Rising From Betrayal Reborn As The Family Outcast (Alicia Delaney) novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242

She could hear the footsteps getting closer.

They both dropped the subject, working together seamlessly, without needing to say a word

The crew finally found them, and when they saw neither of them was seriously hurt, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

“Are you two alright?” one of them asked.

Alicia stood up and rubbed her arm. “My legs and arms are a bit sore from the fall, but I’m fine otherwise.”

She only had a few scrapes on her exposed arms.

Jett had scrapes on his hands and feet, and he was still limping a bit as he walked.

“I’m fine too,” he said.

Marley wasn’t taking any chances-he called the crew and told them to make sure Alicia and Jett got down the mountain safely and take them to the hospital just in case.

Alicia and Jett didn’t object-they’d already gotten what they wanted today.

Back at the hospital, Mrs. Moore walked in through the doors.

Mr. Moore glanced over and asked, “Did you find them?”

Mrs. Moore looked worried. “No, I couldn’t find them. They said no one’s picking up, so we’ll just have to wait.”

She told her husband everything she’d found out in Greenpeak Village.

Mr. Moore frowned. “How much longer do we have to wait?”

But worrying wouldn’t help if they couldn’t get through to anyone anyway.

He asked, “Did you manage to get the evidence?”

Mrs. Moore nodded. “Yeah, I got everything.”

Her trip to Greenpeak Village wasn’t just about getting Nicole to spill who mixed the drugs- she was also there to dig up proof that Nicole had drugged her son.

She managed to get her hands on the bottle Nicole had tossed, with Nicole’s fingerprints on

Before she even started talking to Nicole, she’d already slipped a recorder into her bag.

Mr. Moore nodded. “Hang on to the evidence. We might need it later.”

Just then, Mrs. Moore got a message from the person keeping tabs on Nicole.

She frowned. “Nicole quit the show and flew back to the city by herself.

“She didn’t even wait for Jett-just left him behind.”

She turned to her husband. “Looks like we need to make sure she doesn’t slip away.”

Mr. Moore caught on instantly. He whipped out his phone and started making calls to set things up.

Nicole stepped off the plane and headed for the parking lot, looking for the Hammond family’s driver.

But out of nowhere, a few bodyguards surrounded her and “invited” her to stay at the Moore family’s hotel.

They didn’t take her phone or say she couldn’t leave, but Nicole was too scared to step outside. She could only call her mom for help.

Meanwhile, Mavis was still at the hotel, her face swollen and bruised from the beating. She hadn’t gone back to the city yet-she was waiting until she healed up first.

When she got Nicole’s message, she immediately called her husband for help, unable to hold back her worry.
