The most reliable method would be for the malicious nanny to confess that Vicki had instructed her.
But convincing the nanny to turn against Vicki seemed daunting.
At present, Nicoleâs priority was to rescue the nanny promptly.
She pushed aside these thoughts for later consideration.
After locating the desired picture, she made a copy of the file and sent it over to Jarrodâs phone.
The response came almost instantly.
âUnderstood.
â
In the next moment, a notification chimed, signaling the arrival of a picture from Jarrod.
It depicted Kamilah lying on an emergency bed.
âSheâs already admitted to the hospital,â read Jarrodâs message accompanying the image.
Nicoleâs anxiety lessened upon seeing the picture.
As long as Kamilah received medical attention, there remained hope for her recovery.
Considering Austinâs delicate health, Nicole decided against taking him to the hospital.
Despite Austinâs eagerness to accompany Nicole, he reluctantly agreed to stay at the villa.
Jarrod had taken swift action, arranging for enhanced security and a team of trustworthy servants to ensure Austinâs safety at the villa.
With these measures in place, Nicole felt reassured about Leaving her son behind.
Before departing, Nicole imparted a solemn promise to Austin.
âBe brave, Austin.
Mommy will bring Kamilah back.
I promise.
â
âOkay.
Mommy, Iâll wait for you,â Austin replied, his young voice imbued with surprising strength.
Nicole found solace in her sonâs words, feeling a sense of reassurance that belied his tender age.
It was as if Austin had matured in an instant.
As Nicole made her way to the door , she witnessed Vickiâs continued confrontation with the police officers, vehemently refusing to comply with their directives.
In a fit of rage, Vicki seized one officerâs collar and berated him, âWhatâs your badge number? You canât just arrest anyone without a warrant.
Iâm going to report you!â
The police officer who arrived was young and had short hair, which made Nicole assume she was a man.
However, when the officer spoke, her voice was soft and feminine.
She introduced herself with humility, âPolice number 3210921.
We are here to enforce the law and need you to come to the station for questioning.
â
Vicki scoffed.
âWhat about the arrest protocol? Are we just supposed to take someoneâs word as the truth?â
âIf you cooperate with the investigation, wonât everything be resolved?â The young officer reached out to free herself from Vickiâs firm grip on her collar.
To the officerâs surprise, as soon as she made contact, Vicki began to yell, âDonât touch me! Are you using this as an excuse to grope me?â
The officer was visibly frustrated.
They had dealt with difficult individuals daily and werenât in customer service.
There was no need to be overly polite with an uncooperative suspect.
She responded sharply, âMadam, please act responsibly.
We all wear body cameras, and I am a woman, too.
Youâve been holding my collar, and I simply wanted to free your grip to escort you away.
â
The officerâs words and tone infuriated Vicki.
She was well-known as Miss Hampton in Ardlens, where everyone addressed her with respect.
