No longer a pushover

Chapter 457

Noelle hadn't expected Donovan to be the one answering the call. Her voice was cold as she questioned, "Where's Frank?"

"Frank? Who's that? You don't see him as your brother, so what makes you think you deserve any of the Liddell family's assets? You're not a Liddell anymore, so what right do you have?"

Donovan was relishing this moment of finally having the upper hand over Noelle. She'd been a pain in the ass for way too long.

Noelle's tone remained firm. "Mom and Dad left me that, and you have no right to decide who it goes to. I'd rather donate it to some charitable organization than let Xenia have it."

"Keep dreaming, Noelle. Unless you drop the lawsuit against Blake and Lucas, I'll give Xenia everything our parents left you. I mean it."

With that, he hung up. Noelle kicked the table in frustration and felt utterly disgusted, as if she'd swallowed a fly.

Then, she received a call from Maple Enterprise. "Noelle, we have bad news to share."

"Go ahead."

"Frank's company lost the bid, right? But they've recently been making moves again and are actively competing with us. They're also spreading negative rumors about our company."

Upon hearing that, Noelle's lips curled into a cold smile. Sure enough, the Liddell family was making their move.
