Chapter 314

? ? ? ? ?

Seeing the body, Alec felt his scalp tingle. Honestly, the disfigured face was scarier than Jamie's. Jamie looked a little scary now due to her injuries, but at least she wasn't dead.

Nicole's corpse was severely mutilated and gave off a gloomy aura, especially because of the hollow eye sockets that seemed ready to suck one in the next second.

Jarrod, who didn't like Jamie, especially her disfigured face, now felt no disgust as he hugged Nicole's badly mutilated body.

«Nicole, please come back. I will give my life for you..." His pleas echoed, but the woman in his arms remained eternally silent, lost in the clutches of death.

Suddenly, the door was flung open, breaking the heavy silence of the room. A sharp scream pierced the air.

Raegan entered. He knelt on the ground next to Nicole's lifeless body.

When Raegan reached out with a trembling hand to touch Nicole's mutilated face, tears filled her eyes and she began to sob uncontrollably.

The next moment, a loud slap echoed through the room as Raegan's hand met Jarrod's face with a resounding slap.

Raegan had used all her strength in the slap.

The force of the slap left a red mark on Jarrod's cheek.

Through clenched teeth, Raegan swore, “Jarrod Schultz! You heartless bastard! "Nicole wouldn't have taken her life if it weren't for you."

Jarrod fell to the ground, cradling what was left of Nicole in his arms, seemingly indifferent to Raegan's anger.

«You even took his son away from him. She wanted to keep it. He wanted to stay with your son. You... Heartless monster! Raegan continued.

Jarrod trembled violently at those words. Did Nicole want to stay with her son? Reality hit him like a sledgehammer.

"She wanted to keep the baby... Ha ha..." Suddenly, Jarrod burst into laughter, tears mixing with the bitter taste of blood in his mouth.

«Give me back Nicole! Leave her alone! Raegan didn't feel sorry for Jarrod at all. He pushed Jarrod away and said disdainfully, “Don't touch her with your dirty hands. Save yourself your hypocritical act. You are not worthy of her.

At her words, Jarrod's eyes shone brightly. He raised his hand sharply, his voice hoarse but full of cruelty. «Don't even think about it. "It's mine."

Startled, Raegan stumbled back, but Mitchel was quick to catch her.

«What are you saying? You're crazy. Nicole would rather die than be with you. She doesn't want you near her. Let her go! Raegan yelled.

Despite Raegan's attempts to move Jarrod away from Nicole's body, Mitchel grabbed her firmly from behind, preventing her from doing so.

Knowing Jarrod for years, Mitchel sensed that Jarrod was losing control. Fearing that Raegan might be accidentally hurt, he quietly warned her, "Don't act impulsively. "You could get hurt."

Jarrod clung to Nicole's lifeless body without moving for a day and a night.

It wasn't until Alec urged Jarrod to return home that he said something ominous: "I'm taking her with me."

Jarrod intended to take Nicole's body to the villa where they shared countless memories.

Alec's expression changed instantly and he said with a trembling voice: "Mr. Schultz, the body is very mutilated..."

"Arrange a time with the funeral home and have them prepare an ice coffin at my house," Jarrod ordered.

Alec was speechless upon hearing that. I couldn't believe my ears. Jarrod was crazy. Jarrod must have lost his mind. Was Jarrod planning to keep Nicole's body in his house?

However, Alec refrained from saying anything and followed Jarrod's instructions.

The burial date was set and Raegan and the others gathered for the ceremony.

No one knew that the coffin contained nothing but emptiness, and that Nicole's body was not inside.

After the duel, Raegan left without saying a word to Jarrod. She couldn't stand being in the same room with him, as he seemed hypocritical and unworthy of compassion.

During the trip back, Mitchel's phone rang. It was Matteo calling to inform Mitchel that Lauren hadn't been feeling well the last two days and wanted to see him.

Raegan heard Matteo's words and abruptly approached the car door.

Suddenly, a sharp noise was heard. The car skidded to a stop after a sudden brake.

Once the car stopped, Mitchel grabbed Raegan's hand, exclaiming, "Are you crazy?"

In a bad mood, Raegan pushed his hand away. "Fuck off! Do not touch me".

Although Raegan's nail cut the back of his hand, Mitchel seemed unfazed.

«Don't be stupid. We are in the middle of the highway. Where do you think you're going? Mitchel said quietly.

Raegan replied coldly, “You're going to see the mother of your child, right? Go away. "I can go back alone."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Mitchel grabbed her hand firmly and said angrily, "I already told you that the baby is not mine."

After Nicole's tragic end, Raegan found herself plunged into a feeling of despair. He couldn't contain his impatience when facing Mitchel.

«Mitchel, do you take me for a fool? If the child is not yours, why is he calling you? I have sent you the divorce papers to your email.

Please review them and sign as soon as possible,” Raegan said firmly.

Mitchel's reaction was quick and irritable. His face contorted sharply as he replied, “Raegan, I never want to hear about divorce again!”

Raegan was taken aback. Why would Mitchel refuse to divorce her when Lauren was expecting his child? What was going through your mind? Was he planning to let her take care of Lauren's baby? The idea seemed ridiculous to him. Every time Raegan thought about Lauren's past actions, she wished she could get revenge on him. That's why she had no intention of raising Lauren's child.

«Don't put too much pressure on me, Mitchel! Are you suggesting that I raise Lauren's child? Impossible! I wouldn't even raise a cat or a dog with you, much less that woman's child! He was repulsed by Mitchel's apparent idea.

«Of course not. “I've never even considered it,” Mitchel replied, his frown deepening. "What's the matter?".

Raegan's thoughts were a whirlwind. Her heart ached every time she thought about the loss of her unborn child. However, revealing the truth without proof would be useless because Mitchel wouldn't believe it.
