Vickiâs lips turned purple.
She didnât want to hear any more words from Deniz, so she mumbled, âStop.
I⦠I choose to trust Jarrod.
I trust him⦠You are just here to stir up trouble.
â
But Deniz remained unfazed.
He looked at Vickie with narrowed eyes and said slyly, âMiss Hampton, have you ever considered that maybe Mr.
Schultz doesnât touch those women because he doesnât like them?â
His words were a wake-up call for Vicki.
Indeed, Jarrod had never been involved with other women.
He ignored even those who threw themselves at him.
Vicki always thought Jarrod remained virtuous because he was committed to her.
Never did she think that his lack of interest in those women might be because he didnât like them.
And the person he truly liked was Nicoleâ¦
Vicki didnât dare to think about it.
She stared at Deniz with fierce eyes.
âI agree to your terms.
I will give you the projects if you tell me where Jarrod is.
â
âDeal.
Thank you, Miss Hampton,â Deniz replied.
Deniz gave the address to Vicki.
Then, he watched her car speed off like a rocket, leaving a cloud of smoke and dust.
He was extremely pleased with himself because he won big in this negotiation.
Although Lowe was physically drained, he still kept a few tricks up his sleeve.
It was Loweâs idea that Deniz approached Vicki to negotiate terms after informing Jarrod of Nicoleâs whereabouts.
Sure enough, Deniz got what he wanted.
Victory was his.
Deniz believed that Vickiâs agreement was more reliable than Loweâs.
After all, Jarrod might not respect Lowe, but he would have to respect his fiancée.
Deniz spat on the ground disgustedly and muttered, âWhat a mess.
This time, Iâm going to settle everything once and for all.
I will let you taste the sufferings Iâve endured.
â
Jarrod parked the car at the airportâs parking lot and directly arranged a chartered flight.
He had no idea that Vicki followed him to the airport to stop him from leaving.
At this moment, Jarrod was waiting inside the VIP boarding lounge.
When he was about to board, Vickiâs soft voice sounded behind him.
âJarrodâ¦â
Jarrod stopped and turned around.
His brows unconsciously furrowed.
He looked at her and asked coldly, âWhat are you doing here?â
Instead of answering his question, Vicki asked, âWhere are you going?â
Jarrod paused for a few seconds and asked, âAre you sure you want to hear the truth from me directly?â
Vicki felt like her heart sank.
âJarrod, you promised you wouldnât lie to me.
â
Jarrod replied calmly, âI havenât lied to you.
Iâll tell you everything you want to know.
â
Jarrodâs demeanor suggested he meant his words.
But when Vicki was about to open her mouth, she choked up.
She was overwhelmed by fear.
What if their relationship would be over if she asked?
