Chapter 391 Cedric knew exactly what had happened back then.

Sean hadn't saved anyone after the incident. Instead, he'd run off.

Cedric had gone over to check the situation and pulled Noelle out from under the car.

Noelle stared at Cedric beside her and was startled. Why would he say something like that? Frank frowned. "You know nothing. Only Noelle was left crying by the roadside in the car accident. Mr. Quigley and my parents died in the explosion, and Mr. Quigley's body was found near the car door. It was clear he returned to save them." Noelle knew that that was the conclusion of the police investigation, but why was Cedric questioning it now? Cedric avoided Noelle's eyes when he met her questioning gaze. "Maybe it was spasserby who helped." He couldn't understand why Sean had turned back either. It might've been the latter's last pang of conscience, but now that he was dead, no one could ever know the truth.

Frank countered, "That's impossible. That road was newly established. There were no cameras around, and hardly anyone passed by." Noele turned to Cedric. "It's a shI can't remember what happened during the accident. Otherwise, I'd know who pulledout." She wouldn't have ended up sitting on the side of the road crying for no reason. Someone must've saved her. Cedric's gaze was dark and unreadable. In the end, he said nothing more because he couldn't possibly tell the truth that he'd been present at the scene.

Frank spoke with conviction. "This has been investigated thoroughly, Noelle. Sean saved you, and that's the truth though you might have issues with her." Though Xenia had questionable character, it didn't change the fact that Sean had done the Liddells a great favor. Noelle's eyes filled with mockery. "I've never denied that. Looking at the life Xenia has had with the Liddells all these years and comparing it to mine, I don't think I owe her anything." Her tone was cold. Xenia had killed her in her past life, and she owed no one in the Liddell family anything.

Frank gave a bitter smile. He understood that all too well.

Noelle coldly continued, "If you want to repay her favor, do it yourselves. Don't draginto this." With that, she grabbed Cedric and walked off.

Frank had wanted to stop Cedric from approaching Noelle, but he dared not go after them at this point. He could tell that if he did piss Noelle off, she might completely cut ties with him.

Shortly after, she received a call from Blake. "Frank, I heard you sent Noelle home." "I did. She can't stay in the hospital forever, can she?" "I'll go to her after work. There's something I need to clarify. She's now suing Lucas. His career is ruined, and he's now a laughingstock." Frank sighed somewhat helplessly. "This isn't Noelle's fault. Lucas and Xenia brought this on themselves." "Isn't this Lucas' doing? What does Xenia have to do with it?" "That's what Xenia told you, wasn't it?" Frank questioned in return. He could guess Xenia must've pulled her tricks and would never admit the truth to Blake.

"I understand you don't like Xenia, but you can't doubt her just because you're leaning toward Noelle." Frank decided to tell the truth. "Xenia copied Noelle's files, and Lucas saw it happen without stopping her." Blake hesitated briefly before replying, "That doesn't sound possible." Xenia had always seemed obedient and considerate. She'd never had to be taught to behave.

"There's video evidence of it, and you just have to check the records at the police station, Xenia orchestrated the whole thing, and it had nothing to do with Noelle."

With that, Frank hung up the phone. He wouldn't allow the Liddell family to-fall to fall apart no matter what. The six The siblings had to stay united. He resolved to sort out all misunderstandings of the past.

Noelle and Cedric returned to the apartment. Though the former was in a poor mood, she didn't let it show in front of Cedric. She glanced at him and said, "Sorry about the mess. I've been busy these past few days and haven't had tto clean up." "Did you visit Frank at the hospital?" Cedric asked.
