Chapter 341 Had Her Back

Noelle’s gaze settled on Veronica, her words slow and clear, “What if I say no?”

Veronica felt a chill run through her chest, but forced herself to stay firm. “Then don’t blame me for being harsh. Stealing valuables from Alliance 749 isn’t something you can afford to answer for!”

“Exactly! We can do this the hard way!”

Seeing Noelle still daring to push back, Hailey’s anger flared. She shouted at a few crew members and extras who usually flattered Veronica and her, “What are you standing around for? She stole something and still won’t admit it! Hold her down! Make her kneel and apologize–right now!”

The men exchanged glances. They’d benefited plenty from small favors from the Flynn sisters, and with the righteous excuse of catching a thief–plus the urge to curry favor with a star–their courage swelled, especially when they saw Noelle alone and plainly dressed.

They answered. Four or five of them closed in on Noelle, reaching for her arms, ready to force her down.

‘Try me!”

Noelle’s eyes sharpened. She didn’t move, only stared coldly at the first hand reaching for her.

The instant that hand was about to brush her sleeve…

‘Stop!!!”

roar mixed with panic and fury came from outside the crowd, like a clap of thunder.

Lucas saw it in one glance–several men trying to grab Noelle, her surrounded, her face cold as ice.

Get the hell away from her!” Lucas bellowed, moving with shocking speed.

n a few strides, he was there, driving a brutal kick into the side of the crew member closest to Noelle, sending him stumbling to the

ground.

‘Have you all lost your minds? What do you think you’re doing?”

Dwight’s voice cracked as he pointed at the men who’d moved first. “Who gave you permission to lay hands on Ms. Kain

The men froze, stunned by Lucas’s ferocity and Dwight’s fury. They quickly pulled back and retreated.

Veronica rushed to speak first. “Mr. Hodge, you came at the right time! This woman stole my necklace–this custom piece from Alliance 749’s design studio! She was caught red–handed and still refuses to admit it. We only wanted her to apologize-”

“Stole your necklace? Caught red–handed?”

Lucas laughed in pure anger, the sound icy enough to chill bones. He pulled Noelle behind him, his gaze carving into Veronica. “Say that again. Who stole your necklace?”

“Who the hell are you? This doesn’t concern you!” Hailey screamed.

“He’s our investor! Mr. Steele!” the director shouted, his voice nearly breaking.

He was about to blow a gasket.

“Investor?” Hailey’s face drained white. She never imagined the man shielding Noelle was an investor.

Veronica’s face blanched too.

This girl–she’s connected to the investor?

Lucas’s stare was terrifying. Veronica’s scalp prickled, but she forced herself to hold on. “Mr. Steele, I didn’t know she was with you, but facts are facts. The necklace was taken from her pocket. Everyone saw it. My sister and my assistant can both testify.”

The assistant nodded frantically. “Y–yes! I saw her steal it myself, then I pulled it from her pocket!”

“Bullshit!” Lucas exploded, pointing at the assistant, then at Veronica and Hailey. “The three of you set this up together–framing Noelle with a cheap plant. Do you think everyone here is blind?”

Dwight felt his head about to split. “Mr. Steele, I think this must be a misunderstanding-”

“Misunderstanding?” Hailey jumped in, shrill and sharp, pointing at Noelle. “Everyone saw the necklace come out of her pocket! She’s been caught in the act! Even if she’s with Mr. Steele, that doesn’t mean she can steal and deny it. That’s Alliance 749 jewelry- this is a crime!”

Sweat poured down Dwight’s forehead. Of course, he knew someone Lucas brought wouldn’t steal–but with things spiraling like this, he was stuck in the middle and desperate to smooth it over.

“T–this has to be a misunderstanding…” Dwight wiped his sweat, trying to placate everyone. “Why don’t we just–”

“Just let it go?” Lucas cut in with a cold laugh, eyes sharp as blades. “Mr. Hodge, you’re being generous Noelle gets framed as a thief, nearly forced to kneel and record an apology video, and you want to wave it off as a misunderstanding?”

He stepped forward. The pressure was so intense that Dwight involuntarily took half a step back

“Today, we get to the bottom of this. Until it’s cleared up, no one on this set is leaving” Lucas’s voice was decisive, absolu

He turned to Dwight, tone icy “And one more thing. I’m an investor in this project. I decide on casting from this moment on, Veronica is off as the female lead. Replace her immediately”
