When Noelle saw Dominic, her pupils constricted. In the past, she was most terrified of Donovan. Every time he came home, she did her best to hide from him to prevent herself from getting scolded.
After he chased her out of their house in her last lifetime, Noelle gave up on him.
Noelle looked up and said coldly, "There's nothing for me to do after the meeting. Of course I'm going to leave."
"Where are you going?"
Donovan glared at her.
Lucas hurriedly approached them and tried to smooth things over. "Naturally, she's going back to the Liddell Residence. Where else would she go? Isn't that right, Noelle?"
He signalled at Noelle, hoping that she would give in. If not, judging by Donovan's temper, she would probably suffer.
Xenia added disingenuously, "Noelle, since Donovan is back, you should stop holding that grudge of yours."
Lucas frowned at Xenia. Why was she saying that? She knew Noelle was stubborn.
Noelle looked up and replied, "I'm living outside independently."
"Noelle, are you mad?"
Lucas hadn't thought she would reply to him like that. Donovan had phrased his question in that way to give her a chance! However, she didn't seize the opportunity!
Noelle said neutrally, fierceness flashing across her eyes, "I'm very sane."
Donovan paled. "Noelle, I didn't believe you would partake in such rebellious behavior. In the few months of my absence, you've been influenced by that school medic."
"I was done with the Liddells. It has nothing to do with Cedric."
"Did you think I would believe that?"
Donovan continued coldly, "You're never going to see him ever again."
