If I can’t have him, then no one will… I might as well let Jarrod endure the agony of losing his true love too. Hahaha!”

Jamie’s expression twisted into one of deranged fury, but the man remained calm, a peculiar smile playing on his lips.

“You hate her that much? Shouldn’t you feel the same about Jarrod? Maybe you should kill them both.”

Hearing Jarrod’s name made Jamie’s expression darken with loathing. “You think I don’t want him dead? But he’s always protected by those elite bodyguards. There’s no way I can get close. Naturally, I’d target someone easier.”

The saying “bully the weak, fear the strong” perfectly captured Jamie’s approach.

Moreover, Jamie had plans to move overseas and start fresh, hoping to live a tranquil life with the money she’d received. She wasn’t willing to risk everything in a confrontation with Jarrod.

The man’s expression grew more intriguing. “What if I told you I could give you that chance?”

“What kind of chance?” Jamie asked, her tone betraying the caution she felt toward the man beside her.

His eyes gleamed with a dangerous allure as he proposed, “I can give you the opportunity to eliminate Jarrod. If you succeed, I’ll drop all pursuit. You’ll be free to leave the country. How does that sound?”

“Really?” Jamie’s voice was tinged with disbelief. Dealing with this man, she considered eliminating Jarrod might indeed be the lesser of two evils.

Faced with two daunting challenges, one inevitably seemed more surmountable than the other.

Certainly, to Jamie, the enigmatic man beside her was far more terrifying, mostly due to his unknown origins.

This mystery made him an imposing adversary, beyond the reach of any strategy. Yet Jarrod was more exposed, with clear vulnerabilities: Nicole, Nicole’s unborn child, and that boy, Austin…

Dark schemes started forming in Jamie’s mind, intent on exploiting these weaknesses. Her determination to act was palpable.

The man nodded affirmatively. “I mean what I say. If you succeed, I’ll let bygones be bygones. My word is my bond.”

While speaking, the man deftly evaded the three cars in pursuit.

Jamie wasn’t surprised. To her, the man possessed exceptional skills. There was no hiding from his vigilant gaze. His near-omnipotent abilities only added to his menacing aura.

Facing him, Jamie said solemnly, “Mr. Bates, rest assured, I’ll complete the mission. Just spare my life.”

“I’m eager to see what you’re capable of.”

Jamie nodded.

Meanwhile, the three chasing cars lost track of the SUV and reported back to the VIP lounge at the hospital.

To ensure Austin’s peace, Jarrod had Conor join him in a lounge away from Austin’s sleeping area.

Jarrod’s face was etched with severity. He scrutinized the video footage sent by the bodyguards, his eyes finally resting on the SUV’s front windshield.

The Schultz Group had recently taken control of Nicole’s residential area, but the surveillance technology hadn’t been upgraded yet. The footage was grainy, obscuring the driver’s identity.

Jarrod’s hands balled into fists as he gave a firm command to Conor. “Pull up all the surveillance footage. I need to identify the person in the SUV.”
