"Sounds fantastic to me." Nicole beamed.

Not far away, watching Raegan and Nicole stride away happily, Luis complimented deliberately, "Well, I must say, Raegan has become my idol. Who knew she had such a knack for dealing with those troublemakers!"

Luis playfully nudged Mitchel on the shoulder, teasing, "Looks like she doesn't even need your assistance. Do you feel disappointed?"

Mitchel kept silent for a while and then responded casually, "It's reassuring that she can take care of herself."

Luis smiled at him and said, "Come on! I doubt you weren't worried just now."

“Honestly, I wasn't worried at all." Mitchel raised an eyebrow and continued with a doting smile, “I would handle the situation if it went south."

Hearing this, Luis couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. “Look at yourself! You are such a hopeless romantic. I can't help but think that you will help Raegan even when she wants to end someone."

Mitchel shook his head, refuting, "No, that's not it. I would end the target for her." In other words, he would go to great Lengths for Raegan.

Luis was left momentarily speechless. He felt he shouldn't have brought that up in the first place. Otherwise, Mitchel wouldn't have the opportunity to showcase his Love.

Amid their conversation, Luis suddenly remembered Jarrod. "By the way, wasn't Jarrod supposed to join us for the charity party? Where is he?"

At the entrance of the exhibition center, the sun beat down mercilessly. It was the middle of the day of the hottest month of the year. The temperature outside soared, turning the surroundings into an oven.

Seemingly impervious to the scorching heat, Jarrod knelt before a magnificent goddess statue. His back was straight, and his knees were slightly apart.

Three long hours had passed, yet he remained in that unwavering position.

His entire body was drenched in sweat.

The temperature outside was sweltering at that moment.

Despite Alec's attempts to dissuade Jarrod, Jarrod remained adamant about not getting up. He even resisted Alec's offer to hold the umbrella for him and declined to drink water.

Jarrod's stubbornness was his way of self-punishment. He understood that the more he suffered, the more satisfaction Nicole would derive from it.

Although Jarrod knew Nicole might be playing a prank on him, Jarrod insisted on following her instructions. To ensure Nicole's satisfaction and even forgiveness, he approached the task with unwavering dedication.

After a considerable amount of time passed, the scorching sun took a toll on him, inducing severe sunstroke.

His once-handsome face now bore an abnormal shade of red, sweat pouring down like a torrent.
