Chapter 214

"It's a message from Frank," Noelle said. "He knows the security footage is damaged and says he'll clear things

up with the police. Anyways, | don't care."

The Liddells were experts at winning people over with small favors, but she wasn't about to be swayed, let alone

turn back. Cedric saw the determination in her expression and knew she wouldn't be easily bullied, even if she

had to live alone in Yasnia.

After sending the message, Frank tried calling Noelle again. However, no one picked up.

He thought that Noelle would at least pick up the phone and listen to him after receiving his message. However,

she didn't even answer his call.

Donovan scoffed. "What's the matter? Is Noelle too guilty to pick up?"

"Donovan, Noelle's not like that. Besides, given the circumstances, you can't just take Xenia's word for it and

blNoelle," Frank replied firmly.

"Frank, | think you've been brainwashed by Noelle. Xenia is injured like this, and you're still saying Noelle's not at

fault? I'm starting to suspect Noelle had something to do with the surveillance camera being broken," Donovan

retorted.

He had expected the surveillance footage to clear everything up, yet the cameras malfunctioned at such a

crucial moment.

Xenia coughed tically. "Donovan, let's just drop it. | don't want to press the issue any further."

She couldn't help but feel relieved. The broken camera was a blessing in disguise. She had already thought of

how to justify herself, but now she didn't need to.

If the footage had been restored, she could have been in trouble.

Donovan was pleased with how magnanimous Xenia was. "You're just too kind."

Yet, Frank wasn't convinced. "Xenia, are you sure it was Noelle who pushed you down the stairs?"

Xenia stammered, "Y-yes, that's right."

"According to your description, Noelle was at the bottom of the stairs, and you were at the top. How could she

have pushed you down?" Frank questioned. Xenia's explanation didn't make sense.

She lowered her head nervously. "I just wanted to talk to Noelle, but she suddenly got emotional and yanked me,

causingto lose balance."

"Didn't you say Noelle pushed you down the stairs?" Frank pressed, noticing the inconsistency in her story.

If Noelle had really yanked her, why hadn't she mentioned that word instead of "push"? It didn't add up.

Xenia panicked. She was afraid Frank would catch onto the discrepancy. She faked a cough, hoping to cover her

tracks.

Donovan interrupted, "Frank, what's with all the questioning? This feels like an interrogation."

"| just want to get to the truth," Frank insisted.

"Can't you see? The two of them had a conflict, and one thing led to another. It's not that complicated," Donovan

said dismissively.

Frank was exhausted. "Donovan, you can't just blNoelle. This isn't right."

"Enough. You've been brainwashed by Noelle and are just enabling her," Donovan shot back.

Frank stormed out of the room, feeling frustrated and upset. Why couldn't Donovan just believe what he was

saying?

He was starting to realize that Xenia

Noticing Noelle's distracted expression, Cedric raised an eyebrow. "What are you thinking about?"

Noelle's gaze flickered. "Did you cto Yasnia to see your girlfriend?"
