Xenia became visibly worried. She realized that she had to come up with something as she could not afford to let Gordon expose her.
Noelle noticed her panicking expression and smirked. She was curious to see how Xenia would defend herself.
Gordon was soon awakened by the pain.
Blake dragged Gordon out of the bathroom and stomped on his hand. "Speak! Who told you to do this?"
Just as Gordon was about to speak, Xenia lunged forward and began punching and kicking him. "You bastard! Who told you to do this to me? I'll kill you!"
Gordon was stunned. When he saw that Xenia's clothes were disheveled, he said, "Why is it you?"
It did not make any sense. As they were in Noelle's room, the person on the bed should have been Noelle! He could not tell what was happening.
Xenia sobbed uncontrollably. There were even bruises on her neck.
Gordon looked at her and subconsciously swallowed. Slowly, he realized that the person he had slept with was actually Xenia, and for a moment, he felt kind of happy.
Xenia slapped him hard across the face and shouted, "Who told you to do this?! Who set me up?!"
Gordon thought for a while and then looked at Noelle. "It was her! Ms. Noelle was the one who ordered me to do it!"
Xenia's gaze turned cold for a moment before she turned to look at Noelle with a heartbroken expression. "So it was you, Noelle! It's no wonder you asked me to come to your room at midnight to revise the event proposal! You even made me drink the milk!"
She started sobbing uncontrollably once more.
Noelle burst into laughter and replied, "That's some really good acting right there! If only you could act this well when you're on set.
"Why are your acting skills so bad when you're on the clock, Xenia? You could just do what you've been doing all the time."
She did not expect Xenia to twist the truth around and blame her instead.
Xenia was still sobbing as she turned to Donovan. "Donovan, it's the truth! You can't just take Noelle's side because she's your sister! I'm the victim here!"
Donovan looked at Noelle helplessly and asked, "Why did you do this?"
