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."
