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. Itwas 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 Yaelsas well!"

"Alright." Ryan nodded in agreement.

After Natasha staggered out from Logan's place, she couldn't shake off her sense of confusion anddisorientation.

While she was certainly willing to do whatever it took to enter the science academy, being asked toharm 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 fromthe side.

When she raised her head in response, she saw Nicole standing there.

Nicole took in Natasha's disoriented appearance and casually asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Nicole had developed a liking for Natasha. It was because of her words the previous day that Nicolebegan to sense something amiss with the medical base. After she conducted some investigation intothe 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 ofher 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 thingthat 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, sheturned her head toward Nicole and inquired, "Nicole, I think I left something in my room. Can you comewith me?"

Once they were inside, Natasha fumbled around in the darkness, while Nicole stood by the doorwayand could only catch vague glimpses of her figure.

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 onsomething. 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 helpNatasha 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, Nicolehad 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 wastoo late. Her body went limp, and she collapsed backward. Still, she summoned her last ounce ofstrength and pressed her hand against what Colton had given her on her wrist before succumbing tounconsciousness.

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 clumsilysearched for the light switch in the darkness. When her eyes fell upon Nicole who was utterly out of it,she gulped nervously.
