While opening the door, she recalled what happened between her and Jarrod last night. She couldn't help wondering what she would do if Jarrod refused to let her leave.

When she went out of her room, she noticed it was eerily quiet outside.

Nicole found it strange. The villa usually started to get busy at this time.

Jarrod took his medicine four times a day, and he must take one now.

She wondered where the maids were. Shouldn't they be busy running around at this time?

Strangely, the villa looked deserted today. Even Alec was nowhere to be seen.

When Nicole arrived downstairs, she overheard two maids talking in the kitchen.

“What happened to Mr. Schultz? I heard noises last night. It seemed he was rushed to the hospital."

"I saw it with my own eyes. Alec found him unconscious in the bathtub. He must have been submerged in the water for a long time because when Alec pulled him out, he was so pale. He looked lifeless.

It was terrifying. Alec performed CPR for half an hour before Mr. Schultz showed signs of consciousness. But he feared Mr. Schultz's brain would be damaged from lack of oxygen, so he rushed Mr. Schultz to the hospital."

Nicole was utterly shocked. So, that was it. Jarrod hadn't been able to get out of the bathtub last night. That explained the silence when she left last night. He must have passed out after her attack.

At this moment, one of the maids said, “You know what? That Miss Lawrence Mr. Schultz brought home seems a jinx. Ever since she arrived, his condition worsened. He only slightly improved for a few days and then got severe again. Now, he even drowned in the bathtub.

Isn't it too strange?"

“Yeah. Poor Mr. Schultz. If Alec hadn't found him, he must have been dead by now."

"Indeed, such bad Luck."

After this, Nicole didn't hear their voices anymore. They must have returned to their work.

Nicole remained frozen, pondering. Jarrod almost died last night. She should be happy, right? But why couldn't she feel any sense of joy in her heart? Instead, the thought of his close encounter with death sent shivers down her spine. This wasn't right. She shouldn't feel this way.

Nicole convinced herself not to feel anything. She wanted nothing but for Jarrod to die miserably. But an accidental death wasn't what she wished for him. After all, a man like Jarrod never feared death.

What Nicole wanted was for Jarrod to suffer in prison for the rest of his life until he realized his mistakes and repented his sins.

For an arrogant person like him, such a life was far worse than death.
