Chapter 434

"I understand now. I will make the Liddell family regret everything." Xenia's eyes burned with fury. She would never forgive the Liddell family and Noelle.

Noelle returned to the hospital with Cedric. She couldn't shake the heavy feeling

in her chest. She never expected Blake to be so cruel to her, all because he believed she had abandoned him back then.

How ridiculous. He would rather believe Xenia than trust her.
