Chapter 93
The next morning, Alicia had just finished getting ready when she heard a knock at the door.
She opened it and saw a server standing there with a breakfast cart.
The server told her that someone had ordered breakfast for her and asked them to deliver it. Alicia knew precisely who was behind this, so she turned it down right away.
She called Darren and Jason, and they all went up to the top floor for the buffet together.
Maxwell and Nicolas had their assistant keep tabs on them the whole time.
When they heard the news, Maxwell and Nicolas didn’t go to the top floor.
Instead, they waited until the assistant told them that Alicia and Darren had gone to the studio and Jason was heading back to his room.
That was when Maxwell and Nicolas finally left to corner Jason.
ason had just stepped out of the elevator when he saw Maxwell and Nicolas standing across from him, and it was obvious hey’d been waiting for him on purpose. Nicolas walked up and blocked his path.
Jason, we came here specifically to find you,” Nicolas said.
ason looked at him and said flatly, “What do you want p>
Nicolas‘ face darkened as he spoke, “If you’re a real man, you shouldn’t use women to get what you want p>
Jason gave him a look that said ‘if you’re sick, go get help‘ and replied, “If that’s all you wanted to say, then move p>
Nicolas crossed his arms and said, “We already know why you’re getting close to Alicia. What do you think she’d do if she found out you’re just using her to help you with that eco–district project? Think she’d want to punch you p>
Jason raised an eyebrow and asked, “You think I’m using her for the project p>
Nicolas let out a snort and said, “Isn’t that exactly what you’re doing? You wouldn’t have gotten close to her if you didn’t know she’s an expert at making medicinal meals, herbal sachets, and therapeutic baths. You need her skills for the specialty services in your eco–resort p>
Jason raised his hand and waved it in front of Nicolas, showing off a string of herb bracelet on his wrist. “You mean something like this p>
Nicolas stared at the bracelet, looking a bit dazed. He asked, “She made that for you p>
Alicia had always loved making herbal products, such as scented sachets and bracelets.
The herbal bracelets were pretty complicated to make, so she’d only made one each for Leo and Kevin before.
Nicolas and Maxwell didn’t have any, but now Jason was wearing one.
Jason took the bracelet off his wrist and played with them as he said, “Yeah, she made this specially for me p>
Then he looked at Nicolas with a teasing expression and added, “Looks like you guys don’t have one, huh p>

Nicolas was speechless. I really want to punch this bastard, he thought.
Seeing Nicolas face getting darker and darker. Jason felt his mood improve.

He said meaningfully. I actually didn’t know I could work with her on the eco–resort. Sounds like she plays a pretty important role in the original plan for your four families‘ joint project p>
He smiled and continued, “But now I know. I really should thank you for coming all the way here to tell me this p>
In all his previous collaborations with Alicia, this had never come up.
He was pursuing this project mainly to compete with the Farrell family and prevent them from seizing what Damian had worked so hard to create.
He knew Alicia had impressive medical skills and excelled at techniques like acupuncture and medicinal baths, but he’d never intended to drag her into his feud with the Farrell family.
And he certainly hadn’t expected that the Hammond family and others had already included Alicia in their plans for the *cological zone project.
He wasn’t sure if Alicia even knew about this, or what she thought about it.
f she wanted to join the ecological project, she could work with him instead.
At least he wouldn’t let her get the short end of the stick.
He’d find a chance to talk to her and see what she wanted.
Of course, if she wasn’t interested, he wouldn’t force her.
Nicolas‘ face filled with shock at those words. “You didn’t know? How is that even possible p>
ason continued rolling the herb bracelet between his fingers. “That’s why I’m thanking you for telling me p>
He added deliberately, “Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to get her to work with me p>
Nicolas expression shifted. “You’re shameless. ”
He couldn’t tell if Jason was telling the truth, but if he was, Nicolas had just walked in here like an idiot and handed his rival 1 gift.
Jason looked at Nicolas and said, “Thanks for the compliment p>
Jason’s tone shifted as he continued, “But compared to you guys, I have to admit I’m actually falling short in one area.
“After all, I’m not the one who helped others bully her while trying to use some so–called friendship to tie her down and make her work on your projects p>
He smiled and added, “If she really partnered with you, what could you give her? Some empty compliments? But when she works with me, I’ll give her everything she deserves, all the benefits and resources she’s earned p>
After he finished speaking, he controlled his wheelchair and rolled straight past
