She crawled towards Lucinda, begging on her knees.


    She wanted to grab hold of Lucinda’s dress, but she sidestepped skillfully.


    Lucinda cast a cold nce at her.


    Noelle had tidied herself up and was now wearing a fresh dress.


    Wrapped in a towel, she emerged from the bathroom.


    Relieved to see that Noelle was unharmed, Lucinda let out a sigh and turned to Salome.


    “You owe Noelle an apology.


    If she’s willing to forgive you, I might think of letting you go.


    Filled with renewed hope, Salome crawled towards Noelle.


    “Noelle, I was wrong! I never should have targeted you intentionally.


    I shouldn’t have meddled in your rtionship with Dvan.


    You can hit me or yell at me, whatever you want.


    Just please, don’t let Miss Simmons send me to jail.


    I know I was very wrong.


    For the sake of us once being teammates, please forgive me.


    ”


    Noelle clenched her fists.


    Suddenly, she remembered Salome’s arrogant and c@@ky demeanor when she discovered that Dvan was cheating on her with her.


    After pulling such an irritating stunt, how could Salome possibly muster the audacity to plead for another chance?


    However, as Noelle saw the sheer misery on Salome’s face and heard her cries of desperation, she remained silent for a long while.


    Noticing her hesitation, Lucinda reminded her, “Noelle, if I hadn’t intervened, she would have killed you.


    Do you genuinely believe she’ll change her ways? Are you truly willing to forgive her?”


    The hesitation in Noelle’s eyes vanished immediately, and she said firmly, “No, I will never forgive her! Salome, as an adult, you should consider the consequences of your actions.


    Now that you’ve made your choice, you must take responsibility for it.


    ”


    “No way! Please help me, Noelle.


    ”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Salome dreaded the prospect of facing jail time for the charges against her.


    The thought of being imprisoned and subjected to torture terrified her.


    However, this time, Noelle’s decision remained unchanged.


    She watched in silence as the police took Salome away.


    Lucinda approached her and smiled with relief.


    “You’ve grown so much through these experiences.


    That’s truly wonderful!”


    Touched, Noelle held Lucinda’s hand tightly.


    Although this incident caused a dy in the shooting progress, Noelle recovered quickly and resumed her work with great efficiency.


    In the evening, upon returning to the vi, Lucinda found Nathan already in the room.
