Chapter 234
After a short while, the angry red-purple hue on Nicolas’s face faded away, and his breathing evened out.
The monitors showed his vitals slowly returning to normal.
No one in the room could bring themselves to feel happy-the outcome was just too much to handle.
All that was running through the Hammond brothers’ minds was: Nicole had really caused a disaster this time.
Nicolas wasn’t just the Moore family’s only heir-he was the one they doted on the most.
Now that he was left unable to have kids because of Nicole, there’s no way the Moore family will ever let her get away with this.
Of course, the Hammond family wouldn’t get off easy either-they’d definitely get caught in the crossfire and end up in trouble too, just for being related to Nicole.
Whether or not the Moore couple will actually retaliate against the Hammonds all depends on if they can stay rational about it.
When they saw Nicolas’s face finally return to normal, the Moore couple let out a sigh of relief.
But they were still fuming inside, unable to calm down no matter what.
Diana couldn’t help but look at Alicia, a flicker of hope in her eyes. “If we find the person who made this drug, is there any chance Nicolas could recover?”
Alicia replied, “If the person who made it left some kind of backup or antidote, there might be a sliver of hope.”
But honestly, hope was slim to none-the moment you took that drug, it started working right away.
She didn’t mention that part, though. At least this way, the Moore family would have something to hold on to and really try to find whoever made the drug.
Honestly, she was dying to know who it was too.
Even though Diana felt a bit more hopeful, she was still really upset inside.
She glanced around the room and asked Kevin, “Where’s Mavis?”
Kevin replied, “She wasn’t feeling well, so she went back to the hotel to rest.”

Of course, he couldn’t exactly say that she was crying so much and looking so pitiful that he found her presence unbearable, so he had her sent back.
Diana’s face darkened. “My son is in this state, and she actually has the nerve to go back to the hotel and rest?
“Tell me the name of the hotel she’s staying at and her room number,” she demanded.
Seeing Diana looking like she was out for blood, Kevin figured she was probably about to storm over to the hotel and give Mavis a piece of her mind.
The brothers had just gotten caught in the crossfire and really didn’t want to take the blame for Mavis.
So he gave her the hotel name and room number.
Sure enough.
Diana thanked Alicia, said a few words to her husband, and then strode out with several bodyguards following behind.
There were loads of paparazzi camped out at the hospital entrance, all lying in wait for some juicy drama.
When Diana-her face like thunder-marched out with her bodyguards and got into her car, a bunch of reporters didn’t hesitate to jump in their own rides and tail her.
Diana found Mavis’s hotel room and knocked on the door.
After Mavis got back to the hotel, she’d been on the phone with her daughter Nicole nonstop.
First, she tore into Nicole, then told her to drop out of the show immediately and go to the hospital tomorrow to apologize to Nicolas.
To really prove she was sorry, Mavis said Nicole should stay at the hospital and look after Nicolas herself.
She was still on the phone when she heard a knock at the door.
Thinking it was Kevin or one of the others, she just opened the door without a second thought.
But before she knew it, Diana shoved her inside, grabbed her by the hair, and started slapping her across the face, left and right.
As Diana slapped her, she yelled, “You taught your daughter to mess with my son, you poisonous snake! You-”

Chapter 232
Normally, Diana always kept her cool and never got physical.
But right now, she just couldn’t hold back-if she didn’t vent, she’d lose it.
Nicole was out of reach.
So she went for Nicole’s mom instead.
Diana was certain Mavis knew exactly what had happened to her son with that drug.
So when she started swinging, she didn’t pull any punches.
Mavis had always been soft and timid-there was no way she could go up against someone as fierce and no-nonsense as Diana. She got smacked left and right, bawling and begging for Diana to stop the whole time.
The paparazzi had followed Diana to the hotel, never expecting to witness such drama.
They quickly snapped photos and shared them all over social media.
[Leo’s Wife Beaten, Cries for Mercy] went viral in no time.
The Hammond family was the laughingstock of the entire industry tonight.
