No longer a pushover

Chapter 153

Noelle's eyes gleamed with cold determination. "We haven't done anything wrong, so why should we apologize?"

"Noelle, you're so naive. Even if Justin started it, so what? Once the Parham family gets involved, your boyfriend might not even keep his job. That's how the Parham family operates, do you understand?" Xenia said, her voice dripping with smug arrogance. Alfred couldn't hold back any longer. "You little bitch. The Parham family isn't as bad as you're making it out to be. Do you really know them that well? Stop spreading lies about people you don't even know."

"Haha, of course I know the Parham family. But people like you wouldn't get it. When the powerful want to crush the ordinary, it's as easy as squashing an ant."

Xenia's tone was full of pride as if she had already married Justin and become part of the Parham family.

Alfred was left speechless by her arrogance. It was utterly absurd.

Watching Xenia walk away, he couldn't resist commenting, "Nelly, do people in your family always talk like that?"

"Xenia usually pretends to be sweet, but now that she's with Justin, she's getting carried away. Looks like her true colors are finally showing," Noelle replied.

Noelle cast a worried glance at Cedric. "I'll hire a lawyer. I won't let you apologize."

After all, Cedric had only acted because of her, and she couldn't just stand by.

Seeing her concern, Cedric's expression softened. "Don't worry, it's just a minor issue."

Alfred added, "Nelly, don't stress. I'm here too. That kid won't dare to cause trouble."
