At that moment, Nicole felt like she had been struck by a barrage of arrows, each revelation a piercing wound.

"You... Did you plan this all along?" Nicole asked, her voice trembling in disbelief.

She had secured all those orders a month ago.

If Jamie's words were true, then Jarrod had been laying a trap from the start and watching her every move. And she, blissfully unaware, had celebrated each successful negotiation!

Jamie sneered, "Looks like you're not as dim-witted as Jarrod made you out to be. You do have some brains. The plan to ruin the Lawrence family began the day he came back. But for him, simply using his power to crush your family wouldn't be fun and satisfying.

So, I suggested a more entertaining game. I let you be the one to unwittingly bring down your own family.

As for why it had to go awry on my birthday, it was his way of proving his resolve. Like he said, you're nothing more than a disposable toy to him. In his eyes, you're completely worthless!"

In a flash, Nicole's eyes reddened with fury and pain.

She believed she was saving the Lawrence Group. But in reality, she was leading them into an even deeper pit.

Little did she know, she had become an executioner who single-handedly brought about the downfall of the Lawrence Group.

Jamie smiled at Nicole's look of despair. As if the bombshell was not enough, she added in a gentle tone, "Oh, I almost forgot. My wedding with Jarrod will still take place as planned. You didn't actually believe that Jarrod's promise of a three-year arrangement with you was sincere, did you? He had already told me about it a long time ago. He was only using you for his amusement, a pastime."

Nicole suddenly felt like she couldn't breathe. She tried to speak, but each breath she drew felt like a poisoned blade slicing through her throat.

The overwhelming sensation filled her senses with the scent of blood surging and rendered Nicole speechless.

Everything... Everything was a set up.

It was all a trap set by them to destroy the Lawrence family!

From beginning to end, she was the clown on their stage, entertaining two devilish demons! Her naivety had cost the Lawrence family dearly.

And now, her father might face imprisonment.

Just the thought of this made Nicole's head throb as if it were being ripped apart.

Jamie laughed mockingly.

"Oh, and considering your father's health, he'll probably die in prison. You better start planning his funeral.
