Chapter 301

? ? ? ? ?

He always dreamed of Nicole covered in blood. His two eyes, devoid of pupils, were like two bloody holes that looked at him intensely.

«Jarrod, I'm dead now. Are you happy?

These words caused a sharp pain in his heart, waking him up.

His temples throbbed intensely and his head hurt badly.

His previous words: "I will never be your lover, even if I die," echoed in his ears again and again.

Eventually, Jarrod succumbed to his feelings for Nicole. He made a decision.

He called off the wedding without telling Jamie.

Before the guests arrived at the venue, she asked Alec to contact them and inform them that the wedding would not take place.

Jamie's mind went blank for a moment. He gripped Jarrod's sleeve tightly, staring at him with wide eyes of disbelief.

When he came to, he said, “Jarrod, are you kidding me? Everything is prepared. The guests may already be on their way.

How can you say there is no wedding? How can we not get married?

«Jamie, I'm sorry. “I’ll make it up to you,” Jarrod said apologetically.

Jamie shook her head frantically. Tears ran down her face uncontrollably, smearing her makeup. His appearance was even more pitiful.

"No! Jarrod, you can't do this to me. I don't need your compensation.

I only need you. I want nothing more than to marry you. I don't want anything else in this world. Only you. "I want to be your girlfriend, your wife."

Jarrod's eyes filled with guilt. But still he said unwaveringly: “Jamie, I can give you anything you want except marriage.”

This time, Jamie lost control of her emotions. He shouted: “No! I don't want it. I want nothing more than you. "I want to marry you."

Jamie gripped Jarrod's sleeve tightly. His tears fell onto his suit.

She looked at him pitifully and pleaded, “Jarrod, you can't abandon me. You promised you would never abandon me. Jarrod, marry me. Please…

I promise I won't be so stubborn in the future. I will be an obedient wife. I will do everything you say.

Jamie was so heartbroken that she cried hysterically.

He didn't want any compensation. If she married Jarrod, she would have everything.

A simple compensation was nothing. She wanted it all! I wanted it all!

Thinking of this, Jamie cried even harder. It was as if his heart was breaking into pieces. When Jarrod saw this, his expression softened.

Jamie didn't care if her makeup was ruined. His appearance didn't matter now. There was only one thing on his mind. Jarrod had to stay and marry her no matter what.

At that moment, the door opened again, and Alec entered.

When Alec saw the scene inside the room, he turned around and was going to leave. However, Jarrod stopped him. "Give me the phone,"

Jarrod ordered.

Jarrod drank a lot. He was so drunk that he didn't even notice that he had dropped his phone and broken it.

There had been many calls in the morning, but the screen could not display them. So he decided to turn it off.

Alec handed the new phone to Jarrod with both hands.

Jarrod checked the call history and saw many missed calls from different numbers. Some were saved on his phone, and some were not.

Suddenly, a voice message appeared.

His eyes widened when he saw it was Nicole's.

He turned to Jamie and said, "I have to make a call."

Jarrod shook off Jamie's hand and walked to the side. He pressed the voicemail and listened to it. The message was full of crackling noises.

Instantly, a bad feeling arose in his heart, making him feel uneasy.

Then, Nicole's sad and desperate voice sounded: "Jarrod, please save my father..."

Jarrod's mind went blank.

He felt as if his nightmares had become reality.

His heart hurt a lot. It was as if an invisible hand was tearing him apart mercilessly.

Jarrod called Nicole again immediately. However, no one answered. His anxiety increased.

Striding out, Jarrod ordered, "Alec, get the car ready!"

Panicking, Jamie ran after him. «Jarrod, what about our wedding...?»

When Jarrod left, Jamie found herself engulfed in the car's exhaust pipe.

Jamie was left helpless, watching as he left her alone at her wedding.

His eyes brimmed with bitterness and rage. Jarrod was gone because of Nicole. That bitch made Jarrod run away on his wedding day. He must have been crazy!

Jamie couldn't accept it. The thought that Nicole had managed to take Jarrod away from her again was unbearable. Damn Nicole!

Furious, Jamie vowed to settle scores with Nicole.

Jamie called the hotel concierge, lifted her robe, and said determinedly, "Follow that car."

In the car, Jarrod was sitting, engrossed in a live stream on his phone. His lips were a tight line, his demeanor chilling.

Crack! Suddenly, the rain began to fall heavily.

The heavy downpour cast a dark shadow over the city.

Despite the poor signal and background noise, Jarrod could hear panicked voices.

"My God! "Someone is about to jump off that building."

«Why would he want to commit suicide by jumping off the Lawrence Group building? Could he be an employee in a dispute with the Lawrence Group?

«I heard he is the CEO of the Lawrence Group. The reason for his decision to jump is unclear. The police were here for him earlier, probably to arrest him. Maybe the pressure was too much for him…”

The crowd was abuzz with speculation.

Hearing them, Jarrod's eyes reddened with growing anger.

"Alec, investigate the matter with Nicole's father," Jarrod ordered.

"Understood," Alec replied.
