No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 501

When Noelle took out her phone, the entire room fell silent.

Xenia shivered in fear and turned to Donovan. "I wanna get some rest, Donovan. I don't want to stay here and see Gordon anymore. That disgusting freak."

"Wait, there's no rush." Blake blocked her way and taunted, "Weren't you confident? Now that you're feeling guilty, you're trying to run away?"

A moment ago, Xenia was acting like she was going to convict Noelle. But now that there was a video, she was trying to escape.

Xenia's eyes flickered with diffidence. "The truth is obvious that I'm the victim here. Nothing happened to Noelle anyway."

Why couldn't they just let her go? Noelle played the video. Though the lightning was dim, it was clear that Gordon was pressing down on Xenia.

Donovan turned away and instructed, "Turn up the volume." This wasn't something he should watch as the eldest brother of the Liddells.

Soon, Gordon's curses came from the video. "So what if you're from a rich family? Now you're just like a defenseless woman like any other! Xenia won't let you off that easily since you've offended her—"

Upon hearing that, Frank immediately slapped Xenia's face. "What do you have to say for yourself now? How could you be so vicious?"

He'd never expected Xenia to go as far as to have Gordon do something like that! As an adopted daughter, how dare she!

Blake turned to Donovan. "You heard that, didn't you? The truth is clear that Xenia orchestrated all of this! This is who she really is!"

Donovan looked as if he'd just suffered a heavy blow. He looked up at Noelle, and his expression carried a hint of guilt, yet he didn't know what to say.

Just then, Gordon shouted, "I-I was drunk and talking nonsense! This was all my doing, and I received orders from no one! Ms. Liddell wanted to kick me out, so I did it out of resentment!"

He took the blame for everything. Upon hearing that, Xenia finally relaxed. Now, none of this had anything to do with her. She started crying pitifully.

"Donovan, I understand Noelle has never liked me, but I've never harbored any bad intentions toward her, and I'd never do anything that cruel! Plus, am I not the real victim?"

Feeling soft-hearted after hearing her pleas, Donovan helped her up. "I know that's not who you are."

Blake scoffed. "Xenia, this is what it means to shoot yourself in the foot. Serves you right!"
