No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 472

Noelle took a deep breath. In her past life, by the time she learned about this screenwriting event, it was already too late. Xenia had stolen the credit and was trending as the most talented screenwriter.

That was when Noelle realized her scripts had been signed under someone else's name. Yet, what could she have done? She had been forced to watch helplessly as Xenia took everything from her, leaving her with nothing but ruin.

But this time? Noelle was not going to let Xenia have her way.

...

Inside the banquet hall, Xenia stood at Donovan's side, wrapped in a designer gown, radiating elegance and poise. She needed to make a good impression because starting today, she was officially MM Bean—the brilliant screenwriter behind the latest industry hit.

As for Noelle? That idiot would forever be nothing more than a stepping stone. First, she would become an acclaimed screenwriter.

Then, she would take over Blake's company. Once she controlled all his resources, she would use them to elevate herself to stardom.

The more Xenia thought about it, the more excited she became. Becoming a famous actress had always been her childhood dream.

Sean's plan was already proving successful as Donovan had given her the charity foundation and was even handing her control over Blake's company. Xenia believed she was on her way to the top.

...

As the venue filled, the host took the stage and announced, "I'm sure everyone here is familiar with the hottest TV series of the season. Tonight, we welcome a representative from Moonbright Entertainment to say a few words."

Donovan stepped onto the stage, delivering a few polished remarks. Then, with a proud smile, he turned to Xenia. "Moonbright Entertainment faced some challenges in recent years, but fortunately, I have a very talented sister."

Applause erupted across the room. Xenia basked in the attention, her heels clicking confidently as she ascended the stage. She had worked for this moment; her years of effort had finally brought her here.

However, just as she reached the steps, the doors to the banquet hall swung open. When Xenia saw the pair of figures strolling in, her breath caught, and her smile froze.

Seeing Noelle and Blake, Xenia's mind reeled as she wondered what Noelle was doing there. Then, a wave of unease crashed over her.
