Chapter 210
Leia was a bit annoyed when she saw Eli firmly supporting Noelle.
“Ugh, this Elit What makes him so sure that Noelle wouldn’t poison that old man? Hack when she retired, how did they treat her? Does he think Noelle would forget she thought.
But she couldn’t appear too intentional as she was afraid Eli and the others might grow suspicious.
Hence, she quickly nodded, tears welling up in her eyes, and said, “Mm–hmm, Eli, I also believe that Noelle wouldn’t poison fhd. It’s just that he’s still in critical condition, and Mom has fallen into a coma from the shock. I just feel so overwhelmed”
With that, she turned to Noelle apologetically and said, “Noelle, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to doubt you. It’s all that Maria’yfault. She was spouting monsense just now,
For some reason, Noelle feh a laule depressed at that moment.

Noelle, you.” Leia couldn’t help but curse under her breath when she saw Noelle putting on airs with her.
“That wretched Noelle, how dare she give me such a look!” she cursed inwardly.
If this had been a few months ago. Noelle would have been scolded to no end by her brothers.
But now…
Leia could not help but glance at her brothers.
Seeing them remain indifferent to this, each lost in their own thoughts, she felt a mix of sadness and grievance.

But Leia never once considered the decade–long father–daughter bond she shared with Vincent when she stubbornly went through with poisoning him despite all warnings.
Nor did she spare a thought for the fact that both her parents were now lying in hospital beds, their conditions critical.

The moment she opened her eyes, the first thing she asked about was her husband’s condition.
Upon learning that Vincent was still in a coma and hadn’t passed the critical stage, she immediately tried to go see him.
When she arrived at the hospital room and saw her husband’s pale face, she couldn’t hold back her tears–they streamed down once again.
She leaned over Vincent’s sickled, clutching his slightly cold hand as tears streamed down her face. Choking back sobs, she murmured. “How could this happen? Why would you get poisoned for no reason! What went wrong?”
Althis moment, Lela walked up.
She half-embraced Kimberly’s shoulders, putting on a sorrowful expression as ale choked up, “Mom, the doctors haven’t determined the exact cause yet. They said the prescription Noelle gave Dad is something they had never seen before. It’s quite unusual. They need to hold another meeting to study it further

He wanted to ask–did she have aucthing to do with their father’s poisoning?
Though the thought seemed absurd even to him, for some reason, after hearing about their father’s poisoning, the first person he thought of wasn’t Noelle, wlus seemed more suspicious, but Leia.
This was poisoning, after all!
Their father had vomited so much blood and was still fighting for his life.
No matter how neglected Leia had felt in recent days, could she go so far as to poison her own family over it?
She couldn’t possibly be that ruthless!

Seeing that Damon remained silent for a long while, his gaze fixed on her as if lost.

deep thought, Leia felt a flicker of unease.
Hence, she put on a pitiful expression once more, her voice soft as she defended herself. “I really didn’t mean to doubt Noelle. I’m just so worried about Dad. I believe Noelle would never do something as terrible as poisoning him.”
Damon looked at Leia silently. After a few seconds, he said in a firm tone, “I believe that Noelle would never do such a thing.”
The moment those words left his mouth, Leia’s face almost turned green with rage.
Noelle wouldn’t? Why is he so sure? I Is Damon out of f his mind? Why do all of them trust Noelle so much?
“Do they think that Noelle is a saint? After everything they have put her through, it would be normal for Noelle to hold a grudge. Do they believe that just because she acted indifferent, she has truly let it all go!
“Use some common sense! How could that be possible? Leia shouted out loud inwardly.
