Jason couldn’t help but be surprised by what Alicia just said.
“So there’s more to this than I thought,” he said, curiosity clear in his voice.
He asked, “Wait, so Nicole is actually Leo’s illegitimate daughter?”
Just hearing all this, Jason figured Mavis and Leo must’ve been seeing each other even before they got married.
Leo went out of his way for Nicole, even letting Mavis and Nicole push his own daughter out of the family.
‘What if Nicole’s not just a stepdaughter, but actually his real kid?’ Jason thought to himself.
Alicia shrugged. “Nope, they really aren’t.
“But isn’t that even more messed up?”
In her previous life, after she found out about the diary, Alicia couldn’t help but wonder if Leo and Nicole had been having an affair all along.
She even found a way to get both of their hair and secretly ran a paternity test.
But the results showed they weren’t related at all.
It just went to show how much Leo doted on Nicole, treating her like she was his own flesh and blood.
‘Maybe he cared so much about Mavis that he couldn’t help but treat Nicole well too?’ Alicia wondered.
After all, Leo married Mavis claiming it was just to take care of her and her brother.
‘But did it end up becoming the real deal?’
But every year on her mom’s death anniversary, Leo would always act all sad and nostalgic.
That just made it even more messed up.
Not just her, even the three Hammond brothers probably couldn’t accept it.
Jason nodded. “Yeah, that’s pretty messed up.
“We really need to track down Mavis’s ex-husband as soon as possible.”
Before, Mavis and Nicole had launched a full-blown online smear campaign against Alicia, stirring up public opinion and cyberbullying her.
Now it was their turn to get a taste of their own medicine.
Alicia had also given him a pretty solid idea for how to get back at his ex-father and the others.
After all, going after them in business was going to take some time.
But if he could stir up some chaos in the Farrell family first? That sounded pretty good to him.
Alicia nodded. “He’s the one who’ll really stir things up for the Hammond family.”

Chapter 181
In her previous life, Mavis’s ex-husband had turned up in Solmare on his own later. So this time, shed have to hunt him down herself before he made an appearance.
Jason said, “Then let’s kick things up a notch and find him.”
Honestly, he couldn’t wait to watch the fireworks in the Hammond family himself.
Just like that, the second live episode was here.
The production team kicked things off by announcing some cast changes.
Maxwell had to drop out this time because his training camp schedule clashed with the show’s live broadcast.
Felicity and Darren also voluntarily withdrew from this episode due to work commitments.
Nicolas, Nicole, and Alicia were set to bring along some new friends.
But the production team didn’t reveal who their guests were, just to keep everyone guessing.
They even got everyone speculating in the comments on the official X account, and the hype totally blew up.
As for who Nicolas would bring, a lot of people were guessing it’d be Caleb.
After all, those two were famous for being super tight.
And with Alicia and Nicole’s backgrounds now public, everyone was extra curious to see if Nicolas would show up with Caleb.
That way, there’d be plenty of juicy gossip for everyone to feast on.
But as for who Nicole and Alicia were bringing, everyone was totally stumped.
The production team really knew how to keep everyone on the edge of their seats.
And this time, they kept the new guests a secret from everyone, not even letting the other cast members in on who they
were.
Today, the show went live.
This time, the guests didn’t show up at the studio together like last time.
Instead, they showed up one after another in cars sent by the crew.
The first to arrive were Simon and Hannah.
There were no surprises with their team, so they got scheduled to show up
first.
The last episode had blown up, and their popularity and fanbase had shot up as a result.
So neither of them dropped out this time.
Soon, the second car pulled up, and Nicolas was the first to step out.
Millie grinned and said, “Here comes Team 2!”
“So, everyone, who do you think the new guest in the car is?” she teased.
