No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 763

Noelle was startled. Wasn't Xenia supposed to be locked up? When had she been released? She looked at Xenia, who was in complete disarray. The latter's face was bruised, and it was clear she'd suffered a beating.

It seemed Xenia hadn't had a good time in the Liddell residence these past few days. Noelle wondered if it was Wyatt or Donovan who'd laid hands on her.

Xenia glared at Noelle with a murderous, bloodshot gaze like she could devour her alive.

Noelle responded with a cold glare. "Sean's a murderer. Even if he were cut into pieces, he'd still deserve it."

"You bitch! I'm going to kill you!" Xenia had been terrified ever since learning Sean had fallen into Noelle's hands. Now, she lunged at Noelle with a fruit knife in hand.

Frank immediately dashed over. "Noelle, watch out!"

Before Noelle could even move, Frank yanked her back and shielded her. The force hurt her wrist badly.

Xenia's first lunge missed Noelle. On her second try, she aimed at Noelle's face.

This time, Donovan reached out and grabbed the fruit knife barehanded. Blood instantly dripped onto Noelle's face.

Looking at the knife just inches from her, her heart finally settled. Frank rushing over just now almost killed her!

"Noelle, are you okay?" Frank asked in concern.

Noelle said nothing and shoved him away. "Who told you to jump in like that?"

"I was just worried about you."

From the side, Wyatt chimed in, "Do you even have a conscience, Noelle? Frank just saved you."

Noelle sarcastically snapped, "Oh, right. Thanks to him saving me, I almost got my face slashed by Xenia!"

With her current skills, dodging Xenia was a piece of cake.

She bent down, picked up the fruit knife from the floor, and held it to Xenia's face.

"W-What are you doing?" Xenia felt the cold metal brush her cheek, and cold sweat instantly broke out on her nose.

Noelle's voice was calm and emotionless as she asked, "What do you think? I'm just returning the favor."

"You wouldn't dare!" Xenia panicked and turned to Wyatt to plead, "Wyatt, help me! I don't want to be disfigured! Didn't you say you loved my face the most?"

Wyatt looked at her and was torn between love and hate. He'd adored her for years, after all. He hated how she'd sunk so low, but part of him wanted her to see him as her only lifeline now.

Seeing his hesitation, Xenia burst into tears. "Wyatt, you said no matter what happens, you'd take care of me for life! Have you forgotten? I'm begging you!"

She refused to be disfigured.
