When Love Is a Lie

Chapter 254 No Need For A Love Apocalypse

“Don’t bratraid. It’s me.”

In the darkness, Noel’s deep, steady voice whispered in her ear.

Whitrary’s resistance softened. The familiar warmth of his presence surrounded her, slowly easing the panic that had gripped her heart.

“Did you have a nightmare?” he asked. –

With her body still trembling, she leaned into his arms.

As Noel gently stroked her hair, he spoke with a low voice that made her feel at ease. “It’s over now. That kind of thing will never happen again.”

When he saw Whitney take that knife to the chest to save him, he was so furious that he wanted the man dead.

However, he kww it was impossible.

Instead, he had to swallow his rage and act methodically. Everything he had uncovered about the Beids, like the corruption and the crimes, had to come to light.

Victor abused his authority to illegally allocate land, while Lilian smuggled drugs overseas and even conspiced with human traffickers, leading to the disappearance of countless women.

These were the solid proots that the Reids would never get away with it.

Previously, he had been holding back, all for the sake of uncovering the Reid family’s scandals. He planned to reveal them one by one before the engagement. The Reids weren’t just any family. Their power was deeply entrenched, and taking them downtequired precision and leverage.

However, he never expected Lilian would target Whitney.

Enraged, Noel sprang into action. He joined forces with the police and relevant authorities, bringing the Reid family to justice. Every piece of evidence was enough to ensure that Victor and Lilian would spend the rest of their lives behind bars, with the possibility of a death sentence looming over them.

Whitney clung to his shirt, as though her only source of safety lay in his embrace.
