Guess what? He shared a fascinating tale with me. He claimed they were hired to eliminate me, and the person behind it was none other than your darling fiancée, Jamie. After knocking me hard on the head, they thought that I was already dead and dumped me in a ditch. The money I had for you? It ended up in Jamie's hands. She used that money to help support your career. I guess you couldn't forget that, right?"

Jarrod's expression underwent a drastic shift at her words. "I can't believe it. It's not..

Nicole cut him off, “It's not true? Alright. Consider it just an intriguing tale! But there's more to the story..."

Jarrod tensed up, exclaiming sharply, “That's enough!"

“While you were heading to the ferry, did a gangster give you trouble, and was it Jamie who came to your rescue when things got dire?" Nicole sneered.

Jarrod's eyes widened in shock. He didn't dare to hear anymore, yet he found himself speechless before Nicole.

"I was the pathetic one who fought off the gangster and saved you at all costs. I hid with you in the cold river for hours. Eventually, fishermen found us by the shore. I passed out and was hospitalized.

When I regained consciousness, I had forgotten everything due to a head injury. And Jamie took all the glory for herself."

Jarrod observed Nicole recounting these events with a calm detachment as if they were someone else's experiences.

A sharp, excruciating pain surged in Jarrod's heart, making it hard for him to breathe. If Nicole's story held truth, everything was a meticulously crafted plot set by Jamie. His resentment toward Nicole might have been based on a complete misunderstanding.

At this time, Nicole's previous words echoed in Jarrod's mind.

"Jarrod, you have to believe me..." "Jarrod, I really did come to see you back then..." “Jarrod, didn't you ever suspect that it might all have been orchestrated by Jamie?"

Nicole's cries and pleading for understanding were all around his mind. However, in those days, he had chosen to ignore everything Nicole said.

Seeing the transformation in Jarrod's expression, Nicole felt a deep sense of satisfaction. Her joy was so profound that she couldn't help but smile broadly. “Jarrod, if you're still in doubt, you could investigate the kidnapping case in Swynborough from eight years ago."

"No, no need... I don't have to check anything..." Jarrod struggled to speak. He didn't see the point in delving into it. After all, Jamie had already revealed the truth to him, and he had hoped to remain oblivious for the rest of his life...

Jarrod knew Nicole was telling the truth. It was just that he chose to overlook it, all because he was attempting to delude himself.

Because he lacked the courage to face it head-on!

Now, Nicole had shattered his illusion, leaving him unable to deny the truth anymore. Thus, the darkness and the sinners' wickedness were laid bare. Jarrod could no longer fool himself!

“Jarrod Schultz! Do you really think we're even now? How absurd!"

Nicole taunted. "You think you deserve forgiveness? You belong in helt!"
