Alec sighed silently, knowing Jarrod hadn't heeded his words at all.

As long as Nicole was involved, Jarrod wouldn't take advice from anyone else.

"She left early in the morning," Alec replied, visibly annoyed. “If you hadn't saved her, she would have been at the mercy of those crazy guys, likely being severely beaten and tossed into the crocodile pool. Yet, she didn't even show any gratitude and just took off. It's really too much!"

Years ago, while overseas, Alec had heard about the brutal nature of those perverts reveling in the ruthless tortures they had inflicted on the abducted victims.

That place seemed like a gathering for those gruesome murders or insane individuals whose tactics in tormenting people or any Living soul went beyond imagination. They seemed to glean pleasure from others' suffering, their mercilessness knew no bounds.

The Schultz Group had been staying away from the grey areas, ensuring its permission to operate within Ambrosia. As known to all, Ambrosia valued its strict enforcement against such industries, showing no tolerance for illegal activities.

Thus, those dangerous elements never got the opportunity to cause devastation in Ambrosia.

This time, the police of Ambrosia had only managed to capture some minor accomplices while the real masterminds were still overseas.

That group of perverts would surely seek revenge for their loss, especially since their local base had been destroyed.

By saving Nicole from their clutches, Jarrod had practically provoked them, which Alec deemed not worthwhile.

“Miss Lawrence doesn't know how to show her gratitude at all. Ugh! I'm kind of used to it. No matter how kindly you treat her, she only responds with hostility," Alec commented, complaining. “She's heartless! Mr. Schultz, don't let her fool you anymore!"

Jarrod ignored his speech and asked, “What's the date today?"

Alec was taken aback, not catching on the sudden shift of the gear of their conversation. "Huh?"

"I asked what the date is today!" Jarrod said, showing a hint of impatience.

"It's the 26th," Alec answered.

Hearing this, Jarrod's tone turned cold as he said, "Today is Roscoe's wedding day."

A sudden realization hit Alec. It clicked. No wonder Nicole had left early in the morning. She must have gone to find Roscoe.

Alec couldn't help but feel sorry for Jarrod. Jarrod had endangered his life to rescue Nicole. However, she was off searching for another man the moment she awoke. What a heartless woman!

"Get the car ready." Jarrod tossed aside the blanket and rose from the bed.

Alec was stupefied. Jarrod hadn't recovered yet. How could he just leave?
