Noelle could hear soundsing from outside, but her vision waspletely dark.


    Cedric''s coat was draped over her, shielding her from everything outside. She felt much calmer now. At least she was certain she was safe.


    His lips curled when he saw the two bodyguards lying on the floor. "Since they won''t speak, let''s ensure they never do."


    The bodyguards, seeing Cedric holding Noelle, turned pale with fear. Who would''ve expected this woman to be saved by the rich bachelor of Yasnia? Wasn''t she an orphan with no parents?


    Cedric held Noelle as they left in the private elevator. She leaned against his chest, her head covered with his suit jacket, unable to see what was happening outside.


    Her mind felt like a mess. Her hand tightly gripped his cor, her knuckles turning pale.


    As they rode the elevator down, Samantha was running up the stairs. She saw Cedric entering the elevator, holding a woman in his arms. Although the coat almost covered the whole body, it was clear that it was a woman!


    She was startled and hid by the side. She had been waiting for the bodyguards but couldn''t wait any longer and wanted to check on the situation.


    To her surprise, she saw Cedric. What was going on? Was he with another woman?


    Where did that bitch, Noelle, go? Just as Samantha was about to step out, she was blocked by the bodyguards.


    She red at them. "Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me!"


    She had clearly seen Cedric with another woman. This matter had to be investigated and reported to Laura. She couldn''t let some lowly woman take advantage of this situation.


    However, the bodyguards firmly blocked her, not letting her get any closer. She stomped her foot in frustration. "Get out of my way!"


    Xenia walked over and asked, "Ms. Merlock, what''s going on?"


    "These people are blocking me. My sister is Mr. Greene''s fiancee. If he finds out you''re stopping me, you''ll regret it!"


    When Xenia heard the name "Mr. Greene," her eyes immediately lit up. "You mean Mr. Greene is in that private room?"


    He was from the wealthiest family in Yasnia, with wealth and status beyond measure. She would be thrilled if she had the chance.


    Samantha sighed in frustration.


    "Yes, he doesn''t like being disturbed. He clears the ce wherever he goes and doesn''t let irrelevant people get near. I don''t know where


    that bitch, Noelle, ran off to


    "Ms. Merlock, Noelle must be hiding somewhere. Once Mr. Greene leaves, we''ll definitely find her!"


    "Hmph! This time, I''ll ruin Noelle''s reputation. She''ll never dare go against me again."


    Xenia felt pleased after hearing Samantha''s words. Once they had those videos of Noelle, they could control herpletely.


    From now on, Noelle would never escape from her grasp, and Noelle would never dare topete with her for anything.


    Xenia eagerly anticipated that day.


    In the private room at the end of the hallway, Alfred wiped the blood from his


    hands and spoke slowly. "You guys really have guts."


    They had offended someone close to his heart.


    "Mr. Parham, we are from the Merlock family. We were just following Ms. Merlock''s orders to catch that woman."


    "Tsk! The Merlock family is nothing!"


    Alfred had long heard of Samantha''s group, known for ying these tricks at school. They had caused trouble before, but the Merlock family


    always cleaned it up. This tim no


    however, they had run into a wall.


    He quickly called Cedric. "We''ve figured it out. These two bodyguards work for Samantha. They had some conflict with Nelly, so they deliberately set her up."


    "Got it. Take care of those two bodyguards."


    Since the bodyguards had seen who he was, there was no reason for


    them to stay. After hanging up,


    Cedrie turned to look at Noelle lying on the hotel bed, his gaze as dark as
