Chapter 1651:

? ? ? ? ?

Although other forces were at play in her father's death, Jamie's likely involvement in the plot was undeniable. If she hadn't been involved 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 was targeting Wesson, the motive was clear: to drive a wedge between Nicole and Jarrod.

By implicating the video in Wesson's death, Jamie intended to stir up Nicole's hatred of Jarrod. His ultimate goal was to orchestrate their mutual downfall, paving the way for her to become Jarrod's favored partner, ultimately securing her position as his wife.

Such calculated cruelty surpassed even that of a viper. Jamie's willingness to put lives in danger for her own benefit 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. His father's spirit had always been so resilient.

But at the time, the sudden shock of her father's death had left Nicole emotionally shattered, barely clinging to life. With her mother in a coma, each blow drove Nicole deeper into despair, turning her into a shell of her former self.

During those dark days, even breathing seemed like a sin.

Brett felt a deep sense of relief after unburdening himself. For too long he had kept this secret, tormented by the constant fear of retaliation.

The real killer, knowing that Brett had key information, remained an imminent threat.

Brett's biggest fear wasn't for himself, but for his daughter and his elderly parents. He couldn't risk their safety.

Now that the truth had finally been told, Brett's weight had been lifted, although the remorse over Wesson's death still weighed heavily on him.

Nicole understood Brett's situation and the reasons for his silence.

He implored her, “Leaving the country under these circumstances is dangerous, and Callie is not prepared for such a disruption. Let me give you the contact information of someone who can help you navigate your departure safely.”

Brett was shocked by Nicole's willingness to help him leave the country. Touched by her compassion, he struggled to find the words. "Miss Lawrence, you..."

Nicole gently interrupted, “Brett, I understand that the situation is not entirely of your making. You had your reasons.

"Even though you had something to do with it, you didn't directly cause my father's death. I don't mean to hold a grudge against you, but I understand. I'm willing to help you, but with conditions. Do do you agree?"

Over the years, Nicole had moved away from forgiveness. After all, Brett's actions had caused deep wounds, betraying his father, who had trusted him.

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

This lingering remorse 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 better future for Callie. Recognizing Brett's willingness to redeem himself, she believed he would agree to her terms.

Without hesitation, Brett declared, “Miss Lawrence, whatever your conditions are, I will fulfill them.”

Nicole's voice was firm as she made her demand. "When we find that woman, I expect her to come forward and testify."
