No longer a pushover

Chapter 383

Noelle watched Xenia while smirking internally. Was she eyeing Magnus as her next target?

Noelle kept her distance. "I don't know you well."

The expression on Xenia's face froze. She looked devastated. "Noelle, we grew up together in the Liddell family. Even though I was adopted, I treated you as a sister despite your dislike for me."

Noelle grimaced. She was starting up again. How annoying. It was always this tactic.

After putting on her pitiful act, she turned to Magnus and said, "Mr. Greene, my apologies for subjecting you to that. Noelle has always thought I'd take her brothers away from her, but that's not what I'm trying to do at all."

He raised an eyebrow and remarked, "Since Noelle doesn't like you, you should take the hint and not appear before her."

Noelle had made it clear she didn't like Xenia. So, he wouldn't like her as well.

She stiffened, not expecting Magnus to say so. Didn't men adore girls who seemed to be timid? Why weren't her methods working on Magnus?

Noelle looked at her with a smirk. "Did you think everyone would be as dumb as the idiots in the Liddell family for you to run circles around them?"

The smile on her face nearly fell. However, she had to keep up her reputation before Magnus.
