Chapter 1651:

While her father’s death involved other forces, Jamie’s likely involvement in the scheme was undeniable. If she hadn’t been implicated before, she certainly was now.

Nicole was convinced that finding Jamie was the key to unraveling the deeper layers of the truth.

As for why Jamie targeted Wesson, the motive was clear: to drive a wedge between Nicole and Jarrod.

By implicating the video in Wesson’s death, Jamie aimed to stir hatred within Nicole toward Jarrod. Her ultimate goal was to orchestrate their mutual downfall, paving the way for her to rise as Jarrod’s favored partner, ultimately securing the position of his wife.

Such calculated cruelty surpassed even that of a viper. Jamie’s willingness to jeopardize lives for her own gain revealed her as a truly malevolent force.

For years, Nicole had wondered why her father, a man who had weathered so many storms, would take his own life over a flawed contract. Her father’s spirit had always been resilient beyond measure!

But at the time, the sudden shock of her father’s death had left Nicole emotionally shattered, barely holding on to life. With her mother in a coma, each blow plunged Nicole deeper into despair, rendering her a shell of her former self.

During those dark days, even breathing had felt like a sin.

Brett, having unburdened himself, felt a profound sense of relief. For too long, he had carried this secret, haunted by the constant fear of retribution.

The true murderer, knowing Brett held key information, was still a looming threat.

Brett’s greatest fear wasn’t for himself but for his daughter and elderly parents. He couldn’t risk their safety.

Now that he had finally told the truth, some of the weight lifted from Brett’s shoulders, though the regret for Wesson’s death still weighed heavily on him.

Nicole understood Brett’s predicament and the reasons for his silence.

She implored, “Leaving the country under these circumstances is dangerous, and Callie isn’t prepared for such upheaval. Let me give you the contact information of someone who can help you navigate your departure safely.”

Brett was surprised by Nicole’s willingness to help him leave the country. Touched by her compassion, he struggled to find words. “Miss Lawrence, you…”

Nicole interrupted gently, “Brett, I understand the situation isn’t entirely of your making. You had your reasons.

While you played a part, you didn’t directly cause my father’s death. I don’t claim to harbor no resentment toward you, but I do understand. I’m willing to help you, but there are conditions. Can you agree?”

Throughout the years, Nicole had strayed far from forgiveness. After all, Brett’s actions had caused deep wounds, betraying her father, who had trusted him.

Her father never had the chance to fully understand the situation or the video before he died, burdened by guilt over what had happened to his daughter.

This lingering regret made full forgiveness impossible for Nicole. However, her decision to help Brett was influenced by Callie’s inherent goodness and moral compass.

Nicole hoped for a brighter future for Callie. Recognizing Brett’s willingness to redeem himself, she believed he would accept her terms.

Without hesitation, Brett declared, “Miss Lawrence, whatever your terms are, I will comply.”

Nicole’s voice was firm as she laid out her demand. “When we find that woman, I expect you to step forward and testify.”
