Thankfully, they got her to the hospital in time, and nothing serious happened.

After that, Leo tore into him.

Leo made it clear to everyone that Nicole had already taken the Hammond name and was now a daughter of the Hammond family, not some outsider.

He felt guilty at the time because he never thought she’d be so sensitive about her identity that his words would drive her to attempt suicide.

He apologized to her, and not only did she forgive him, but after that, she liked to cling to him and depend on him.

And it wasn’t just him. She acted that way with everyone else, too.

Nicole was starving for love, and her heart was fragile and sensitive. She was terrified of being abandoned, so she clung to them desperately and craved their care and affection.

After that incident, their relationship with Nicole completely softened.

She became well-behaved and obedient, dependent and unable to leave them.

Gradually, they started treating her like a real younger sister.

But after that same incident, the relationship between Alicia and Nicole only got worse and worse.

They just couldn’t understand why Alicia couldn’t tolerate such a pitiful and fragile sister.

After all, having Nicole as an extra sister didn’t affect Alicia.

So when they found out about the online situation, they struggled with it, but they still chose to stay silent.

They were just too afraid of triggering Nicole and making her do something stupid again.

Nicolas said irritably, “Yeah, otherwise why would we be in such a difficult position?”

He had witnessed that unforgettable scene with his own eyes.

After all these years together, he saw Nicole as his sister.

And the company’s PR department staff must have lost their minds because they built Nicole’s entire image around being a wealthy heiress.

If they came forward now to clarify the truth, it would force her to be torn apart by the entire internet.

When Alicia got criticized, she was mentally strong and would fight back to prove herself.

But if it were Nicole, she’d probably spiral into depression immediately, or worse, her fragility and depression

would push her to attempt suicide again.

Then they’d be responsible for driving her to her death, and the Hammond family probably wouldn’t let it

Maxwell let out a sigh and said, “Even if we don’t clear things up ourselves, this whole thing’s probably gonna come out someday anyway.”

There was no way to keep it hidden forever.

Nicolas nodded and said, “It’s bound to happen sooner or later, especially now that we’ve got Jason deliberately stirring up trouble.”

He added meaningfully, “No matter how it gets exposed later, we just can’t be the ones to spill it ourselves. Otherwise, Leo and Kevin might actually want to kill you.”

Maxwell flopped back on the couch and looked utterly defeated. “Yeah, I feel like I shouldn’t have agreed to do this show in the first place,” he said.

Not only had he failed to make things right with Alicia, but everything had gotten even worse.

Right now, he didn’t want to be stuck in the middle between Alicia and Nicole at all.

But Nicolas shook his head and said, “If you hadn’t come, it’d be even harder to find a chance to make peace with her. Her attitude this time is completely different from before.”

He could see Alicia’s coldness clear as day, and that’s why he was starting to panic.

No matter what, he had to fix this because he couldn’t accept spending the rest of his life without her in it.

Maxwell realized he had a point and said, “Then let’s do our best to win her over.”

He sighed again and added, “No matter how hard it is, we’ve gotta push through.”

They didn’t have any other choice,

There was no way they could actually cut ties with her for real.

She was the sister who’d grown up with him, the one who’d always protected him when they were kids.

So the two of them started brainstorming ways to get back on Alicia’s good side.
