No longer a pushover

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, I 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 blame Noelle," Frank replied firmly.

"Frank, I 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.
