It was a substantial amount of money.
The expression on Jamieâs face softened a little.
She realized that although she hated Nicole to the core, she couldnât immediately kill her.
Suddenly, Jamie thought of something.
She pouted and said, âBut Jarrod, why did you send someone to investigate my brother? Donât you know you are making me lose face in this situation?â
Jarrod didnât say anything about it.
He just frowned.
Jamie leaned on him, shook his arm, and said coquettishly, âDonât let Alec make trouble for my brother, okay?â
âAlec is not making trouble,â Jarrod said with a smile.
But his smile did not reach his eyes.
âJamie, since he is your brother, I respect him.
But it doesnât mean I can let him interfere in my affairs at will.
Do you understand?â
His smile sent a chill down Jamieâs spine.
She had known him for three years, but she had never seen him smile like this.
It was said that the one Jarrod was smiled at was usually the one he was about to be dealt with.
At this moment, a nurse suddenly came out and asked, âAre you a family member of the patient in Bed 2? She is awake.
â
Jarrodâs heart tightened for a moment.
He casually shook off Jamieâs hand and said, âGo back and rest.
Donât make a scene here.
â
After saying this, Jarrod turned around, walked to the ward, and closed the door behind him.
Jamie looked at the closed door with viciousness in her eyes.
It was as if some venomous snakes were about to crawl out of her eyes, enter the ward, and tear Nicole apart.
At this moment, her phone rang.
It brought her back to her senses.
Jamie took it out, looked at the screen, and saw Howeâs name flashing.
Howe had been constantly bothering Jamie.
Now that he was calling, she had no choice but to pick it up.
She impatiently said, âHowe, whatâs wrong with you this time?â
âJamie, that Alec took those two women away!â Howe replied anxiously.
âWhat if they fail to stick to the scheme and expose me? What should I do? I only did what you said, sending someone to deal with that chick.
â
But Jamie seemed not bothered at all.
She said casually, âHowe, calm down.
You have nothing to worry about.
So what if Jarrod finds out? After all these years, do you still not know how he treats me?â
She comforted him, âYou are my brother.
How can I let something happen to you? Donât worry.
I am here.
He wonât do anything to you.
â
Howe was relieved to hear Jamieâs words.
He chuckled and said, âThat chick is really lucky.
But itâs a pity if she dies.
â
Howe couldnât help clicking his tongue when he recalled Nicoleâs curvaceous figure.
He thought she was a seductive bitch.
He wanted to have a taste of her.
Of course, Jamie knew Howe very well.
She could tell what his words implied.
