< Chapter 454 Chapter 454 Menu âLauryn knew, she made you call the police to make Nikolas kill me, you were used by her, do you know that?â Mariela was burning with anger, glaring hatefully at Jaime.
Jaimeâs eyes were full of confusion, realizing he had almost caused Marielaâs death. His face turned pale, and the pain in his eyes deepened.
âIâm sorry, Mariela, I didnât know things were like this. If I had known, I definitely wouldnât have chosen to call the police...â
âEnough!â Mariela sharply interrupted him, âJaime, tell me the truth, was calling the police really unrelated to Lauryn?â Jaimeâs lips were tightly pursed, his hands hanging by his sides, clenched into fists.
Facing Marielaâs questioning, he almost couldnât help but tell the truth, but....
Although Bruce had been caught, the nominal controlling shareholders of the Herman Group were not affected.
The Herman Group was now Nikolasâs toy, although Nikolas had returned to Italy, with just one word from him, the Herman Group could be on the verge of bankruptcy again.
The Herman Group, although its name hasnât changed, has actually long been under Russo.
Jaime weighed the pros and cons in his heart.
After all, the company was his fatherâs lifelong work. It was better to have it than not.
He still couldnât expose Lauryn now.
âIt has nothing to do with her,â Jaime spoke, his voice slightly hoarse.
Mariela just looked at him quietly.
A few seconds later, she chuckled lightly, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Juliette, who had been listening nearby, went to pull Jaime again, âJaime, are you okay, Iâll go buy a medical ice pack for you to apply.â
Jaime ignored Juliette, he roughly pushed the woman away, his brows full of impatience, âGo away!â
He turned around angrily, took out his phone, and started making a call.
He wanted to find out whether Lauryn knew about Nikolas telling Lennon that calling the police would result in the hostage being killed.
If she knew, then she made him call the police, she was using him!
Using him to indirectly kill the woman he loved most.
If thatâs really the case, he would never tolerate it.
