Next, she had to wait for Kamilah's condition to stabilize before formulating any plans. Kamilah had been caring for Austin for years.

Nicole could not abandon Kamilah under any circumstances. Nicole felt the need to ensure that Kamilah received the proper treatment. Experts suggested that with proper care, there was hope for Kamilah to recover up to 70%.

Compared to foreign doctors, Nicole had more confidence in the competence of local doctors. During her time abroad, she had witnessed numerous cases of misdiagnoses or patients' conditions worsening due to over-medication.

So Nicole had no intention of leaving in the short term. She needed to take care of Kamilah while also getting Austin to see a local doctor to find an effective way to maintain her well-being. Plus, she had to take Vicki's situation into account.

Nicole checked her phone and found no news on the Internet about Vicki's arrest. The Hampton family must have been quick to keep the incident quiet.

They tried to diminish public interest and evade responsibility. Nicole, mocking, decided to bid her time. She intended to observe how the Hampton family handled the matter before striking decisively at the opportune moment.

She anticipated that Vicki's arrest would be brief. The nanny's reluctance to confess indicated that Vicki had secured herself a reliable escapegoat. With enough financial incentive, the nanny would keep quiet. Nicole had asked a friend to help her investigate the nanny's background, but had yet to receive any information. All she could do was wait patiently.

At the same time, in the office of the President of the Schultz Group:

Jarrod arrived at the company at 10am. This was unusual. Normally, unless he was traveling on business, Jarrod would be in the office by 7:50.

Compared to the other employees, he was always the first to arrive. The company's hours were from 9:00 to 17:00, but he often worked from 8:00 to 22:00 or even later. Therefore, Jarrod's late arrival today, coupled with his cheerful demeanor, caught the attention of the employees.

"What's wrong with the boss? Looks like there's good news."

"Mr. Schultz isn't about to get married, is he? He must involve Miss Hampton."

"Mr. Schultz and Ms. Hampton's relationship has always been stable. When she visited us, he was never so happy. Why does he seem so elated today? I doubt he is related to Ms. Hampton."

"So who does it have to do with?"

Their conversation was abruptly halted by the intrusion of a cold voice. “It seems like everyone has some free time.”

The employees turned to find Alec looming behind them. “Alec…”

Alec's expression was frozen. “If idle chatter about the resident is how you spend your work hours, expect a deduction from your perfect attendance for a month.”
