Chapter 226 Noelle struggled free and ran desperately down the hallway. She saw the elevator doors open and rushed inside.

Leaning against the elevator, she gritted her teeth and took out her phone, unsure who to call. While running, she decided to call the police.

"She's over there! Don't let her escape!" Noelle had been cornered at the end of the hallway. She turned to face the two bodyguards closing in on her. "I've already called the police. They'll be here soon." "It won't matter. No one can save you." "Young lady, this is not a place for you. Chere now!" Noelle stood near the wall, barely able to keep her balance as the bodyguards drew closer. At that moment, the door to a nearby private room opened. Without thinking, she rushed inside and smashed a decorative vase.

"I'll pay for the damage, but I must go to the hospital first!" She figured that if these bodyguards were so wary of this room, the people inside must be influential. If she broke something, they would demand compensation, buying her stime. She would be safe if she could get out of here.

She had little strength left and was almost collapsing on the floor. She barely had the energy to look up, but she noticed a few men in the room.

"Nelly, is that really you?" Alfred had thought he was hearing things, but when he opened the door, a woman rushed in and smashed the antique vase! Noelle heard the familiar voice and struggled to look up, meeting Alfred's eyes. Before she could react, someone was in front of her, lifting her from the broken shards of the vase.

Cedric was both angry and concerned. "What happened?" Upon hearing his voice, Noelle finally smiled. "So it's you guys." She felt relieved, thinking she would be fine now. The next second, she looked at Cedric with a pitiful expression and complained, "Someone bullied me!" He noticed the strong smell of alcohol on her and the unnatural redness on her face. He could immediately tell what had happened. His face darkened, and he looked toward the hallway.

Alfred understood instantly. "Don't worry. I'll handle this. Everyone, cwith me!" He led the others out of the room. Curious, the two men asked, "Who's that woman?" "I must be dreaming. Is Ced really this gentle? He even hugged a woman!" Alfred cleared his throat. "Don't ask about things you don't need to know. We have more important matters to deal with." How did Noelle's simple dinner end up like this? Meanwhile, the two bodyguards cautiously spoke, "We work at the hotel. The woman owes us money. She was supposed to repay it by accompanying us for drinks, but she ran away." Alfred's expression turned cold when he heard this. "Watch your words. Who do you think you are to spread rumors about her?" Their dishonesty made him want to deal with them physically. Inside the Pom, Noelle clung to Cedric, rubbing her face against his neck.

Cedric held her hand down. "What happened? Didn't I warm you about drinking outside?" "Are you scolding me?" Noelle looked at him with red eyes, looking downright pitiful.

His anger evaporated, and he spoke gently. "I'm just concerned about you." "Xenia setup. She sprayed something onthat madefeel hot and weak."

Cedric's suspicions were confirmed after he heard her explanation, He removed his jacket and wrapped it around her, picking her up in his arms as he left the private room.

Alfred stepped on the two bodyguards and spoke goldly. These two are lying and refusing to say who they're working for." Cedric felt like a dangerous predator.
