Donovan frowned. "The event is just a few hours away, Noelle. Why are you making a scene now?"

"Making a scene? I'm cleaning up Xenia's mess!"

Noelle stepped forward and yanked his tie. "Are you out of your mind? This is a charity sales event, not some extravagant or luxury dinner party. If people see this, they'll mock us, Liddells!"

Donovan's expression darkened as he finally realized something was off. Xenia hurriedly explained, "I didn't use that much expensive stuff, Donovan. The guests attending today are influential, and I just wanted to make sure the food and decorations are top-tier so they won't look down on us."

"Idiot!" Donovan rubbed his temples in frustration and could barely say a word.

Seeing his reaction, Xenia turned to Noelle. "See? Donovan is on my side."
