No longer a pushover

Chapter 399

Noelle seethed. Her expression was cold as she asked, "Are you sure you want me to shoot the TV series? Aren't you afraid I'll ruin it?"

Blake replied, "It's fine. You're my sister, after all. I can tolerate your lack of acting skills, but I won't tolerate your disobedience and constant defiance."

He placed the script on her desk. "Take a good look at your role. Xenia is the protagonist, and you're the supporting bitchy character."

"Bitchy character? You should get Xenia to play that. She's a professional."

"Jealous, are we? Admit that I'm your brother, and I'll make you the lead. Xenia can be the supporting character. That way, you can't accuse me of favoritism anymore."

Noelle stared at Blake's insidious smile and coldly replied, "Donovan will think you're ungrateful if he finds out what you're doing. Xenia has done the Liddells a favor, after all."

"Donovan cares too much about his ego. She's just the daughter of a driver, so how could she ever compare to you?"

"Don't you think your words are contradictory?" Noelle asked and recalled how Blake used to treat Xenia quite well.

"You've always believed I treat Xeiua better than you, haven't you? But there's a reason for that—she saved my life."

Xenia had saved Blake's life? Noelle didn't recall having any memory of that.
