Chapter 227
Chapter 227
The production team got Nicolas’s permission and then turned off the live stream camera.
But even after the camera was off, the earlier footage had already been recorded and was going viral online, causing a huge stir.
Seeing this, Nicole could only think one thing: she was in deep trouble.
She noticed the crew who’d come in with them were all shooting her dirty looks.
She was way too embarrassed to stick around.
She pulled her nightgown tight, covered her face, and rushed out of the room.
Nicolas was barely holding it together himself, so he just let her go.
‘I can’t let myself lose control and do something stupid,’ Nicolas thought, quickly asking the doctor to examine him.
The doctor brought in some equipment, drew his blood, and gave him an injection to counteract the drug.
Once the blood test results were in, the doctor advised, “The drug in your system is pretty potent. You really need to go to the hospital.”
After the injection, Nicolas felt a little relief, but he was still miserable. “Just take me to the hospital,” he said.
Marley asked someone to get the car ready, then went with Nicolas to the hospital himself.
Nicolas’s mom had heard about what happened and called him right away.
When she found out from her son that the drug was really strong and he was already on his way to the hospital, she was both furious and heartbroken.
The Moore family was definitely not going to let this slide.
She told her husband, who was just as angry, to call Leo right away.
Nicole was a Hammond, so naturally, it was up to her family to give them an explanation.

At the hospital, Leo was feeling much better. He was half-reclining in bed, watching the news on the TV in his room.
Meanwhile, Mavis was sitting beside him, dutifully peeling fruit for him.

Just then. his phone rang. Leo glanced at the screen and saw it was Mr. Moore calling. He couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
What’s he calling me for at a time like this?’ Leo thought.
He answered, “Mr. Moore!”
Mr. Moore’s voice came through, brimming with anger. “Leo, your daughter is way out of line. I can’t believe she’d resort to such dirty tricks against my son.”
Mr. Moore’s voice was icy. “If anything happens to my son, then our families are finished. Don’t expect us to stay friendly after this.”
He wasn’t just making empty threats-Nicolas was his only son, and if something went wrong, he’d fight the Hammonds to the bitter end.
Leo was totally baffled. “What happened to Ally?”
When Mr. Moore mentioned his daughter, the first name that popped into Leo’s head was
Alicia.
Mr. Moore paused, a bit surprised. “Not Alicia-I’m talking about Nicole.”
He continued, “Leo, the whole circle is buzzing about the stunt your stepdaughter pulled. Don’t tell me you haven’t heard.”
Leo got a bad feeling. “What did Nicole do? I’ve been recovering in the hospital-I honestly have no clue what’s happened.”
Mr. Moore said, “It’s all over the internet. I’ll send you the link-see for yourself.”
After hanging up, he sent Leo the viral video link via WhatsApp.
Leo opened the link and watched the video, his face clouding over as he watched.
Mavis, who was peeling fruit, started to feel anxious as she saw his face.
She knew all about Nicole’s scheme against Nicolas.
Now she was just worried that not only had Nicole failed, but the whole thing had blown up and everyone knew about it.
Otherwise, Mr. Moore wouldn’t be this furious, calling Leo up.
Her nerves were shot, and her hand slipped-she nicked herself with the fruit knife and couldn’t help but cry out, “Ouch!”
Normally, Leo would’ve fussed over her and told her to get a nurse right away.
