NovelOnlineChapter 432 Xenia had played everyone like a fiddle.
Noelle looked at Blake. "Then you'd better tell the police who showed you the recorded video. You know, the one that provoked you into attacking me. Don't let the real instigator go unpunished." Blake chuckled bitterly. "I know." Xenia paled with fear. "Blake, I never showed you any recorded video! The police already checked my phone. There's nothing on it." So what if Blake knew the truth now? He couldn't do anything to her without evidence. It was his fault for hating Noelle in the first place.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBlake's gaze bore into her. "If I turn myself in, you won't get away either." "No! You can't turn yourself in, Blake!" Donovan stepped in. "What will happen to my plan if you do? Lucas is already ruined. I can't let you be destroyed, too." Blake shook his head. "You can't stop me, Donovan." "I have to." Donovan signaled his men, who surrounded Blake. Then, he turned to Noelle. "Since you just admitted that I was the one who saved you, that means you oweyour life." Noelle mocked, "And?" Donovan sighed. "I only have one request. Let Blake off the hook this time. Tell everyone the live stream was just a scripted rehearsal." Noelle felt like a heavy weight had been placed on her chest, trapping her.
Before she could speak, Cedric stepped forward and held her hand protectively. His voice was sharp and cold.
"As far as I know, Noelle has done so much for the Liddell family over the years. She even programmed Liddell Corporation's firewall free of charge. You owe her far more than she owes you." Donovan remained unmoved. "That's a separate matter. We all know what would've happened to Noelle when she was caught by those thugs if I hadn't arrived in time." He turned to Noelle. "You understand that more than anyone." Noelle bit her lip. Yes, that was something she couldn't deny.
Cedric stepped in front of her, blocking Donovan's oppressive gaze. "Mr. Donovan, Noelle was just a child back then. She took a risk to save your brother. If anything, Blake owes her his life." Donovan didn't respond. He simply looked at Noelle. "No matter what, I saved you. That means you owe me." Cedric cut him off. "I've never seen a family as shameless as yours." With that, he took Noelle and left. He wasn't going to let her be manipulated by guilt.
Blake watched her leave, his rage boiling over. This was all Xenia's fault.
Donovan turned to Blake. "I'll go to the police in your place. You are not turning yourself in." Blake's voice was calm. "Fine. But I want to have a chat with Xenia first." "No! Donovan, letgo with you!" Xenia panicked. She didn't want to be alone with Blake. He would kill her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDonovan hesitated. "Xenia, you were at fault. Just apologize to Blake, and it'll be fine." Ignoring Xenia's silent pleas for help, Donovan took his men and left for the police station.
One of Donovan's lawyers whispered, "Mr. Liddell, it's obvious Ms. Quigley is lying. Why are you still protecting her and letting Ms. Liddell suffer?" Donovan huffed. "I don't need you to tellhow to handle things."
Of course, he knew Xenia had lied, and she deserved to be taught am lesson. But here to be lesson. But he couldn't let Blake's life be ruined no matter what. Noelle was the Liddell family's eldest daughter. What was a little suffering to her? Outside, Blake dragged Xenia into a car. She was so terrified that the colors drained from her face.
He grabbed her by the throat, his
grip tightening as he sneered, "You have two choices. Either strangle ve you to death, or you beg Noette for YS."
