Vicki was taken aback that Nicole had guessed her intentions.
Deep down, she felt Nicole and Austin were nuisances to her.
She couldn’t stand the thought of them being alive.
Because as long as they were around, Jarrod would never fully be hers.
But she would never admit that aloud.
Vicki lowered her gaze and responded, “I won’t.
I promise you.
I really won’t.
”
Nicole chuckled.
“Miss Hampton, a promise from someone who can’t be trusted is worthless.
I won’t believe you.
From now on, I’ll do everything to protect those I love.
Even if you wield great power and get away this time, we’re not done here.
”
“Ah! I’ll kill you!” In a fit of rage, Vicki leaped up, attempting to strangle Nicole.
But before Vicki could get her hands on Nicole, the young police officer intervened.
She firmly cautioned Vicki, “Miss Hampton, please control yourself.
Cooperate with us.
This is your first warning.
”
This was new to Vicki.
The Hampton family had always handled her minor troubles.
She had never been to the police station and didn’t think this incident was serious.
She didn’t grasp the severity of the attempted murder at all.
Vicki yelled like a lunatic, “Do you know who I am? I’m a well-known youngdy in Ardlens.
If you arrest me wrongly, how will youpensate for my losses?”
The officers ignored her, and one of them said sternly, “Second warning.
”
“Are you f@cking deaf? Didn’t you hear what I just said?”
“Third warning.
Take her away.
”
At the leader’smand, two officers escorte
d Vicki to the car.
Vicki continued to rant, “How dare you! You will regret this! Don’t touch me… Do you know the value of this dress? It’s worth more than your yearly sry…”
Vicki’s voice faded into the distance as the car drove off.
Nicole’s expression was icy.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.
She had learned what type of person Vicki was from their past encounters.
Vicki wouldn’t let this go and was sure to retaliate.
She knew she had to be ready.
Nicole took the vi’s car to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the ward, she noticed Jarrod’s tall figure standing by the door.
Nicole approached and asked, “How is she?”
Jarrod replied, “Don’t worry.
The specialists are still consulting with her.
”
After speaking, he dr@ped the suit jacket he was wearing over her shoulders.
As Jarrod looked down, he noticed goosebumps on Nicole’s neck.
She was lightly d, and the hospital’s air conditioning sent a chill through her.
Nicole was preupied with Kamh’s grave condition, too drained to object when Jarrod offered his jacket.
Jarrod appeared cheerful by herck of resistance, his smile unwavering.
The specialist consultation took nearly three hours, concluding with a decision to undertake blood purification therapy, a lengthy andplex blood transfusion process.
The oue was uncertain.
Kamh might never regain her independence, the worst-case scenario being a life of dependency.
