Chapter 419 We Are On Different Paths Nicole was surprised. She never expected Jarrod to punish Alec.
After all, Alec had helped Jarrod with many dirty things over the years. Alec had always been loyal to Jarrod. Even in the Schultz Group, Alec was the second-in-command.
Jarrod had never reprimanded Alec in front of his subordinates before for the sake of Alec's dignity. But for some reason, Alec was now being punished by Jarrod.
Though confused behind the cause of Jarrod's punishment, Nicole saw this a golden chance for her. Alec was the only person who guarded her in this villa,
Nicole deliberately stayed a little longer outside before returning to Jarrod's room.
Jarrod was resting with his eyes closed.
The reopened wound on his body caused his thin lips to be chapped, and | his face was as pale as a ghost.
Jarrod had a wound on his forehead.
The scar was half the length of a little finger, and it extended to his eyebrows.
It looked so shocking. But despite this, he was still as handsome as ever.
Even back in college, Jarrod had been the object of pursuit for many girls. His family background, appearance, and everything about him were superior.
Countless women were infatuated with him. However, he never bothered to show interest in them. Instead, he rejected them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtActually, Nicole was one of those women. Back then, she was the one
who pursued Jarrod. At that time, she was brokenhearted for being dumped.
She didn't get the reason of the sudden breakup.
Nicole only gave pursuing Jarrod a try, but she didn't expect anything. She | thought she would also have the same fate as those other women. ! After all, Jarrod was a prominent figure in their school. He was the president of the student council. All kinds of accolades were given to him, making him shine like a golden statue.
But who would have thought Jarrod would agree when Nicole just casually flirted with him? Nicole could still remember it clearly.
They were in the laboratory at that time. She plucked up the courage to ask, "Jarrod, do you not have a girlfriend?"
Jarrod didn't say anything. He just looked at her expressionlessly.
The atmosphere in the laboratory became awkward.
But Nicole didn't give up. She put on a bright smile, reached out her hand to him, and said, "Hello, I am your girlfriend." Jarrod's hands were in his pockets. He just stared at her hand hanging in the air without taking it.
Nicole was about to withdraw her hand. But suddenly, Jarrod grabbed it tightly and said, "Okay." That was the only word he uttered.
The setting sun illuminated Jarrod's facial features, making him look extremely handsome.
At that moment, Nicole admitted her heart raced. But now she realized all the disaster was planted at that
moment. And everything wa orchestrated by Jarrod. The sudden breakup announced by her boyfriend and their meeting were a part of it. It was all a lie.
Jarrod was a real madman. Because of him, the entire Lawrence family was plunged into an unjust disaster, | shattered and ultimately destroyed.
Her life, the stigma associated with her, the insults she had endured, and her family... She and her family were innocent.
Jarrod's doings had caused the cheerful and smiling Nicole to die.
Now, there were only ruins left in Nicole's heart. And the only memory she had was her hatred for Jarrod.
Jarrod always reminded her of all the tragedies she and her family had encountered. For her, he was a beast who never cared about other peopie suffering: He wa ibsolutely
| unforgivable.
While Nicole was still immersed in the memories of the past, Jarrod suddenly | opened his eyes.
When Jarrod saw her staring at him, | the corners of his lips raised slightly.
"Why are you staring at me like that? | Do you still find me handsome?" It was only then that Nicole came back to her senses. "Yes. I still can't believe someone as handsome as you can be this malicious." Jarrod smiled. "I'll take that as a compliment.” Nicole didn't say anything anymore.
She just ignored him.
"Time for my medicine," Jarrod announced.
Nicole saw some pills on the bedside table. She knew Jarrod had not fully
recovered yet, so he still needed to take a lot of medicine every day.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole sat down expressionlessly, took the medicine, and fed him.
When Jarrod was almost done, she declared, "After you take your medicine, I'm going back to the ' q company.’ The expression on Jarrod's face froze.
"You're going to leave me like this?" Nicole said unhappily, "I have a job. I am not a boss like you." Jarrod couldn't help smiling faintly when he realized she was complaining. "You actually don't need a job. Just accompany me, and I'll give you whatever you want." Nicole smiled sarcastically and said mockingly, "Mr. Schultz, have you forgotten what happened when 1 accompanied you before? Do you want
it to happen again?" Nicole's words reminded Jarrod of some unpleasant memories, His | handsome face was immediately filled with embarrassment. He hastily explained, "I didn't mean it that way." Nicole still smiled. "It's the same to me. It doesn't make any difference." Jarrod's eyes deepened when he heard this. He pursed his lips tightly. "It was you who stabbed me. I wouldn't have been injured if not because of you.
Can't you accompany me for a few more days?" "Then, just report me to the police.” Nicole didn't care anymore. She added indifferently, "After all, it was you who tried to harm me first. I only defended myself." "Nicole, maybe my injury was accidental. But you really want me to
die, right?" When Jarrod said this, his eyes darkened. He couldn't forget it. At that time, Nicole had looked at him with eyes that wished for his death.
Nicole laughed as if she had heard a joke. "Jarrod, don't tell me you just realize I've wanted you dead for a long time." Jarrod raised an eyebrow and smiled self-deprecatingly. "I knew it before.
But as long as you are alive, I don't want to die." The corners of Nicole's mouth twitched. "What? Do you want to die with me?" Jarrod looked at Nicole without saying anything. His answer was evident.
Nicole fell silent. She thought he was really a madman.
Nicole leaned forward slightly and lifted his chin with her delicate fingers.
She looked at him playfully and laughed softly. "Jarrod, you must be dreaming! I've never done anything { evil in my life. So when I die, I'll go to heaven. But you? You are definitely going to hell." | Her gaze swept across his handsome face as if scrutinizing it. Her beautiful eyes were filled with undisguised hatred and disgust. "We are on different paths, you know?" When Jarrod saw the disgust and hatred in Nicole's beautiful eyes, his expression darkened. How could he bear the thought that Nicole left him? At the thought of this, his expression turned cold. He wrapped his arm around her slender waist and said in a cold and deep voice, "Then, stay with me in this world. We will never be apart." He wrapped his arm around her waist
even tighter, thinking she should always belong to him alone.
Nicole wanted to laugh. She felt Jarrod was sometimes naive and ridiculous.
She looked at him and asked, "Do you still expect me to stay with you forever | after all the harm you've caused to me and my family?" J Jarrod's brow furrowed tightly. His arm around her waist subconsciously tightened more. "Nicole, why can't you try to let go of those grievances and accept me in your life again? I promise I won't let anyone hurt you again." "Jarrod, no one can hurt me. Only you can do that. You hurt me all the time.
Do you expect me to let go of those grievances? Have you forgotten that we are enemies?" With Nicole in his arms, Jarrod felt every word she said resonated in his heart.
Nicole said word by word in a cold tone, "Jarrod, 1 will never be in the same world as you. It's impossible now | and never will be in the future." Jarrod's palm stiffened. He fell silent for a while. Then, his slender fingers | slowly lifted her stunning face, covered in tears. He looked into her eyes and replied firmly, "It doesn't matter. As long as you remember that I was the first person who had slept with you and the person holding you in my arms right now, it's enough for me." After saying this, Jarrod lowered his head and kissed her lips fiercely.
Before the kiss, he murmured in an almost inaudible voice, "Nicole, I will make you return to my world no matter what."
