Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook

Do you not realize the extent of his sacrifices to rescue you, bearing wounds across his body? The stick not only shattered the ten -hour work of the surgeon’s needle but also wounded him emotionally.

Even then, he acted out of concern for you.

However, you seemed to wish for his demise.

How could you be so heartless, Miss Lawrence?

Alec’s agitation heightened as he posed the question once more.

“Or perhaps I should inquire, do you possess a conscience at all? Despite Mr.

Schultz owing everything to your family, after enduring countless disasters and hardships on your behalf, one would expect some form of reciprocation.

”

With a sneer, Alec continued, “Yet not only has there been no reciprocation, but I’ve observed your audacity growing, your determination to undermine him becoming more pronounced.

But what does it matter? Let me make this clear.

Since Mr.

Schultz returned from abroad, he’s been operating legally.

Even under scrutiny, the outcome remains unchanged.

Do you comprehend? I’ve stood by him for countless years and my allegiance lies with him.

A mere glance from him obviates the need for explicit instructions and I’ll handle everything.

”

Alec scoffed.

“Miss Lawrence, do my words resonate with you?”

Nicole’s thoughts were consumed by concern for Austin, hindering her from fully comprehending Alec’s message.

Nevertheless, she managed to glean some understanding.

It dawned on her that all the nefarious activities of the Schultz Group in recent times were orchestrated by Alec.

Attempting to implicate Jarrod from that angle would prove futile.

The more Nicole remained silent, the more Alec’s anger intensified.

To him, Nicole appeared heartless and irrational.

Everyone had a unique perspective, and Alec naturally couldn’t comprehend Nicole’s viewpoint.

Frustrated, Alec exclaimed, “Do you get it? I handled all the dirty work! Mr.

Schultz advised restraint, but I resisted.

The business world is brutal and one must be ruthless to survive! I’m willing to bear the burden for him.

Even if someone attacks me, I won’t flinch for the sake of Mr.

Schultz’s future.

”

With a cold tone, Alec asked, “Do you think I can stand by and watch you harm Mr.

Schultz?”

Finally, Nicole interjected, “Alec, I need to talk to Jarrod about Austin.

”

She lacked the strength to confront Jarrod or even contemplate it.

For now, her only concern was Austin’s safety.

Unexpectedly, Alec laughed upon hearing this.

“Miss Lawrence, your thoughts dwell on your son now? If genuine concern for him existed, you would have refrained from harming his biological father, right?”

He commented, “Mr.

Schultz exemplifies exceptional kindness.

Had it been another individual, your fate would have been sealed many times over.

”

Nicole anxiously inquired, “Who has been tending to Austin Lately?”

Alec’s opinion did not trouble her, but she sensed his unwavering loyalty to Jarrod could shield Austin from harm.

Thus, she opted to inquire.

Alec frowned and replied, “Miss Hampton has been tending to him.

”

Nicole’s heart sank, prompting her to assert, “I desire to see Austin.

I am presently at the doorway of his villa.

Kindly seek Jarrod’s approval for me to visit him immediately.

My apprehensions for Austin’s well-being persist.

”

Alec scoffed.

“What’s there to worry about? Miss Hampton tends to Austin admirably.

She escorted him to meet Mr.

Schultz yesterday.

Under her tutelage, Austin addressed Mr.

Schultz as ‘Daddy.

’ She excels in both care and upbringing.

Consequently, Mr.

Schultz intends to expedite their union.

Rest assured, Miss Lawrence, you are cordially invited to witness their forthcoming nuptials.

”

Nicole’s heart plummeted deeper still.

Jarrod wanted to marry Vicki as soon as possible? Despite recognizing Vicki’s substantial assistance for Jarrod and her suitability as his future spouse, the announcement still came as a jolt.

While Jarrod and Vicki had cohabitated as betrothed partners, their wedding date had been contingent on Nicole’s appeal and review of the fight for Austin’s custody.

What spurred this sudden urgency?

Upon their union, Nicole’s chances to obtain custody of Austin would be further attenuated.
