Chapter 154

No one expected such a turn of events.

Charlie’s words completely changed everyone’s impression of Leia.

Kimberly looked at Leia in disbelief. “Leia, how could you?”

She never expected that what Noelle said was true, and she couldn’t believe that Leia actually said such outrageous words.

Vincent was filled with disappointment and anger. “Leia, so you want to take your sister’s man from her, and you even lied to deny it?”

Damon sat to the side and did not speak.

He seemed to have expected this.

Now that Leia was exposed, there was only a flash of sadness in his eye.

In fact, ever since Nicolas came to the Anderson family, Damon had noticed that Leia’s gaze had been fixed on that man. He had seen the envy, jealousy, and unwillingness in her eyes.

However, he did not expect Leia to lay her cards on the table in front of Noelle.

Damon had always believed that it was human nature for people to have some dark thoughts when their emotions were negative. After all, no one was a saint who could remain optimistic and positive.

However, just thinking about it was different from actually carrying it out.

Damon had thought that Leia would be able to know what she shouldn’t do.

However, what she had done disappointed him.

Damon also found that Leia was walking step by step toward self-destruction. There were many things that could be avoided, but where she was heading meant that there was no going back for her.

Damon was struggling and conflicted.

He wanted to stand firmly by Leia’s side.

However, Noelle had saved him. That girl had protected him while risking her life. He could not just watch Leia provoke Noelle and continue to protect the former.

At this moment, he could no longer speak up for Leia, and he could only remain silent.

Eli did not expect Charlie to help Noelle. He was both happy and relieved.

He suddenly looked at Leia and sneered. “Leia, you’re really a poser. You provoked Noelle and even pretended to be a victim. Did you tell the servants to call the police just now? Are you trying to take Noelle to jail! When did you become so vicious?”

“I…” Leia did not expect that she would be the one questioned.

She looked at Charlie with red eyes, her eyes filled with shock and disappointment.

She thought, I can’t believe that Charlie chose to expose me. Shouldn’t Charlie be siding with me? How can he do this to me?

Charlie seemed to know what Leia was thinking. He looked at her calmly and said, “Leia, do you want to ask me why I exposed you? Why I am not siding with you?”

Leia batted her lap that was trembling in anger.

Although she didn’t say anything, the look in her eyes said, “Yes! I want to know why.”

Charlie said, “Because I don’t want to see you make mistakes again and again. You’re my sister. As long as you don’t cross the bottom line, I can give in and tolerate you in many things, but I can’t spoil you. I can’t just pretend to be blind when you’re in the wrong.”

Back then, he did not expose Leia instigating Reyna because there was no substantial evidence. He also told Eli not to expose this matter because he didn’t want their family to fall apart because of something he couldn’t produce evidence of.

This time, he had heard what Leia said with his own ears. He could no longer pretend to be blind.

He could pamper Leia, but he would not indulge her, which was Charlie’s principle.

When Leia heard Charlie’s words, not only did she not reflect on herself, she was so angry that her entire body was trembling.

She was thinking, He can give in and tolerate me? How hilarious!

If Nicolas had not told me the truth, I would have thought that Charlie was my nice brother. However, he’s actually just as hypocritical.

Charlie knew that Reyna was just using me, but he watched me sign with Lighting Media without telling me anything. He knew that I would be shelved by the company, but he still messed with Reyna on his own accord.

What kind of man would do this to their sister! He has the cheek to say that he tolerates me!

If not for the fact that there were so many people around now, Leia really wanted to tear his face apart and tell him to stop pretending.

Kimberly said, “Leia, how could you say such things to your sister? How could you?”

Kimberly still couldn’t believe that Leia, her obedient and sensible daughter, would have such thoughts.

She felt as if this was the first time she had met Leia.

Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Leia knew that even if she continued to quibble, the Anderson family members would probably not believe her anymore.

Since that was the case, she decided to let herself go to seed. Her tears fell again as she asked Kimberly, “Mom, am I really in the wrong?”

“What?” Kimberly didn’t understand what Leia meant.

Leia continued in a sobbing voice, “Nicolas should have been my fiance. If I hadn’t rejected him repeatedly, Noelle wouldn’t have got the chance to swoop in at all. I regret turning him down now. What’s wrong with me trying to get my fiance back?”
