With Jarrodâs tactics, the Hampton family would undoubtedly suffer severe consequences.
Consequently, Vickiâs and Loweâs protection would crumble, leaving them to face the punishment they deserved.
The video Nicole had released urged other victims harmed by Vicki and Lowe to come forward and expose these siblings for the villains they were.
As Vicki was led away by the police, she passed Jarrod in a state of desperation.
âJarred, is everything that woman said true? Did you know she had the original video? You used the backup to deceive us.
How could you betray me and my family like this?â
She cried hysterically.
âI love you so much⦠I love you so much, yet you treat me like this! Jarrod, do you still have a heart? Everything Iâve done was because I love youâ¦â
Despite Vickiâs cries and shouts, Jarrod remained silent.
His icy gaze, cold as snow, was fixed on the woman not far from him, as if trying to comprehend her.
She stood right in front of him, yet he seemed utterly unable to understand her.
Vickiâs cries of helplessness gradually turned into suppressed sobs, and her despair morphed into unyielding hatred.
âJarrod, I hate you!â she declared, her eyes filled with venom.
âJarrod, youâve ruined me.
I hate you, and Iâll never forgive you.
You will pay for this!â
Jarrod remained silent, his expression devoid of any sympathy for Vicki.
Vicki alternated between crying and laughi ng hysterically.
Regardless of her love or hatred, she could not evoke any emotion in Jarrod.
What had she been thinking, that their years together would move him?
It was futile.
Jarrodâs heart was captive to another, and he had no desire to be freed.
She had been so terribly mistaken.
âJarrod, just you wait,â Vicki murmured a final threat.
If she couldnât have him, then no one would!
Vicki was then led away.
The area around them quieted down.
Jarrod turned to Nicole and asked, âAre you happy?â
Nicole remained silent.
He pressed, âDoes it make you happy to see me suffer?â
Nicole was blunt.
âYou knew from the start, didnât you?â
Her disdain and revulsion for him had never been concealed.
It had all been a mere self-deception on his part.
âLetâs get in the car,â Jarrod said without any reproach, his tone calm.
âIâm here to pick you up.
â
Nicole felt a twinge of surprise.
She was uncertain about Jarrodâs intentions.
At the very least, she expected some form of reprimand or disciplinary action from him.
However, Jarrod seemed so calm.
It was almost as if his only purpose was to pick her up.
Nicoleâs earlier confrontation with Vicki had been a ruse.
She wasnât sure if Jarrod was aware that she possessed the original video.
After all, Jarrod had always been enigmatic.
Nicoleâs aim had been merely to sow discord in Vickiâs heart.
Jarrod opened the car door for Nicole, and she stepped in without a second thought, having arrived in a car belonging to the Schultz family.
The driver was at the front, leaving Jarrod and Nicole in the back.
They were both lost in their own contemplations.
