Love Unbreakable

Feigning a sudden realization that Jarrod was still there, the man quickly put on a smile.

“I meant compared to you, Roscoe’s nothing.

He couldn’t even hold a candle to you.

”

Jarrod seemed to have liked what he heard, his expression growing brighter.

In a show of false modesty, he said, “We shouldn’t say that.

I’m sure he has his own abilities.

”

“Bullshit!” the man shouted.

“He may have defeated his grandfather, and for what? An empty company.

I heard that the only remaining mansion has even been mortgaged.

If he can’t even manage to keep himself afloat, how would he be able to revive the Watts Group? It’s a pipe dream for him.

”

Nicole didn’t expect such a huge change to happen to the Watts family in just ten days.

Miguel had passed away, but hidden dangers still lurked.

On top of that, the public didn’t have a favorable view of the Watts family.

But all of this was Miguel’s fault.

Miguel was the truly malicious one in this whole situation.

He framed Roscoe, almost pushing Roscoe for dead.

But instead of being criticized, Miguel was portrayed as a kind old man while Roscoe was painted as an ingrate.

A dead man could no longer do anything.

That meant those stirring up troubles were either someone else from the Watts family or those who harbored a great dislike for Roscoe.

One such person was the man beside her.

However, Nicole couldn’t be sure.

There were other possibilities.

Alec, for instance, could have been behind it.

“I despise people like him.

He betrays his family, even those who have done him good.

This is his retribution.

” In an effort to flatter Jarrod, the man spoke again and made a show of seemingly righteous anger.noveldrama

“I don’t even understand why he’s here in this banquet.

Who the hell let him in?”

The accusations were becoming more and more excessive, and Nicole couldn’t bear it any longer and finally spoke up.

“Excuse me.

Sir, do you understand what you’re saying? When have you ever seen Roscoe show ungratefulness?”

The question seemed to have caught the man off guard.

He was stunned for a few seconds.

Had he misread the situation? Did Jarrod not feel any hostility toward Roscoe? If that wasn’t the case, why would Nicole say something like that? But that didn’t sound right either.

Doreen’s divorce from Roscoe made it to the headlines, and it was quite the sensation.

Jarrod couldn’t possibly choose to help someone who was practically a stranger instead of siding with a family member.

The man decided to play it safe.

“I don’t need to see it with my own eyes to know.

What’s clear is that Roscoe can’t call himself a real son of the Watts family.

Everyone knows Miguel personally brought him back and treated him well, but Roscoe paid Miguel back how? He reported Miguel.

If that’s not disrespectful, I don’t know what is.

That’s even beside the fact that Miguel lost his life because of this…”

Nicole disagreed.

“If Miguel truly cared for Roscoe, why would he leave the company in ruins?” she shot back.

“The twists and turns in this matter aren’t difficult to understand.

It’s just that everyone likes to listen to unfounded rumors and add fuel to the fire.

”

The man couldn’t understand why Nicole would be offended by his standing up for Doreen.

It was a whole new mess.

He scratched his head and said, “I apologize… I.

His voice trailed off without completing the sentence because he didn’t know what to say.

Staying silent would be better than risking offending Jarrod as well.

”

Unexpectedly, Jarrod spoke up.

“it’s alright.

I agree that it was disrespectful.

No matter what, Roscoe is still a member of the Watts family, and what he did was unacceptable.

”

Jarrod turned to Nicole and said with a teasing expression, “Are you trying to defend Roscoe?”

It was Nicole’s turn to be speechless.

She couldn’t read his intentions, but she knew that his seemingly calm expression actually hid his temper.

The man was even more baffled.

He felt the tension rising at the table.

Nicole seemed to be taking Roscoe’s side, but Jarrod himself wasn’t.

The two had opposing opinions, but when it came down to it, the man knew who to flatter.

The man chose not to participate in the conversation anymore and left with a smile after bidding Jarrod farewell.

However, when he passed by Roscoe, he intentionally bumped into Roscoe, causing the wine to spill over his clothes.

“Are you blind?” he shouted.

“You spilled wine all over me!”

Roscoe looked in confusion at the man who suddenly appeared.

The man clearly hit him with his elbow.

Calmly, Roscoe answered.

“I think you’re mistaken.

You were the one who bumped into me.

”

The man sneered, “Are you accusing me? Do you have proof?”
