Chapter 454 Nicole was taken to a hospital room.

Jarrod was not dressed in a hospital gown. Instead, he was wearing a gray casual suit with a black t-shirt underneath. He had paired this with a silver watch, giving him a particularly young and handsome appearance.

Alec respectfully gave the encrypted file to Jarrod before quietly exiting the room, locking the door behind him.

Nicole didn't even think about trying to escape. She knew that no matter which corner of Ardlens she hid in, Jarrod had the resources to find her.

Jarrod sauntered over to Nicole. His V-necked t-shirt revealed his collarbone, making him look seductive and dangerous at the same time. His eyes glinted with a hint of desire. "Where were you last night?" Nicole didn't answer, prompting Jarrod to step closer. With an icy expression, he demanded, "Were you with another man?" Nicole still didn't reply. "Are you going to remain silent?"

Jarrod raised one eyebrow and extended his slender fingers, muttering, "Let me check." Nicole automatically retreated, but she couldn't escape his clutches.

Jarrod firmly wrapped his arm around her waist and lifted the hem of her dress.

A wave of anger surged within Nicole. She spat out, "Jarrod, get lost! You crazy lunatic!" Getting the answer he was looking for, Jarrod softened his tone slightly as he withdrew his arm. "Luckily, you didn't betray me." If she had, he might have lost control over himself and would have erased all traces of the other man from her by fucking her.

Nicole was hit with an overwhelming urge to kill Jarrod.

She kicked his calf with everything she had and pulled away from him, furiously cursing, "Get lost!" Jarrod appeared unfazed by the pain. He continued gazing at her and remarked, "Nicole, you're quite something." His voice was deep and menacing. It was clear that he

wasn't complimenting her.

Nicole remained silent and continued listening as he pressed on, "I'm not dead. Are you disappointed?” "You know the answer." Nicole scoffed.

Jarrod paused, his expression saying that he was making a big sacrifice. His fingers gripped her chin tighter and he enunciated each word forcefully, "I'll let this matter go." Nicole felt that Jarrod's brain was malfunctioning. Things had reached this point, yet he was still speaking so unrealistically. Even if she had said so, could her words be trusted?
