Xenia screamed, "I was knocked unconscious and brought here by Noelle!" Noelle smirked and replied, "That's not true. We were discussing the event proposal together, and you fell asleep because it was getting late." "You're lying! You knockedunconscious and broughthere! You knew what was going to happen, so you did this on purpose to hurt me!" Xenia shouted.

She wished that she could kill Noelle right then and there.

Noelle then asked, "What do you mean by, 'I knew what was going to happen'? Do you have any proof?" "Of course, there's proof! The hallway has-" Surveillance cameras.

But Xenia suddenly remembered that she had ordered Gordon to turn off the cameras long ago so that she could erase any evidence of her presence. Now, she had no proof that Noelle had brought her here.

She was now at a loss for what to do.

Noelle's gaze turned cold. "You wanted to say there were surveillance cameras, correct? Sure, why not? Go and check the cameras.

"Hmm? Why did you stop talking, Xenia? Is it because you already know that Gordon turned them off earlier, so there's no evidence left?" Xenia was extremely guilty and naturally did not admit to the truth. "How could I possibly know that?! You're the one who turned off the cameras! It must be you!" Donovan was getting a headache. "So what exactly happened?" Noelle picked up the glass of milk beside her and explained, "Someone tampered with this milk, and drinking it would make you fall unconscious.

"Xenia and I just so happen to be discussing the event proposal, and she toldnot to lock my doors at night. And after that, the drunk Gordon barged into my room." Xenia immediately explained, "I don't know anything about this! You were the one who wanted to fire Gordon, making him resent you! That's why he did this!" She had already prepared an excuse beforehand.

Noelle nodded and replied, "You're right, that's what happened. But who would have thought that you'd fall asleep in my room? I just went to the bathroom for a moment, and then this happened." "That's not true!" Xenia immediately refuted her, as she had not fallen asleep.

Noelle pressed on. "So you're saying that I already knew that Gordon would cand assault me, so I deliberately brought you here to have you take my place?" Xenia naturally could not admit to that, so she lowered her head to cry pitifully. "Donovan, I remember that I was in my own room! It was Noelle who broughthere!" Noelle turned to Donovan and said, "Xenia fell asleep in my room all on her own. She remembered it wrong." Without surveillance footage as evidence, Xenia's claims were unproven. Xenia burst into tears. "Donovan, you have to believe me!" Noelle stared at Donovan with a mocking smile. "So even now, you still believe only Xenia's words, yes? Guess I really should leave. There's no way I could remain in this family any longer."

Donovan felt his headache getting worse. He did not dare to say m om anything, as given Noelle's temper, she might threaten to leave the family again if things did not go her way. Frank spoke up. "Let's wait until Gordon wakes up. We'll know the truth once we ask him. He might not even know who the girl on the bed was." Blake nodded and said, "Yeah, right, this is Noelle's room! It's obvious enough that he was going after Noelle." Xenia's heart sank as she realized that she would be exposed if they made Gordon talk.

She immediately suggested, "Let's lock Gordon up in the basement. I'd also like to ask him squestions myself tomorrow."

Blake immediately stepped forward and said, "There's no need to wait m until then wake him up nght now and NO ask him for the truth so that a certain someone won't have the chance to weasel their way out of this."

He had fallen for Xenia's tricks before, so he was determined to make sure that Donovan saw her true colors: He did not want to give Xenia spire the chance to amend her schemes. Blake immediately dragged Gordon into the bathroom and poured cold water over him.
