Xenia obediently nodded while Noelle looked up and said, "I'll tell the truth. Why should I turn the other way?"

Noelle stared at her and stated, "Plus, I don't think Gordon took his life. He must've been murdered."

"That's impossible!" Xenia immediately refuted. "He felt guilty and decided to take his life. No one had the motive to kill him either.

Donovan shot Noelle a look of disapproval. "If this issue blows up, it'll harm both your reputations."

"I don't care. I wasn't the one who slept with Gordon either." Noelle's eyes carried a mocking and malicious glint, instantly igniting the fury in Xenia's heart. If only she'd emptied the Liddell family's wealth sooner, Noelle would've died last night!

Blake snapped, "Oh shut up, Xenia!"
