Chapter 1358:

? ? ? ? ?

The night before, Jarrod had received a phone call that had radically changed his expression, after which he had instructed Alec to locate Nicole.

Alec later discovered that the call had come from Jemma. He couldn't understand why Jemma would call Jarrod instead of contacting Nicole's family or the police after discovering Nicole was missing. That call had nearly cost Jarrod his life.

Alec planned to investigate Jemma further when they got back, as he suspected there was something off about her. His instincts told him that Jemma was no ordinary person.

When Alec learned of Nicole's last known location, he realized he had stumbled upon a dangerous group that was not to be trifled with.

Despite Alec's objections, Jarrod was determined to find Nicole.

He had spent a whole day and night searching, ignoring Alec's calls for him to rest.

Later, upon learning that Nicole might be at that base, Jarrod left without waiting for Alec.

By the time Alec caught up to Jarrod, he was already in an ambulance.

Alec had no idea what had happened earlier.

In Jarrod's living room there was a large bouquet of flowers, the kind a girl might usually send.

Jarrod's expression darkened and he was about to speak when the door was flung open.

"Hello." A sweet-looking girl approached.

Jarrod didn't recognize her.

Seeing Jarrod's face, the girl was momentarily captivated. She walked over and said, "Sir, thank you for rescuing me and the other girls from the truck."

She put down the basket of fruit she was carrying. Jarrod remained silent and she was reluctant to leave. She never expected her savior to be so handsome.

To her, Jarrod had a commanding presence, even with the bandages around his head. He looked like Prince Charming from the fairy tales she had read.

Jarrod's eyes were piercing, his features striking. It was rare for lower-class girls to meet someone like him.

"Sir, may I peel an apple for you?" the girl offered.

As he reached for the apple, a stern voice intervened. “No need. Please go away.” Jarrod's tone was cold and distant.

The girl, surprised, felt embarrassed as she picked up the apple.

Tears filled her eyes and she said, “Sir, I just wanted to express my gratitude.”

Jarrod replied coldly, “No need to thank me. “I didn’t mean to save you then.”

The girl was stunned. If Jarrod hadn't intended to save them, why had he stood up to those ruthless human traffickers? His actions had practically put his own life in danger.

At Jarrod's response, Alec was speechless.

Back at the scene, photos were taken from the ambulance and the media soon learned of Jarrod's contribution to saving the kidnapped girls.

They glorified the event, touting Jarrod's accomplishments in saving tons of kidnapped girls.
