Chapter 1290 This Is Too Ironic

When Nicole finished speaking, Amelia's eyes dimmed before she said, "That's part of the reason."

"There are other reasons?"

"It's not convenient for me to tell you now. Can you stop forcing me?"

Amelia was very aloof, as if she would open her heart to no one.

Nicole couldn't help but be a little surprised. She even doubted that her feelings for Jarrod were truly
indestructible. Did she have other intentions?

However, this was their own business. She could make decisions for neither of them.

Nicole thought for a moment and said, "I won't stop you doing what you want, but I hope you can wait
until Jarrod wakes up. If he wakes up, you can deal with the baby whatever you want. But now, I won't
let anything happen to you because Samuel promised Jarrod that he would take good care of you and
the baby. If you abort it now, what are we supposed to tell Jarrod?"

Amelia did not respond. She only gave Nicole a meaningful glance, then turned around and walked out.

Just as Nicole was about to follow her, Amelia said indifferently, "Don't follow me. I want to be alone."

Nicole stopped.

She looked at Jarrod who was still asleep. She did not know when he would wake up, nor did she know
if Amelia would try to abort the baby again.

Nicole felt a headache.

Why couldn't things go smoothly?



She felt that she should go and interrogate Aaron.

Thinking of this, Nicole once again came to the cave where Aaron was imprisoned.

Aaron was surprised that Nicole was back.

"What? You want to get information from me? Nicole, I won't say anything. Don't waste your time."

Nicole looked at him and said with a smile, "I won't ask any questions. I don't want to know anything. I
just want to keep an eye on you here."

"What?"

Aaron was confused.

Nicole ignored him and sat in a chair opposite Aaron. Then, she took out her phone and started playing
games.

She was calm and unhurried. Aaron wondered what Nicole was up to, but he knew that the longer she
stayed there, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

"Nicole, I'm hungry. Get me something to eat."

"There's nothing to eat. Deal with it. Don't forget that you're a prisoner now."

Nicole didn't even bother to give a single glance to Aaron.

Aaron had never been treated this way before. He raised his voice.

"I want to eat and drink something. You'd better serve me well. Otherwise, you won't get any useful
information from me."



"Even if I give you food and water, you may not say anything. Since that's the case, why should I waste
food?"

Nicole still didn't look at him, but what she said irritated him.

At first, Aaron thought it might be easy to fool a woman, but now he felt that Nicole was as difficult to
deal with as Samuel.

"Nicole, you...."

"Shut up! If you keep yelling, I'll ask them to gag you with their socks. If you don't believe me, you can
try."

Nicole finally raised her head with a stern look in her eyes. What she said almost drove Aaron mad.

"I swear once I leave this place alive, I will cut you to pieces and tear your mouth!"

Aaron threatened viciously.

Nicole suddenly paused.

It sounded Aaron was very confident that he could leave this place.

He was a prisoner, but he was still so arrogant and confident. Apart from not being afraid of death,
perhaps he had an inside man here.

When Nicole thought of this, a realization occurred to her.

No wonder Aaron was unhappy with her staying there. Perhaps she had affected his inside man's
rescue plan.



Thinking of this, Nicole gave a cunning smile. If one looked carefully, one would find that her smile was
exactly the same as the one Samuel had when he schemed against others.

"This place is badly ventilated. It's so uncomfortable. Forget it, I'm going home. You guys watch him
carefully. You can't give him water, let alone food. I'm going to starve him. Let's see if he'll still be
arrogant."

Nicole stretched and put her phone in her pocket. Then she stood up and looked at Aaron before
leaving with a sneer.

A grim look flitted across Aaron's eyes.

After Nicole left, she did not rush home. Instead, she gave a bodyguard some instructions before
leaving the cave.

When she returned to the Harper Town, Morgan, Joseph, and Sally were all there, but Amelia was
gone.

Nicole remembered that she had left the room to get some air. She couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Have you seen Amelia? She's not well. It's windy outside. Go bring her back."

Morgan and Sally both shook their heads and said, "We didn't pay attention to where she went."

"I'll go look for her."

Jarrod had asked Samuel to take care of Amelia. No matter what, Nicole didn't want anything to
happen to her.

After leaving the room, Nicole looked for her everywhere in the Harper Town but couldn't find her. Her
worry grew.



