Indeed, Alec found out that the person behind that incident at the detention center was Howe.
However, due to his forthcoming wedding with Jamie, Jarrod planned to deal with Howe after the ceremony.
Of course, Jarrod wouldnât let go of Howe just like that.
But he couldnât have Howe arrested right now.
It wasnât the right time yet.
He didnât want Jamie to lose face.
So, everything had to wait until their wedding was finished.
After thinking for a while, Jarrod explained, âI never said I would let him go.
But itâs not yet the time to deal with him.
He canât go to jail at this moment, no matter what.
Itâs not the right time yet.
â
Nicoleâs heart was overwhelmed by despair.
And she was angry that Jarrod was always distressed by Jamieâs tears.
This only meant she had to swallow her pride.
And she was also forced to let Howe go.
She had no other choice.
Nicole felt she was treated inhumanely, and her hatred against Jarrod, Howe, and Jamie intensified.
But before she could make any move, she had to think of her fatherâs operation.
She needed Jarrodâs assistance for her father to have a successful operation, so she had to swallow all the pain, no matter how much it hurt.
After all these thoughts, Nicole said calmly, âI know what to say when dealing with the police.
But you have to help me with something.
â
âWhat is it?â Jarrod asked.
âHowe took a video of him hitting me.
You must destroy it!â Nicole answered.
Initially, she wanted that video so she could use it as evidence in the future.
But she knew Jarrod wouldnât give it to her voluntarily, so sheâd better destroy it.
Otherwise, it would only remind her of Howe.
Every time she thought of Howe, she felt so disgusted that she wanted to throw up.
âSure, no problem,â Jarrod agreed without hesitation.
He leaned over and untied the rope on her wrists.
Nicole relaxed for a moment.
Then, Jarrod reached out to take off Nicoleâs bloody shirt.
âHey, what are you doing?â Nicole snapped, covering her chest and looking vigilant.
âWhat do you think?â Jarrod sneered.
âHow do you plan to explain to the police if they see you dressed like this?â
After saying this, he threw his shirt at Nicole.
She picked it up and put it on reluctantly.
The wounds on her body and face were burning.
While she was buttoning it up, she felt his gaze fixed on her.
She felt so uncomfortable that she hurriedly turned around.
When she was all set, Jarrod had changed into a black shirt, throwing his bloody shirt away.
The knife Nicole used was so small that it didnât harm any of Jarrodâs organs.
He only got shallow cuts on his skin.
Jarrod looked at Nicole and smiled mischievously.
âWhy are you still shy?
Havenât I seen every inch of you?â
