Noelle''s tone turned cold. "Do you think there''s anything I wouldn''t dare to do?"
"You''ve really ruined us all, Noelle! You''re a jinx of our family! You''ve even ruined Donovan''s whole n! How are we supposed to find the murderer and avenge our parents now?" ke asked.
Noelle had no idea Donovan had some sort of n in motion. "What do you mean?"
When she struck a deal with Donovan that day, he had never mentioned such a n before.
ke continuedshing out at her hysterically. "So you only bother to ask about it now? It''s toote! You''re the one that caused our parents to die! And now you''re also the one obstructing Donovan''s n to avenge them. If you''re not a jinx, then what are you?"
Just then, Donovan walked into the hospital room and snatched away ke''s phone. "Listen, Noelle, aside from Frank, I arranged every one of your older brother''s careers on purpose.
"It was all so that when we finally found a lead, we could capture the murderer and make them pay for what they''ve done to our parents."
Noelle sneered and replied, "Are you seriously trying to use our parents on me again?"
"I''m not lying to you this time," Donovan replied.
Both ends of the phone call fell silent for a short while, and Donovan continued, "Noelle, our family has gone through a lot to get to this point. What happened with ke could have been handled in private. There was no reason for this to go viral and ruin his career."
"Hah! And you''re only telling me this now? Don''t you think it just sounds
ridiculous?" replied Noelle before hanging up.
She did not believe Donovan''s words in the slightest.
If such a grand n really existed, he would have already mentioned it when the incident with Lucas had happened.
Tilly asked, "Ms. Liddell, do you really have photos of ke''s disfigured face?"
Noelle did not think about taking pictures at the time. "No, I don''t. I just lied about it. He wouldn''t dare to take that gamble anyway."
It was because ke''s face was covered in blood. It was horrifying to look at, and it was beyond what she had expected.
She was not the type to hold onto leverage to threaten people.
However, since ke threatened her by endangering the people around her, she had no choice but to deliberately make a threat of her own.
"Alright, then. We''ll handle the media response. You can just focus on resting up for now, Ms. Liddell," Tilly replied.
"Okay. Thanks for your hard work."
"It''s nothing, Ms. Liddell. This is our job, after all."
Tilly immediately left the room with her team. It was now their turn on the battlefield, and they had to make sure that they won this very first battle.
Noelle was now alone in her room, and she soon received a message from Cedric. "What are you doing?"
She replied, "I just finished the live stream. Right now, I''m just on my phone watching thements tear each other apart."
"There''s no need to look at thements. It''ll only put you in a bad mood. Go outside and get some fresh air instead. I''ll be backter to keep youpany."
Noelle felt a little better after reading his reply.
...
Two dayster, Noelle was notified to go to the police station.
Cedric made sure to apany her. Back in the car, he held her hand and said, "Mr. Rodrick will be with us shortly. If there''s anything that you don''t understand, just ask him about it."
"Alright," she replied.
Noelle then nced down at their intertwined fingers before turning to look out the window, the corners of her mouth lifting up into a smile.
They soon arrived outside of the police station.
Noelle got out of the car wearing a hat and a mask as she was worried about being photographed by media reporters.
But when she noticed that almost nobody was waiting outside the police station, she finally rxed a bit.
She then headed into the police station and joined Liam to cooperate with the police''s questioning session.
The whole session did not take very long.
Noelle soon walked out of the police station with Liam, only to find that the Liddells were already there, waiting outside.
