Chapter 1148 Caught in a Trap
As Logan heard this, a smug expression appeared on his face.
This unexpected turn of events, with Nicole's arrival at the science academy, was a stroke of luck. It was his perfect
opportunity to eliminate her completely.
His smirk gradually turned sinister as he nodded approvingly and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Okay. Deal
with this matter as soon as possible. I want the medical base to become part of the Yaels as well!"
"Alright." Ryan nodded in agreement.
After Natasha staggered out from Logan's place, she couldn't shake off her sense of confusion and disorientation.
While she was certainly willing to do whatever it took to enter the science academy, being asked to harm someone
made her think twice.
She tightened her grip on the item in her hands, a flicker of unease shimmering in her eyes.
Just as she approached the door for her interview, she was startled by a voice calling out to her from the side.
When she raised her head in response, she saw Nicole standing there.

Nicole had developed a liking for Natasha. It was because of her words the previous day that Nicole began to sense
something amiss with the medical base. After she conducted some investigation into the matter, she confirmed
that Natasha had been telling the truth.
Natasha immediately snapped back to reality upon hearing Nicole's voice and forced a stiff shake of her head.
Then, she mustered a bitter smile. "Nothing."
Nicole sensed that something was off about her, but since she didn't want to open up about the thing that was
bothering her, Nicole decided not to push further.
Natasha took a seat beside Nicole. After a while, something seemed to click in her mind. Then, she turned her head
toward Nicole and inquired, "Nicole, I think I left something in my room. Can you come with me?"
After she uttered those words, she looked at Nicole, awaiting her response.
As Nicole had already noticed Natasha's peculiar behavior ever since she appeared in the hall, she regarded
Natasha curiously. So, when she caught a hint of anxiety flashing across Natasha's face, she couldn't help but find
the other party's actions rather strange.
Meanwhile, when Natasha was faced with Nicole's penetrating stare, she guiltily averted her eyes. After she
contemplated things over for a moment, she stood up and mumbled, "N-Never mind. If you're busy, forget it. I'll go
alone."
Nicole found the situation increasingly odd. Natasha, who was usually talkative, was now stumbling over her words.
Nicole furrowed her brows as she stretched her hand out to firmly grab Natasha's arm to stop her from leaving.
Then, she nodded and offered, "Well, I don't have anything to do right now. I'll go with you."
Natasha's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly regained her composure and started repeating to herself in her
mind. Nicole wants to come with me. If anything happens, it's not my fault!
Perhaps self-deceptive thoughts eventually eased Natasha's conscience, as the tension on her face instantly
dissipated.
With that, Natasha guided Nicole into an empty room.
All the curtains were drawn, so the pitch-black room exuded an eerie atmosphere even though it was broad
daylight.
Once they were inside, Natasha fumbled around in the darkness, while Nicole stood by the doorway and could only

Suddenly, Natasha seemed to trip over something and let out a startled cry.
Nicole instinctively took a few steps forward and inquired with concern, "Are you okay?"
Natasha shook her head, responding, "I'm fine. It's just incredibly dark here, and I stumbled on something. Nicole,
can you lend me a hand?"
Nicole nodded, aware of the hazards lurking in such darkness. So, due to her limited vision, she cautiously moved
forward and stood in front of Natasha. As she crouched down and was about to help Natasha up, a strange scent
suddenly wafted toward her.
As she was utterly caught off guard by Natasha's actions and coupled with the dark atmosphere, Nicole had no time
to hold her breath.
A wave of darkness quickly enveloped her mind. She tried using the needle to seal her veins, but it was too late. Her
body went limp, and she collapsed backward. Still, she summoned her last ounce of strength and pressed her hand
against what Colton had given her on her wrist before succumbing to unconsciousness.
Natasha knew that Nicole had passed out the instant she heard a soft thud.
As she still felt overwhelmed by her emotions, especially after sabotaging Nicole, she clumsily searched for the light
switch in the darkness. When her eyes fell upon Nicole who was utterly out of it, she gulped nervously.
