No longer a pushover

Chapter 397

Noelle eyed Blake and quickly pieced together what was happening. It seemed they were trying to force her into agreeing not to press charges.

The corners of her lips curled into a sneer. "Of course, I won't press charges."

Blake smiled in satisfaction. He had expected Noelle to be smart enough to know what to say and what not to.

But she shoved him aside and continued, "Because I was never the one pressing charges in the first place. Lucas stole commercial confidentiality, and it's Maple Enterprise that's suing him."

Blake's smile froze. He hadn't expected Noelle to be this uncooperative.

Noelle crushed the cans of streamers under her foot with a decisive stomp. Then, she shot the group of rabid fans a chilling look before walking away.

The fans were intimidated by the sight of crushed cans and dared not stop her.

Blake had the fans cleared out and went after Noelle. "Stop right there! Did I say you could leave?"

His face darkened as he caught up to her. "Xenia apologized last night, and I've talked to Donovan. Everyone acknowledges their mistakes, and I was trying to give you a way out. What more do you want?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that? The public doesn't know Donovan was involved. If that gets exposed, what do you think will happen to you, a nominated Best Actor?" Noelle snapped.
