Chapter 243

Leo was still in the hospital.

When he got a call from Mavis, he frowned. “The Moore family already told me about this.”

The Moore family made it clear they weren’t restricting Nicole’s freedom.

But since Nicole had endangered Nicolas’s ability to have children, they just wanted her to stay at one of their hotels until they could find that miracle doctor.

They just didn’t want the Hammond family to have any leverage to accuse them of illegal detention.

They also made it clear that if Nicolas couldn’t be cured, the Moore family would terminate all their projects with the Hammond family, no matter the cost.

The Hammond Group was Leo’s life’s work, and he couldn’t let it be significantly affected by something his stepdaughter did.

The Moore family just wanted Nicole to stay at one of their hotels for a while, and he saw no problem with that, so he agreed right away.

Mavis caught on to her husband’s meaning right away.

She was a little disappointed that he didn’t defend Nicole directly.

He was compromising with the Moore family.

But she kept her feelings hidden and put on a gentle face. “I was just worried they might do something to Nicole. But since you and the Moore family have already talked it over, I can relax.”

She was showing that she trusted her husband.

Leo was pleased with Mavis’s thoughtfulness. “The Hammond family will do everything we can to help find that miracle doctor.

“Don’t worry, Nicole’s my daughter too-of course I’ll help her.”

Mavis said a few heartfelt words, showing just how much she depended on him, before ending the call.

Then she told Nicole to just hold on a bit longer-the Hammond family’s got her back.

Nicole finally settled down; all she could do now was hope Jett would come back soon.

That day, Nicolas was discharged from the hospital and returned to Irisport.

The news of his retirement instantly shot to the top of the trending charts, and tons of his fans were heartbroken, begging him not to leave.

Even though Starlight Entertainment helped him get his start, Nicolas was the real deal— most of his followers on X were genuine fans, not just bots or casuals.

So when he announced his retirement, it sent shockwaves through the industry.

His fans just couldn’t accept it, and started spamming Nicole’s X page again.

Everyone knew it was Nicole’s outrageous stunt that pushed Nicolas to quit showbiz.

Nicole got absolutely roasted by Nicolas’s fans.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Maxwell’s esports team lost a crucial match and missed out on the global tournament.
