Chapter 678
Winter became convinced that this matter had something to do with Noelle. She had not wronged many people in the past, and Noelle was definitely the one who hated her the most.
Moreover, Noelle was present that night. Winter believed that jealousy was the driving force behind Noelle's actions.
Once this idea settled in her mind, Winter could not let it go and started obsessing over the possibility. In the end, she simply declared Noelle guilty in her mind. "Mom, it has to be Noelle. She hates me so much!"
"Alright. If it's her, then this will be easy. We'll leak this information to Charles. Once she provokes him, Noelle won't end up well. We won't even need to lift a finger," Jade said with a nod.
"Yes," Winter agreed. She knew Charles' ruthless methods. Even if she had not experienced them personally, the rumors were widely known.
"Um..." Suzy, who had been standing at the side for quite a while, furrowed her brows as she listened to Winter and Jade place all the blame on Noelle without any investigation.
For the first time, she understood how tragic it was for Noelle to have such relatives.
Winter finally noticed Suzy and apologized, "I'm sorry, Suzy, I..."
"It's fine." Suzy forced a smile. "I feel just as bad about what happened to you, Winter. I wish I could bear the pain for you.
"But we're good friends, so I have to be honest. Regarding this incident, I think it's more complicated than it seems. Given Noelle's usual character, I doubt she'd have the courage to do this to you."
"What do you mean?"
"I suggest you don't approach Charles right now, especially since none of us truly understand his temperament."
"What do you mean by that?" Jade's tone immediately sharpened, and she frowned at Suzy's words. "Are you saying that my Winter should just endure this injustice? I'm certain it's that wretched girl, Noelle"
"Madam Shaw, I understand how much you care for Winter, but please let me finish," Suzy replied patiently, though internally, she felt contempt for Jade.
For someone who was the daughter of a university professor, she did not inherit an ounce of his grace or education.
Winter grasped Jade's hand and shook her head gently. "Mom, listen to Suzy. She's my assistant, and she's helped me with so much.
"If it weren't for her today, I don't
know what would've happened..."As she spoke, a flash of bitterness crossed Winter's eyes. "Suzy, we have to find that man from the airport."
"Don't worry, we will. But let's get back to the main issue. We can't lose our heads over this. Right now, we don't know who's truly behind this or what their intentions are.noveldrama
"Winter, aside from Noelle, who else might bear a grudge against you from that night?"
"You mean..." Winter's eyes widened. "Are you saying that the other Royal Star artists who attended Collosus Group's year-end party with me could be suspects?"
Suzy nodded, "Think about it.

Besides Collosus Group's employees, who stood to gain most that night?" Suzy guided Winter to sit on the couch and handed her a cup of warm water.
"You're understandably emotional right now, and it's normal to miss the bigger picture. But calm down and think. Besides Noelle, who else could resent you?"
Thanks to Suzy's guidance, Winter regained some composure. "We were all there for the Saint Di endorsement. Since I got it, the one who would resent me the most would be Brielle.
"After all, Lara and that other woman didn't pose much of a threat. I stole the spotlight that night, so maybe Brielle is the mastermind behind all this?"
