Chapter 226

If Nicole really tried to set him up, she’d just end up caught in her own trap-serves her right.

Nicole couldn’t blame him for fighting back-she started this, and he was just returning the favor.

If he was wrong, it wouldn’t cost him anything.

But the odds of that were pretty slim-when Marley came in to set up the camera for the live stream, the door was left open.

So when Jett came to see him, he probably left the door open on purpose so Nicole could come in and close it after.

This was all premeditated.

He didn’t ask the doctor to get rid of the drug in his system.

After all, acting all messed up was the perfect bait-he was just waiting to see if Nicole would take it.

He even told Marley to leave the door ajar when he left, so Nicole would have a chance to sneak in.

If Nicole came in, closed the door, and tried to pull something, Nicolas wanted the crew to rush in and bail him out before things got out of hand and he did something he’d regret.

He made sure the crew would come bursting in to rescue him before anything could actually happen.

As for whether the drug Nicole gave him would actually cause him any real harm, Nicolas wasn’t all that concerned.

After all, she was dying to marry into the Moore family-if something happened to him, it would only backfire on her.

And if he really decided to investigate, she’d be the one in hot water.

That’s why he was willing to play along for now, letting the drug take effect and using himself as bait.

Deep down, he really hoped he was wrong.

But when he got a message from the crew saying Nicole had just brought Caleb a cup of honey water and was heading straight for his room, he realized just how clueless they’d all been.

They’d always thought of Nicole as some clingy little vine, never seeing her as a real threat.

But in reality, she might just be a man-eating flower.

So he acted drunk and woozy, making his way to the bed right in front of the live stream camera, then lay down and pretended to be asleep.

And sure enough, Nicole showed up. When her first move didn’t work, she wasn’t about to quit-she just kept scheming trying to pull something else.

When Nicole heard Nicolas drop that bomb, her face went white as a sheet-she was so stunned she could barely breathe

She was completely blindsided, frozen and clueless about what to do next.

The crew hadn’t bothered, it wasn’t the official show feed, just him hanging our with his fans.

Nicolas had set up his own live

Chapter 226

Nicole was totally in the dark about the whole thing.

She as so caught up in plotting against Nicolas that she hadn’t even checked her phone once.

Nicole’s mind froze up-she couldn’t come up with a single way to flip the situation.

How did it end up like this? What am I supposed to do now?” Nicole thought, her thoughts spiraling in panic.

The viewers tuning into the live stream were totally floored.

Nobody saw this wild drama coming.

[Nicole really is a veteran in showbiz-her acting is next level.]

[She bounces back fast. One scheme fails, she’s already got another lined up.]

[She used to play the innocent and sweet card, but after that performance? Innocent, my foot.]

[If Nicolas hadn’t set up that solo live stream, he’d never be able to talk his way out of this.]
