Chapter 192
Besides, whenever she got upset or felt mistreated before, Nicolas and Caleb would always rush to comfort her. She figured she could use that to show everyone that, even if Alicia cut her off, she was still the favorite in their eyes. It was basically her way of marking her territory-and making sure Alicia felt it.
And if she could find a chance to push things further with Nicolas-maybe even make it a done deal-all the better.
That sneaky plan was actually Jett’s idea.
The more she thought about it, the more she was convinced this plan could actually work.
After all, her stepfather still spoiled her. Even if she was just the stepdaughter, she was still the Hammond family’s princess.
If Nicolas ever did anything with her, he’d have no way to explain himself to the Hammonds.
The two families’ businesses and interests were totally tied together, so with all that pressure, Nicolas would be forced to marry her, no matter what he wanted.
She was sure that with her tricks, once she became his wife, she’d definitely melt his heart and make him fall for her completely.
Just like her mom managed to win over her stepdad.
But neither Nicolas nor Caleb came over to comfort her, totally messing up her plan.
She couldn’t believe it-she felt even more wronged and miserable.
Resentment started bubbling up inside her.
If Nicolas was going to force her hand like this, then she’d stop at nothing to get
him.
Then the production team put the ten requests they’d picked out up on the projection screen behind the guests.
The messages kept looping on the screen, cycling through one after another.
Marley looked over at Nicolas and said, “Mr. Moore, let’s see who you’ll be helping out this episode.
“Go ahead and do the honors-press the button and pick for everyone.”
Before Nicolas could even make a move, Jett spoke up right away, not having any of it.
He turned to Marley and said, “Why does he get to pick?
“Shouldn’t one of us newbies get to do it?”
Nicolas just couldn’t with this guy. ‘Seriously, does Jett have to make a scene about everything? What’s his deal?’ he thought
Not wanting Jett to say anything crazier, Nicolas gave him a frosty look and said, “Whatever, go ahead.”
Jett didn’t miss a beat. He stood up and said, “Okay, I’ll pick ”
Everyone quickly realized Jett wasn’t just savage with his words–he was seriously thick-skumed, too.

The live chat was totally split: half the viewers thought he was a riot, while the other half were busy flaming him.
Nicolas’s fans were especially ruthless, going off on him nonstop.
Marley just smiled and said, “Alright, Jett, you go ahead.”
After all, Jett was the Kingsley family’s little prince-nobody dared to cross him.
Jett walked over and pressed the pause button on the remote.
The messages on the screen started to slow down, then landed on one of the requests.
Marley took a closer look at the message and said, “This one’s from Greenpeak Village.”
“The place is super poor and pretty underdeveloped. They finally got a road to the county a couple years ago, which helped a bit, but they still have no idea how to actually make a living.
“So they’re hoping the production team can come check out Greenpeak Village and maybe the guests can brainstorm some ways for them to prosper.
“And hey, if we can’t figure out a way for them to get ahead, that’s cool too. At least we’ll give their village some publicity.”
Honestly, for a lot of these requests, just getting some attention from the show is already a win-even if their problems don’t actually get solved.
At the very least, it gets their name out there, and that’s another way to help them out.
Marley turned to the guests and asked, “So, the focus of this episode is going to be Greenpeak Village. Any objections?”
Honestly, this was a solid theme-helping a struggling village figure out a way to prosper. It was all about bringing some positive energy and uplifting the community.
Everyone was on board. Nobody had any complaints.
Greenpeak Village was located in a whole different province, so getting there was going to be quite a trek.
The production team hadn’t done any secret planning-they really hadn’t booked any flights ahead of time.
So now they started booking tickets and sorting out transportation to Greenpeak Village.
They told the guests to head back and rest up, since everyone would be flying out together tomorrow.
They also told viewers to drop their suggestions on the official X page.
Basically, once the guests got to Greenpeak Village, the audience could come up with all sorts of crazy challenges or fun stud for them to do.
The production team would narrow it down to twenty ideas, and when the guests arrived tomorrow, each group would randomly pick one-and then everyone would have to take part in whatever they got
And with that, the live stream for today came to an end.
