Donovan sneered, "That's right. Are you scared now? Hurry up and leave that brat. Come over and apologize to Xenia!"
"Apologize? Dream on!" Noelle replied.
Soon, the police arrived. Xenia quickly started to feign pain and said, "It hurts so much."
Donovan pointed at Noelle and said, "She hurt my sister."
Since Noelle refused to admit her mistake, he would let the police teach her a lesson today so she wouldn't cause any more trouble in the future.
Xenia's eyes glinted with satisfaction. She was determined to make sure Noelle got arrested today. Xenia was certain that once Noelle had a criminal record, she wouldn't stand a chance against her anymore.
Xenia feigned innocence. "Noelle, I would have forgiven you if you just apologized. I can't help you anymore now."
"Xenia, you're too kind. Noelle doesn't deserve your forgiveness," Donovan said.
"Donovan, we're family. We can't just let Noelle go down the wrong path!" Xenia said, putting on a sad expression.
The police turned to Noelle after hearing everything and said coldly, "Miss, you're suspected of intentional harm. Please come with us for questioning."
Cedric's expression turned icy. "I dare anyone to touch her!" he said firmly.
Donovan smirked. "Kid, this is Yasnia. Get a grip."
Cedric wasn't fazed. "So what?" he replied calmly.
Noelle placed her hand on Cedric's and addressed the police. "There was intentional injury here, but I didn't do it. She did," she said, pointing at Xenia.
Xenia's face went pale. "What are you talking about? You can't just blame me," she stammered. Since no one had seen what happened, Xenia assumed no one would believe Noelle's words.
