Nicole shook her head: "No."

"Ah, so you're like me?" the woman asked.

Nicole looked on, puzzled by what the woman meant.

The woman found Nicole attractive, although her pale face gave her a somewhat saddened appearance. This aroused the woman's sympathy.

"As someone Mr. Schultz has helped," the woman clarified.

Hearing this, Nicole's smile hardened, making her face suddenly look strained.

Without realizing it, the woman continued, “I have a noodle stall outside the Vijaya temple. Two years ago I had an accident and broke my leg. Mr. Schultz found out and got me a prosthesis. Since then he has been taking care of my business. "He visits the cemetery next to the temple four times a year and always brings me gifts."

Nicole's complexion became even whiter. "The Vijaya temple, did you say?"

Nicole's parents' graves were in the cemetery next to the Vijaya Temple.

"Yes, I was widowed young and never had children due to health problems." The woman folded her hands in a prayer pose and added, "Later, the elders of the Vijaya temple took me in and I have been selling noodles at the temple gate to tourists."

The more Nicole looked at the woman, the more familiar she looked.

He realized that the woman was exactly the noodle seller at the entrance of the Vijaya temple.

The woman continued: "I have noticed that Mr. Schultz has come to pay his respects four times a year without fail. I heard those headstones belonged to his girlfriend and her family. Rumors later emerged that his girlfriend was actually alive, causing her tombstone to be removed, but he continues to pay his respects to her family.

Nicole's head began to pound. She bit her lip, wishing the woman would stop talking.

However, the woman, looking at Jarrod with admiration, smiled and said, “You probably have no idea how much good Mr. Schultz has done. At that time, the Vijaya Temple lacked funds to function normally. The situation worsened with the illness of those older monks, faced with the imminent fate of the temple being deserted. It was Mr. Schultz who paid for his medical care. I learned that he also supported many schools and orphanages. Those whom he helped, knowing that he often visited the graveyard next to the Vijaya temple, visited the temple and made it popular ever since.”

The woman pointed to a group of people and explained to Nicole, "Look, all of these people have received help from Mr. Schultz." Mr. Schultz is accused of economic crimes, but none of them believe it. Mr. Schultz uses his wealth for charity. How could I be doing something wrong…?

Nicole's body started to shake and she stammered, "Please... Stop talking."

The woman noticed Nicole's distress and asked worriedly: "Miss, what's wrong?" Do you need me to call an ambulance?

"It's nothing... I just need to go out for a moment," Nicole responded.

Nicole looked around and noticed that everyone in the room was looking at Jarrod appreciatively.

A chilling feeling came over Nicole instantly. The man she considered a great villain was perceived by others as a benevolent figure, which was totally absurd and laughable!

As she got up to leave, Nicole stumbled, causing a commotion.

Jarrod's attention turned to her, and she clenched her fists instinctively. A ringing filled his ears, drowning out the judge's words.

Nicole hurried out of the room, reached the hallway and leaned on a column, slowly sliding to the floor. His heart was beating hard, as if it wanted to escape from his chest. He felt as if his entire world had turned upside down.
