No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 426

Noelle then returned to her hospital ward. That evening, Cedric was too busy with work to return to her side, but he had food delivered from L Bistro to her.

Tilly explained, "Ms. Liddell, the police should be releasing the report of their preliminary investigation tonight. After that, we can host a live stream to explain everything clearly.

"It would be best if you wore a hospital gown and showed your injuries on the live stream to gain public sympathy."

"I understand," Noelle replied.

Sure enough, not long after dinner, the police published a statement about their preliminary investigation.

"A thorough investigation into the claims of the victim, Ms. Liddell, being assaulted on a live stream has confirmed that the alluded perpetrator, Mr. Liddell, has indeed engaged in violent behavior. Further details will be disclosed after a more in-depth investigation into the matter."

The statement from the police became viral as soon as it was released.

Blake was a celebrity with a sizable following, after all, but the public opinion on the matter had instantly shifted now that the police had confirmed his violent tendencies.

As a result, Blake was now labeled an abuser. Moreover, many more people had come forward with their own anecdotes, claiming that Blake had always displayed a foul temper in private and frequently resorted to violence.

Some even said that former colleagues who worked alongside him were slapped so hard that they had lost hearing in one ear, but the matter had been covered up at the time. It resurfaced with the reveal of Blake's true character.

Noticing that the virality of the news had reached a tipping point, Noelle started a live stream with her own account along with a script prepared by Tilly.

Her face was pale, and her body was covered in visible injuries when she appeared on camera. She did not even need any makeup, as her real injuries were more than enough to cause the intended impact.

Noelle spoke up. "I'm sure that everyone now knows that I have a bad relationship with my family. They once rejected my admission letter to Yole University just to force me to stay at home.

"I've fought tooth and nail to leave the Liddell family and start a new life, only to find that they would never let me go.

"Live streaming was my only weapon of choice to resist against them and to expose Blake's true nature to everyone else. He had always resorted to violence ever since we were just children. Whenever I disobeyed him, he would beat me up…"

Noelle's face was pale, and her eyes were tearing up as she explained everything that had happened that day during the live stream.
