No longer a pushover

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

As soon as she spoke, she noticed the drastic change in Xenia's expression. It was obvious the latter didn't want the issue to escalate.

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.

"Plus, we were all in our rooms last night. Who could've done it?"

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!

As she recalled Sean's words, Xenia cried pitifully. "Donovan, it's okay if I suffer. But Noelle and I were in the same room last night. If this spreads, no one will believe she wasn't involved."

Blake snapped, "Oh shut up, Xenia!"

Noelle took out her phone. "I have a video as proof that you're the one who slept with Gordon."
