Chapter 301: Michelle Evil Scheme
Before going to bed, Crystal released the first series of photos and videos showing Clark having fun with his mother, and like all the media that went before them, they went viral. The snowball fight video was particularly touching, and by the morning, it was all that anyone was talking about.
The tide of public opinion had turned once more, and once again, it was Paul’s word that people were suspicious of. Unfortunately, things were not as one-sided as they once were. The public was now divided between those who supported Paul and those who supported Nancy, and #TeamPaul and #TeamNancy was trending on all Social media. One thing about Paul’s followers, though, is that many of them were bots, and those that were not had been misled by his propaganda.
Paul had a tech-savvy team that supported him. They created fake news and made it go viral. They went into chat rooms and stirred up animosity towards Nancy, and his bots voted against her in online polls. Of course, Nathan hired people to defend Nancy, but he was limited by her decision that they would only tell the truth. If that were not the case, the battle between them would not have been as close as it was. As it was, the two opponents were standing neck-and-neck.
However, everything changed when a doctor came forward and said that Michelle had been admitted to the hospital where he worked. According to his police statement, she had suffered severe burns to seventy percent of her face and a blow to the bridge of her nose. Two of her front teeth had been knocked out, and she had a broken leg.
Suddenly, #TeamPaul and #TeamNancy was a thing of the past. #SupportMichelle was everywhere.
Michelle had been abandoned in a secluded place in Paul’s backyard, and by the time she was found, she had been in a coma for a long time. Furthermore, her wounds were severely inflamed and infected. “She is being treated in the Intensive Care Unit,” he concluded.
The doctor’s statement was leaked to the media, and when it aired, they showed a video of Michelle. She could be seen lying on a hospital bed, and so much of her body was wrapped in gauze that she looked like a mummy.
The screen split suddenly. On the left side, an image of Nancy and Noah appeared. On the left, there was an interview with a police officer being live-streamed. The officer looked into the camera and said, “If you have seen either of these individuals, we will encourage you to contact your local police station or dial 9-1-1.”
After that, there were a series of clips from interviews. An old lady that lived next door to Paul said that she had heard a heartbreaking cry for help on the same day that Michelle had been hurt. A young lady who lived nearby also claimed that she had heard the screams.
Several servants testified that Nancy had instructed her bodyguards to pour boiling water over Michelle’s head.

Outside of the hospital, Michelle’s fans held a vigil by candlelight. There was a giant poster of her on the wall, and beneath it, there were flowers and plush toys, cards, jewelry, and an assortment of other items of significance. They were all praying that she would have a swift recovery.
Inside the hospital, Michelle’s doctor was carefully removing the gauze from her face, and she smiled when she saw her reflection in the mirror. The burns had covered seventy percent of her face, but there would only be a minimal amount of scarring. Her nose had been repaired, and her two false teeth looked real.
As she examined her face, the doctor pulled out an apple from his pocket. He polished it on his shirt and began to cut it up.
“It’s a miracle!” Michelle exclaimed. She turned to the doctor and said, “Thank you so much!”
“You’re welcome.” The doctor smiled. He stuck a piece of apple into Michelle’s mouth and said, “In a few months, once the swelling has gone down, you will barely even notice the scars.”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Michelle touched his chest and let her fingers slide down his body, and when she got to his belt, she gave it a seductive tug. “Whatever can I do to repay you?”
“I have an idea,” the doctor replied. He quickly closed the blinds and went to the foot of the bed. Then he pulled up the quilt and began to kiss her toes, and it wasn’t long before he was sucking on them.
Michelle moaned. “Baby, you are so nice to me!”
The doctor looked up, and her big toe slipped out of his mouth. He smiled and said, “I would do anything for you. I have been a fan of yours since you first began your modeling career. I’ll never forget your spread in Victoria’s Secret magazine…”
Michelle smiled and wriggled her toes playfully, but just as he began to lick in between her big toe and her index toe, somebody knocked on the door.
The doctor quickly covered her feet, smoothed out the quilt, and stood up. “Come in,” he said.
It was one of the nurses. She came over and whispered something into the doctor’s ear. He nodded grimly and promised, “I’ll check on it. Is there anything else,” he asked irritably.
The nurse hesitated for a moment, and then she said, “There are a lot of Michelle’s fans outside the hospital. They are holding a candlelight vigil, and they have brought presents. Should I let them in?”
“Absolutely not!” the doctor exclaimed.
“The patient needs rest. They are not allowed to come in.”
“But I want those gifts,” Michelle interrupted. “And I want to tell my fans that I’m on the mend. I don’t want them to worry about me.”
The doctor coughed and said, “Fine.” He turned to the nurse and instructed her to bring the presents in.
Very quickly, the room was filled with flowers, fruits, and dolls that had been modeled in Michelle’s image.
When Paul had seen the images of Michelle abusing Clark, he had been inclined to believe what he was seeing. Then, when it seemed that she had run out on him, her guilt seemed like a certain thing. Now that he knew what Nancy had done to her, though, it was clear to him who the real victim was.
Now that he knew “the truth,” he called the hospital and asked the doctor to take care of Michelle, and before hanging up, he said, “Please ask her to call me as soon as she wakes up.”
Paul ended the call without saying goodbye, and he called his bodyguard, who had been sitting in the hallway.
“What’s up?” The bodyguard asked.
“I want Michelle’s room guarded 24/7,” Paul replied. “Who knows what Nancy is capable of….”
