Jamie felt the pain had engulf her body.
“Ah! It hurts!” she cried out.
She tried to get up by herself in vain.
The pain was unbearable, far worse than a knife cut.
Jamie couldn’t take it any longer, fretting about her well-being.
Desperate, she confessed everything, “Fine! You’re right! I tried to push you against the pillar!”
She had to confess. Without instant medical treatment, the excruciating pain might kill her.
Yet, Jamie held on to the hope that she’d have other opportunities to finish Nicole.
“I was going to let you go, yet you still tried to harm me by attempting to push me against the pillar. This is my father’s funeral.
How dare you!” Nicole said, her voice icy.
Jamie felt a wave of guilt at the mention of Nicole’s father.
“Was that all you did to me?” Nicole pressed on.
Jamie was startled, hesitant to answer. She had done numerous misdeeds to Nicole over time and wasn’t sure which Nicole was referring to.
Seeing Jamie’s confused expression, Nicole pointed it out directly, “You asked Kieran to frame me, didn’t you? You demanded Howe to send those two women to attack me and my unborn child in the detention center. And you helped Howe with the torture I received in that villa, right?”
As Nicole listed these, Jamie’s face flushed with shame.
Suddenly, Jamie snapped, “If you already knew I did it, why ask?
Call an ambulance now! Jarrod will be furious if he finds out about this!”
When Nicole heard Jamie mention Jarrod, she couldn’t help but ask, “Jamie, don’t you worry about Jarrod finding out the truth?”
Without hesitation, Jamie snapped back, “So what if he does? Did he react when I messed with you last time? Jarrod’s head over heels for me. He’ll always take my side, no matter what. Our relationship is different from the one between you and him.”
Nicole, puzzled, questioned, “Your relationship? What do you mean?”
Jamie, caught off guard by the question, started to panic. Did Nicole know about the truth? logically speaking, it shouldn’t be. She had handled that matter well, and Nicole didn’t remember what exactly had happened back then. Unless Nicole had recalled it already!
Lost in her thoughts, Jamie heard Nicole’s sarcastic remark. “The two of you are just those flies who share the same tastes! You two should go to hell hand in hand!”
Nicole knew that as long as Jarrod was around, she couldn’t take her revenge on Jamie. She couldn’t make Jamie and Howe pay for their wrongdoings.
Frustrated and helpless, Nicole could only mock, unable to punish these evil souls.
She was struggling enough to survive, let alone seek justice for the lawrence family.
This realization only deepened Nicole’s sadness.
Amidst her pain and covered in blood, Jamie wailed. “I’ve told you everything. Call an ambulance! I need a doctor, now!”
Nicole, with a disgusted face, said to the man at the mourning hall’s entrance, “Get her out of here. She’s disturbing my father’s peace.”
Suddenly, Jamie went pale. Jarrod was here? When did he get here?
But if Jarrod had been here for a while, he wouldn’t have just stood by. He likely just arrived!
In a desperate cry, Jamie yelled, “Jarrod, help! Nicole pushed me against the pillar. She’s trying to kill me.”
Jamie’s entire face and upper body were covered with blood, making her look terrifying.
But even at this time, she still didn’t forget to frame Nicole.
“Help! Help me! Please… This crazy woman has completely gone out of her mind. She wants to kill me!” Jamie cried hysterically. And with her terrible face, she looked quite miserable.
Unfortunately, her vision was blinded by the blood. She couldn’t see the expression on Jarrod’s face now. Otherwise, she would be shocked.
If Jarrod hadn’t heard everything, he might have been deceived by Jamie again.
But this time, he was sober. He said expressionlessly, “Jamie, I heard everything.”
amie was stunned for a while. Did Jarrod really hear everything?
Jamie felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, making her shiver uncontrollably.
“Jarrod, let me explain. It’s not… It’s not what you think it is.
It’s Nicole! It’s all her fault! She forced me to say those words.”
As she spoke, Jamie burst into tears. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
The salty tears flowed to her wounds, and she winced in pain. Her ugly face looked even more miserable.
However, Jarrod could no longer feel pity or sympathy for Jamie in his heart. With an indifferent expression, he said in a cold and distant voice, “Jamie, I told you many times not to challenge my bottom line.”
