Blake spoke up. "Xenia, Noelle just came home, so you should accommodate her."

Frank chimed in as well. "Any seat is the same, no? You can sit here, Xenia."

Xenia was so angry that she burst into tears. Back then, she had always deliberately taken away Noelle's seat, and her older brothers had always spoken up for her. She never expected that one day, she would be the one on the receiving end.

Donovan remained silent. Xenia was left with no choice but to take another seat, still feeling wronged. Noelle noticed that Xenia was visibly displeased, which was what she wanted to see.

Gordon soon arrived to serve up the dishes along with other housekeepers.

Noelle's cutlery slipped from her hand and fell to the ground, so she looked up at Gordon and said, "Give me a new pair."

Gordon was starting to lose his patience. "Ms. Noelle, all the dishes were prepared by the head chef. There's no way that they would taste bad."
