Xenia sat on the ground for a long time before returning to her own room, her body trembling all the while. She took out a different phone and called a specific number. "Dad, help me kill Noelle, now! Kill that bitch!"
A voice replied from the other end. "Xenia, didn't I tell you to stay calm? I've warned you not to try and fight against Noelle for now."
Xenia burst into tears. "You have no idea what she has done to me today! She forced me to pick up food from the ground and then eat it! Donovan was there, and he just watched me do it!
"The Liddells are all horrible people! They always talk about how important our family ties are, but in the end, I'm still nothing more than an outsider!"
Noelle only needed to lower her head a little, and she was welcomed back into the Liddell family. With her return, she easily took her room back and even took the Hopeful Hearts Foundation and Moonbright Entertainment from Xenia.
Xenia was filled with hatred for Noelle, but even so, she did not mention anything about the video recording.
The voice replied, "It's not too late yet, Xenia. Do as I say, secure the funds in the foundation and transfer them to the account I told you about.
"After that, once the AI project's contract is signed and Donovan transfers the money, you won't have to even look at the Liddells anymore."
"Alright, fine, I get it already," Xenia replied and hung up the phone, her expression icy.
She had decided that she would make the entire Liddell family regret taking up Noelle's side. Once the Liddell family was bankrupt, she could not wait to see if Noelle could still put up that haughty and noble act.
…
The next day, Noelle woke up early just to finalize the contract with Donovan. But Donovan never showed up.
Frank looked at her and said, "Donovan left early in the morning for some urgent matter."
"He's not backing out now, is he?" Noelle asked.
"Noelle, with that video in your hands, Donovan won't be going back on his word."
Frank was certain that Donovan would not want the incident with Gordon to reach public ears. But Noelle still had her doubts.
Just then, Blake appeared and said, "I know. It must be the Cantrell family. I guess whatever happened during the charity sales event yesterday must have displeased them, so Donovan is busy cleaning up the mess.
