Chapter 270 I'll Give You My Life

Jarrod was stunned by Nicole's words.Did he revel in the Lawrence family's tragedy? Not at all.
In fact, it was the opposite.
Jarrod had never wished for Wesson's death because it meant losing leverage over Nicole.
Jarrod's mind was in turmoil, struggling to process the events.
He found it hard to believe Wesson would commit suicide.
For what reason? Was it merely over debts? He would be willing to settle those debts if Nicole agreed to have his child.
"You said you'd destroy that contract, yet you used it to coerce my father.Jarrod, you're nothing but snake! A fucking asshole!"
Nicole's voice was raw with emotion.
Hearing this, Jarrod's expression shifted.He had indeed destroyed a copy of the contract but had kept the original secure.
How had this happened? He wanted to express sympathy for Nicole's loss and clarify that he hadn't used the contract against
Wesson.
But he remained silent, realizing the leak of the contract had originated from his end, and therefore, he was partly the reason for
Wesson's suicide.Nicole, her eyes red and voice quivering, continued, "I suffered in detention because of that contract.I even lost
our baby.What more do you want? Jarrod, you've done the paternity test.You know it was your child.Isn't that enough for you?"
Jarrod felt a pang of guilt at the mention of the baby.
Indeed, it was enough.
The loss of their child was the reason why he longed for another with Nicole.
"You're intent on ruining me and my family, aren't you?"
Nicole wept.
Jarrod, visibly shaken, managed to say, "No, that's not..."

Nicole's anguished cry interrupted him.

"Nicole!" he cried, grasping her shoulders. "Have you lost your mind?!"Nicole, overcome with self-loathing, lacked the strength for self -harm. Her face, marred by blood streaming from her temple, was a tragic yet haunting sight. Jarrod was seized by panic. “Jarrod, I'll give my life to you.My life..." Nicole murmured weakly.

"Don't be foolish, Nicole! Remember your mother.If you're gone, what will become of her? Have you considered that?"
In Nicole's eyes, Jarrod was no less than a monster.
But if it would prevent her from harming herself, Jarrod was prepared to say anything.
Jarrod's words struck Nicole like a venomous blade, piercing her heart.
He knew exactly how to manipulate her.
