No longer a pushover

Chapter 255

"My baby daughter, what's the matter?"

Xenia gripped the phone and made her request. "I need you to help me destroy a piece of surveillance footage. Go to the police station and steal it."

"Did you leave behind any evidence? I can help you, but you blocked me last time, and that really hurt."

"Enough with the talk! Help me this one time, and I won't block you again. I'll make sure you get something out of it."

Xenia was desperate. The only person she could think of was this man who claimed to be her father, though his background remained unclear.

It didn't matter if he was truly her father-if he could help her, then she'd use him. "No problem. I'll take care of it."

The call ended, and Xenia immediately deleted the call history.

"What happened? Don't cry, calm down."

"Frank came to check on Noelle earlier, asking about her at school. They got into an argument, and Frank fainted from anger. What should I do?"
