No longer a pushover

Emma's words carried a significant amount of weight, and the message she wanted to convey was clear.

Donovan's face turned pale. The Liddell family could hardly afford to offend the Parham family, let alone the Greene family.

Everyone present silently observed the chaos. Not a single soul dared to utter even a single word, for no one present dared to even think about crossing the Greene family.

Xenia was on the verge of tears, and she started to choke up. "Donovan, I had no idea that she was Mrs. Greene! Noelle could have told me, but she didn't say a thing!"

Had Noelle given her a heads-up, she would not possibly have offended Emma. Donovan turned to look at Noelle. "Why didn't you tell her?"

Things would not have escalated to such a point had Noelle done so. Noelle sneered. "You're actually blaming me for this?"

She had also just learned that the guest was Magnus's mother, Emma Brown. It was clear that the Liddells had not changed a single bit.

Emma immediately stepped in front of Noelle before coldly addressing Donovan. "What are you yelling at her for? Noelle had no idea who I was either, and she didn't do anything wrong!"

Noelle was surprised by Emma's protective gesture and felt a warm feeling in her heart.
