“Watch your language!" Jarrod snapped. "She's my wife. Stop making baseless accusations."

Despite Jarrod's defense, Alec continued to view Nicole as a witch, albeit a beautiful one.

"Sir, allow me to take a sample of what she gives you and have it tested. If it's clean, I'll kneel and apologize to her." Alec thought this was a reasonable solution. Since Jarrod didn't believe him, they could simply test if any poisonous elements were detected.

“There's no need," Jarrod responded coldly.

“How can you say that?" Before Alec could argue further, Jarrod interrupted him. "Shut up and drive."

With no other options, Alec grumbled as he drove, “Just don't eat anything she gives you. Better safe than sorry."

Jarrod closed his eyes, ignoring Alec's complaints.

Upon arriving at the office, Jarrod inquired, “How's the investigation on Jamie going?"

"We've confirmed that Jamie has a backer with considerable resources who funded her extensive plastic surgery," Alec reported, handing over a file. "It cost a million dollars. They really went all out."

"Did you check the account information?" Jarrod asked.

"yes."

"It leads to a foreign bank account, but we can't trace the owner," Alec responded.

Jarrod frowned, deep in thought.

Alec added, “Jamie is still hospitalized, so it's unlikely that person will show up soon. But it's just a matter of time because..."

Alec paused and then handed Jarrod a hospital report. "This report shows that Jamie's injuries weren't self-inflicted. She claims they were from a suicide attempt, but it seems someone else caused them."

No one can prove otherwise.

Jarrod skimmed through the report. “It seems whoever it was considered Jamie expendable and wanted to get rid of her."

"That's what we're assuming." Alec nodded.

“Keep an eye on it. We need to find out who's behind this," Jarrod commanded. This posed an unseen threat that they couldn't overlook.

Alec nodded and turned to leave, but Jarrod stopped him. “Any updates on Roscoe?" Jarrod asked.
