NovelOnlineChapter 402 This was why the Liddells hadn't told Noelle the truth back then. Noelle frowned. "I'm an adult, and I'm not a child anymore. I have the right to know the truth." "Fine. Blake told you there was someone else in the car, right? Based on our findings, the person in the car was either rich or powerful. It must've been someone from a renowned family in Yasnia." "Did you not find out who it was?" Frank shook his head. "No. That road was newly built, and the surveillance cameras weren't operational yet. Plus, it was at night, so the person in the car must've escaped under the cover of the dark." "But if they were just a passenger, they weren't the ones driving, right?" The driver would've been the one running the red light.
Frank nodded. "That's true, but the fact that they ran away makessuspect they were the ones behind the wheel. Why else would they flee?" Noelle agreed that made sense. Why else would they run unless they had something to hide? She frowned. "But I can't remember anything from that night, and I don't even know if the driver was the culprit. Are you disappointed in me?" It'd been her birthday, and their parents had forgotten to buy her a cake. She'd thrown a tantrum about wanting cake, so her parents had taken the newly built road to save time, and that was when the accident happened.

Frank's expression changed drastically. "Donovan, why are you here?" "It's a good thing I came, or I wouldn't have known Noelle had the audacity to ask that." Donovan turned to glare coldly at Noelle. "Just because Blake let something slip, you think finding the culprit will redeem you? Does that bring our parents back?" Noelle's eyes were instantly red. Frank stepped in front of her. "That's harsh, Donovan. She was just a child; how is it her fault?" "That's right. Noelle may be a little rebellious now, but she'll understand with sproper teachings." Blake tried to smooth things over. One way or another, they could ther.
Donovan snorted. "There's nothing I can do about that. She's grown wings now, hasn't she?" His tone was laced with sarcasm.
Blake smirked and turned to Noelle. "Now that's your fault, Noelle. When you made that mistake, we all hid the truth and bore the pain for you. Donovan insisted on coming to Yasnia to track the culprit, but what did you do?" Noelle forced back her tears. Then, she met Blake's gaze and said, "I didn't force them into doing anything illegal. How is that my fault?" "I understand. Lucas and Xenia caused that mess. Xenia has apologized, and now we just need Lucas to do the same.
"Why don't we work together as a family? Shall we stand firm in Yasnia and find the culprit to avenge our parents?" "I'll handle the revenge myself, but I have no say in the lawsuit," Noelle stated. She knew what Blake was trying to do, and she wasn't going to fall for it.
Blake sighed and turned to Lucas. "Honestly, how could you have fallen for Xenia's terrible ideas? No wonder you ended up taking the fall." Lucas remained silent, while Donovan was displeased. "What do you mean by that? Xenia is young, and her father died trying to save our parents. We can't send her to prison, can we?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You just care too much about your pride, Donovan. We've repaid our om debt to Xenia over the years, and let's not forget Noelle is our sister. Xenia deserves a lesson after everything she's done behind the scenes."
Blake realized Xenia's true colors only after seeing the video footage. If she hadn't saved his life, he would've long En kicked her out of the Liddell family. Donovan frowned. "That's not an option. We've decided that Lucas will take the blame." Blake turned to Lucas and urged, "Say something. Your bail period is running out, and if you don't say anything now, it'll be too late."
Lucas lifted his head with difficulty and looked at Noelle. He'd lost m everything after all this time, and it was only now he realized how wrong he'd been. Noelle didn't bother glancing at him and walked to the door of the ward.
Donovan spoke up, "Actually, I've found a clue on the person who ran away that night." "Who is it?" Noelle's heart clenched as she turned back.
"I can tell you what the clue is, but Lucas can't go to prison. This is your choice to make."
