Chapter 419

    Frank smiled bitterly. "Noelle was also taken to the hospital for emergency treatment."


    Donovan''s voice immediately shrank down as his expression became twisted. "What? She''s hurt as well?"


    Frank was furious. "Don''t you know about ke''s temper, Donovan? How could Noelle not get hurt? Donovan, you''ve never even asked about Noelle from the very beginning. She''s our sister, too, you know?"


    Moreover, the live stream clearly showed that ke started the fight.


    Donovan quickly exined, "But Noelle''s quite skilled as well. Who knows who would win if they fought?"


    Xenia spoke up. "Donovan, Noelle''s only suffered minor external injuries, but ke was so gravely injured that he even got disfigured! It''s going to be difficult to make a full recovery! What will he do from now on?"


    "His face is ruined?" Donovan did not expect things to be that bad.


    Looks were everything in the entertainment industry, and if ke''s appearance was ruined, his career would also be over. Donovan finally approached the unconscious ke. He immediately fell silent upon seeing the scars on ke''s


    face.


    He then turned to look at Frank furiously. "Can''t you see the injuries on ke''s face? Why are you still siding with Noelle?"


    "I can see ke''s injuries just fine, Donovan, but this has nothing to do with Noelle," Frank replied.


    "How could it have nothing to do with her? It was all caught on the live stream!"


    Frank replied helplessly. "But it was ke that started the fight, was it not?"


    He became so worked up that he could not help but cough. Donovan was furious, but he did not want to argue further with Frank. He knew that the reason all of his younger brothers were in such a sorry state was all rted to Noelle.


    Just then, the police entered the room and said, "Is Mr. ke still unconscious? We''ll need to take his statementter."


    Donovan frowned and replied, "ke is innocent! Noelle deliberately set up the live stream to ruin his career!"


    "Sir, we will investigate the facts of the case ourselves," the police replied.


    Donovan could no longer contain his anger. "Can''t you see just how badly ke is hurt? Meanwhile, Noelle only suffered external injuries! Isn''t it obvious who''s in a worse state?"


    The police exined, "ording to our investigation, Mr. ke was injured when he fell into a construction pit while trying to escape. His injuries have nothing to do with the victim, Noelle."


    Donovan was shocked. "It really has nothing to do with Noelle?"


    It was not what Xenia had told him. Donovan instinctively turned to look at Xenia, and she immediately exined, "It was extremely dark at the time, Donovan. I didn''t really see how exactly ke got hurt."


    Frank scoffed and said, "Xenia''s always been lying, Donovan, and you just believe everything she says without even questioning it. Meanwhile, you never even trusted Noelle! Mom and Dad would be sad if they saw this!"


    Donovan was starting to get emotional. "Mom and Dad would be sad, you say? When our family ran into problems with money, I was the one who raised all of you!"


    Xenia hurriedly exined, "I wasn''t at the scene when it happened, Frank. I only realized what had happened when the police arrived! ke was already like this when they carried him out of the building, which is why I mistakenly thought that it was rted to Noelle."


    Frank pressed on. "So you''ve never seen anything! Then, why did you tell Donovan misleading details that made him think Noelle was the one that hurt ke?"


    Xenia took a step back and hesitated. "I didn''t do that."


    Frank grew angrier the more he spoke. "Every time something happens, you deliberately twist the truth to smear Noelle! The reason our family has been falling apart is all because of you manipting us, Xenia! We should have never taken you into our family!"


    Donovan immediately stepped in front of Frank and said, "That''s going too far, Frank! Xenia''s father died saving our parents. We have a duty to take care of her!"


    "Exactly, which is why I''ve treated Xenia well in the past. But now, I never thought that she''d turn out to be such an ungrateful monster!" Frank replied.
