Howe shouted back, âNo way weâre letting her go.
She just called the police.
We canât let her get out of here!â
âRelease me! Let me go!â Nicole kept fighting back.
One thing filled her mind.
She had to get away from these two.
It was the only way sheâd be safe.
Jarrod held her hands tightly behind her, his icy stare fixed on her.
âDid you call the police?â
A hint of ruthlessness flashed through Jarrodâs sharp eyes.
Nicole held her breath for a moment.
She had no strength to answer Jarrod.
All she wanted now was to run away.
Howe winced in pain, and his body trembled.
He said in a panic, âJarrod, stop that bitch and get her in the car.
We have to go.
Otherwise, we will be in trouble if the cops arrive.
â
Jarrodâs scrutinizing eyes that had been fixed on Nicoleâs tattered clothes shifted to Howeâs bloody leg.
His fleek eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Without saying a word, Jarrod picked Nicole up effortlessly and ordered his men casually, âClean up this place.
Donât leave any trace.
â
Nicole felt like her world crumbled.
She was so consumed by despair that her body shook uncontrollably.
She knew what Jarrodâs words meant.
They wanted to sweep the truth under the rug.
In that case, all the humiliation she had suffered would be in vain.
Judging from Howeâs words, it was very obvious that this was not his first time hurting someone.
Who knew how many women had suffered in this place?
At the thought of this, rage suddenly surged in Nicoleâs heart.
Nicole leaned over and bit Jarrodâs chin hard.
She was filled with fierce determination.
Jarrod hissed in pain.
He reached out, trying to pull her away.
Nicole seized this opportunity.
She raised her leg and kneed his crotch hard.
âShit!â Jarrodâs face contorted in pain.
He was forced to let her go.
Nicole immediately took out a small knife from his pocket, held it tightly, and charged at Howe.
She roared, âI will kill you!â
Howe was so startled that he stammered, âOh⦠Youâ¦â
