Female Novel
Chapter 270 I'll Give You My Life
Jarrod was stunned by Nicole's words.Did he revel in the Lawrence family's tragedy? Not at all.
In fact, it was the opposite.
Jarrod had never wished for Wesson's death because it meant losing leverage over Nicole.
Jarrod's mind was in turmoil, struggling to process the events.
He found it hard to believe Wesson would commit suicide.
For what reason? Was it merely over debts? He would be willing to settle those debts if Nicole agreed
to have his child.
"You said you'd destroy that contract, yet you used it to coerce my father.Jarrod, you're nothing but
snake! A fucking asshole!"
Nicole's voice was raw with emotion.
Hearing this, Jarrod's expression shifted.He had indeed destroyed a copy of the contract but had kept
the original secure.
How had this happened? He wanted to express sympathy for Nicole's loss and clarify that he hadn't
used the contract against Wesson.
But he remained silent, realizing the leak of the contract had originated from his end, and therefore, he
was partly the reason for Wesson's suicide.Nicole, her eyes red and voice quivering, continued, "I
suffered in detention because of that contract.I even lost our baby.What more do you want? Jarrod,
you've done the paternity test.You know it was your child.Isn't that enough for you?"
Jarrod felt a pang of guilt at the mention of the baby.
Indeed, it was enough.
The loss of their child was the reason why he longed for another with Nicole.
"You're intent on ruining me and my family, aren't you?"
Nicole wept.
Jarrod, visibly shaken, managed to say, "No, that's not..."
Nicole's anguished cry interrupted him.
"Why...Why couldn't you spare my father? Why..."
Despair overwhelmed Nicole.She had strived to save her father, yet Jarrod's actions were merciless.
In her agony, Nicole clenched her chest, striking it in an attempt to ease her pain in vain.Her heart
ached.She felt as if she were in an icy abyss, the coldness seeping into her bones.
The crowd had dispersed, leaving the building's entrance eerily silent.
Only the rain and Nicole's despairing sobs filled the air, unsettling Jarrod deeply.
"Nicole..."
Jarrod whispered, fearing his voice might startle her further.
In her vulnerability, Nicole's eyes were a mix of red and gray.
Red with bloodshed, gray with the loss of all hope.Jarrod gazed at her, his heart heavy with sorrow.
"I didn't give the contract to anyone.I'm as confused as you are.But I promise to investigate and explain
everything, okay?"
Nicole's response was a bitter, hollow laugh.
"An explanation? Jarrod, I won't believe in you anymore! Remember when Howe had me in detention?
You said the same thing.But what happened? I underwent another inhuman torture and even witnessed
my father's tragic end!"
This was the explanation Jarrod had promised! Nicole realized she should never have trusted him.
Jarrod's heart clenched, a suffocating sensation overwhelming him.
He yearned to explain, but words failed him.
Nicole, meanwhile, had lost all expectation of an explanation.
She gazed skyward, seeing a world devoid of hope.
"Jarrod, do you love to see me suffer?"
A bitter smile crossed her lips.
"Shall I make your wish come true?"
Jarrod's face blanched as Nicole suddenly dashed toward the concrete flower bed.
Thump! The sound of impact echoed, her blood staining the flowers.
Jarrod, frozen momentarily, rushed to her, his mind a blank slate.
"Nicole!" he cried, grasping her shoulders.
"Have you lost your mind?!"Nicole, overcome with self-loathing, lacked the strength for self -harm.
Her face, marred by blood streaming from her temple, was a tragic yet haunting sight.
Jarrod was seized by panic.
“Jarrod, I'll give my life to you.My life..."
Nicole murmured weakly.
Blood dripped down from her face.
Jarrod's heart raced, his voice icy with fear.
"Don't be foolish, Nicole! Remember your mother.If you're gone, what will become of her? Have you
considered that?"
In Nicole's eyes, Jarrod was no less than a monster.
But if it would prevent her from harming herself, Jarrod was prepared to say anything.
Jarrod's words struck Nicole like a venomous blade, piercing her heart.
He knew exactly how to manipulate her.
Her resolve to resist him weakened, knowing she still had someone she cared about in the world.
Her hatred for him intensified.
"I'll kill you, you monster!"
Nicole seethed, her grip tightening around Jarrod's neck.
Jarrod made no move to resist or defend himself, simply enduring her grasp.
Nicole, weakened by her emotions and recent events, lacked the strength to strangle him.Exhausted,
she finally released him.
But in a surge of fury, she clamped onto Jarrod's arm, biting down with all her might.

Nicole tasted it, a mix of sweetness and saltiness.
