Chapter 242
The production crew was startled when they saw the two of them tumble down the hillside.
The viewers watching the live stream were freaked out too, all shouting for the crew to hurry and go save them.
Once they reached the bottom of the slope, Alicia brushed the dust off her clothes.
Seeing Jett all covered in dirt and grimacing in pain, Alicia raised an eyebrow. “If I hadn’t grabbed you and gone down with you, your whole performance would’ve been wasted.”
‘He definitely did that on purpose just to get away from the cameras and everyone else, Alicia thought.
Hearing her words, Jett sat on the ground and raised an eyebrow back at her. “No wonder you’re Alicia. You catch on fast.”
Alicia crossed her arms and looked at him. “Alright, spill it. What are you really up to?”
Jett let out a light laugh. “Why so impatient?”
Alicia rolled her eyes. “We’re not exactly friends, so don’t expect me to be patient with you.”
Jett’s mouth twitched. “You’re getting more and more straightforward.”
He held out his arm to Alicia and sighed. “Just see for yourself. I can’t put it into words.”
Alicia got what he meant, sat down next to him, and carefully checked his pulse.
She realized that this time, his inner conflict was even worse than before. “I’ll need to use a few needles to really figure out what’s going on.”
Jett just lay back and said, “Go ahead, do whatever you need.”
Alicia felt a bit exasperated, but she took off her bracelet, flipped a switch, and poured out a few sterilized gold needles.
She placed them into several key acupoints on his body.
After about three minutes, she checked his pulse again, and her face showed clear surprise.
“You’ve been drugged, and someone hit you with a psychological suggestion,” she said.
Now she finally understood why his inner struggle was so intense.
He was using sheer willpower to fight against the psychological suggestion and control.

Chapter 240
From the looks of it, he’d managed to resist, but on the outside, he just seemed mentally unstable.
He was acting crazy like a lunatic-not just to vent, but probably to put on a show for whoever was trying to control him.
When Jett saw that Alicia had figured out what was wrong with him, he couldn’t help but let out a huge sigh of relief.
He turned to her, looking unusually serious. “I knew I picked the right person.”
Alicia asked, “So, because of the psychological suggestion, you can’t say what you really think?”
Jett nodded. “Yeah.”
Alicia said, “Alright, I’ll ask the questions, and you just answer yes or no.”
Jett was thinking the same thing. “Okay.”
Alicia asked, “Is the person controlling you with psychological suggestion the miracle doctor who cured you?”
Jett replied, “Yes.”
Alicia asked, “Did he tell you to protect Nicole?”
Jett looked genuinely surprised. “Yeah, you even noticed that?”
Alicia smiled. “You’ve been chasing after Nicole for years, and everyone says you’re head over heels for her, always doing whatever she wants.
“But honestly, I never really saw you act like you were actually into her.”
Ever since this variety show started, Jett’s blunt comments kept landing Nicole in hot water.
But to everyone else, it never looked intentional-he just came off as your typical clueless
guy.
And with all his crazy antics over the years, his family and friends have all been burned by him at some point. People just thought he was a total weirdo, so nobody ever suspected he was actually trying to mess with Nicole.
Honestly, Jett’s acting was next-level.
Alicia figured out that someone told Jett to look after Nicole, but he kept ‘accidentally’ making things worse for her.

Which meant, deep down, he probably couldn’t stand Nicole. Maybe he even hated her.
And with his background, he didn’t need to suck up to Nicole or the Hammond family, so he must’ve been forced into it.
