Chapter 2608
When faced with two daunting challenges, one inevitably seemed more surmountable than the other.
Certainly, to Jamie, the enigmatic man standing before her was more terrifying, mostly because of his unknown origins.
This mystery made him a daunting adversary, beyond the reach of any strategy.
Yet, Jarrod was more exposed, having several weak points.
Among these were Nicole, Nicole’s unborn child, and that damned Austin…
Dark schemes started forming in Jamie’s mind with the intent to make use of these vulnerabilities.
Her determination to act was palpable.
The man nodded affirmatively.
“I mean what I say.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
If you succeed, I’ll definitely let bygones be bygones.
My word is my bond.
”
While speaking, the man deftly evaded the three cars in pursuit.
Jamie wasn’t taken aback.
In her eyes, 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 assumed control of Nicole’s residential area, and the surveillance technology there 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.
”
Although it was difficult to discern details from the footage, it was evident that the woman who had fallen was Jamie.
However, she was no longer the focus of their concern.
The priority was uncovering the enigmatic figure orchestrating Jamie’s actions.
Jamie was just a pawn employed by someone far more perilous, the driver of the SUV.
Conor responded briefly, “Understood!” He prepared to leave to execute the task.
Jarrod added sternly, “Increase the security at Nicole’s place.
And make sure the personnel are competent this time!”
Conor’s expression mirrored Jarrod’s as he nodded earnestly.
He had underestimated the situation, assuming that third-level bodyguards would suffice for the area’s security.
The failure of these guards to apprehend even Jamie and her accomplice had been a glaring misjudgment.
It was clear that a more skilled team was required.
Just as Conor was about to depart, he paused and turned back to ask, “Mr.
Schultz, should we also deploy a team to pursue Jamie?”
When Conor mentioned Jamie’s name, Jarrod’s expression remained eerily calm, and he replied in a slow, measured tone, “There’s no need.
She’s unlikely to make it.
”
Conor was surprised.
What made Jarrod so sure that Jamie wouldn’t make it?
Conor assumed that the mysterious person’s rescue of Jamie meant they still considered her an ally, despite her dire condition.
