No longer a pushover

Chapter 433

Blake gripped Xenia's neck, his rage consuming him. At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to strangle Xenia to death. He had opposed Donovan's decision to bring the driver's daughter into the Liddell family from the very

beginning. And now, she had indeed become a curse.

Noelle had run away from home and severed ties with the family. Blake was sure Xenia's manipulation played a huge role in it. Xenia's face turned blue as she struggled for air, unable to utter a single word.

The manager reminded Blake, "Let go, quickly! What if she dies?"

It was only then that Blake released his grip. Xenia gasped desperately for air, her throat and lungs burning with pain.

For a moment, she truly thought she was going to die. If murder weren't illegal, Blake would have killed her already.

Xenia stammered, "Blake... I was young and naive and said the wrong thing. Please don't hold it against me."

"Beg." Blake's icy gaze bore into her as he pulled out his phone and started recording. "Apologize to Noelle. Explain everything to her. Show her your sincerity. Otherwise, I'll make sure you live in agony."

Xenia clutched her dress tightly in resentment. She hated this. If only she could contact her father, he could just kill Blake and be done with it.

Earlier, Donovan had known Blake would resort to violence, yet he still made her apologize. The Liddell family was treating her worse and worse. She needed to find a way out—it was time to meet her father, who had come back from the dead.
