"Well, there's something off about him. Our investigation uncovered something shocking," Alec revealed. “It turns out Miguel had hired a witch just to control Roscoe, and it appears Roscoe was put under a spell that caused his erratic behavior."

Jarrod considered the situation. "Have our lawyers handle his marriage to Doreen. It's time to end it."

It was evident that Roscoe had lost his use for the Watts family.

Given Miguel's ruthless disposition, it was crucial to ensure Doreen's safety swiftly.

Alec nodded. "I'll take care of it."

"But..." Alec hesitated. "Doreen's mother came by again, but I told her you weren't in the office, so she left."

"Alright," Jarrod replied, his tone unchanged. He seemed resolute about teaching Doreen a lesson this time.

Alec shared Jarrod's sentiments. Although he harbored a dislike for Nicole, Doreen's reckless behavior was even more troubling. Jarrod had frequently had to intervene on Doreen's behalf. It was an opportune moment to curb Doreen's recklessness.

Jarrod then ordered, “Keep an eye on Miguel. If he moves against Roscoe, ensure Roscoe has an escape route."

"What? What do you mean?" Alec exclaimed in shock. Jarrod had always intended to eliminate Roscoe. Why show mercy now?

"Sir, did you actually eat what that woman cooked for you?" Alec asked, suspecting Jarrod's judgment was impaired. Even if they chose not to eliminate Roscoe, aiding him was unnecessary. The true danger came from Miguel, Roscoe's grandfather, not them.

"Enough talk. Follow my orders." Jarrod dismissed Alec with a wave of his hand.

Muttering under his breath, Alec left the room, frustrated. He still needed to convey Jarrod's instructions and bolster security around the Watts family.

After spending time with Austin, Nicole left the house. She had learned from her friend that the woman who stayed close to Roscoe was a witch, uttering spells to manipulate parasitic insects.

This revelation sent a chill through Nicole. Why was Miguel so harsh with Roscoe? Could it be that Roscoe was not his son?

With these questions swirling in her mind, Nicole parked her car near the Watts' villa and waited in hiding. Hours later, she spotted the witch clad in red leaving the house alone.

Nicole started the car and followed her.

The witch drove her car to a rundown factory. After parking, she scanned the surroundings with caution before proceeding inside.

Nicole, making sure the coast was clear, donned a black baseball cap and exited her vehicle. She moved toward the factory door, glancing around anxiously before quietly entering.

Once inside, Nicole found the room empty. Her heart raced, and suddenly, someone from behind pressed a handkerchief over her mouth and nose. She had little time to react before losing consciousness.
