No longer a pushover

When Noelle took out her phone, the entire room fell silent.

Xenia shivered in fear and turned to Donovan. "I wanna get some rest, Donovan. I don't want to stay here and see Gordon anymore. That disgusting freak."

"Wait, there's no rush." Blake blocked her way and taunted, "Weren't you confident? Now that you're feeling guilty, you're trying to run away?"

Why couldn't they just let her go? Noelle played the video. Though the lightning
