No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 521

Donovan was furious. "What's your problem, Noelle?"

Noelle retorted, "What exactly has Xenia suffered because of me?"

"You were the one who offended Mrs. Parham just now. Don't think that you can deny what happened just because Mrs. Greene is backing you up."

"So you're saying that I should ignore the unwell Mrs. Greene like Xenia did and just focus on currying favor with Mrs. Parham?"

Noelle's tone was sharp as she continued, "If that's the case, then you've truly offended the Greene family. Do you still wish to survive in Yasnia or not?"

Frank chimed in. "Noelle's right. We have her to thank for what happened today. All Xenia ever does is cause trouble. She's useless! She brought all of this onto herself!"

Donovan noticed Xenia's aggrieved expression and replied coldly. "This matter is settled."

Noelle stood firm on her decision. "Like I said, I don't agree!"

Donovan turned to her and replied, "It isn't up to you, Noelle. The foundation hasn't even been handed over to you yet. Let Xenia handle it just for once, and you'll have full authority over the foundation after this. That's enough, isn't it?"

Xenia smirked after hearing Donovan's words. There was no way she would give up on such an opportunity.

Frank stood by Noelle's side. "Donovan, if what you're doing now isn't favoritism, then what is?"

Donovan simply could not stand Noelle's arrogance and wanted to kick her down a notch. "You're all calling me biased, but what I'm doing now is nothing but being fair! What happens to the foundation is still up to me!"

Just then, the door to the lounge was pushed open. Cedric entered the room with a cold expression, having overheard the argument going on inside. He walked straight to Noelle and took her hand.

Noelle did not expect him to show up at all.

Cedric then turned to Donovan and said, "So your idea of maintaining fairness is to force Noelle to make compromises? You must be crazy if you think this is anything but fair! It's no wonder you became known as the Cantrell family's live-in son-in-law!"

Noelle was stunned by how brutal Cedric was with his words. The words he had spoken had stabbed Donovan right in the heart with precision.

Donovan was enraged after being referred to as a live-in son-in-law. "Say that again if you dare!"
