Chapter 299

? ? ? ? ?

Wesson naively thought he could save Nicole by simply turning off the video.

But Brett didn't turn off the video. Instead, he turned the screen toward Wesson so that he could see the entire scene clearly.

The video continued playing. Aside from Jarrod, the scene where Howe abused Nicole was shown.

Wesson could only watch the video helplessly. Nicole was tortured by those evil men, but he couldn't do anything. I was so heartbroken I could barely breathe.

Nicole was his only daughter. It was the apple of his eye.

His adorable and obedient daughter. How could they be so cruel to her?

How could they treat her like this? They were not human at all.

They were worse than beasts.

“No… No…” Wesson's hoarse voice sounded so weak and desperate.

He couldn't help but blame himself for being a useless and terrible father. He didn't know how to protect his daughter.

But what happened next broke his heart even more.

Brett approached Wesson, squatted down, and said slowly, “Mr. Lawrence, your daughter did all this for the company and for you..."

Wesson recalled the moment when the company began to face the crisis. He was afraid that he would die at any moment, so he forced Nicole to take care of the company's affairs.

He even asked him to do everything possible to protect the Lawrence Group.

His only goal at the time was to hand the company over to Nicole and let her continue running it. He hoped that his company could guarantee him a comfortable and wealthy life in the event of his death. He didn't expect his words to push her into suffering.

Suddenly, Wesson felt a sharp pain in his chest. He lay on the ground, panting. The unbearable pain was visible on his face.

Although Brett could see that Wesson was struggling, he showed no compassion for him. He handed a stack of documents to Wesson expressionlessly and said quietly, "Your daughter has to face bigger problems today, and it's all because of you."

Wesson's eyes bulged at this. He seemed ready to cry. As his hands and feet twitched, he pointed at Brett and intermittently asked, “Who… who… who the hell is behind you?”

Brett lowered his eyes. Actually, I didn't know.

Last night, he received a mysterious call, asking him to go to a certain place to pick up some documents. He was forced to follow instructions as he had caused trouble and been taken advantage of.

"Mr. Lawrence, forget it. “Anyway, my mission is over.”

Sigh. «Honestly, you are old and seriously ill. Why do you have to drag your daughter with you? Why don't you go to hell alone? Then it will all be over, right?

The elevator reached the first floor. The doors opened and Dora came out.

When Nicole saw Dora alone, she immediately approached Dora and asked, “Mom, why are you down here? Where is dad? Will he be okay up there alone?

Dora was about to say something when several men in uniform suddenly walked towards them.

One of them showed an arrest warrant and said loudly, "Excuse me, where is Wesson Lawrence?"

For some reason, Nicole felt panicked. She asked nervously: «Why are you looking for my father? What do they want from him?

The officer explained: "There is a contractual dispute, so we need Mr. Lawrence to come to the station for questioning."

"A contractual dispute?" Nicole took the arrest warrant from the agent.

The contract number was clearly written.

Suddenly his legs gave out so much that he almost fell to the ground.

I couldn't believe it.

That contract was the one he had begged Jarrod to destroy the other day.

What did Jarrod mean by that? He had promised to settle the contract.

The officer asked, "Miss Lawrence, where is your father?"

Nicole panicked and her hands shook uncontrollably. But he clenched his fists tightly to calm himself.

"Can I make a call first?"

The agent nodded. "Clear. Forward".

Nicole squeezed Dora's palm to comfort her and said softly, "Mom, please go up first to check on Dad. Don't worry.

Everything will be fine. Let me take care of this."

Dora did not resist. He turned around and left in a hurry.

Nicole walked to the entrance of the company with the phone in her hand.

Then he dialed Jarrod's number with a trembling hand.

They answered him.

But before I could say anything, they hung up.

Nicole didn't give up. He tried again and again, praying with all his heart.

«Jarrod, answer the phone. Damn you. “Answer now,” Nicole muttered between clenched teeth. She wanted to tell him that she was willing to do whatever he wanted. If he wanted her to get pregnant by him, he would do it. If he wanted me to be his lover, he would no longer resist.

He got rid of all resistance and stubbornness in his heart.

What mattered to him now was that Jarrod let Wesson go.

When Nicole dialed Jarrod's number for the fifth time, all she heard on the other end was a cold voicemail.

“We are sorry, the number you are calling is unattended at this time. Please leave a message after the signal…”

Nicole's mind went blank for a moment. Tears ran down her face and blurred her eyes. He couldn't think of anything, so he could only instinctively beg.

"Jarrod, please... Help my father..."

But before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a noise outside.

Someone screamed in horror: “My God! Someone is going to jump off the building!
