Chapter 1422
For a moment, Jarrod’s ruthless grip softened, and he rasped, “Nicole, how could you have a child with another man!”
Bang! It felt Like an explosion went off in her head.
Nicole’s eyes widened in shock, realizing Jarrod had discovered Austin’s existence.
He had found out earlier than she had expected.
Noticing Nicole’s expression, Jarrod experienced a wave of sorrow, his heart wrenching.
“Is that Watts guy the father?” Overwhelmed by pain, Jarrod’s voice was eerily slow and as cold as the ashes of hell.
Exhaling a sigh of relief at his lack of knowledge of him being Austin’s father, Nicole replied with a faint smile, “I wish it were his, but sadly, it isn’t.
”
“Then who is the father?” Jarrod demanded, teeth gritted.
Nicole replied with a weak smile, “While overseas, I took too many painkillers and got sick on the street, and then I got pregnant.
I don’t know who the father is.
”
Jarrod’s gaze turned icy, “You’re lying! It has to be that Watts guy!”

Nicole scoffed.
“Dr.
Watts has a promising future.
Why would he have a child with me? Had you checked, you’d know the hospital records list the father as unknown.
”
“Where is the child now?” Jarrod pressed.
Jarrod had long been searching for the child’s whereabouts without success, or he would have already taken the child to confirm the paternity with the suspected father.
Once he identified the child’s father, he vowed to eliminate that man!
Nicole replied nonchalantly, “I gave the child away when I returned.
”
“Don’t lie.
I doubt you would do that.

“Why wouldn’t I be able to do so? Tell me, Jarrod, why should it matter to me? You should be relieved this child isn’t yours, or I would have killed him myself!” Nicole snapped.
Nicole had prepared for this confrontation and had hidden Austin well in advance.
Jarrod would never find him.
Given Austin’s delicate condition, Nicole simply took Austin at the door for fun, allowing her neighbor to glimpse Austin and mislead the neighbor about Austin’s age.
She had been planning this for years.
Roscoe discovering her earlier than expected was unforeseen.
But that was fine.
Jarrod’s care granted her the chance to execute her plan.
This was precisely what she needed for her plan.
Obsessed, Jarrod muttered, “If you could have a child with someone else, why not with me? If you can be with others, why not me?”
Nicole was completely shocked by his declaration as if he had lost his mind.
“Jarrod, you’ve lost your mind!”
Jarrod admitted with unsettling calm, “Yes, I’ve lost it.
Would any rational man spend five years with a lifeless body believing it was you?”
Seeing Nicole’s look of revulsion, Jarrod felt a deep cut to his ego.
He seized her throat, spitting out venomously, “Nicole, wasn’t it you who tricked me? You fooled me into believing that lifeless body was you!”
