Before he could respond, Nicole suddenly burst into tears.
The river, veiled in mist, made her feel as though she had entered the underworld. Even her consciousness was hazy.
“Jarrod, why won’t you let me go, even after my death? I don’t want to see you. I hate you with all my heart! I’m seriously ill, and yet you throw me into the river to feed the fish. I just want to spend more time with my parents. Are you even gonna deprive me of that?”
Nicole leaned weakly against Jarrod’s chest like a stray puppy after a rain. She looked frail and pitiable.
At that moment, Jarrod felt a crushing weight on his chest that left him breathless.
After her complaints, an unending well of bitterness emerged.
With a heavy nasal tone, Nicole uttered, “Jarrod, I despise you so much! You’re evil. Scum! Jerk! You deserve to die!”
Nicole’s mind was in a mess, still thinking she had died. Without Jarrod in the picture, her parents might have a shot at a stable life.
With this in mind, death did not seem quite as bad. At least she had dragged this devil down with her!
Upon hearing these words, Jarrod froze for a moment.
“What the hell are you talking about, Nicole?”
“I’m saying you deserved to die! Your death is a blessing! Even the frogs would croak with joy at your passing!”
ALL of a sudden, Jarrod’s handsome face reverted to its usual cold and stern demeanor.
Perhaps he should not have expected much from this woman!
As Nicole expressed her hatred to Jarrod, her spirits seemingly began to lift.
“It seems like God heard my prayers and decided to take you down with me. Ha-ha-ha!”
Just then, Jarrod’s cold lips met hers, silencing her.
Nicole fell stunned.
His lips were cold, but his breath was warm.
Warm… Jarrod was still alive!
As Jarrod kissed her soft lips, it felt like the sweetness of her lips seemed to rejuvenate him in an instant.
Nicole was even more certain that neither she or Jarrod had died!
The satisfaction and fulfillment welled up in Jarrod, causing his eyes to darken. He ventured further and even parted her commanding lips.
Nicole’s body tensed. But the next second, she bit down on Jarrod’s tongue.
Jarrod was momentarily stunned, and Nicole seized this opportunity to turn her face away.
Clap! Then, without a second thought, Nicole slapped Jarrod across the face.
There was blood at the corner of Jarrod’s mouth. But it was not from her slap but from her bite.
A look of disdain flickered in her eyes. Nicole gritted her teeth in disgust and snarled, “Jarrod, why aren’t you dead yet!”
Jarrod had plummeted the whole Lawrence family into hell. Nicole hated him to the core.
In an instant, Jarrod’s cold and handsome face darkened.
Then, Nicole glanced at the vast river before directing her gaze at Jarrod’s tightly clenched arm around her. After pondering for a moment, she asked in disbelief, “Jarrod, are you… You jump down to save me?”
His face remained stoic, unashamed of being exposed.
As Nicole stared at him, a mocking smile formed on her Lips.
“How ridiculous. Jarrod, you are really something!”
He had pushed her into the water and then gone down to rescue her!
Instead of showing gratitude, Nicole ridiculed him. Jarrod’s expression turned gloomy.
Jarrod gripped her chin, and his expression turned dark and menacing.
“Nicole, since you seem to have forgotten, let me remind you. Your fate, whether you live or die, lies solely in my hands. I haven’t had enough fun yet. You want a quick, painless death? Not a chance!”
Each of Jarrod’s words cut like a venomous, icy blade and was dripping with malice!
However, Nicole felt no fear.
This was him. Jarrod’s true self. The man who resembled a devil.
At this moment, Nicole gazed at his cold, merciless face, and a sense of weariness glinted in her eyes.
“One day, you’ll regret not letting me meet my demise!”
Only she knew the extent of hatred behind her words.
Jarrod ran his tongue over his cheek and savored the bloody taste left by her bite. For some reason, it stirred a strange excitement within him.
“Is that so? I’ll patiently wait for that day.”
The yacht’s lifeboat had been lowered, and the bodyguards were approaching them to save them.
The bodyguards almost reached them.
Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters…
Just as Jarrod was starting to feel relieved, another resounding bang pierced the air.
The fish-hunting spear streaked through the sky, like a shooting star or meteorite.
Then, it hurtled toward them with destructive force.
In the blink of an eye, Jarrod made a split-second decision.
With both hands, he forcefully pushed Nicole away.
Bang! The next second, the spear was shot into his body.
The river was now filled with the scent of blood and the acrid tang of smoke.
On the yacht, screams of terror echoed.
“Mr. Schultz!”
The people on the yacht rescued Nicole first.
Then, they immediately returned to the water to retrieve Jarrod, who was covered in blood.
Nicole was stunned for a moment. She didn’t know what had happened just now.
ALL she remembered was Jarrod pushed her away.
Nicole stumbled ashore in a daze. On the other hand, the bodyguards immediately put Jarrod on a stretcher and carried him to the ambulance. Then, they took Nicole to another ambulance.
Since Nicole was submerged in the bone-chilling water for a long time, her body was now extremely cold and weak.
When Jamie saw all this, she panicked. She was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Jamie approached the ambulance where Nicole was and saw that Nicole was unharmed. Jarrod saved Nicole at that critical moment! Therefore, Jarrod was injured and covered in blood. Driven by jealousy, Jamie raised her hand without hesitation, wanting to slap Nicole.
Jamie warned, “If anything happens to Jarrod, I will not let you go.”
Nicole grabbed Jamie’s wrist. With a cold face, she said through clenched teeth, “Jamie, who fired that spear just now? It was you, right?”
Nicole looked at Jamie intently.
“You want to finish me, right?”
Jamie panicked at once.
“What are you talking about? I just wanted to help Jarrod drive away those fierce fish. If anything happens to him, you will be doomed!”
Nicole sneered, “If anything happens to him, it’s worth it even if I die.”
Without Jarrod, Nicole thought her parents might be able to live a good life. It was a fair bargain even if she died.
Despite being weak, Nicole somehow summoned some strength within her upon learning Jamie wanted to end her yet accidentally hurt Jarrod.
Jamie failed to break free from Nicole’s grip and could only stomp her feet angrily.
