“Lauryn knew, she made you call the police to make Nikolas kill me, you were used by her, do you know that?” Mariela was burning with anger, glaring hatefully at Jaime. 

Jaime’s eyes were full of confusion, realizing he had almost caused Mariela’s death. His face turned pale, and the pain in his eyes deepened. 

“I’m sorry, Mariela, I didn’t know things were like this. If I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have chosen to call the police…” “Enough!” Mariela sharply interrupted him, “Jaime, tell me the truth, was calling the police really unrelated to Lauryn?” Jaime’s lips were tightly pursed, his hands hanging by his sides, clenched into fists. 

Facing Mariela’s questioning, he almost couldn’t help but tell the truth, but…. 

Although Bruce had been caught, the nominal controlling shareholders of the Herman Group were not affected. 

The Herman Group was now Nikolas’s toy, although Nikolas had returned to Italy, with just one word from him, the Herman Group could be on the verge of bankruptcy again. 

The Herman Group, although its name hasn’t changed, has actually long been under Russo. 

Jaime weighed the pros and cons in his heart. 

After all, the company was his father’s lifelong work. It was better to have it than not. 

He still couldn’t expose Lauryn now. 

“It has nothing to do with her,” Jaime spoke, his voice slightly hoarse. 

Mariela just looked at him quietly. 

A few seconds later, she chuckled lightly, said nothing more, and turned to leave. 

Juliette, who had been listening nearby, went to pull Jaime again, “Jaime, are you okay, I’ll go buy a medical ice pack for you to apply.” 

Jaime ignored Juliette, he roughly pushed the woman away, his brows full of impatience, “Go away!” 

He turned around angrily, took out his phone, and started making a call. 

He wanted to find out whether Lauryn knew about Nikolas telling Lennon that calling the police would result in the hostage being 

killed. 

If she knew, then she made him call the police, she was using him! 

Using him to indirectly kill the woman he loved most. 

If that’s really the case, he would never tolerate it.
