Moments earlier, Howe was so excited that he spilled the beans. It directly came from his mouth that Nicole was lucky those two women in the detention center didn't kill her. Otherwise, he couldn't have tortured her today.

Nicole asked Howe if he had something to do with those two women.

And he admitted it without hesitation.

Howe thought it was not a problem even if he confessed to Nicole.

After all, Jarrod would undoubtedly cover for him. What could she do?

Nicole turned to look at Jarrod. And when she saw his unsurprised expression, she sneered, "So, you already knew it was him. How ridiculous!"

Jarrod didn't say anything.

Indeed, Alec found out that the person behind that incident at the detention center was Howe. However, due to his forthcoming wedding with Jamie, Jarrod planned to deal with Howe after the ceremony.

Of course, Jarrod wouldn't let go of Howe just like that. But he couldn't have Howe arrested right now. It wasn't the right time yet.

He didn't want Jamie to lose face.

So, everything had to wait until their wedding was finished.

After thinking for a while, Jarrod explained, “I never said I would let him go. But it's not yet the time to deal with him. He can't go to jail at this moment, no matter what. It's not the right time yet."

Nicole's heart was overwhelmed by despair. And she was angry that Jarrod was always distressed by Jamie's tears. This only meant she had to swallow her pride. And she was also forced to let Howe go.

She had no other choice.

Nicole felt she was treated inhumanely, and her hatred against Jarrod, Howe, and Jamie intensified.

But before she could make any move, she had to think of her father's operation. She needed Jarrod's assistance for her father to have a successful operation, so she had to swallow all the pain, no matter how much it hurt.

After all these thoughts, Nicole said calmly, "I know what to say when dealing with the police. But you have to help me with something."

"What is it?" Jarrod asked.

"Howe took a video of him hitting me. You must destroy it!" Nicole answered. Initially, she wanted that video so she could use it as evidence in the future.

But she knew Jarrod wouldn't give it to her voluntarily, so she'd better destroy it. Otherwise, it would only remind her of Howe. Every time she thought of Howe, she felt so disgusted that she wanted to throw up.
