Chapter 1428:

? ? ? ? ?

Upon arriving at the villa, Jarrod stayed in the car, preoccupied with business matters.

Eager to reunite with Austin and Kamilah, Nicole exited the vehicle first.

Arriving at the entrance, Nicole met Vicki, who had been waiting for Jarrod.

When Vicki saw Nicole, her surprise was unmistakable. “What are you doing here?”

Vicki vividly remembered Lowe's adamant promises to torture Nicole, which left her perplexed as to why Nicole appeared unharmed.

Vicki was still unaware of the details as Lowe had not yet woken up.

Although Nicole was disguised with a hat and mask, the visible bruises on her suggested she had hardened an order, which gave Vicki a fleeting sense of grim satisfaction.

Nicole, unfazed by Vicki's obvious shock, coldly ignored her, showing no interest in interacting with her.

Wanting to avoid Vicki, Nicole took a step forward, but Vicki reacted quickly, grabbing Nicole's arm firmly. “Stop right there. What do you think you’re doing?”

This confrontation occurred just after Vicki arrived to find that her key card wasn't working. She was about to call Jarrod when she ran into Nicole.

At that point, Vicki returned to her usual imperious attitude, behaving as if she owned the place.

“I’m going in to see Austin,” Nicole declared. Her brow furrowed and she pushed Vicki's hand away.

"Who let you see Austin?" Vicki's face turned steely.

She couldn't understand how Nicole had the nerve to just walk into Jarrod's house as if she had been granted entry.

“You said that if I agreed to your demands last night, I could visit my son,” Nicole stated bluntly.

Vicki scoffed in disbelief. “Did I really say that?”

Nicole said, “Yes, you did. “You said that if I let you put me down, I would be allowed to see Austin.”

Vicki covered her mouth to suppress a giggle. “Are you crazy? What made you think that was true?”

Nicole's gaze sharpened. "Am I crazy? Don't you remember what you said?"

Vicki's reaction was just as Nicole had expected.

Nicole realized that Vicki had never planned to let her see Austin. It was all a ruse to degrade her.

Nicole was baffled by Vicki's eagerness to torment her, while she didn't see herself as a threat and wanted nothing to do with Jarrod.

Vicki, however, seemed to take pleasure in Nicole's misery, as if malevolence were ingrained in her very essence.

“Do you really want to see Austin that badly?” Vicki asked, already scheming.

Nicole remained silent, wary of Vicki's next words.
