No longer a pushover

Chapter 519

Noelle's gaze was filled with mockery as she watched Xenia being pushed away by Brittany. It was apparent that Xenia's usual pitiful act could not work on

Brittany.

Donovan turned to Xenia and said, "Come here, Xenia. Help us take photos of everyone."

Since Xenia had already offended both Emma and Brittany, he felt it was best for her not to join the group photo session and make things worse. For Xenia, seeing that Donovan did not even speak up for her only deepened her resentment toward the Liddell family.

She felt that they were treating her however they pleased simply because she was not their own flesh and blood. She believed that if Noelle had taken her place, things would definitely be different.

Xenia's heart grew resentful and unwilling. She held up the camera and watched as Donovan walked over to stand beside Noelle. It almost made her want to smash the camera to the ground.

She felt that Donovan standing right next to Noelle meant that he was now standing on her side, both literally and metaphorically.

Xenia planned the charity sales event. She believed that she should have been the center of attention, but Noelle stole that from her.

Frank spoke up with a threatening tone. "You'd better do things right, Xenia. If you were to offend the Greene family and drag our entire family down with you, even Donovan would have no choice but to kick you out."
