Chapter 116

After Nicolas and Caleb got back to their room, they just crashed on the bed.

Meanwhile, Nicole went to knock on Jett’s door.

Jett let her in. “Nicole, you’re here.”

He stayed seated and asked, “Want some water? I can get you some.”

Nicole shook her head. “No, thanks.”

She started chatting with Jett, dropping Nicolas’s name a few times.

But Jett didn’t catch on to their plan at all.

Nicole finally leaned in and whispered, “I already slipped the stuff you gave me into Nicolas’s honey water.”

Jett looked surprised. “Wow, you work fast.”

Then he frowned, looking worried. “Aren’t you still running a fever? Why are you still going through with this?”

Nicole wasn’t about to tell him that with Alicia and Jason both gone today, it was the perfect chance to pull this off.

Honestly, she was already done with the rest of the livestream.

Once she had Nicolas, she’d just use her “illness” as an excuse to bow out.

Then she’d go back to her mom and stepdad for backup, and make sure Nicolas had no choice but to get engaged to her.

She thought for a moment, her cheeks turning red, and said, “I saw Nicolas drinking, so I figured it was a good chance.”

Nicole looked at him expectantly. “Jett, you’ll help me, right?”

Jett gave her a meaningful smile. “Of course I’ll help you.”

He added, “Nicole, you’re really smart. Using the drinking as a cover is a great idea.

“If Nicolas ends up with you, just say he took advantage of you while he was drunk.

“That way, you can go to the Moore family and demand they take responsibility.”

Nicole had just made up the excuse on the spot, but after hearing Jett’s words, she realized it actually made sense.

She nodded. “You’re right.”

Jett asked, “So, how can I help?”

Nicole said, “Go knock on his door, chat with Nicolas for a bit, and when you leave, don’t close the door all the way.”

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to sneak in.

Jett smiled. “No problem. I’ll go now, before he falls asleep.”

Nicole gave him a grateful smile. “Thanks, Jett. I’ll make it up to you.”

Jett just shrugged. “I like you, Nicole. Helping you with something this small is no big deal.”

Nicole said shyly, blushing, “Jett, you’re so sweet!”

After they finished talking, Jett headed over to knock on Nicolas’s door.

Nicolas got up from the bed and walked to the door, calling out, “Who is it?”

If it was Nicole, he wasn’t about to open up.

Then he heard Jett’s voice. “It’s me.”

Nicolas finally opened the door, looking annoyed. “What do you want?”

Jett pulled a keychain out of his pocket. “Is this yours? I found it in the yard earlier.”

Nicolas’s eyes went a little unfocused when he saw the cute panda keychain in Jett’s hand.

He snatched it up and held it tightly in his fist.

This was the keychain Alicia had given him ages ago, and he’d never gone anywhere without it.

Thanks!” Nicolas said.

He was about to close the door on Jett.

But Jett stopped him. “Did you guys pick up some water at the store earlier, besides the booze?

“I saw you carrying stuff upstairs.

“Mind if I grab a bottle? I’m too lazy to go back down.”

Nicolas didn’t think twice. “Yeah, we did. Come in and grab one.”

Jett grabbed a bottle of water, thanked Nicolas, and headed out.

Jett glanced at Nicolas, smirking. “You look pretty wasted. No need to walk me out-I’ll close the door myself.”

Nicolas just nodded.

He clutched the keychain in his hand and flopped back onto the bed, not even noticing the door hadn’t fully closed.

After Jett left Nicole’s room, he let her know he’d done his part-now it was all up to her.

Nicole thanked him again and left his room.

Jett walked over to the window and watched the activity in the yard.

When he saw the guy Jason left behind heading over to Marley, a playful smirk tugged at his lips.

Tonight’s show is going to be epic, Jett thought to himself.

Half an hour later, Nicole went back to the kitchen and made two cups of honey water.

She headed to Caleb’s room first and knocked, but no one answered-he must’ve already passed out.

Nicole grabbed a chair, set it by his door, and placed the honey water on top.

Then she shot Caleb a message.

She let him know she’d left some honey water to help with his hangover, and told him to grab it when he saw her text.

All this was just laying the groundwork for her next move.

After all, she wasn’t bringing honey water to Nicolas alone-Caleb’s door was shut, so she had no way to get in.

But with Nicolas’s door left ajar, she could slip right in.

‘Who knows, maybe Nicolas will pull me in and things will go just as I planned,’ Nicole thought, her heart racing with anticipation.

Feeling both excited and nervous, Nicole knocked on Nicolas’s door.

After a few knocks, she “accidentally” nudged the door open.

She walked in with the honey water, quietly closing the door behind her.

As she got closer, she saw Nicolas lying there, his face flushed and looking like he was really out of it.

Nicole tried to steady herself, leaned in close to his ear, and said softly, “Nicolas, I brought you some honey water!”

She gave him a gentle push. “Are you asleep?”

Nicolas moved a little, but didn’t open his eyes.

Nicole pressed her lips together, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

She set the cup down on the nightstand and reached out to touch Nicolas’s face.

Her hand lightly traced his neck as she started unbuttoning his pajamas.

Just then, Nicolas’s eyes snapped open, and he caught Nicole’s wandering hand in his grip.

Her touch was cool and almost addictive-he couldn’t help but want more.

But he kept his wits about him. “What are you trying to do?”

Nicole met his gaze, her eyes smoldering. “Nicolas, you look wasted. I thought I’d help you sober up.”

Her other hand, the one he hadn’t caught, slid boldly across his chest, stirring up trouble.

She leaned in, her voice dripping with temptation. “You look uncomfortable… Want me to take care of you?”

Nicolas was burning up inside, every nerve screaming for her, but he forced himself to hold back.

Instead, he asked, “And how exactly are you planning to help?”

Nicole giggled, her tone deliberately sweet. “However you want me to help, that’s what I’ll do.”

Her mischievous hand kept working at the buttons of his pajamas, not slowing down at all.

She let her fingers trail lightly over his skin, teasing him. “Is this the kind of help you had in mind?”

Nicolas was about to lose it, his face turning even darker with frustration.

He felt miserable, struggling to break free from Nicole’s grip, but she just wouldn’t let go.

Suddenly, he shouted as loud as he could, “Help! Someone’s assaulting me!”
