How foolish!

His grasp tightened, his teeth sinking into Nicole's neck viciously.

He laughed at himself silently for falling for Nicole's trick again.

This heartless creature who had betrayed, wounded, and fooled him, now mocked him further!

He resolved he would not let her go lightly this time!

At the very least, she should witness the torments of hell!

Nicole, enduring the fiery torment within her stomach, gritted her teeth in defiance.

“Is that the extent of your prowess, Mr. Schultz?

Resorting to such rude actions with women, huh?"

Jarrod snorted dismissively at her words.

"Rumors had it that you've fallen for a man. Is that so?"

Nicole came back to her senses abruptly and denied it at once, "No, that's not true."

Jarrod's sneer deepened as he probed, “This man, is he Roscoe Watts by any chance?"

Nicole's frame tensed up immediately at the mention of his name.

Jarrod's eyes narrowed, a glint of jealousy betraying his cool demeanor.

He dressed swiftly after concluding his business. Looking down at Nicole, he suggested, "Shall we go see him now?"

Nicole's expression congealed at his words. Striving for composure, she clarified, “Jarrod, Mr. Watts is merely my doctor, nothing more.

Please, don't cause him any distress."

Jarrod's gaze was frosty as he replied, "Mr. Watts? Well, I wouldn't have thought you preferred younger men."

"Stop it, Jarrod! Have you lost your mind?" Nicole burst out.
