Chapter: 2890
Austin took off the whistle that hung around his neck and held it up for everyone to see. "This is a whistle that can also take pictures. I took pictures of the nanny putting something in my soy milk. I also took pictures of the small bottle she threw away afterward. There's a name of some kind of clinic on it. Oh, and I also took pictures of the nanny and Vicki alone in a small room."
This whistle had been a birthday present from Roscoe. Austin really liked the gift and had always worn it around his neck.
Even Nicole didn't know that it doubled as a camera, let alone the others.
Who would've thought that Austin, a mere child, was clever enough to snap photos of the nanny spiking his milk?
Austin had always been so quiet and obedient that everyone just assumed he was a harmless kid. But it turned out he was quite cunning and intelligent. He knew that resisting would only piss Jarrod off, and that the more he misbehaved, the less likely Jarrod would trust him. It was better to obey and pretend to be timid, waiting patiently for the right moment to strike. And now, that moment had come.
The nanny was utterly dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Austin would expose her like this. It turned out he had documented all her movements. Damn it! She had really underestimated this child.
The nanny opened her mouth, but no words came out. Too scared to speak, she stopped threatening to bang her head against the wall to prove her innocence.
Jarrod saw right through the nanny's dazed expression and angrily kicked her without warning. “How dare you hurt my son!" he roared at the top of his lungs. "You really want your family to suffer, don't you?"
"Show some mercy, Mr. Schultz! It's all a misunderstanding!" The nanny was truly scared out of her wits now. "It... It wasn't poison...
It was... I didn't do it! I swear I didn't..
Jarrod didn't even spare the nanny another glance. He barked at the bodyguards, “Get this bitch out of my sight and interrogate her someplace else. I don't care what you have to do. Just find out who hired her to hurt my son!"
The bodyguards immediately dragged the crying nanny away, kicking and screaming.
The moment the nanny's pained cries faded away, Jarrod's cold gaze landed on Vicki's pale face.
When their eyes met, Vicki visibly stiffened. Her face, which was usually calm, was wrought with panic. "No, Jarrod, you've got it all wrong. I didn't poison anyone. It was him. He's lying! He's slandering me! This woman must've instigated him. It's her! She's the one who..."
"Slap!" A crisp sound echoed through the air.
The next moment, blood trickled from the corner of Vicki's mouth.
Vicki looked at her attacker in disbelief. It was none other than Nicole. "Crazy bitch! How dare you hit me..."
Feeling extremely aggrieved, Vicki turned to Jarrod for help. She tearfully sobbed. “Jarrod, are you seriously going to let this woman insult me like this?"
Before Jarrod could respond, Nicole butted in harshly. “Are you kidding me? I didn't hit you hard enough! You not only poisoned Austin's nanny, but you even wanted to poison such a weak and frail child. Have you no shame? Vicki, I swear to God I won't let you get this away with this!"
Nicole's eyes turned as sharp and vicious as a hawk's as she warned Vicki.
