The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 538 A Taste Of Your Own Medicine

Suddenly, a sharp dagger was pressed against Nicole's cheek.

She tightened her grip on the corner of her clothes and shudder.

Suppressing her fear, she stuttered, “C-Cayden, what are you doing? It's dangerous to hold a knife like that. C-Can

you please take it away...”

The man was still as handsome as ever and could easily command everyone's attention, but when he looked at her,

his eyes were filled with hatred and disgust.

Tears started welling up in Nicole's eyes, and she felt a sharp pain sensation as if someone had pricked her heart

with a needle.

The idea that Cayden held such animosity toward her was too much for her to handle.

While Nicole had grown accustomed to his apathetic demeanor toward her, the fact that he harbored hatred and

disgust toward her was something that Nicole found unbearable.

“You're scared, huh? I thought you were fearless, Ms. Lambert. When you attempted suicide publicly in front of the

media, why didn't you make deeper cuts on your wrist? The show you put on was utterly nauseating! Nicole

Lambert, I turned a blind eye to all your wicked ways because of Mr. William, but I didn't expect you to have the

audacity to target Avery repeatedly. Are you tired of living?” Cayden gently waved the dagger near her cheek,

causing a sharp, burning pain to shoot through her facial muscles.

Nicole was paralyzed with fear, not daring to even flinch. She was afraid that the knife would slice her cheek and

ruin her stunning appearance.

“Cayden, I have no idea what you're talking about. Ms. Rumpley might be my love rival, and I know you love her

very much, but I swear I've never intentionally harmed her in any way even though I might have said things to

provoke her. All the mishaps that happened to her have nothing to do with me...” Nicole could not stop shivering,

but she outright denied her involvement in all the incidents.

She thought if she remained tight-lipped and denied any wrongdoing, Cayden might not treat her harshly out of

respect for her parents.

However, if she were to tell the truth, given Cayden's vindictive nature, she felt it would be difficult to escape his

punishment.

“You still refuse to admit what you've done, huh?” Cayden sneered, his voice full of hostility. “Yes, you didn't do it

yourself because you're the mastermind who ordered others to dump venomous snakes into the mansion on Mount

Loang!”

With a slight twist of the dagger in his hand, Cayden cut off half of Nicole's lustrous black hair.

The moment the loose strands fell onto her face, chest, and thighs, she shrieked uncontrollably once again.

She feared that he would target her face next and ruin her beauty.

“It wasn't me, Cayden. It really wasn't me. You can't simply accuse me without any evidence. What mansion on

Mount Loang? What venomous snake? I don't know what you're talking about...” Nicole was a talented actress who

could easily manipulate her emotions.

Despite trembling in fear, she did not forget to put on a show to fervently clear herself of guilt.

Yet, to Cayden, her cowardly and unappealing behavior only intensified his disgust.

“Do you think I'll bring you here without evidence?” Cayden tossed a stack of photos at her.

One after another, those photos drifted down and landed on the uneven concrete floor.

Nicole could not believe her eyes when she saw those photos.

Among the photos were those of the pesticide dealer caught by the cops and henchmen sent by Roderick to

release venomous snakes and even pictures of her and Roderick engaging in sexual acts.

“I never would have guessed that you, Ms. Lambert, were such a free spirit. You give off an air of sophistication and

class, yet you lead such a promiscuous private life. You even took pictures of yourself engaging in lewd acts with a

man. I wonder how the media would react if I were to release these photos. You have such a captivating charm that

even Mr. Fuller was under your spell and willing to participate in your malicious schemes. Do you think your

adoptive parents would still be proud of you knowing that they raised such a cunning and vicious daughter?”

Cayden sneered in a cold tone.

Nicole was utterly dumbstruck. H-How did this happen? Roderick has always been reliable in handling things, and he

never leaves any trace behind. How did Cayden manage to catch him in such a short time?

What shocked her the most was Cayden actually had photos of her and Roderick engaging in intimate acts.

If he were to release those pictures to the public, her career in the entertainment industry would be over.

Nicole recalled a scandal from about ten years ago in the entertainment industry when nude photos were leaked.

As soon as the private lives of those female celebrities, known for their sweet and innocent personas, were

exposed, they instantly fell from grace.

Since then, their careers plummeted, and they never had a chance to make a comeback.

Although a decade had passed, those female celebrities and the scandal they were involved in remain a hot topic

among netizens.

When people talked about them, their tone was still filled with disgust, mockery, and contempt.

Nicole was aware that many of the celebrities, including singers and film stars, whose nude photos were leaked

were once the pillars of the entertainment industry. Despite their previous success, they were unable to revive their

careers after the scandal.

Even if her adoptive father was William Lambert, the state secretary, no prominent family would consider marrying

a woman with a tainted reputation.

Nicole started panicking and pleaded with Cayden in between sobs, “C-Cayden, I didn't mean to do it. Jealousy got

the better of me. I love you so much, but you kept ignoring me. I just wanted to teach Avery a lesson, not to harm

her. I'm telling you the truth! Can you please forgive me? I'll do anything you want me to. I swear I won't do it

again!”

“You won't do it again?” Cayden scoffed. “Do you think I'll believe your words? Do you really think I didn't know that

you were behind the cat attack? Do you think I am unaware that you hit Avery with your car, almost causing her to

miscarry? At that time, I wanted to destroy you, but I decided to let it slide out of respect for your father and to

accumulate merits for Avery's unborn child. I thought you would stop if I showed no interest in you, but you kept

testing my patience by trying to kill Avery! Are you tired of living? I will send you to hell myself! Since you are so

fond of venomous snakes, I'll let you get a taste of your own medicine!”

Cayden waved his hand indifferently, signaling a few men in black suits to come in with several woven bags in their

hands.

It was unclear what was in the bags, but the way they moved caused Nicole to shudder.

Nicole was on high alert, sensing that something terrible was about to happen. However, before she could even

react, the men in black suits opened the woven bags and emptied the contents onto her head and body.

Those creatures were snakes.

Nicole instantly screamed in terror. Her sharp voice reverberated through the abandoned factory.

Countless black snakes, white snakes, spotted snakes, color-changing snakes, and ball-shaped snakes writhed and

coiled around her neck, arms, and thighs. She was so terrified that her eyes rolled back, and she was on the verge

of fainting.

One of the men even pried open her mouth and made her swallow a white pill.

After the pill dissolved, Nicole found herself not only unable to speak but also with a frighteningly clear mind. She

could not even faint to escape the situation.

Nicole fixed her terrified gaze on the man who walked away calmly, tears streaming down her face. Cayden Moore,

you're indeed a ruthless man!
