Chapter 218 Chapter 218 El had a fiery temper and didnt indulge Leia .
His words were straightforward and , at times , extremely harsh to hear .
After listening to him .
Leias face turned dark with anger .
Her lips trembled , and the way she glared at Eli was as if she wanted to tear him lin limb from limb .
Despite her fury .
Leia was speechless , unsure of how to retort .
At that moment , Bennett , who had been observing the scene , stepped forward with his usual elegant and composed demeanor .
Alright , I believe anyone can see whos in the right and whos in the wrong .
Leirs attempt at murder is already undeniable .
Lers hand her over to the police and let them decide , he said to the others Both Leia and Damon looked up upon hearing this .
Leia immediately panicked .
Just moments ago , she had been indignantly listing the Anderson familys bad doing , feeling utterly wronged .
But now , at the mention of being taken to the police station , she was terrified .
No.
Bennett .
I dont want to go to the police station .
I wont go Leia pleaded Bennett , she Damon hesitated , calling out ut in a lo a low voice .
Bennett glanced at Damon and cut him off .
Damon , whatever youre about to say , think about Dad first .
You saw him coughing up blood yesterday.
right ? He just barely escaped life threatening danger , and who knows what long term effects the poison might have on him .
As Bennett spoke , Damons face turned ashen He lowered his head , and the words stuck in his throat , unable to continue .
Then , Bennett turned to Leia with a smile .
You attempted premeditated murder .
Now that everyone knows about it , what would it mean if we you off the hook ! Are we supposed to harbor a criminal ! Hey , actually , Im partly responsible too .
Since Im not shirking my duty , you should act like an adult and take responsibility for your actions , dont you think ? Bennett !
Leia was both terrified and furious at his words .
She glared at him , grinding her teeth as she asked , How can you be so ruthless ! Didnt you say I was your most beloved sister ? Is this how you treat me ? Bennett showed no remorse .
He simply sighed , Leia , thats the logic of a bandit .
Just because I love you the most doesnt mean I should condone your crimes .
Should I turn a blind eye while you try to kill my own father ? Wouldnt that make me a monster ? He continued , I always knew you were selfish , but I never expected you to say something like this .
Youve really let me down .
Come to think of it .
I think Noelle is much better after all .
Despite how badly we treated her at first , she never thought about killing us .
Blood really matters .
Unlike you , whos an ungrateful wretch .
Im done with you Otherwise , who knows when you might get upset again and try to poison us ? No one can handle that , Bennett spoke in his usual calm and measured tone , but his words were like daggers to Leias heart .
Leia , who loved to blame others , found Bennett even more adept at it .
He not only criticized her but also praised Noelle , every word designed to provoke her anger .
Leia was so furious she felt like exploding and wanted to tear Bennett apart .
Damn Hennett .
Ive seen through him .
His words are all lies .
Calling me his favorite sister was just a deception .
In his eyes , Im nothing but a pawn hes been playing with , Leia thought bitterly .
When Bennett returned , he had already called the police .
Soon , the officers arrived .
Bennett handed over the evidence to them and cooperated as they prepared to go to the station to give statements .
As Leia was being taken away , the panicked again .
Passing Kunderly , she knelt down and pleaded , Mom , Im wrong .
I truly know Im wrong .
I dont want to go to the police station .
I dont want to go .
to jail .
Please , for the sake of our years together , show me mercy this oner , Mom , Kimberly looked at Leia , who was sobbing and begging on her knees .
Though she was furious , she also felt a deep p sense of sorrow .
She silently wept , too upset to speak .
At that moment , Bennett walked over , pried Leias hands off Kimberly , and said with a simile , Now you remember our years together ? Why didnt you consider the years of father daughter lund with Dad when you decided to poison land You were just complaining about how we wronged you , but now you have the nerve to talk about years of affection ! 1/2 5.58 AM Chapter 218 Leia glared at Bennett with a mixture of anger and hatred , tears streaming down her face .
But Hennett was completely unfazed by her gaze and continued to cooperate with the police as they took Leia away .
As she was being led out , Leias wails echoed through the air .
One moment she was begging for mercy , claiming she knew she was wrong; the next , she was cursing the Anderson family , wishing them ill and predicting their downfall .
When she reached the outer gate , Leia chung to the iron bars , refusing to let go and biting anyone who tried to approach her .
She no longer cared about her appearance , her hair disheveled and her face smeared with blood , looking like a complete madwoman .
Stay back , or Ill kill myself right here .
Leia screamed at the police officers .
The police officers were momentarily at a loss on how to handle her .
Bennett , however , watched coldly , his eyes devoid of any sympathy or heartache , filled instead with a mocking amusement as if he were watching a play .
At that moment , Bennett seemed to n remember something and pulled out his phone , calling Damon . Upon hearing the news , Damon rushed out and saw Leia clinging to the gate .
He couldnt help but exclaim , Leia Hearing his voice , Leia immediately turned to look at him .
bamon was staring intently at her , his eyes still holding that familiar look of concern , In that instant , Leia felt an overwhelming urge to cry .
Since her poisoning attempt had been exposed , everyone in the Anderson family had turned against her with hatred and indifference .
usually soft hearted mother now looked at her with loathing .
But Damon still looked at her with worry .
Even b her A thought suddenly crossed Leias mind .
If Damon had stayed by my side all along , unwavering in his support , would I have been so radical and ended up making such a grave mistake ? she wodnered .
As this thought occurred to her , Leia realized she had one last thing she needed to know .
Even if she went to jail , she needed to understand : otherwise , she would die with regrets .
Damon , theres something I need to ask you , Leia said through her tears .
Go ahead , Damon replied .
Leia glanced at the others , especially Bennett , and said , Everyone , step back .
I only want to talk to Damon .
Sure , Bennett said with a faint smile , stepping back in a gentlemanly manner and giving Leia and Damon some space .
Damon walked up to Leia and asked , What do you want to know ? Go ahead and ask Leia looked at him , sniffled , and said pitifully , Damon , theres something I cant get out of my head .
You said you would draw a line with Noelle and stand firmly by my side .
But that day , when you came back with Noelle , everything changed .
Eli past pushed Noelle , but you were so anxious about her , completely focused on her .
The next day , you ran around buying medicine for her , so concerned .
I need to know what happened that day .
Why did your attitude change so suddenly ? I want the truth .
