Chapter 231
The production team rushed Nicolas to the city hospital.
Members of both the Moore family and the Hammond family made their way to the city hospital in a hurry.
In another city in the neighboring province.
Alicia took Jason out for a late-night bite.
Jason scooped her a bowl of seafood porridge. “You predicted it again-Nicole pulled off another stunt.”
Before they headed out, Alicia had Jason arrange for someone to keep tabs on Nicole.
Sure enough, Nicole made her move later that night.
Alicia took the porridge. “With both of us out of the picture, Nicole was bound to take advantage of the situation and cause some drama.
“But even though I figured she’d pull a stunt, I never expected her to actually drug Nicolas.”
None of this had happened in her previous life.
It was Jett who’d tried to drug her back then, but she’d caught him in the act.
Thinking about it, Alicia suddenly wondered if maybe Jett was the one who egged Nicole on.
Jason said, “If she’d pulled it off, Nicolas wouldn’t have been able to talk his way out of it.
“The Hammond family would’ve used it to put pressure on the Moore family and force Nicolas to marry Nicole.
“It’s a dirty trick, but sometimes it actually works.”
Alicia smiled. “That’s true, but now it’s the Moore family’s chance to leverage this and put the squeeze on the Hammond family.
“Nicole’s little stunt totally embarrassed the Hammonds. My ex-dad and ex-brothers are almost guaranteed to start treating her differently now.”
Their precious little parasite had turned into a man-eater. She bet Kevin and his brothers would be on high alert from now on.
Sometimes, people only learn their lesson when the consequences hit them right in the face.
Jason asked, “Do you think Nicole will still stay on the show after all this?”

Alicia replied, “She’s out for sure. This whole thing is just way too humiliating.
“And with Nicolas in the hospital, he might just drop out of the show altogether. “Nicole won’t have any reason to stick around after that.”
Jason nodded. “That’s what I figured too.
“The hospital where Nicolas is staying is going to be buzzing with drama tonight.

“I had someone follow the production team when they took Nicolas to the hospital. We’ll get updates on anything that happens over there.”
He was thoroughly enjoying the show with Alicia, just eating up all the drama.
Alicia shot him an approving look. “Good job.”
She was having just as much fun watching the Moore and Hammond families’ mess unfold.
After finishing their late-night snack, the two of them strolled back to the hotel at a leisurely pace.
Alicia walked Jason back to his room. As soon as they stepped inside, his phone started ringing.
After hanging up, he turned to Alicia. “Something’s wrong with Nicolas-he’s having some kind of health problem.
“The Moore family might ask you to step in and help.
“Are
you going to go?”
Alicia sat down on the couch. “If the Moore family gives me a call, I’ll go.
“But I’m not going there just to treat Nicolas-I’ve got something I need to check.”
She wanted to find out if the drug Nicolas got was the same one Jett had tried to use on her in her past life.
For some reason, she just felt like getting to the bottom of this really mattered.
Jason nodded. “As long as you’ve got it figured out.”
Sure enough. Not long after, Alicia got a call from Diana, asking for help.
Diana sounded really anxious, and Alicia didn’t play hard to get-she just said yes.
The city Alicia was in wasn’t too far from where Nicolas was hospitalized-about a four-hour drive.

Jason called up a driver to take her there.
On the way, Jason got another update from over there.
He said, “Kevin and his brothers showed up at the hospital with Mavis to visit Nicolas, but Diana really tore into them.
“She didn’t even let them through the door to the hospital room.”
Alicia wasn’t surprised. “Nicolas is their one and only, and after Nicole pulled that crap and now he’s in bad shape, of course Diana’s going to blame them for everything.”
‘Diana couldn’t stand Mavis and Nicole to begin with. No way she’d just let this slide,’ she thought.
Jason showed Alicia the video he’d just gotten. “Those three Hammond brothers got roasted pretty hard too.”
Alicia took the phone and hit play. The whole clip was Diana, her face cold as ice, just ripping into Kevin and his brothers with biting sarcasm.
Kevin and his brothers looked like they’d just been slapped, but they had no choice but to keep groveling and apologizing for Nicole, again and again.
Nicole wasn’t at the hospital-clearly, neither Nicolas nor the Moore family wanted her anywhere near, so she wasn’t allowed to come.
Alicia couldn’t help but gloat. “They spoiled her rotten, so now they have to deal with the fallout-even if they’re on their knees bawling, serves them right!”
