Chapter 410 The secretary soon readied the contract. Noelle glanced at it and signed without hesitation. Then, she handed it over and demanded, "What are the clues?" Donovan's expression was stiff. "I thought you were cold-hearted and didn't care about finding who escaped back then." Noelle frowned. "Don't waste my time." "It tookyears to find even the smallest clue. It's related to the Merlocks." "The Merlocks? Samantha's family?" Donovan nodded. "That's right." Noelle thought about how the Merlocks had shielded Samantha. That meant the driver back then was most likely someone from the Merlock family, and they had a scapegoat to take the fall instead.

"Even if you know, you won't be able to investigate, Noelle. You're too weak on your own." Noelle jeered. "If I'm that weak, why are you still demanding that I work with you?" She watched as Donovan's expression instantly darkened. Her mood improved as she turned and left the company.

She hadn't expected the car accident to be connected to the Merlocks. Right now, she had to figure out how to investigate who from the Merlocks had been in Aldoria back then.

After returning to the training base, the production crew was still shooting on-site, but the number of onlookers had decreased significantly.

"You're late again, Noelle." Blake sat under a sunshade and watched her calmly. "Though you're my sister, it's not great for you to keep everyone waiting all the time, right?" Standing aside, Xenia was enjoying the spectacle. "That's right. You're the only one who hasn't filmed your scenes." Noelle's expression was icy. "I think it's fine. I'm not in a hurry." "What kind of attitude is that?" "I'm not your sister, so I should at least have that much dignity, right? The team has training later, so I don't have tfor filming." Noelle left after throwing those words behind and wasn't bothered by how ugly Blake's expression was. The pressure wouldn't be on her as long as she wasn't the one in a hurry, and she'd have Blake clean up the mess since he loved playing the role of a kind brother in public.

Once he couldn't take it anymore, he'd naturally stop making things difficult for her on purpose. Noelle had just returned to the office when Blake furiously stormed in. "You did that on purpose, Noelle!" "Yeah, I did. It's not my money they're wasting anyway," Noelle said, looking at him with a half-smile.

"Great. You've gotten smarter, but don't think you've won. We're filming outdoor scenes tonight; you won't have training then, will you?" Blake annoyedly snapped.

"Fine." Noelle hummed and agreed immediately. Since Blake wasn't planning to drag things out here, she had no interest in wasting twith him either. She didn't have tto waste, after all.

Blake left, still fuming. Grace then walked in with a smile. "Does this mean he won't keep dragging things along anymore?" "I guess so. Blake cares too much about his reputation, and there's no way he'll drag this out forever."

"But from the way he looked, I doubt he'll give up easily. You have to figure ly. You have to something out to deal with him soon, Noelle: You shouldn't make him threaten you like that."

Noelle nodded. "I've gathered dirt on him over the past few days. Once expose it, he'll be utterly hum humiliated and lose his chance at this year's Best Actor Award." After she spoke, she noticed a shadow outside the slightly ajar door. She looked over and called out, "Who's there?" No one answered, so Grace walked to the door and checked. "No one's here."

Around the corner, Xenie hid and glanced at the recording on herm phone with a triumphant smile. If Blake heard this, he'd definitely teach Noelle a lesson. "Noelle, you brought this on yourself," Xenia muttered inwardly.