Jamie had schemed against the baby in Nicole’s belly. That baby was his own flesh and blood. How dare she murder his child!
At the thought of the loss of his baby, Jarrod felt like strangling Jamie to death. But he was so disgusted with her that he didn’t want to touch her. He despised her from the bottom of his heart.
“Jarrod, believe me. Nicole really wanted to kill me just now. I only said those words to save myself. Those things have nothing to do with me. Really… It’s Howe… He did it all by himself. I have nothing to do with it.”
At this moment, Jamie no longer cared about Howe. All that mattered to her now was to save herself. Jamie could even take advantage of anyone, including her family, just to save herself.
“Now that things have reached this point, you still want to lie to me?”
Jarrod realized Jamie couldn’t see because the blood had blocked her vision. But he still said to her, “You used an excuse to distract Alec. Then, you stole the contract from my safe and gave it to someone, right?”
“I… No, I…” Jamie didn’t have the strength to lie anymore because of the pain. Her whole body ached, yet she still couldn’t receive any medical treatment. Impatient, she snapped, “I just hate Nicole for taking you away from me. I’m your fianc?e. Shouldn’t I defend my engagement with you?”
After saying this, Jamie crawled on the floor and touched Jarrod’s cold leather shoes. She held them tightly and cried, “Jarrod, I only did those things because I love you so much.”
Upon hearing this, Jarrod stepped on the back of Jamie’s hands and crushed them hard mercilessly.
Suddenly, Jamie’s miserable howls filled the mourning hall.
But Jarrod didn’t feel even the slightest bit of pity. He said word by word ruthlessly, “Jamie, you know very well that I hate deception the most. You lied to me and even took advantage of the situation to kill my innocent child. Worse still, you knew that baby was mine!”
He had thought Jamie was arrogant but kind-hearted. He didn’t mind tolerating her temper. But he never thought she could do those evil things.
He failed to see Jamie’s true colors all along, being deceived by her and even indulging her wrongdoings unintentionally.
Actually, Jarrod had only indulged Jamie because she reminded him of Nicole in some way. He now realized he was wrong.
Nicole’s arrogance was coupled with confidence, stemming from her parents’ love for her and her wealthy family background.
Nicole was somewhat willful, but she never bullied anyone. She was straightforward, but she was actually a warm-hearted person.
Jamie’s arrogance, on the contrary, was mixed with viciousness, selfishness, and schemes.
Jarrod couldn’t help blaming himself because his indulgence had helped Jamie turn into such an evil soul. He was to blame.
Nicole didn’t want to watch Jarrod and Jamie arguing and shifting the blame. She hated it. Especially when Jarrod mentioned the loss of their child, she felt even more disgusted.
Nicole pointed at the door and shouted, “Both of you, get out of here!”
This time, Jarrod didn’t refute Nicole, which was very rare to happen.
Instead, he turned to Alec and ordered him to drag Jamie out of the mourning hall first. Then, he asked someone to clean the place.
However, Jarrod didn’t leave. He looked at Nicole and said guiltily, “Nicole, I didn’t know anything about Jamie’s misdeeds until now.”
His voice was so low as if he feared being despised by Nicole.
But even if Jarrod didn’t know about Jamie’s wrongdoings, it was not enough to absolve him. After all, Jamie derived confidence from his indulgence.
Nicole sneered, “Jarrod, are you kidding me? I’ve recorded everything that your wife had said just now. Tell me which hospital you sent my mother to. Otherwise, I’ll expose what she said to the public.”
Nicole knew that the recording alone could not be used as evidence against Jamie and Howe in court. But the power of public opinion was more than enough to condemn them. She knew Jarrod didn’t want that.
Jarrod frowned. “Jamie is not my wife. We’re not married.”
But Nicole just ignored his words. She asked furiously, “Where did you take my mother? I want to see her now.”
No one else could hide her mother’s admission to the hospital from her like this except Jarrod.
Jarrod explained, “I didn’t mean any harm in hiding your mother’s condition from you.”
Nicole was already devastated by the loss of her father. Jarrod was afraid she couldn’t bear another blow, so he hid Dora’s condition from her.
