Chapter 1260

Chapter 1260:

? ? ? ? ?

Derek remained silent. Alec implied that not taking care of Nicole meant exposing himself completely, with consequences far worse than losing money.

You could even face jail time.

How could Derek accept that? He was just beginning to enjoy a life of wealth. He couldn't just give up money now.

Derek had originally promised Leighton that he would take her with him when everything was settled, but he never intended to keep his promise.

With money in hand, the need to find beautiful companions seemed unnecessary.

Derek had long since grown tired of Leighton and longed for new adventures.

Therefore, for the sake of money, I have resolved that Nicole must die.

After all, it was a fortune he could never amass through ordinary work.

However, Derek hadn't anticipated the complexities. Nicole was more difficult to deal with than I had anticipated. However, the money was too tempting to resist.

Derek hardened his resolve and declared assertively, “I will definitely kill her. Just make sure you send the rest of the money.”

Alec assured: “Money is never an issue for me. Just make sure you do the job right. Any slip-up, and the life you are currently enjoying will vanish.”

"Of course.

“I will,” Derek promised with a nod.

Determination flashed in his eyes at that moment. He was convinced that he could carry out his task.

Nicole hadn't driven far when Derek's silver sedan was almost upon her again.

Gripping the steering wheel tightly, Nicole slammed on the accelerator, but was unable to avoid Derek.

Derek's chasing car seemed desperate to catch Nicole, clearly intent on a deadly showdown.

Nicole realized that Derek wanted to kill her. She hadn't expected it. Based on his investigation, despite Derek's reputation among his colleagues for cutting corners for personal gain, he wasn't known for committing serious crimes, nor did he seem to have the courage to do so.

He thought that although his actions might have threatened his interests, the idea that he would resort to murder seemed too extreme.

This relentless pursuit probably came from someone else's orders.

Could it be that Jarrod could no longer contain himself and had decided to act drastically against her?

Suddenly, Nicole's phone range. It was Raegan on the line.

Nicole tried to ignore the call, but in her agitated state, she ended up answering it.

Raegan's anxious voice cuts through her. “Nicole, why didn’t you tell me that that bastard Jarrod is fighting you for custody of Austin?”

Earlier that day, Raegan had visited Rhett on a personal matter and had accidentally discovered documents related to Jarrod's lawsuit. Rhett failed to stop her in time.
