Chapter 75
She Is Also Valuable Nicole's eyes widened in shock.
She looked at Jarrod with a pale face.
The corners of Jarrod's mouth twitched.
He said faintly, "What are you waiting for?” Nicole felt like she had been struck by lightning when she heard those few words from him.
Her whole body ached, burning with agony.
This pain now was more unbearable than the pain from the physical abuse he had inflicted on her before.
Nicole started trembling violently.
She looked at Jarrod with eyes full of fear and tears.
"Jarrod, please...
I can't...
Please don't...” Nicole panicked.
She crawled to Jarrod's feet and cried, "You...
You can't do this to me...
Please, don't do this to me.
I've helped you before..." Jamie's face turned pale when she heard this.
However, Jarrod didn't notice Jamie's expression at this moment and refused to listen to Nicole anymore.
He kicked Nicole away and snapped, "How dare you mention that again! Everyone in Ardlens knows that the members of the Lawrence family are snobbish and selfish.
Anyway, you have the right to make a choice, Miss Lawrence.
It's either you do it, or you refuse it.
It's all up to you." Nicole smiled bitterly.
She had the right to make a choice? What kind of choice did Jarrod want her to make? Should she just watch the Lawrence family be expelled from the market with a huge debt? That being the case, Nicole thought she was worth a lot.
Suddenly, Nicole felt she didn't care about anything anymore.
She straightened her back, looked at Jarrod, and said, "Jarrod, I don't owe you anything.” As she spoke, her eyes were so clear and honest that Jarrod couldn't help frowning slightly.
The look in her eyes made him think of something.
Was what she had been saying about the past true? Could it be that she really never betrayed him? She might have tried to help him but in vain.
But he immediately dispelled this thought from his mind, Jarrod tried to persuade himself that Nicole just lied.
He reminded himself not to believe a single word Nicole said.
After all, he had investigated into the past before, but none of the things that Nicole said ever happened.
Jarrod was convinced that Nicole was a vicious woman.
Otherwise, what he was doing to her now would make him struggle and feel uneasy.
Jamie gave up the idea of making Nicole notorious.
She realized that the more people knew about Nicole, the more disadvantageous it would be to her.
It was hard to tell whether someone else knew what exactly had happened back then.
What if someone would come out and prove that Nicole's words were true? At the thought of this, Jamie stepped hard on Nicole's arm and said viciously, “You bitch! How dare you seduce Jarrod in front of me! You are really shameless!" The next second, a crisp cracking sound was heard.
The bones in Nicole's arm were fractured.
Jamie withdrew her foot and said, "Forget it.
Let's get out of here.
This bitch is an eyesore." The restaurant manager waited for Jarrod and the others to leave.
Then he took Nicole and sent her to the hospital.
Nicole's arm was broken, and she needed to be hospitalized for a few days.
The restaurant manager asked Nicole if she wanted to call anyone, but she only shook her head.
She couldn't let anyone know that Jarrod did this to her.
If she let any of her family members know, the Lawrence family would be doomed.
On the other side, Raegan didn't know how she got home.
She still felt very dizzy.
She tried calling Mitchel twice, but he didn't answer.
When she was about to call him again for the third time, she suddenly found what she was doing hilarious.
From the moment they reconciled, she had always been uneasy.
She always felt she snatched Mitchel from someone else even though she was his rightful wife.
And the sense of happiness she felt somehow further her unease.
She found it mind-boggling.
Later, she realized that the more she was afraid of something, the more likely it would happen.
Raegan waited for Mitchel to call her back and had fallen asleep with the phone in her hand.
When she woke up the next morning, the first thing she did was check her phone.
But there were no missed calls or new messages.
There was nothing from him.
Raegan was absent-minded the whole day.
She couldn't figure out what was going on.
When she came to the nursing house to visit her grandmother the next day, her grandmother asked her to choose a nice outfit for her, saying she wanted to look nice when she met Mitchel.
Raegan intended to say something but held back when she saw her grandmother's bright smile, not wanting to ruin the latter's good mood.
In the evening, Raegan finally received a call from Mitchel, asking her what happened.
His voice sounded fatigued.
"Are you coming back tomorrow?" Raegan asked.
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Then Mitchel said briefly, "No." Raegan pondered for a while before she asked, "Is it because you need to accompany Lauren?" Mitchel's eyes narrowed.
He asked, “Who told you?" Raegan pursed her lips.
She didn't need anyone to tell her.
After all, Lauren couldn't wait to tell the world about it with her posts.
There was silence between them.
After a while, Mitchel said, "It’s true that Lauren is also here.
But she isn't here for me.
She came here for business.
We are both busy, and we have no time to see each other.” "Didn't you pick her up at the airport?” "It's a bit messy here.
I have to take care of her, especially since she came here alone,” Mitchel said naturally.
It was as if these words were already deeply engraved in his mind.
Raegan felt like someone was strangling her hard.
She could hardly breathe.
Mitchel continued, "Honey, are you jealous again?” "Of course not.
Well, I won't ask this sort of questions again," Raegan replied lightly.
Mitchel frowned.
“Why are you mad at me again? Come on.
I haven't gotten enough sleep these past two days.” Raegan felt Mitchel's words were rather harsh.
It was as if he was blaming her for making trouble out of nothing.
But she always believed that honesty and communication were the most important things between a couple.
Mitchel always missed her calls and didn't reply to her messages when he was abroad.
Even the news about Lauren being with him came from other people.
She never heard anything about him from him.
Couldn't he allow her to be a little emotional? At the thought of this, Raegan stated seriously, "Mitchel, I'm not being unreasonable.
All 1 want is for you to be honest with me.
I can accept whatever you tell me.
Just don't lie to me.
Even if we are getting divorced one day, I hope we could split up on a good term.” Her tone was serious.
She was upset at this moment, not knowing how to explain to her grandmother about postponing the meet-up with Mitchel.
Moreover, Mitchel and Lauren were in the same country now.
As long as Lauren wanted, she could find a way to come into contact with Mitchel.
Raegan didn't want to be a fool and the last person to know the truth.
"Raegan, what do you mean by that?" Mitchel asked with a frown.
He sounded very unhappy.
What he hated the most now was hearing anything about them breaking up.
"Nothing.
Just remember what I said," Raegan replied indifferently.
Then, they both fell into silence.
This Kind of silence was annoying, hinting at something.
Then, Raegan heard someone talk to Mitchel.
After communicating with that person in a foreign language, he told Raegan that he had to go back to work.
Before hanging up the phone, Mitchel said, "Don't overthink.
I have to teach you a lesson when I come back." That night, Raegan didn't sleep well.
The next day, she went to the nursing house early in the morning.
She explained to her grandmother that Mitchel couldn't come back for the time being.
Raegan could tell that her grandmother was disappointed at this.
But then, her grandmother still comforted her, saying that Mitchel’s work was more important than their appointment.
But Raegan still felt disheartened seeing her grandmother wearing this new outfit.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to her.
"Grandma, how about we go back to your house and stay there for one night?” She knew that her grandmother had been thinking about going back to her house.

"Really? Will the doctor agree?" "Don't worry.
I will talk to the doctor." Raegan then walked out of the ward and headed for the doctor's office.
The doctor looked through her grandmother's medical records first.
Then he said seriously, "You'd better be prepared for the worst." Raegan's heart sank to the bottom when she heard these words.