"Morgan, take a few people with you to the cave behind to look for her. Don't let anything happen to
her."

"Alright."

Because of Amelia's disappearance, many people joined the search. The atmosphere in the Harper
Town was even tenser now.

As Nicole and Morgan were searching for her, a guard in the cave sent news that Aaron had been
rescued.

The look in Nicole's eyes turned dim.

"Who rescued him?"

The subordinate stammered, "I don't know. I went to change shifts, but when I got there, I found
everyone had been knocked out, and Aaron was gone."

Nicole ran towards the cave.

When she arrived at the entrance of the cave, she saw that the subordinate she had arranged to keep
an eye on Aaron had been knocked unconscious. Inside, the guards sprawled everywhere, and the
rope used to tie Aaron was tossed on the ground.

Morgan also walked in. She frowned. "It's knockout scent. Someone used knockout scent."

"They took him away under our noses. This is too ironic."

Sally followed her close. Nicole's face grew grimmer when she heard what she said.

She pinched the philtrum of the guard she had arranged. He woke up.



"Who took Aaron away? Who entered the cave just now?"

"It was Amelia."

The subordinate was dejected, his hand involuntarily touching his neck.

The karate chop by Amelia was ruthless.

Nicole froze for a moment and asked in disbelief, "Who?"

"Amelia, the woman with Jarrod. Mrs. Green, I think they must have planned this beforehand. After all,
Jarrod is Aaron's son. He is probably still pretending to be unconscious so his woman could take
advantage of this opportunity to save Aaron. We worked so hard to catch Aaron, but he ran away. If Mr.
Green asks, how are we going to explain this?"

The subordinate was angry. He said Amelia's name through gritted teeth.

Nicole, on the other hand, did not think that Jarrod was faking the coma.

She didn't think he would risk his life to plan all this. To her, Amelia was more suspicious.

Samuel had said that Amelia was Aaron's gift to Jarrod to celebrate his coming of age. Perhaps Amelia
worked for Aaron in the first place.

No wonder Aaron was so sure that he could escape. It turned out that he had planned for this, but they
had relaxed their vigilance towards Amelia because of Jarrod.

This was bad.

Amelia not only knew Emory's whereabouts, but she also knew Eight Trigrams Formation. If she really
was Aaron's person, then Aaron would soon find the location of the ore vein.



Previously, because of the formation, Aaron had thought that the entrance to the ore vein was in the
Harper Town, so he had placed all of it on the Harper Town. Now that Amelia had accidentally entered
Eight Trigrams Formation and found out about the ore vein, she might bring Aaron into the mountain
from there. At that time, the ore vein would not be able to be preserved.

Nicole panicked.

She hurriedly called Samuel, but she couldn't get through. Nicole knew that this was because of the
signal blocking function.

In other words, Samuel and the others were still in the camp of the Bryan Town.

Nicole frowned.

What should she do?

Because Morgan and Sally had experienced a lot, they were very calm towards Amelia's betrayal, but
there was also a trace of worry on their face.

"Nicole, we don't know how many of our people Aaron's snitches are. It's not necessarily safe here right
now. I suggest we purify our team now."

Sally was cautious. She spoke her mind.

However, Nicole shook her head and said, "These people have been working for Samuel. I believe in
their loyalty. In this sensitive period, if we investigate our people, it may cause panic and
dissatisfaction. That will be counterproductive. What we need to do now is to find Amelia and capture
Aaron as soon as possible"

"You stay. I'll go look for them."



Sally protected Nicole whenever she could.

There were bodyguards to protect Nicole in the Harper Town. If she went out and was targeted by
Aaron's men, it would be terrible.

Nicole shook her head and said, "No, I'll look for Aaron. Your people must keep watching over Jarrod,
okay?"

Since Nicole was so determined, Sally sighed, "Alright. I know. Don't worry, I guarantee that I can
protect Jarrod. He will be safe."

Before Nicole could speak, Morgan cut in, "I will lead the others to defend the Harper Town. No
outsiders can get in."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Nicole nodded and quickly left the Harper Town with a group of people.

She thought that they would have to work very hard to find Amelia and Aaron. Unexpectedly, Nicole
saw Amelia on the roadside not far away from the Harper Town.

Amelia stood there very calmly, as if she knew that Nicole would come. Her indifferent expression
instantly made Nicole burst with anger.
