Nicole squeezed Dora's palm to comfort her and said in a low voice, “Mom, please go upstairs and check on dad first. Don't worry.

Everything will be all right. Let me handle this."

Dora didn't resist. She turned around and left in a hurry.

Nicole walked to the company's entrance with her phone in her hand.

Then, she dialed Jarrod's number with a trembling hand.

Her call was answered.

But before she could say anything, it was hung up.

Nicole didn't give up. She tried over and over again, praying from the bottom of her heart.

“Jarrod, answer the phone. Damn you! Answer it now," Nicole murmured through clenched teeth. She wanted to tell him that she was willing to do whatever he wanted. If he wanted her to get pregnant with his child, she would. If he wanted her to be his mistress, she would no longer resist.

She got rid of all the resistance and stubbornness in her heart.

What mattered to her now was for Jarrod to let go of Wesson.

When Nicole dialed Jarrod's number the fifth time, all she heard on the other end of the Line was a cold voicemail prompt.

“Sorry, the number you are calling is currently unattended. Please leave a message after the beep..."

Nicole's mind went blank for a moment. Tears streamed down her face and blurred her eyes. She couldn't think of anything, so she could only implore instinctively.

"Jarrod, please... Help my dad..."

But before she could finish her words, she suddenly heard a noise outside.

Someone shouted in horror, “Oh, my God! Somebody is going to jump off the building!"

Then, it was followed by a loud bang.

Nicole was so astounded that her mind went blank.

At this moment, Saatchi Hotel, the biggest five-star hotel in Ardlens, was brightly lit.
