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 easilymand 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 ustomed 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 ck hair.
The moment the loose strands fell onto her face, chest, and thighs, she shrieked uncontrobly 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 use 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 manipte 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 andnded 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 ss, 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 aeback.
Although a decade had passed, those female celebrities and the scandal they were involved in remain
a hot topic amongizens.
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 pirs of the entertainment industry. Despite their previous sess, 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 umte 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 ck suits toe 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 ck 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 ck 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!
