NovelOnlineChapter 544 Donovan's mind suddenly buzzed as things were suddenly becoming a lot clearer. But before he could react, Wyatt spoke up first.
"Noelle, drop the act. Everyone in the foundation knows this kind of thing happens —it's an unspoken rule. You're just using this as an excuse to go after Xenia." Noelle almost laughed. "Xenia broke the law. That's a fact.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWyatt argued, "Are you seriously making a big deal out of something this minor? You're just targeting Xenia, and now that she's your future sister-in-law, I won't allow you to treat her this way!" Noelle chuckled in disbelief. There was no point in arguing with an idiot, and she had no interest in wasting any more words. "Save it for the police." Wyatt sneered. "Noelle, do you really think you can threaten Xenia? The supplier already admitted that he was the one who swapped the products for expired sanitary pads. Xenia only took a small kickback, which wasn't even that much. This isn't a big deal." Noelle clenched her jaw. Technically, what he said was true. Nonetheless, that did not mean she was going to let Xenia off the hook.
She replied, "No point explaining it to me-let's see what the police find." With that, Noelle turned and walked out of the Liddell residence. Xenia glared at her retreating figure, seething with hatred as she silently vowed that one day, she would make sure that bitch was dead.
But for now, she had to focus on survival. She wiped her tears and sniffled as she turned to Wyatt. "Wyatt, this is all my fault. I caused trouble, and now you and Donovan are fighting because of me." "Xenia, you're my fiancée. Of course, I'll stand by you. Donovan will understand." Wyatt glanced at Donovan, his resentment lingering. His leg and his entire life had been ruined because Donovan ignored those calls, forcing Noelle to sign off on the amputation. He believed both Noelle and Donovan owed him.
Donovan scoffed and stormed off. How had he never realized before that Xenia was both dumb and dangerous? He had originally wanted to use Xenia to pressure Noelle, to force that stubborn girl into submission. However, Xenia was turning out to be just as much of a problem.
As he drove off, he spotted Noelle walking along the road. Rolling down the window, he called out, "Where are you going?" Noelle had been deep in thought, but when she saw Donovan, her expression turned cold. "Obviously, to school." "Get in. I'll drive you." "No need. I'll grab a cab," Noelle rejected him outright. She did not want to see anyone from the Liddells-let alone be stuck in a car with him.
Donovan had been about to snap, but thinking about the mess Xenia had caused, he softened his tone. "I know Xenia screwed up. I won't let her handle foundation matters again." Noelle remained stone-faced, not responding. Seeing that, Donovan exhaled sharply, trying to be patient.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe said, "Wyatt changed a lot after his injury. He finally found someone he loves can't you just let this go for his sake?" Noelle lowered her gaze, realizing that was what this was about. She smirked as she replied, "Instead of wasting tconvincing me, why don't you get Xenia a good lawyer?" She waved down a cab. Just as she was about to get in, Donovan blurted out, "If you drop this, I'll make sure the Merlocks agree to let the Liddells' foundation join the charity alliance. It would benefit the foundation our parents built." Cóntent Noelle's hand froze on the door handle. Donovan saw an opening and pushed further. "It's a good deal, isn't it? You couldn't pull this off on your own."
Noelle turned back, stepping closer to him. Her gaze was ice-cold as she growled, "Fine. But I have one condition." Donovan's brows furrowed. "What condition?" "You're doing all this for Wyatt because you feel guilty about his amputation, right?" A slow, chilling smile spread across Noelle's lips.
She continued, "Then admit it in front of Wyatt. Tell him that back then, you deliberately ignored my
calls because you didn't want to take the blfor his amp is aroputation Do! that and Pagree to your deal." Donovan's face twisted with rage.
