No longer a pushover

Chapter 175 Donovan pitied Xenia when he looked at her helpless expression.

He turned to the investigators and said, "I know Xenia well. She wouldn't cheat, not to mention how bad her grades are. There's no need to cheat."

Xenia was struck by his tone. She felt offended. Her grades were bad because she had been distracted by the competition.

However, she still faked gratitude. "Thank you for believing me, Donovan."

They had seen this millions of times over. "My apologies. We need to get through the procedure. I hope you'll cooperate."

Why was he so gung-ho when they wanted to investigate Noelle? Yet, when they needed to look into Xenia, Donovan was doing everything to stop them!

It looked like the rumors were true. The Liddells favored their adopted daughter while abusing their biological daughter.

Donovan said coldly, "No. You can't conduct the investigation just like that. We've got lawyers."

"Mr. Liddell. Your behavior will be noted into the final investigation report. Is it guilt that's making you prevent us from investigating?"

"Why would I feel guilty? Xenia is sensitive. What if your investigation traumatizes her?"

He egged Donovan on, "However, just now when you asked us to investigate Noelle, you were not saying all this. Is your favoritism that obvious?"
