He was at a loss for words because he couldn't explain his actions just now.

His instinctual reaction was to protect Nicole. It was just that he didn't expect Nicole to slap Jamie.

His cold eyes turned dark. He looked at the bodyguard and ordered firmly, "Drag her into the car."

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard shoved Nicole into the car forcefully.

Jamie protested, "Jarrod, what are you doing? She stabbed you and Howe. And now, she slapped me. How can you just let her go? She can't leave. I must deal with her."

Jamie felt wronged, thinking Jarrod was being unfair.

Jarrod seemed to realize it. He coaxed her in a soft voice, "Okay, stop crying now. Let me handle this, okay? Go to the car and apply medicine on your face."

Jamie knew that the situation was a bit complicated. She had heard that Nicole had called the police. However, her wedding with Jarrod was just around the corner. She knew Jarrod would never let Howe get into trouble.

So, Jamie covered her face and said resentfully, "Jarrod, you can't let her go just like that." Jarrod gently comforted Jamie, patting her head as he guided her toward the car.

Then, he got in the car where Nicole was. His handsome face darkened.

The bodyguard tied Nicole to the base of the car seat. As soon as Nicole saw Jarrod get in, she glared at him fiercely as if she wanted to swallow him alive.

Jarrod nonchalantly settled himself across from Nicole. He didn't seem to care about her reaction. He just observed her lazily. After a while, he said, "You know what to say in front of the police, right?"

Nicole met his eyes and said in a voice dripping with fury, "Don't even think about it. The police will be here in a few minutes. I'11 hold on until the very end to make sure this monster ends up in jail."

"Really? Do you think you have a choice?"

Jarrod remained composed. He was unfazed by her words. A wicked charm seemed to dance around him, accentuated by the blood stains on his chest.

Nicole suddenly asked, "Jarrod, have you forgotten what you said at the hospital?"

Jarrod's brows furrowed tightly.

Upon seeing his reaction, Nicole reminded him, “You promised that if you found out who was behind the torture I received in the detention center, you would set things straight for me. That person is Howe."

Moments earlier, Howe was so excited that he spilled the beans. It directly came from his mouth that Nicole was lucky those two women in the detention center didn't kill her. Otherwise, he couldn't have tortured her today.

Nicole asked Howe if he had something to do with those two women. And he admitted it without hesitation.

Howe thought it was not a problem even if he confessed to Nicole. After all, Jarrod would undoubtedly cover for him. What could she do?

Nicole turned to look at Jarrod. And when she saw his unsurprised expression, she sneered, "So, you already knew it was him. How ridiculous!"
