Chapter 214 Chapter 214 Kimberlys emotions were in turmoil .
Looking at Leias tear streaked face , she found it hard to believe that their adopted daughter of over a decade would poison Vincent .
After all , they had never neglected her in all these years .
Even after Noelle returned , they hadnt cut back on anything they provided for Leia .
And despite the occasional arguments , where Vincent Isaid scolded Leia a few times , they had eventually reconciled .
Kimberly couldnt fathom why Leia would suddenly decide to poison Vincent .
It was something she simply couldnt accep In her mind , no person with a conscience could commit such a heinous act .
After a moment of contemplation , Kimberly turned to Noelle and asked Noelle .
are you sure ! Did Leia really go downstairs during the power outage ? Positive , Noelle replied firmly, nodding .
I can tell whether she came upstairs from downstairs or went downstairy from upstairs .
She was in a panic when she ran upstairs .
No , I didnt .
Leias emotions flared up again .
Her eyes were red , and tears streamed down her cheeks as she screamed at Noelle , Why are you framing me ! I never went downstairs .
Just because theres no surveillance , youre making things up , right ? If you really want to kill me , just do it .
Theres no need to pin such an outrageous crime on me .
Even in death , Ill die with a clear conscience and wont let you tamish my reputation .
Youre still denying it Noelle said , her eyes flashing with anger and a murderous intent bubbling beneath the surface .
If you dont believe me , lets check for fingerprints .
There will definitely be yours on the lid .
Are you ever going to stop ? Leia screeched at the mention of fingerprints .
So what if there are my fingerprints ? Who knows when they were left ? Lots of people have touched the lid . How can you be so certain it was me who poisoned it ? Youre just trying to frame me .
Noelle , youre truly malicious .
After her outburst , Lela turned to Kimberly and tearfully said , Mom , I know theres no way I can explain myself clearly now .
Without surveillance , it all depends on Noelles word .
In that case , I might as well die .
With that , Leia lunged toward the door frame and slammed her head into it .
There was a loud thud , and Leia collapsed to the ground , limp and unresponsive .
No , Leial Kimberly was horrified to see Leias desperate attempt at self harm .
She rushed over and caught Leia before she hit the ground .
The other Anderson siblings were also stunned .
None of them had expected Leia to resort to such a drastic act to prove her innocence .
Isnt she overreacting Eli whispered to Charlie .
Charlie frowned but remained silent .
They had been on the fence the entire time .
Noelle was adamant that Leia was the poisoner .
Eli found it hard to believe that Leia would go so far as to poison their father , although he was now favoring Noelle .
After all , their father had nearly died , and there were no deep seated grudges between the Anderson family and Leia , just minor quarrels and friction .
It seemed too extreme to think that Leia would resort to poisoning .
However , Noelle was insistent , and Eli didnt know which side to take , so he chose to stay quiet .
Charlie felt the same way .
He trusted Noelle and didnt think she would deliberately frame Leia , but he also couldnt bring himself to believe that Leia would poison their father over a trivial matter .
However , Leias attempt to kill herself was certainly unexpected .
Charlie thought there were probably two possibilities .
Either Leia truly felt wronged and wanted to die to prove her innocence , or she was guilty and trying to cover up the truth with a suicide attempt .
But which one was it ! Charlie couldnt be sure Leia , why are you sa foolish shouted Kimberly .
Kimberly saw the large bump on Leias forehead , with blood streaming down .
In moments , half of Lelas face was stained red .
For a moment , the maternal bond of over a decade overcame reason .
Kimberlys heart ached as she said , I believe you .
Okay ? Dont do anything Toplish again Lela was sobbing uncontrollably , crying out , Mom , Im so miserable .
What have I done wrong ! All I wanted was to stay here peacefully , but Noelle wont let me .
Why ? As she spoke , she coughed a few times , looking like she was about to collapse .
Kimberly was frantic with worry , saying Lela , dont think like that .
I 1/2 5:57 AM Chapter 211 know youre innocent ? Then Kimberly turned to Noelle and said .
Noelle , stop saying that Leia is the culprit .
Shes already tried to kill herself .
Isnt that p her innocence Stop it .
Please Noelle suddenly became furious after hearing this proof enough of Of course , the crying baby gets the candy .
Leia just bumped her head and shed a little blood , and Morn starts feeling sorry for her , ignoring the truth she wondered .
She retorted indignantly , Mom , she really is the murderer .
If she wanted to die , why didnt she hit her head harder ? Shedding just a little blood and calling it suicide ? But ... Kimberly was speechless , unsure of what to say , Leia , on the other hand , was trembling with rage .
She screamed at Noelle , You just want me dead , dont you ! Noelle , you heartless woman .
How can you be like this ? Fine .
If you think Im faking it , Ill die for real this time .
Even if I die , I wont let you off the hook ! With that , Leia made another move to slam her head against the door . But Kimberly wouldnt let her do it again , he quickly restrained Leia , saying .
Leia , calm down Noelle was just angry .
Dont be impulsive .
Mom , I dont want to live anymore .
Let me die .
Noelle clearly doesnt want me alive .
She just wants me dead , Leia said .
Dont be impulsive , Leia , Kimberly pleaded , struggling to hold her back .
Ill make Noelle apologize , okay ? Dont try to kill yourself Then Kimberly turned to Noelle again , urging , Noelle , apologize to Leia .
posture rigid .
Unless she really kills herself , shes ju s just puning on a show I wont apologize .
Noelle stood firm , her p Why are you being so stubborn ? Kimberly was at her wits end .
She couldnt choose between her two daughters .
Leia , seeing that Noelle wouldnt even apologize , was consumed with anger .
She was determined to stand her ground against Noelle today .
If Noelle wont apologize , Id rather die than let her off the hook .
Even in death , Ill drag her down with me , Leia thought to herself .
Fine .
Noelle , Ill die right here Leia said fiercely , making another move toward the door .
Kimberly y was shouting at the servants to hold Leia back while also trying to get Noelle to apologize .
The entire hall was in chaos .
And then , in the midst of the turmoil , one of the servants , who had a sharp eye , spotted someone outside the door and suddenly shouted , Bennetts back ! Everyone instinctively turned to look outside .
Bennett was rushing toward their Ad-free membership subscription
