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 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?
