"I can't not interfere when someone tries to kill in broad daylight."
Noah did not answer Veronica's question. His tone remained calm and detached.
Seeing Winnie still frozen in place, he reminded her softly, "Call the police."
"Oh—okay! But you…"
Winnie took out her phone, hesitating as she glanced at Noah.
"I'm fine," Noah said.
Only then did Winnie nod and dial the police.
Veronica suddenly seemed drained of all strength, her body going limp. Then, abruptly, she threw her head back and let out a deranged laugh.
"You people… all of you… just like Khloe—you all deserve to die! Every one of you!"
Noah frowned. He pressed down slightly with his foot, and Veronica immediately let out a piercing scream.
Winnie hurriedly stopped him. "Don't act rashly. It's not worth it."
Noah gave Veronica a cold glance before easing his pressure and stepping back.
Then he crouched down, grabbed Veronica by the arm, and twisted her hands behind her back. With practiced efficiency, he bound her wrists with a rope and shoved her against a nearby pillar.
"Veronica, what exactly did I ever do to you that made you want to kill me?"
Winnie couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. She crouched down and looked into Veronica's bloodshot eyes.
Veronica had always been unstable, but she still calculated consequences—at least to some extent.
Now the Olson family was already under public scrutiny. The entire corporation was at the center of controversy. Not only were Veronica's parents facing potential lawsuits, the company itself could suffer massive losses or even breach liabilities.
At a time like this, the family could barely protect itself. For Veronica to cause such a scene now—it could destroy them completely.
