Chapter 101
Noel’s denial was suspiciously specific, and even she started to panic after she said it.
The journalists were puzzled by her words as well.
But since she was not the main character here, they did not pay her much attention, instead asking Cordy with anticipation, “Do you know who this person is, Ms. Sachs?”
“Who would frame you in secret?”
“Why would she do it? Because she could not bear to see you doing well?”
Cordy was almost scarily calm in contrast to their eagerness, and she replied, “The person who is with Kyle now… No, the person who already hooked up with Kyle, even while he and I were in a relationship, is the person you’re looking for.”
The journalists were even more excited right then.
In other words, Cordy was saying that Kyle had cheated on her, instead of it being the other way around!
What a dramatic turn of events!
“Sis, you shouldn’t lie in front of the press. I know you just want to distract them and get Starstream out of this crisis, but Kyle has always been good to you! Trying to drag him with you to your grave is unfair to Jessop Corp!” Noel exclaimed righteously.
Noel’s words gave the journalists a hunch right then.
After all, it was very likely that Cordy was trying to scapegoat Noel just to clear her own name.
“I sympathize with your situation, Ms. Sachs, and I wish what you say is true. However, just your words alone aren’t going to convince anyone,” one of the journalists shouted loudly just then.
Noel smiled every so subtly.
Cordy was dreaming if she thought she could turn the tables against them!
“Ms. Noel, you should know very well how the relationship between Kyle Jessop and your sister has been. Who between them was at fault?” another journalist suddenly asked Noel, trying to get confirmation from her as well.
Since she was called by name, Noel quickly answered, “They’ve been good together, and it’s always been that way. My sister loved Kyle, and Kyle pampered her… I don’t know the specific reason why they break up, but I’m convinced it’s neither of their faults. Moreover, the person who took those photos must have deliberately framed it that way–my sister would never do anything unkind to Kyle.”
