Chapter 455 Jarrod peered at Nicole with intense eyes.

Nicole grinned. "Jarrod, did you really think I'd fall for such an obvious trap?" Nicole had left the documents at home, arranged for ‘someone to pick them up later, and sent them to the police. Meanwhile, she carried an encrypted file envelope as a decoy, leading Alec to capture her.

Hearing this, Alec ripped open the file envelope on the table, finding it empty. Enraged, he grabbed Nicole, pinning her down and restraining her hands. "You dare deceive me, you wretch!" His knee pressed down firmly, his expression fierce.

Having survived through cunning and force alongside Jarrod for years, Alec had hidden his true self under suits and ties. But deep down, he was still the ruthless enforcer who inspired fear.

With his knee pressing down, making it hard for Nicole to breathe, Alec threatened, "You've got some nerve, setting Mr. Schultz up. I'l end you right now!"

Nicole, unable to move and struggling to breathe, refused to plead for mercy from such a person. To her, Alec was no different from Jarrod.

"Release her," Jarrod ordered icily.

Alec, upset, argued, "Mr. Schultz, this woman has caused you so much pain. Please, don't be soft on her again.

She's heartless!" Finally, Alec expressed his worries.

Jarrod had endured a harsh life for the past five years, punishing himself for his past actions. Alec had hoped Nicole's return would bring some improvement. But instead, she seemed determined to harm Jarrod, showing no mercy.

Alec's intense hatred for Nicole was evident. He wouldn't think twice about ending her life if Jarrod ordered it.

"I told you, release her." Jarrod's tone brooked no argument.

Reluctantly, Alec obeyed.
