Chapter 272
Cordy whipped out her phone, tapped on the news headlines, and showed it to Kyle. "You were framed
by Noel from the very start. Since you’ve been here since yesterday, you probably wouldn't know
what's in the news. Here, enjoy!"
Kyle had an idea of what she wanted to show him; he couldn't be bothered to even glance at it and
instead growled through his teeth, "Are you done mocking me?"
"It's not mocking..." Cordy paused. "Actually, I guess it counts."
While Kyle was seething, Cordy tapped on the photos on the article to show him. "That said, I'd prefer it
if you can recognize the truth. Why don't you look at those photos?"
Finally, Kyle couldn’t resist the temptation and looked at them. When he did, his eyes turned bloodshot
in disbelief.
"I'm sure you're not stupid enough to think John or myself published these photos, are you?" Cordy
continued. "This happened even before John came. If
"What are you trying to say?!" Kyle growled through clenched teeth.

"You still don’t get it, do you? Noel planned everything," Cordy replied. "It was by her design that you
were discredited and lost everything. She did all this just so she could break up with you and let you
suffer the contempt of the masses."
"How would she get those photos if she weren't there?!" Kyle retorted nonetheless, still adamant on
defending himself and Noel.
"Why don't you use your head and think about it?” Cordy said, and patiently pointed out the logic
behind everything. "The place you brought me was where you and Noel used to have your little trysts;
a place only she would know, and no one else. Don't you think it's possible that after Noel found out
what you're going to do, she prepared a hidden camera ahead of time to capture everything?"
"No! That's impossible!" Kyle cried in denial. He couldn't believe that the Noel who loved him so deeply
would actually deceive him-to set him up like this!
After all, Noel was so hopelessly in love with him! In fact, she cared for him so much that she couldn't
bear to let him get hurt at all!
Cordy watched coolly as Kyle reacted to the information.
It was clear that deep down, he understood the truth. He was simply refusing to admit that he had
acted so stupidly all for Noel's sake; that she had played him like a fiddle.
"That's not even the first time Noel did that. Who do you think planned it so that I slept with a stranger,
and caused a scandal because I got pregnant?"
The events had transpired a long time ago, but Cordy still had to withhold her rage even as she
recalled it now.
Her life had turned upside down, all because Noel was rotten and selfcentered.
Kyle stared quietly at Cordy in turn, but stayed silent because he knew the answer.
However, Cordy wasn't that kind-she wanted to tell him everything anyway, just so that she knew how
much of a moron he was to fall for Noel’s seduction. "It's Noel. Ever since we were kids, she could
never accept it whenever I have something that's better than hers."
"Because I made it into a famous university while she only managed to get into a second-rate college,
she lured me to a bar, drugged me, and
arranged for someone to sleep with me. She never expected that her plan would suffer a setback,
since I didn’t leave with the man she arranged. It’s also why she didn't get to record the incriminating
video she wanted."
Kyle barely could stop himself from shaking, his self-control slipping the more he listened.

so that everyone would hate me, just like they hate you now. The Sachs in turn dumped me abroad.
With that, she didn’t have to compete with anyone for the family’s wealth. What she didn't expect was
for me to meet you and return to the country with you. To everyone else, we were the perfect couple.
That flared her jealousy again, so she did everything she could to steal everything I had."
"That’s enough, Cordy. I don’t want to hear it anymore..." Kyle's eyes were red, and his voice was
shaking.
Even so, his tragic state was all his own making; and so Cordy continued, unmoved. "When our
wedding was called off, you two got together as if it was perfectly natural. But Noel wasn't satisfied,
because I started a relationship with John Levine at that time. You probably didn't know she was trying
to seduce him while you were still dating her, did you?"
Kyle's whole body was trembling, and he was crumbling inside.
"But this time, she hit a snag," Cordy went on coolly. "John refused to let her near him, and she didn't
even have the chance to bat her eyelashes at him. She only realized she was completely out of her
league when Jessica Stuart showed up, and she finally gave up on John. Or maybe she's already
satisfied since she believes I won't get John, either."
