The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 360

Upon listening to the doctor's report, Cayden, who was seated on the couch, wore a cold expression.

I knew it. Someone planned this. But who is the mastermind, and who are they targeting? Are they targeting someone else, or is Avery their one and only goal?

Considering the possibility of the latter, a cold glint flashed past Cayden's jet-black eyes.

At that moment, a high-ranking manager in charge of the surveillance cameras at Azure Royal soon walked in.

He then showed the screenshots of the surveillance footage to everyone present. In the screenshots was a woman who had a gray scarf that completely concealed her face. Her identity was indiscernible, but it seemed clear that she had a slightly rotund body figure. She was dressed in a brown windbreaker and was seen holding a can of cat food in her hand while coaxing a white cat toward the direction of a restroom.

Avery was slightly taken aback when she saw the woman's figure.

Back then, she had run into Nicole and her assistant in the lobby of Azure Royal.

The clothes worn by Nicole's assistant looked similar to the one in the screenshot, as did the scarf around her neck, which was identical to the unknown woman's.

Although she had only glimpsed it briefly back then, she was confident she didn't remember it wrongly.

Could Nicole's assistant be the woman shown in the footage? But there are no grudges between us, so why would she resort to such dull-witted schemes against me? Or could Nicole be the true mastermind behind all of this?


Then, the manager of the surveillance system pointed at the images and said, “Mr. Cayden, we've already retrieved the surveillance footage. Ms. Lambert's assistant was the person who lured the cat into the restroom. However, in order to protect the guests' privacy, surveillance cameras aren't installed in the restroom. Thus, nobody knows what happened to the cat in the restroom. However, I have a feeling that Ms. Lambert's assistant definitely has something to do with this.”

Meanwhile, Xander sat atop the purple-colored couch with his slender legs crossed as he maintained a graceful and relaxed posture.

Upon listening to his subordinate's report on the situation, he jutted out his chin as his gaze turned cold. “Please tell Ms. Lambert and her assistant to meet me here.”

For some reason, Nicole still felt inexplicably flustered at that moment even though she knew her plan was flawless.

She badly wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve her anxious feelings.

However, as she took into consideration the goddess-like image that she showed on the big screen and in front of the public, she forcibly held back her desires.

“Ms. Lambert, I'm so much plumper than you. I sincerely think it's such a waste for this garment of yours to be worn by me,” remarked Nicole's assistant, feeling uncomfortable and restrained as she was clad in an expensive piece of branded clothing.

However, the expression she showed was one of utter joy.

She had initially been taking care of her younger brother at the hospital but was promptly summoned over at the behest of Nicole's urgent phone call.

Not only did Nicole gift her assistant a set of luxury branded garments, but she also requested that the latter change into them immediately. After that, Nicole brought her assistant to an extravagant entertainment center like Azure Royal, which took the latter by surprise.

The garments that the assistant currently wore, including the scarf, the windbreaker, and the boots, were all gifted to her by Nicole, and the total cost of all the apparel was up to tens of thousands.

“This garment looks amazing on you,” Nicole complimented her assistant as she helped the latter smooth out her shirt collar.

“You're too kind, Ms. Lambert. The salary you pay us assistants are higher than that of the assistants of other celebrities, and you even give us gifts from time to time. More importantly, you have an amicable personality and have never lost your temper with us staff members. I truly feel blessed for being able to work under a superior such as yourself!” The assistant felt so moved that she did not know what else to say.

“You're all my cherished employees. Who should I be kind to if not you guys? We're interdependent on one another. Oh, right. I heard your younger brother needed a kidney transplant. That'll amount to more than ten thousand in surgery costs, right? Treatment for such diseases should not be delayed. I'll pay for whatever amount is owed for the treatment cost first. Look at you. You've got dark circles under your eyes, so I bet you've been bothered by this matter to the point of losing sleep. Are you planning on hiding this from me if no one ever told me about it?” Nicole sounded particularly gentle as she spoke, and her seemingly reproachful gaze soon fell on her assistant's average-looking face.

The assistant didn't dare believe her ears when she heard Nicole offer to pay for her younger brother's surgery costs. In response, she asked, “M-Ms. Lambert, is that true?”

Nicole responded, “Of course, it's true, silly. You've been working for me for a long time now. Do you still not know the kind of person I am? Why would I lie to you?”
