No longer a pushover

Chapter 482

In the end, Donovan nodded. "That's right. I asked again, and the script was indeed written solely by Noelle. I was mistaken."

Xenia's gaze darkened. She hadn't expected Donovan to not speak up for her. Doesn't that mean she made a fool of herself at the banquet?

Noelle looked at Xenia. "I know you've always wanted to achieve something, but forcefully attaching yourself to someone else's work won't help you. It'll only harm you. I'm saying this for your own good. You won't blame me for this, right?"

Her sugar-coated words nearly drove Xenia insane. Xenia's expression turned sour. "I need to use the restroom."

As Xenia left, Noelle finally let go of Donovan's arm. She had done it all just to irritate Xenia. After all, Donovan was the only one still standing by Xenia's side.

Noelle continued to play her role throughout the event, avoiding embarrassment, which lessened Donovan's resentment toward her.

Donovan lowered his voice. "See? Isn't this much better? You and Xenia should make peace and get along from now on."

Noelle smirked. "Sure. But you need to be fair and return all my belongings to me. Only then can I do as you say."
