No longer a pushover

Chapter 520

Noelle sneered at Xenia's pitiful act. "I hope you won't do something like this again, lest you suffer from the consequences of your own actions once more."

Just now, in front of an entire crowd, Xenia had deliberately picked up a dessert from the ground and given it to Noelle to eat.

But now, karma had come full circle for Xenia. It was a classic case of shooting herself in her own foot.

Emma looked at Noelle and spoke gently. "So long as you deem that this is ample punishment. Noelle, I already knew that you were a good person when we last met."

Donovan was surprised. "Noelle, have you met Mrs. Greene before?"

It was no wonder that Emma had been so protective of Noelle, he thought.

Noelle looked at Donovan and replied, "It was back when Blake beat me up so bad that I got hospitalized. I had run into Mrs. Greene at the hospital."

"Yes, and Noelle had helped me out once back then at the hospital," Emma replied.

She then turned to Donovan and continued, "I hope that you will all treat Noelle fairly. I get along with her quite well, so if I ever find out that the Liddells are mistreating her, I will personally come to settle the matter."
