Sure enough, Jarrod's tone softened a bit. He said, "Enough. You haven't fully recovered yet. Go back and rest first."

But Jamie was not pleased at all. Instead, she got even angrier. Was he trying to coax her? Or was he driving her away?

Jamie gritted her teeth and said hatefully, “Jarrod, are you just going to let go of the fact that Nicole hurt me? She was serious about killing me. And what she did to me still gives me nightmares every night.

"She has been punished," Jarrod said indifferently.

For a moment, Jamie felt like she was about to lose control of her emotions. Her face contorted in anger. Nicole had already been punished? What did he mean? Nicole was still alive. She wasn't punished enough.

Jarrod was even sorry for Nicole because Nicole had lost her child.

Could it be that it was Jarrod's child?

At the thought of this, Jamie clenched her fists tightly. Nicole was such a bitch!

Jarrod noticed that Jamie just kept her head down, and she seemed sad.

He rubbed his temples and shook his head wearily. “I know you're upset. I'll ask Alec to take you to choose another villa by the river tomorrow."

With this one, Jamie already had three villas and five large apartments under her name.

Jarrod was always generous to Jamie. He never cared about those things and just gave them to her at will.

He once promised her before that he would transfer eight percent of his company's shares to Jamie after their wedding.

It was a substantial amount of money.

The expression on Jamie's face softened a little. She realized that although she hated Nicole to the core, she couldn't immediately kill her.

Suddenly, Jamie thought of something. She pouted and said, “But Jarrod, why did you send someone to investigate my brother? Don't you know you are making me lose face in this situation?"

Jarrod didn't say anything about it. He just frowned.

Jamie leaned on him, shook his arm, and said coquettishly, “Don't let Alec make trouble for my brother, okay?"

“Alec is not making trouble," Jarrod said with a smile. But his smile did not reach his eyes. “Jamie, since he is your brother, I respect him. But it doesn't mean I can let him interfere in my affairs at will. Do you understand?"

His smile sent a chill down Jamie's spine. She had known him for three years, but she had never seen him smile like this.
