No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 505

For the sake of the Liddell family? Noelle threw a cup of Xenia and snarled, "She's only doing this for herself."

Xenia clutched her hand in grievance and seemed itching to protest but dared not.

Donovan immediately stepped forward to defend her. "How dare you resort to violence, Noelle. You're getting more out of control."

"Yeah, I am. What are you gonna do about it?" Noelle shot Donovan with an arrogant and defiant look as if warning him not to mess with her.

Donovan stared at her for moments and relented. If the situation escalated, Xenia's scheming or Noelle's retaliation would both be disastrous for the Liddell family.

He tossed the signed documents to Blake. "You've all grown wings now, huh? Let's see how far you'll actually go."

Noelle indifferently replied, "Don't worry. The company will go further than you've ever imagined."

To be honest, the entertainment company's revival was thanks to Blake's acting skills and the three successful scripts she'd written. Boiling in an awful mood, Donovan glanced at Xenia. "You know what to say to the police, don't you?"

"I do," Xenia mumbled. She could tell he was upset after Noelle's extortion, but she wasn't feeling any better either.

All of this should've been hers. If not for Sean's reminder last night, she would've already fallen out with the Liddells.

Noelle could've stopped the assault, but she'd just stood by and watched. Xenia continued fuming at the thought that after she was assaulted by Gordon, everyone seemed keen to sweep it under the rug. Not only was Noelle not held accountable, but all her demands were also satisfied.

Soon, the police arrived. Xenia turned pale from shock as she curled up on the couch for fear they'd uncover something.

Noelle sat across from her and smirked. "Why do you look so guilty? Didn't you want a thorough investigation? Go on, talk to the police."

Xenia clamped her mouth shut and was too afraid to say a word. If she provoked Noelle, the latter might reveal something to the police.

In the end, the case closed as Gordon's self-murder after he stole from the Liddells and got caught. The body was soon taken away.
