The Liddell family had just arrived, stepping out of the car. ke sat in a wheelchair, his face wrapped in bandages, looking seriously injured.


    The air was tense. ke started questioning Noelle. "Noelle, I''m your brother! You said you wanted to act, so I pulled some strings to get you a role.


    "I even helped you rehearse when you were struggling. And this is how you repay me? By stabbing me in the back?" ke yed the victim convincingly.


    Noelle remained calm. "Drop the act. This isn''t a film set. No one''s here for your performance."


    Cedric mocked, "ke, do you mean beating Noelle up when you say rehearsal?" ke looked guilty. "That was an ident. Noelle said she could handle pain."


    Xenia stepped in. "But ke was the one who was hurt the most! Noelle, how could you twist the truth in your live stream?"


    Cedric shot Xenia a look. "ke got hurt while running away when he heard the policeing. Why would he run if he had nothing to hide?"


    Xenia faltered. "Because he''s a public figure! He can''t afford any scandal since it would ruin his reputation."


    Noelle scoffed. "You provoked ke, making him believe I had dirt on him, which led him to attack me. Did you really think you''d walk away from this unscathed?"


    Xenia immediately lowered her head in feigned innocence. "I never did anything like that."


    ke nced at her. Noelle was right. Xenia had let him hear a recorded clip, making him think Noelle was collecting evidence against him. If not for that, he wouldn''t have lost control and fallen into her trap.


    Noticing ke''s gaze, Xenia shrank back, not daring to speak. Still, she was certain that ke wouldn''t expose her.


    Then, ke''s expression turned ugly when he saw Liam beside Noelle. "Noelle, you''ve got some nerve. You even convinced Liam to take your case."


    He never forgot Alfred had blocked the ambnce, dying his treatment. Who knew how long he would have been stuck before reaching the hospital if his manager hadn''t begged and pleaded for a friend to send a helicopter?


    Then, the scars on his face wouldn''t be as severe. And it was all because of Noelle.


    Noelle remained indifferent. "I''m not the same child who would just take the beating. I hope you remember that."


    She walked past ke without a nce, her features cold and distant.


    "Noelle, you abandoned me once when we were kids. I nearly died back then. I would''ve dealt with you long ago if you weren''t my sister." ke finally began to panic seeing Liam by her side.


    Noelle had already taken control of TG Public Rtions, and now Liam was representing her. His chances of winning were slim.


    ke turned and red at Noelle. "You owed me a life back then. Now you''re trying to kill me again?"


    "When did I ever owe you a life?" Noelle had heard ke say this multiple times before.


    Xenia interrupted, "ke, let''s go inside. We shouldn''t waste any more time." Cedric red at her. "Why are you in such a rush to change the subject? Are you involved in what happened back then, too?"


    "Nonsense! I had nothing to do with it!" Xenia paled with fear. She would be done if ke ever found out the truth.


    ke spoke up. "That''s right. Xenia was the one who saved me back then. But Noelle? She left me in a dark alley and even pointed the gangsters in my direction! Am I wrong?"


    A sudden realization shed in Noelle''s eyes. She stared intently at Xenia. "So that''s what you told ke?"


    It was as expected.
