Chapter 694 Sacrificing Noelle "Grace, I didn't hurt him on purpose.” Noelle sounded tearful. She knew that since Grace had come, she must have found out about everything.

"I know that you wouldn't. Joshua had { bad intentions." Grace comforted her at once and patted her on the back.

On the day of the annual party, Joshua had dragged Noelle away while Timothy hadn't been with her.

He had taken Noelle to a deserted corner and tried to violate her, but she had resisted strongly. She had managed to grab a wine bottle and smash it over his head.

As a result, Joshua had a severe concussion. In his anger, he had called the police and reported her for intentional harm.

, The place where it had taken place had no security cameras, and it involved a "conflict between two upper-class families, which made it very difficult for the police to deal with.

Noelle sobbed in Grace's arms for a while.

Grace asked, "What's your dad's opinion on how to deal with this?" ) There was silence for a while.

Noelle's mood became even more melancholy, and she didn't speak for a while.

Beside her, Timothy took a deep breath and said, "He thinks that it would be better to just settle, since it hasn't escalated." Grace frowned at once. She hadn't expected Anthony to be so calculative, especially as he loved Noelle more than life itself, "He's afraid of the Iversons."

Timothy looked angry when he heard this. "I can't believe that he's going to | sacrifice his own daughter's reputation to « solve the bank's internal crisis. Is that all that Elysium Bank is good for?" "What crisis?" Xander asked.

Timothy glanced cautiously at Noelle and didn't say anything for a while. He strode out. Xander followed him at once.

Only two people were left in the hospital room.

After listening to Noelle's account of events, Grace could understand what had happened that night.

"He must be crazy to do something like that with Celia still around." "He doesn't think of Celia as his girlfriend at all. She's just a doll that he can throw away once he's done playing with her." Grace spoke forthrightly.

She knew very well how people in upper-

class families thought.

Among the four largest families in Frenda, the Lewises were the biggest, but they had a difficult past fraught with hardship.

| The Fultons looked glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes, the Fulton heirs were competing against each other.

The Iversons and the Jorsons had the most scandals.

"Ascandalous incident like this was insignificant; such matters were usually covered up before they could even begin to spread.

This time was different. Joshua had provoked the heiress of Elysium Bank.

"Dad says... that wasn't hurt. He wants to use this as an opportunity to work with the Iversons." Grace slammed the table with her hand when she heard this. "What does he mean

NE 5 TY vere . by 'use this opportunity'? How can he call an incident like this an opportunity?" Noelle was silent for a moment. "It's iot Dad's fault that Elysium Bank is in trouble." At the end of the corridor, Timothy finished smoking one cigarette before he continued speaking.

. "The capital market is the real battlefield.

Elysium Bank is involved in insider trading amongst high officials, and they could be investigated at any time.

Anthony has no choice but to sacrifice Noelle." Xander finally understood.

He hadn't been in Pamore for a long time, and he didn't know how the situation was here, "Since it hasn't been thoroughly investigated yet, Anthony can only ask

for the Iversons' protection to be safe." » Xander leaned against the railing and | flicked his lighter on and off absent— | mindedly. "You're an expert trader in the capital market. Can't you solve this?" | The two of them did not interact much, and they could even be said to be rivals. It was surprising that they were actually having such a quiet conversation together.

"On the surface, I'm the director of an investment bank, and privately, I'm also the successor of the Donegan Chamber of Commerce. There are so many eyes on me. I have no chance at all of helping Elysium Bank." Timothy's identity was exposed to the public, and if he were to make any dealings under the table, he would be single-handedly ruining his own future.

That was why he could only watch helplessly, despite what Noelle had

suffered.

» Timothy had always been proud and 4 unpredictable, and this was the first-time he had felt so helpless and constrained.
