amie was stunned for a while.
Did Jarrod really hear everything?
Jamie felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, making her shiver uncontrollably.
âJarrod, let me explain.
Itâs not⦠Itâs not what you think it is.
Itâs Nicole! Itâs all her fault! She forced me to say those words.
â
As she spoke, Jamie burst into tears.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
The salty tears flowed to her wounds, and she winced in pain.
Her ugly face looked even more miserable.
However, Jarrod could no longer feel pity or sympathy for Jamie in his heart.
With an indifferent expression, he said in a cold and distant voice, âJamie, I told you many times not to challenge my bottom line.
â
Jamie had schemed against the baby in Nicoleâs belly.
That baby was his own flesh and blood.
How dare she murder his child!
At the thought of the loss of his baby, Jarrod felt like strangling Jamie to death.
But he was so disgusted with her that he didnât want to touch her.
He despised her from the bottom of his heart.
âJarrod, believe me.
Nicole really wanted to kill me just now.
I only said those words to save myself.
Those things have nothing to do with me.
Really⦠Itâs Howe⦠He did it all by himself.
I have nothing to do with it.
â
At this moment, Jamie no longer cared about Howe.
All that mattered to her now was to save herself.
Jamie could even take advantage of anyone, including her family, just to save herself.
âNow that things have reached this point, you still want to lie to me?â
Jarrod realized Jamie couldnât see because the blood had blocked her vision.
But he still said to her, âYou used an excuse to distract Alec.
Then, you stole the contract from my safe and gave it to someone, right?â
âI⦠No, Iâ¦â Jamie didnât have the strength to lie anymore because of the pain.
Her whole body ached, yet she still couldnât receive any medical treatment.
Impatient, she snapped, âI just hate Nicole for taking you away from me.
Iâm your fiancée.
Shouldnât I defend my engagement with you?â
After saying this, Jamie crawled on the floor and touched Jarrodâs cold leather shoes.
She held them tightly and cried, âJarrod, I only did those things because I love you so much.
â
Upon hearing this, Jarrod stepped on the back of Jamieâs hands and crushed them hard mercilessly.
Suddenly, Jamieâs miserable howls filled the mourning hall.
But Jarrod didnât feel even the slightest bit of pity.
He said word by word ruthlessly, âJamie, you know very well that I hate deception the most.
You lied to me and even took advantage of the situation to kill my innocent child.
Worse still, you knew that baby was mine!â
He had thought Jamie was arrogant but kind-hearted.
He didnât mind tolerating her temper.
But he never thought she could do those evil things.
He failed to see Jamieâs true colors all along, being deceived by her and even indulging her wrongdoings unintentionally.
Actually, Jarrod had only indulged Jamie because she reminded him of Nicole in some way.
He now realized he was wrong.
Nicoleâs arrogance was coupled with confidence, stemming from her parentsâ love for her and her wealthy family background.
Nicole was somewhat willful, but she never bullied anyone.
She was straightforward, but she was actually a warm-hearted person.
Jamieâs arrogance, on the contrary, was mixed with viciousness, selfishness, and schemes.
