Chapter 586
When Marlene saw Noah, she immediately whispered to Fiona, "Mom, that's the kid. Don't underestimate him because he's a kid. He's actually a devious boy."
When the latter heard that, she glared at Noah. "So you're the kid who hurt our dear Malcolm, huh?"
Malcolm was sitting next to Fiona. When he saw how he was being protected that day, he looked at Noah in satisfaction. He thought Noah was still too weak to snatch the heir's position from him.
Last night, Marlene had told Malcolm that Yvette had no one backing her up and that the Lane family and their assets still belonged to him.
Yvette held Noah's hand and said, "Didn't I explain the situation clearly a few nights ago? Grandpa, do you need me to explain it to you again?"
Clifford didn't like how arrogant Yvette was being at that moment. "Yvette, Malcolm was unconscious back then, and you were only telling me your side of the story. Now, Malcolm is telling me that he never thought about hitting Noah at all." "So, why did he come to Dewberry Manor? Don't tell me he was there to play with Noah?"
She exposed Malcolm's family's lies first, and Marlene and the rest immediately looked upset.
Clifford protected Malcolm and said, "Children don't hold grudges overnight, and he just wanted to play with Noah. Who would've expected Noah to trick Malcolm into the maze?"
Yvette finally understood that Clifford only wanted to protect Malcolm, and she knew why he was doing that. After all, he'd watched Malcolm grow up, and he had only just met Noah. It was clear who was more important to him.
"Do you see how they've run out of excuses, Mr. Lane Senior?" When Fiona noticed how Yvette was keeping quiet, she hurriedly said, "Now, you must get justice for Malcolm."
Right after she said that, Xavier asked, "What do you guys want?"
"Our dear Malcolm almost froze to death. I want the kid to kneel outside and apologize to Malcolm." It was snowing outside now, and Noah had leukemia. She was basically asking for Noah's life by telling him to kneel outside.
Yvette tightened her fists, and Noah said, "Mr. Lane Senior, you're being too unfair. Why do you only believe what they say and not what I've said?"
Clifford was stunned, and he cleared
his throat to hide his bias.
"Nonsense! I'm their great-grandpa, so why would I be biased toward
I
one of them? Do you have proof that
you never tricked Malcolm?
He thought a four-year-old kid would never know the concept of proof. Unexpectedly, Noah answered with a question, "Then, does he have proof when he said he wasn't going to hurt me?" Malcolm was infuriated instantly. "My words are the proof!"
When Marlene saw that, she immediately grabbed his hand. He understood what she was implying and sat back down. Then, he pitifully looked at Clifford and said, "Great-Grandpa, I would never lie."
After that, Marlene added, "Grandpa, you were the one who raised Malcolm since he was a baby. So, why would he ever lie?"
She was flattering him while
implying that only Yvette's child
would lie. Noah understood it as well
and approached Clifford in front of everyone else. "Mr. Lane Senior, if I
can prove that he's lying, does he have to kneel outside and apologize as well?" Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Everyone there was stunned. Malcolm wasn't scared at all and purposely said, "Sure!"
He wanted to see how Noah could expose him.
Noah rolled up his sleeve and pulled out his smartwatch. Then, he played a recording from that day, and they heard Malcolm's voice right away. "Come out and face me if you dare, Noah!"
