No longer a pushover

Chapter 461

Blake hadn't expected Noelle to care so much about their parents' inheritance.

At first, he thought Donovan's plan would fail. Noelle had cut ties with the Liddells and wasn't coming back, but surprisingly, she did care.

Noelle looked at Blake and questioned, "So you're all just standing by and watching Mom and Dad's stuff fall into the hands of an outsider? Are you all using that as a bargaining chip against me?"

Blake's expression flickered with guilt. "If you had agreed to make peace with me earlier, none of this would've happened."

"You haven't changed at all." The Liddells had the same demeanor in this and the last life. Though Frank and Blake knew exactly how Xenia was, they chose silence when Donovan handed her their parents' inheritance.

Noelle glanced at Blake with eyes filled with disappointment. "You all are the ones who've truly let Mom and Dad down."

Blake avoided her gaze out of guilt. It was only after she left that frustration overtook him. He kicked over a nearby trash bin with a growl, and as he looked up, he saw Xenia standing there.

He grabbed Xenia over, and she let out a sharp scream. "What are you doing?"
