Chapter: 1229
Fuming, Jamie vowed to settle scores with Nicole.
Jamie summoned the hotel concierge, lifted her gown, and said determinedly, "Follow that car."
In the car, Jarrod sat rigidly, absorbed in a live stream on his phone. His lips were a tight line, his demeanor chilling.
Crack! Suddenly, rain started pelting down heavily.
The heavy downpour cast a gloomy shadow over the city.
Despite the poor signal and noisy background, Jarrod could hear panicked voices.
“Oh, my God! Someone's about to jump off that building!"
“Why would he want to kill himself by jumping off the Lawrence Group building? Could he be an employee in a dispute with the Lawrence Group?"
"I've heard it's the CEO of the Lawrence Group. The reason for his decision to leap is unclear. The police were here for him earlier, likely to arrest him. Perhaps the pressure became too much for him to bear..."
The crowd buzzed with speculation.
Upon hearing these, Jarrod's eyes reddened with rising anger.
"Alec, investigate the issue with Nicole's father," Jarrod instructed.

Yet, he couldn't help but worry about Nicole's well-being in such a scenario.
For the first time, Jarrod considered sparing Wesson for Nicole's sake.
