No longer a pushover

Chapter 335

Donovan snapped, "Noelle, why are you trying to sow discord between us siblings? What could you possibly gain from this?"

"I'm doing it for your own good," Noelle smirked. "Or maybe you three can all go to prison together-one big happy family, united by blood."

"In your dreams," Donovan shot back.

"Exactly, Mr. Liddell," Noelle said, her voice taking on an exaggeratedly earnest one. "That's why I suggested one of you step up and take responsibility. Can't you see how kind I'm being?"

"If Lucas goes to jail, his career will be ruined. Can you live with that?" Donovan countered.

"That's because you're selfish. Shouldn't you step up for your younger brother? You're always talking about family bonds and love, yet when trouble arises, you expect your brother to take the fall. How selfish of you," Noelle quipped, covering her chuckles with a hand.
