Jarrod made a chilling face. “You know, if he had just run away, he could have let the Watts family off the hook. But he had to play the hero.

Jarrod grabbed Nicole's chin harshly and pointed inside, making her focus. «Do you see that? That's one of the Watts family, right?

Jarrod smirked. «Roscoe's father surely knows his place. I simply took property out of his hands, and he hurried over here with Roscoe, making a show of discipline in front of me.

Nicole shuddered, her eyes filled with tears, her complexion pale as a ghost. It had never occurred to him that Roscoe's father had ordered the savage beating of Roscoe. All for a piece of property, Roscoe's life was considered worthless. And everything Roscoe had done for the Watts family? Did it not count for anything?

Reading her thoughts, Jarrod coldly clarified, "For the Watts family, an illegitimate child is nothing compared to their assets."

«You can't treat him like that. "He is a person, not an animal."

Nicole protested.

Nicole pounded on the glass in front of her, her sense of helplessness overwhelming her despite the proximity. "No one has the right to do this to him!" he exclaimed.

Jarrod laughed at her naivety and replied, “How come the Watts family doesn't have the authority to discipline a troublesome son? "He remembers that he chose to leave his medical career to return to the Watts family."

Jarrod slowly revealed the harsh reality. «His father only gave us instructions to keep him alive. No other conditions. Even if he ended up disabled, the Watts family would accept him.

Feeling Nicole tremble in his arms, Jarrod tightened his grip on her shoulders, trying to calm her. «Look, Roscoe's father's decision shows his concern for Roscoe. The worst case scenario is that Roscoe becomes disabled, so don't worry too much.

If things were up to Jarrod, the consequences would be much more serious than a simple disability. How could Jarrod be kind and gentle to someone who opposed him?

The Nicole in front of him was a perfect example. Due to his brief hesitation, she had managed to betray him. He should have kept Nicole close, not giving her the chance to separate from him.

Hearing this, Nicole's expression completely collapsed. The chains aimed at Roscoe's wrists and knees were not designed to kill, but to incapacitate.

If this continued for a few more hours, not only would Roscoe lose the use of his legs, but his hands, which had once healed and saved lives, would also be impossible to save. No, I couldn't allow it! His life was already a disaster. Roscoe couldn't suffer the same fate because of him. Just that thought could drive her crazy, absolutely crazy!

“Jarrod, what do you really want…” Nicole clutched Jarrod's lapels, her eyes brimming with tears as she demanded, “What do you really want? "Tell me."

"Did you ever think about today when you betrayed me?" Jarrod's lips curved into a slight smirk. «Nicole, you know what upsets me the most. You shouldn't have stepped on it. Do you really think his suffering ends here?

Jarrod's cold smile didn't reach his eyes, which made it even more intimidating than his words.

Suddenly, Nicole's legs gave out and she fell to her knees with a loud crash. «Jarrod, please, let him go. Don't do this to him. It's not his fault. It really isn't..."

Nicole knew exactly who to beg to make it worth it. The directive had come from Roscoe's father, who was intimidated by Jarrod, which had led to this moment. If Jarrod changed his mind, Roscoe would still have a chance.

Looking at Nicole, who was pleading from the ground, Jarrod felt not joy, but a wave of indescribable frustration. He tilted Nicole's chin, with an insincere smile. “Since you beg like that, I guess I should give you a chance.”

Overwhelmed, Nicole's mind was too clouded to know if Jarrod was being sincere or just pretending. He grabbed Jarrod's pants, his voice shaking. «Thank you, Jarrod. Thank you... I will keep my promise.

“Don't thank me yet,” Jarrod said nonchalantly.

Then he took her hand off of her and smoothed out the wrinkles she had made in his clothes. Turning to Alec, he ordered, "Tell Roscoe that as long as he agrees to go abroad and swears on Nicole's life that he will never see her again, I will talk to his father and let him go."

Nicole remained kneeling, motionless. Jarrod was too clever, manipulating the situation to make Roscoe swear on his life. He knew Roscoe wouldn't accept.
