Chapter 2561
As Jarrod continued to ignore her, Doreen’s anxiety reached its peak, and she no longer minded the onlookers’ presence.
She yelled, “Jarrod, I’ve been assaulted, I’ve been violated…”
A heavy silence descended upon the scene.
Finally, Jarrod glanced up at Doreen, his brow furrowed.
“What did you just say?”
Jarrod’s words were a lifeline for Doreen.
She understood that as long as Jarrod remained attentive to her, he wouldn’t abandon her.
After all, Jarrod had few remaining family members in the world.
She and her mother were kind of his closest relatives.
He had witnessed her grow up, forging a bond that couldn’t easily be broken.
“I’m not sure.
I can’t say if it was the Hampton or Watts family.
I don’t know.
They blindfolded me, dragged me into an alley, and assaulted me… It happened so suddenly…” Doreen wept, appearing utterly distraught.
This elucidated the reason behind her disheveled appearance, bearing unmistakable signs of abuse across her body.
Doreen had already been apprehended by security guards, awaiting the arrival of the police to transfer her into her detention.
Doreen’s actions constituted a criminal offense, rendering it impossible to release her without consequences.
Jarrod furrowed his brow, uncertain of the truth of Doreen’s words.
However, Nicole was convinced of Doreen’s claims.
Given Doreen’s distressed state and her willingness to vocalize such assertions in public, it seemed improbable that Doreen was being deceitful.
No woman would tarnish her own reputation by boldly declaring such a matter.
Yet, Nicole recognized this as merely an effort to evade accountability.
“Jarrod, Jarrod, I truly didn’t intend any harm.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
I was bewildered, overwhelmed with anger…”
Jarrod cast his eyes downward.
Despite feeling some sympathy for Doreen’s plight, he stood his ground.
“I’m not the one from whom you should seek leniency.
”
Although Jarrod had shielded Nicole from harm, Doreen’s true target was Nicole herself.
It was an act he couldn’t forgive on Nicole’s behalf.
Moreover, he had finally reached an agreement with Nicole, fostering a brief period of peaceful coexistence.
He couldn’t allow this incident to disrupt their balance.
Had it not been for his recent intervention, Nicole’s unborn child would have been…

With this thought, Jarrod’s countenance hardened.
He had extended more than just kindness to Doreen and her mother, driven in part by family bond.
Yet, should they pose a threat to his child, he would not hesitate to act without leniency.
Doreen’s sense of injustice persisted, her tears flowing as she pleaded, “Jarrod, how could you do this? Can’t you simply speak a word and resolve it? If you disapprove, would she dare to harm me.
”
Jarrod’s expression turned resolute.
“I cannot dictate for Nicole.
Should you seek reconciliation, do so sincerely.
However, her subsequent actions are beyond my intervention.
”
Jarrod had made himself clear.
He refused to aid Doreen.
In her despair, Doreen felt as though her world had plunged into darkness.
“It’s all because of you!!” she screamed, her eyes brimming with hatred as she pointed accusingly at Nicole.
“You’re the reason the Watts family and the Hampton family are after me.
My life is ruined because of you!”
Doreen harbored a desire to dismantle Nicole, yet Nicole found the situation amusing.
“Miss Schultz, by what authority do you accuse me? I’ve never provoked you.
Each instance of trouble originates from your actions.
”
Doreen had been indulged since childhood, but did that justify her trampling on others? Did it warrant them enduring bullying and stifling their grievances?
Doreen wept hysterically.
“Had you not enticed Roscoe, would I have treated you this way? Why would I target you out and not others?”
This inquiry grew even more absurd.
Nicole discerned Doreen’s skills in manipulating the situation, attempting to prompt her to introspect on her culpability.
