"That's right! Nicole, you are responsible for this situation! You have to deal with this crisis. If you hadn't insisted on doing it your way, the Lawrence Group wouldn't have collapsed.”

These words ignited the anger in everyone's hearts.

Some of them rushed to Nicole and grabbed her hair. The others pulled her clothes and trampled her like a stray dog.

Nicole's mother rolled her eyes. She was so angry that she fainted.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction where the noise came from.

It turned out that someone threw a phone on Nicole's head.

The heavy metal casing caused a bad gash on Nicole's forehead.

In an instant, blood oozed out and dripped down her face, covering her eyes.

"You all stop it!" A deep voice suddenly sounded at the door. Then, everyone felt an intimidating aura.

The clamorous crowd instantly quieted down. They all froze in place.

Nicole's eyes were covered with blood. But despite the hazy redness in her sight, she still saw the figure of a man in the distance, approaching her with a walking stick. He emanated an aura of fierce determination.

But the silence in the ward didn't last long. Soon, the crowd came back to their senses.

When they saw Jarrod come in with the help of a walking stick, they didn't feel even the slightest sense of threat.

Suddenly, a middle-aged wretched man stepped forward, looked at the disheveled yet stunning Nicole, reached out, and grabbed her hair violently.

He sneered coldly, "Nicole, if you don't have money to pay us, why don't you sell yourself? You are undoubtedly beautiful. Many men will definitely want to sleep with you. You can serve several of them in one night. Then, you should be able to pay your parents' debts and..."

Before the wretched man could finish his words, a dark silver light directly hit his face.

Then, there was a loud thud.

It was followed by a muffled voice.

It turned out that the base of Jarrod's walking stick hit the man's face. It was so hard that it created a sharp gust of wind.
