Chapter 214 Chapter 214 Kimberlys emotions were in turmoil.
Looking at Leias tear streaked face, she found it hard to believe that their adopted daughter of over a decade would poison Vincent.
After all, they had never neglected her in all these years.
Even after Noelle returned, they hadnt cut back on anything they provided for Leia .
And despite the occasional arguments, where Vincent Isaid scolded Leia a few times, they had eventually reconciled.
Kimberly couldnt fathom why Leia would suddenly decide to poison Vincent.
It was something she simply couldnt accep In her mind, no person with a conscience could commit such a heinous act.
After a moment of contemplation, Kimberly turned to Noelle and asked Noelle.
are you sure! Did Leia really go downstairs during the power outage ? Positive, Noelle replied firmly, nodding .
I can tell whether she cupstairs from downstairs or went downstairy from upstairs .
She was in a panic when she ran upstairs.
No, I didnt.
Leias emotions flared up again.
Her eyes were red, and tears streamed down her cheeks as she screamed at Noelle, Why are you framing! I never went downstairs.
Just because theres no surveillance, youre making things up, right? If you really want to kill me, just do it. Theres no need to pin such an outrageous cron me.
Even in death, III die with a clear conscience and wont let you tamish my reputation.
Youre still denying it Noelle said, her eyes flashing with anger and a murderous intent bubbling beneath the surface.
If you dont believe me, lets check for fingerprints.
There will definitely be yours on the lid.
Are you ever going to stop? Leia screeched at the mention of fingerprints.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo what if there are my fingerprints? Who knows when they were left? Lots of people have touched the lid. How can you be so certain it waswho poisoned it? Youre just trying to frme.
Noelle, youre truly malicious.
After her outburst, Lela turned to Kimberly and tearfully said, Mom, I know theres no way I can explain myself clearly now.
Without surveillance, it all depends on Noelles word.
In that case, I might as well die.
With that, Leia lunged toward the door frand slammed her head into it.
There was a loud thud, and Leia collapsed to the ground, limp and unresponsive.
No, Leial Kimberly was horrified to see Leias desperate attempt at self harm.
She rushed over and caught Leia before she hit the ground.
The other Anderson siblings were also stunned.
None of them had expected Leia to resort to such a drastic act to prove her innocence.
Isnt she overreacting Eli whispered to Charlie.
Charlie frowned but remained silent.
They had been on the fence the entire time.
Noelle was adamant that Leia was the poisoner.
Eli found it hard to believe that Leia would go so far as to poison their father, although he was now favoring Noelle.
After all, their father had nearly died, and there were no deep seated grudges between the Anderson family and Leia, just minor quarrels and friction.
It seemed too extrto think that Leia would resort to poisoning.
However, Noelle was insistent, and Eli didnt know which side to take, so he chose to stay quiet.
Charlie felt the sway.
He trusted Noelle and didnt think she would deliberately frLeia, but he also couldnt bring himself to believe that Leia would poison their father over a trivial matter.
However, Leias attempt to kill herself was certainly unexpected.
Charlie thought there were probably two possibilities.
Either Leia truly felt wronged and wanted to die to prove her innocence, or she was guilty and trying to cover up the truth with a suicide attempt.
But which one was it! Charlie couldnt be sure Leia, why are you sa foolish shouted Kimberly.
Kimberly saw the large bump on Leias forehead, with blood streaming down.
In moments, half of Lelas face was stained red.
For a moment, the maternal bond of over a decade overcreason.
Kimberlys heart ached as she said, I believe you.
Okay? Dont do anything Toplish again Lela was sobbing uncontrollably, crying out, Mom, Im so miserable.
What have I done wrong! All I wanted was to stay here peacefully, but Noelle wont let me.
Why? As she spoke, she coughed a few times, looking like she was about to collapse.
Kimberly was frantic with worry, saying Lela, dont think like that.
1 1/2 5:57 AM Chapter 211 know youre innocent? Then Kimberly turned to Noelle and said.
Noelle, stop saying that Leia is the culprit.
Shes already tried to kill herself.
Isnt that p her innocence Stop it.
Please Noelle suddenly becfurious after hearing this proof enough of Of course, the crying baby gets the candy.
Leia just bumped her head and shed a little blood, and Morn starts feeling sorry for her, ignoring the truth she wondered.
She retorted indignantly, Mom, she really is the murderer.
If she wanted to die, why didnt she hit her head harder? Shedding just a little blood and calling it suicide? But ... Kimberly was speechless, unsure of what to say, Leia, on the other hand, was trembling with rage.
She screamed at Noelle, You just wantdead, dont you ! Noelle, you heartless woman .
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHow can you be like this? Fine.
If you think Im faking it, III die for real this time.
Even if I die, I wont let you off the hook! With that, Leia made another move to slam her head against the doon But Kimberly wouldnt let her do it again, he quickly restrained Leia, saying. Leia, calm down Noelle was just angry.
Dont be impulsive.
Mom, I dont want to live anymore.
Letdie.
Noelle clearly doesnt wantalive.
She just wantsdead, Leia said.
Dont be impulsive, Leia, Kimberly pleaded, struggling to hold her back.
Ill make Noelle apologize, okay? Dont try to kill yourself Then Kimberly turned to Noelle again, urging, Noelle, apologize to Leia. posture rigid.
Unless she really kills herself, shes ju s just puning on a show I wont apologize.
Noelle stood firm, her p Why are you being so stubborn? Kimberly was at her wits end.
She couldnt choose between her two daughters.
Leia, seeing that Noelle wouldnt even apologize, was consumed with anger.
She was determined to stand her ground against Noelle today.
If Noelle wont apologize, Id rather die than let her off the hook.
Even in death, III drag her down with me, Leia thought to herself.
Fine.
Noelle, Ill die right here Leia said fiercely, making another move toward the door.
Kimberly y was shouting at the servants to hold Leia back while also trying to get Noelle to apologize.
The entire hall was in chaos.
And then, in the midst of the turmoil, one of the servants, who had a sharp eye, spotted someone outside the door and suddenly shouted, Bennetts back! Everyone instinctively turned to look outside. Bennett was rushing toward their Ad-free membership subscription
