport?"

“It's a little messy here. “I have to take care of her, especially since she came alone,” Mitchel said naturally. It was as if those words were already deeply etched in his mind.

Raegan felt like someone was strangling her hard. I could barely breathe.

Mitchel continued, "Honey, are you jealous again?"

«Of course not. Well, I won't ask these kinds of questions again.

Raegan replied lightly.

Mitchel frowned.

«Why are you angry with me again? Please. "I haven't slept enough these last two days."

Raegan felt that Mitchel's words were quite harsh. It was like he was blaming her for creating trouble out of nowhere.

But she always believed that sincerity and communication were the most important thing between a couple.

Mitchel always missed his calls and didn't respond to his messages when he was abroad. Even the news that Lauren was with him came from other people. She never found out anything from him.

Couldn't I let him get a little excited?

Thinking about this, Raegan said seriously, “Mitchel, I'm not being unreasonable. All I want is for you to be honest with me. I can accept what you tell me. But don't lie to me. Even if we get divorced one day, I hope we can part on good terms."

His tone was serious. She was upset at the time, not knowing how to explain to her grandmother about postponing the meeting with Mitchel.

Plus, Mitchel and Lauren were now in the same country. As long as Lauren wanted to, she could find a way to get in touch with Mitchel.

Raegan didn't want to be a fool and the last person to know the truth.

“Raegan, what do you mean by that?” Mitchel asked, frowning. He sounded very unhappy.

What he hated most now was hearing anything about their breakup.

"Nothing. "Remember what I told you," Raegan replied nonchalantly.

Then they both fell into silence.

This kind of silence was annoying, it hinted at something.

Then Raegan heard someone talking to Mitchel. After communicating with that person in a foreign language, he told Raegan that he had to get back to work.

Before hanging up the phone, Mitchel told him, “Don't think too much. I have to teach you a lesson when I get back.

That night, Raegan didn't sleep well.

The next day, he went to the nursing home early in the morning.

She explained to her grandmother that Mitchel couldn't come back at the moment.

Raegan could tell her grandmother was disappointed. But still, her grandmother comforted her by telling her that Mitchel's job was more important than her date.

But Raegan still felt discouraged seeing her grandmother in this new outfit. Suddenly, an idea occurred to him.

"Grandma, how about we go back to your house and stay there for one night?"

He knew that his grandmother had been thinking about returning home.

Her grandmother looked at her surprised.

"Really? Will the doctor agree?

"Don't worry. "I'll talk to the doctor."

Raegan left the room and headed to the doctor's office.

The doctor first looked at his grandmother's medical history.

Then he said seriously, "I'd better be prepared for the worst."

Raegan's heart sank to the bottom at these words.
