Chapter 285

Noelle's expression remained icy. "Get it straight. You and Samuel planned to harm me, and you're the real culprit here. If anyone deserves to suffer, it's you, not me!"

"This has been your fault from the beginning, Noelle. Why didn't you help me in the first place?"

"Why should I? Now that Samuel is caught, all the videos and pictures will be deleted. They never leaked. If you're too stupid to see that, who else is to blame?"

"Come with us to clear this up. Otherwise, we're gonna have to send you to the police."
