Jasper looked at the sister who had been spoiled since childhood and, for the first time, felt such distance and coldness.
Just to protect her own status and interests, she could come up with such vicious thoughts.
“I’m not crazy! I’m completely clear–headed!” Viola waved her arms wildly. “Jasper, we’re family! Noelle is an outsider, a nobody! Why does she get to step on us? As long as she disappears, or never reunites with her family, everything the Kains have will still be ours-”
“That’s enough!”
Jasper slammed his palm onto the desk. The loud bang made Viola flinch.
He stared at her coldly and spoke word by word, “Viola, listen carefully. First, rein in those filthy thoughts of yours. If you want to die, don’t drag the entire Kains down with you. Second, I’ll handle Noelle’s background. You’d better watch your mouth. If I find out you’re spreading nonsense or pulling strings behind the scenes, I won’t go easy on you just because we’re siblings!”
His gaze was sharper than ever, filled with a resolve Viola had never seen before. A chill ran through her. She opened her mouth to argue, but under Jasper’s icy stare, every word got stuck in her throat.
She knew this time he meant it.
Viola stomped her foot, shot Jasper a venomous glare, then turned and stormed out of the study.
But letting Noelle reclaim her family was impossible. Over her dead body.
Melrose Manor.
Noelle lay sprawled on the couch, comfortably watching TV on her tablet.
Alina had already returned to Kingstowne. After seeing her off at the airport, Noelle came back to Melrose
Manor.
Ring–ring…
Suddenly, her phone rang.
She picked it up from the side and answered.
Whatever was said on the other end made her narrow her eyes as she slowly sat up. “You’re saying Viola attempted suicide, got rushed to the hospital for a stomach pump, and they still haven’t pulled her back?”
“Yes. She’s still unconscious in the hospital.”
Noelle frowned, her fingertips lightly tapping the edge of the tablet.

Chapter 171 Things at School
Strange.
Viola tried to kill herself?
What kind of stunt is she pulling this time?
“Keep an eye on it. Find out why she did it.”
“Got it.”

At the hospital.
Viola had barely survived and finally woke up.
Jasper had been at her bedside the entire time. Seeing her awake, he immediately leaned forward, his voice heavy with exhaustion and a trace of complicated emotion. “Viola, you’re awake? How do you feel? How could you do something so stupid?”
Viola’s face was deathly pale, her lips cracked. The moment she saw Jasper, she started crying. “Jasper … I’m sorry. I really didn’t want to live anymore.
“I can’t accept Noelle suddenly becoming the daughter of some powerful family. I can’t accept it. I’m begging you… Please… Don’t tell Noelle about Mr. Haller, okay?” She clutched Jasper’s hand like it was her last lifeline. “I’m begging you… I really can’t handle any more shocks right now. I’m scared. I’m scared that once she knows, she’ll hate us even more and never let the Kains go…”
Jasper looked at her tear–filled, pleading eyes and thought about how she’d just been to death’s door. The words on his lips were swallowed back.
He stayed silent for a long time.
Viola cried even harder. “Jasper! I’m begging you! Don’t tell her! At least … at least wait until after the SAT, okay? Let me take the SAT properly, please?”
“Alright. After you finish the SAT, I’ll tell her.” Jasper closed his eyes. In the end, he couldn’t harden his heart and agreed.
After the SAT, he would tell Noelle.
Noelle sent Helen to school.
She’d sent Kevin to Kingstowne too.
Helen hated being separated from Kevin, but she knew very well that only by becoming stronger could she stay by his side.
She would study hard and get into a university in Kingstowne. That way, she could be in the same city as Kevin and wouldn’t hold him back.
