Rising From Betrayal Reborn As The Family Outcast (Alicia Delaney) novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218

Chapter 218

From what he could see, they’d definitely done some stuff to his sister, but it all seemed to revolve around Alicia. There was nothing in there that tied them to him or the Hammond family.

Other than that, the file was mostly about all the hardships Nicole and her mom went through back at their old place

He tapped his fingers on the desk. If his assistant was compromised, then this whole report was just painting Nicole and her mom as the poor, pitiful victims.

And the fact that Nicole had it out for his sister-judging by recent events, that was definitely true.

So his assistant probably just scratched the surface and kept the real stuff under wraps.

When he got this file today, it all seemed way too basic, almost like something was missing.

Back then, he didn’t suspect his assistant was shady-he just thought they weren’t exactly a pro when it came to investigations.

He’d even considered having them dig a little deeper, or shelling out for a specialist to do the job. But now, with everything that’s come to light, that plan was off the table.

After mulling it over, he told his secretary to look into it instead.

At the same time, he hit up a friend to help him find a private investigator who really knew their stuff, someone who could get to the bottom of things.

Alicia wheeled Jason into his room.

Since he had trouble getting around, the production team had put him up on the first floor.

He needed a round of acupuncture tonight, but the herbal baths were finally off the schedule.

As Alicia worked on the acupuncture, Jason filled her in on his conversation with Nicole.

He added, “Nicolas and Caleb should’ve heard everything.”

Alicia let out a soft laugh. “Talk about perfect timing.”

“Even if they missed it, I’d make sure they found out about their assistants sooner or later.

“But having them witness Nicole trying to set you up, and then bolting when you exposed her-that’s way more convincing”

Even if she cut all ties with the Hammonds, Nicole and her mom were still on her hit list.

She was determined to make the people Nicole and her mom had won over turn against them, so they’d get a taste of their

own medicine.

Of course, Nicole and her mom weren’t about to let her off the hook either.

So when it came to them, nobody was pulling their punches.

Jason said, “I’ve been keeping an eye on Kevin’s assistant, and the background check he did on Nicole was suspicious-he skipped over a lot of key details.

To pretty sure Kevin’s finally going to uncover some real dirt now.”

He let out a sigh. But seriously. Nicole and her mom are on another level-they’ve got almost everyone around them in their pocket

That just goes to show, you can never really trust anyone.

Especially people like Nicole and her mom, who seem like total pushovers. Underestimating them is just asking for trouble,

The Hammonds and the others probably figured those two couldn’t get by without their help, thought they were weak and dependent.
