Chapter 407 Blake continued, "Do you understand now?" He refused to believe he couldn't deal with Noelle. Noelle burst out laughing, yet her eyes filled with cold amusement. Upon seeing the smile on her face, Blake grew uneasy.

"Otherwise, why do you keep trying to forceback to the Liddell family? Isn't having Xenia enough for you?" Blake's expression turned cold. "I don't like that look in your eyes, Noelle." "Good, because I don't like yours either. I guess we're even." Noelle spun her chair once and continued saying, "I remember when we were kids, you'd chto take it out onwhenever you were looked down on and humiliated outside. So tell me, who looked down on you this time?" "You'd better think before you speak, Noelle. Makingmad won't do you any good. Think about your friends and your team." "At worst, we'll just go down together!" Noelle got up and grabbed Blake by the collar. "Only cowards get bullied and chto take it out on their family. You're still a coward even after all these years." Though Blake knew exactly how to control her, she knew what he cared about the most. Sure enough, Blake was enraged. He raised his hand and was ready to strike, but it hovered in midair before being lowered down once more.
Noelle's gaze was icy as she taunted, "Go ahead and hit me. Why aren't you doing it? Is it because you can't win anymore?" Blake's eyes burned with frustration, and his eyes were bloodshot. That was because Noelle was right; it was true because he couldn't win against her now. Blake let out a cold laugh.
"I won't lay a hand on you, but there are plenty of other ways to make you suffer. Forget about getting your team sproper training. You better prepare to keep your head up for the rest of your life." With that, he turned and walked out of the office. Noelle stood still and watched his figure disappear before slamming her fist against the desk in frustration.
Grace rushed in. "Your hand is hurt! Did Blake threaten you?" Noelle glanced at her hand and muttered, "The family was a mess when our parents passed away. I grew up living with my brothers, so I learned to read their moods and please them according to their personalities." Grace's eyes reddened instantly. "But you're their biological sister! How could they treat you that way!" Noelle lowered her gaze. "Because to them, I'm the one to blfor our parents' death, so I endured everything. They got used to how things were, and now they're desperate to forceback into that role." She'd died once in her past life, so she'd never return to the Liddell family and live that life again.

Grace's eyes welled with tears of distress. "No! We won't let this interfere with our training!" Tianna entered and chimed in, "That's right. We'll adjust the training schedule. I believe he can't keep this up forever." Noelle's eyes turned red. "I'm sorry." "You don't have to apologize. We all know what you've been through and how unfair your family is. We're a team, so we stand together." Noelle wiped her tears away. She vowed to do something that would stop Blake from threatening her again.
All she ever wanted in this life was to stay far away from the Liddells, but since they refused to leave her alone, En none of them would have peace.
After she returned downstairs, the filming dragged on with endless retakes. She crushed Xenia's in-gcharacter several times over until her mood improved. On the other hand, Xenia was barely holding herself together. Blake noticed the production crew was growing impatient, so he said, "Let's call it a day. I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight." Once the crew started packing up, he turned to Noelle. "It seems like you're not worried about your team's training being delayed at all."
"Since filming takes time, you should be the one who's worried, notNoelle qurtly replied. She looked at Blake calmly and waited to see who would outlast the other. Suppressing his anger, Blake put on a fake, gentle tone. "Cfor dinner. I picked your favorite restaurant." Noelle responded with a cold smirk. "You remembered wrong. Xenia is the one who loves that restaurant, not me."
