"So, have you ever considered that Miss Hampton might already be aware that with her and her countermovement… you're aligned Lowe, conspiring"

Nicole mimed a throat-slitting gesture and then mouthed each word deliberately: “Making others doing the dirty work!”

A chill ran down Deniz's spine. The movement Nicole had made with her hand was so vivid. It was as if a blade had grazed her neck.

For the first time, Deniz had realized the depth of Nicole's abilities. Her insight was sharp and she excelled at pinpointing the essentials.

“So, what do you want me to do?” Deniz asked. Her voice carried a hint of respect as she said it to Nicole without him realizing it.

I was totally impressed by her intelligence and couldn't help but admire her.

“Let’s collaborate,” Nicole suggested.

“You should realize that aligning yourself with the Hampton family is not a sustainable strategy. If trouble arises, Lowe will not have your back. In fact, he will be the first to push you aside.”

Deniz agreed. Both Lowe and Vicki, the step-siblings, were known for their cunning and unreliability.

Lowe wanted to take down Vicki, but Vicki had Jarrod as her backup.

With no other option, Lowe had to weaken Vicki by other means, such as exploiting Deniz.

Lowe had ordered Deniz to inform Jarrod and Vicki about Nicole's whereabouts on several occasions. His aim was to sow discord between the couple.

Given Vicki's wary attitude toward Nicole, it was clear that Lowe's tactic was working. Nicole proved to be an effective weapon against both Vicki and Jarrod.

Thinking about this, Deniz lost his reservations and asked, “What do you suggest for our collaboration?”

Nicole replied, “She continues to work with Lowe and gathers incriminating information on him for me.”

Hearing this, Deniz was puzzled. He asked with a hint of suspicion, “If you're after Vicki, why are you gathering dirt on Lowe?”

Nicole's real target was Vicki. However, Vicki was too cautious. Even during their chat at the hospital, Vicki used a device to jam smart devices, blocking any attempt to record her.

In addition, Vicki's phone was protected against recording and her messages self-destructed without leaving a trace.

Plus, Vicki had loyally looked after Jarrod for years without a hint of scandal.

Uncovering Vicki's dirt was difficult, and even if they did, Vicki had ways of slipping through the net.

The way Vicki demeaned Nicole and escaped Deniz demonstrated her ruthless effectiveness. Targeting Vicki was tricky, and any impact seemed minimal.

So the strategy was to focus on Lowe. The Hampton family was rumored to be involved in shady backroom dealings. If Lowe slipped up, was arrested, and the media found out, the Hampton family would fall apart.

If the Hampton family fell apart, Vicki's marriage to Jarrod would become increasingly unlikely. Jarrod, eager to maintain a clean reputation, would choose to protect his image rather than support Vicki if scandals came to light.

In fact, Nicole was determined to prevent Vicki from becoming Austin's stepmother. She couldn't bear the thought of such a malevolent woman influencing Austin.

Eventually, Jarrod's claims about stable emotions between him and Vicki were bound to be disproven. Vicki was hardly the right person to care for a child, and yet Jarrod didn't realize it. Wasn't that a mistake, too?
