She started to speak. But before the words fully left her lips, her eyes scanned the interior, and she saw Noel alone.
Lilian wasn’t there.
A flicker of surprise flashed through Whitney’s eyes, but she quickly brushed it off. Whether Lilian was there or not, she hadn’t planned on sitting with Noel
“I’ll sit in the front,” she said.
However, before she could take a step forward, Noel’s low and cold voice stopped her.
“Sit in the back”
He sat with his legs crossed, leaning back in his chair. Though his face was still a bit pale, his sharp, deep eyes behind silver–framed glasses remained intimidating. His commanding presence instantly made Whitney lose some of her confidence
“I’m not comfortable sitting in the back,” she explained
Noel already had Lilian. There couldn’t be another woman at his side.
“This is the police station. The Howard family’s car can’t park here for too long. Doy you really want to argue with me right now?”
It was this. The Howard family was still going through a sensitive period right now, and lingering at the police station would raise suspicions

Noel stared at her for a long time without speaking. There was something restrained in his expression as it he seemed to be holding something back.
This confused Whitney.

“Mr. Howard, we’re almost at the Reid family’s residence, Anthony said.
Noel’s face immediately cooled, his expression turning neutral again.
The car pulled to a stop, and Noel’s voice cut through the silence. “Move to the front seat ”
Whitney felt like a puppet, being pushed around by him, and a wave of irritation washed over her. She got out of the car and sat in the passenger seat.
Betore long, Lilian emerged from the building looking completely different.
Her curly hair was now straight, and she wore a light purple wool coat with a white turtleneck sweater. Her top was paired with a grayish wool mermaid skirt, and she had swapped her high heels for white flats.
Even her makeup was much lighter than before.
Gone was the bold, flashy look from earlier, replaced by a refined, ladylike appearance.

Anthony opened the door for her. As Lilian was about to get in, she noticed Whitney sitting in the passenger seat,
“Ms. Spencer, why are you sitting in the passenger seat?”
After all, Whitney was still the Spencer family’s heiress. It wasn’t proper for her to sit next to the driver.
Before Whitney could respond, Noel’s deep, calm voice interrupted, “She’s not worthy to sit here.”
