NovelReadingChapter 252 Meanwhile, Noelle arrived at the designated cafe by taxi. It was still early, and the streets only had a few pedestrians.
Noelle entered the cafe and spotted a figure with a laptop. That must be J-he had mentioned bringing one.
She took a deep breath and walked over, but as she got closer, the figure seemed oddly familiar.
When Noelle sat down and looked at the face before her, she froze. "Cedric, why are you here?" "Why, are you surprised to see me? I didn't expect you to be someone who liked seeking out mentors back then." As soon as Cedric saw Noelle walk in, he had a feeling it was her.

Cedric stood up. "Since you're here early, have something to eat first." He ordered milk and a small cake for her.
However, Noelle wasn't in the mood for food. Her eyes were fixed on his laptop. "Is the surveillance video really restored?" "It is," Cedric replied calmly. "But eat first. The video isn't going anywhere, and neither is the culprit." Noelle took a couple of bites of the cake and said, "If I had known you were J, I would've cto you sooner." "You knew it could be dangerous. Why didn't you tell me?" "I didn't want to drag you into this. Besides, you're leaving in a few days. This kind of mess would only disrupt your life." Noelle didn't want Cedric to offend those powerful people because of her.
Cedric understood, but there was still something he couldn't tell her his true identity.
He opened his laptop. "Here's the surveillance video." Noelle glanced at the footage, and sure enough, it showed the moment when Xenia sprayed something on her. It also captured Samantha's involvement, including when she ordered the bodyguards to grab her.
Noelle smiled faintly. "Thanks." This evidence couldn't have cat a better time.
Just then, Frank strode over with a dark expression. "Noelle, why are you still in contact with this school doctor?" He hadn't expected to see Noelle so at ease with Cedric, laughing and talking like old friends.
Xenia followed closely behind, putting on a concerned face. "Noelle, Frank only wants the best for you. There are so many promising young men in Yasnia. Why settle for a poor school doctor?" Noelle picked up the small cake and slammed it directly into her face.
She might as well settle both old and new grudges at once.
Xenia screamed, "Noelle, what are you doing?" Noelle's eyes glinted coldly. "Compared to what you sprayed onat the bar that night, this small cake is practically a gift!" "I don't know what nonsense you're spouting. When did I ever spray anything on you?" Xenia felt a pang of guilt, but there was no way she would admit it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Merlocks had deleted the surveillance footage-there was no way Noelle could have any evidence! But Frank pressed further, "Noelle, are you saying Xenia sprayed something on you at the bar?"
"That's right. Everyone knows what that stuff was. Samantha was there m too-she even sent bodyguards to grabif it weren't for Cedric, you'd be looking at a version ofwho had been drugged, sexually assaulted, and filmed!" Noelle's eyes, dark and full of rage, bore into Xenia with a chilling intensity.
Frank turned to Xenia, his voice sharp. "Why didn't you tellabout any of this?"
"Frank, I didn't do anything like that! Noelle is making this up. She's always dislikedand can't wait to seedriven out of the Liddell family!" Xenia maintained her pitiful act, though her face, smeared with cake, made her look utterly ridiculous. Frank's expression darkened. "I'm asking you one last time. Are Noelle's accusations true or not?"
"They're not true! Noelle is lying! She has no evidence!" Xenia wiped the cake off her face, looking frantic, but refusing to confess. "Who says I don't have evidence? I recovered the deleted surveillance footage!" Noelle spun the laptop around and played the restored video.
The moment Xenia saw the footage, a wave of despair washed over her.
It was over.
Completely over.
