Alfred couldn't take it any longer and stepped forward. "Justin, are you asking for trouble?" Why wasn't he in Yasnia? What was he doing here?

He had the nerve to lay a hand on Cedric just now. Clearly, he was begging for trouble.

When Justin heard the familiar voice, his body stiffened. He instinctively looked at the masked man standing before him.

This voice... It sounded exactly like his cousin's.

Could it be Alfred?

"What's going on?"

At that moment, Lucas came down from the private room upstairs. Seeing Justin lying on the ground with broken glass scattered around, he quickly helped Justin sit up. "Are you alright?" "I'm not alright. It hurts so much."

Though Justin tried to act tough, the pain from Cedric's kick made it hard to breathe. With every breath, a sharp pain shot through his chest, and he wasn't sure if his ribs were broken. Xenia saw his face turn pale and quickly became anxious. "Lucas, what should we do now?"

"Get him to the hospital, what else? Who did this?"

Xenia turned to Noelle. "That school doctor went too far."

Lucas immediately recognized Noelle, who was wearing a mask. He said softly, "Noelle, do you know who Justin is? He got hurt because of you, and the Liddell family could be in trouble." "But Justin started it. Even if this goes to the police, we're in the right," Noelle retorted, feeling frustrated. She had hoped for a fun night, but meeting the dumb duo had caused nothing but problems. Lucas turned to Cedric. "You laid hands on him, didn't you? When the Parham family comes after this, you'll bear the brunt of their anger. If you're a man, don't drag my sister into this!"

Before the Parham family could press charges, Noelle needed to be removed from the equation.

Noelle stood firm in front of Cedric. "This has nothing to do with him. He was only trying to protect me."

"Noelle, are you crazy? I'm trying to help you!"

Lucas looked confused. "Can you take responsibility for this? This is the Parham family of Yasnia we're talking about here!"

They were no ordinary noble family.

Noelle's mood soured. She knew the Parham family wasn't someone to trifle with, but she couldn't let Cedric bear all the blame alone.

She straightened her back. "We'll hire a lawyer. I don't believe the Parham family will be unreasonable."

"You think the Parham family will be reasonable with you?" Lucas snapped.

Alfred chimed in, "That's not right. How can you say the Parham family isn't reasonable?"

He was a reasonable person, after all.

If it weren't for the need to keep his identity under wraps, he would've already slapped Justin across the face.

Lucas ignored Alfred and turned his

focus back to Noelle. "You'd better keep quiet. I'll handle this. Later, the man you're protecting will need to personally come to the hospital and apologize to Justin."

With that, Lucas helped Justin to his feet. "Mr. Parham, let's get you to the hospital. Your health comes first."

Justin winced in pain, gritting his

teeth. At

that moment, he didn't t

about the blame-he just felt like he

might die from the pain.

As Justin passed Noelle, he shot her a vicious glare. "You better not forget this, you'll pay for it... it hurts so much..."noveldrama

Xenia lingered behind, eyeing Noelle.

"This time, you're in big trouble. He's

one of Mrs. Parham Senior's

favourite grandchildren. When the time comes, you'll be in serious trouble. You'd better figure to apologize and earn his forgiveness."

She was determined to make Noelle regret everything.
