When Marlene saw Noah, she immediately whispered to Fiona, "Mom, that's the kid. Don't underestimate him because he's a kid. He's actually a devious boy."
When the latter heard that, she glared at Noah. "So you're the kid who hurt our dear Malcolm, huh?"
Malcolm was sitting next to Fiona. When he saw how he was being protected that day, he looked at Noah in satisfaction. He thought Noah was still too weak to snatch the heir's position from him.
Last night, Marlene had told Malcolm that Yvette had no one backing her up and that the Lane family and their assets still belonged to him.
Yvette held Noah's hand and said, "Didn't I explain the situation clearly a few nights ago? Grandpa, do you need me to explain it to you again?"
Clifford didn't like how arrogant Yvette was being at that moment. "Yvette, Malcolm was unconscious back then, and you were only telling me your side of the story. Now, Malcolm is telling me that he never thought about hitting Noah at all."
"So, why did he come to Dewberry Manor? Don't tell me he was there to play with Noah?"
She exposed Malcolm's family's lies first, and Marlene and the rest immediately looked upset.
Clifford protected Malcolm and said, "Children don't hold grudges overnight, and he just wanted to play with Noah. Who would've expected Noah to trick Malcolm into the maze?"
Yvette finally understood that Clifford only wanted to protect Malcolm, and she knew why he was doing that. After all, he'd watched Malcolm grow up, and he had only just met Noah. It was clear who was more important to him.
"Do you see how they've run out of excuses, Mr. Lane Senior?" When Fiona noticed how Yvette was keeping quiet, she hurriedly said, "Now, you must get justice for Malcolm."
