No longer a pushover

Chapter 531

Xenia was hinting at something.

Noelle smirked. "Are you saying I secretly embezzled the foundation's donations?"

"I didn't mean that. I just wanted to remind you that you can't use charity funds. It wouldn't look good for the Liddell family if word gets out, right?" She waved her hand dismissively. "Just pretend I never said anything."

Noelle clicked her tongue. "Pretend you never said anything? You already said it, and now you're pretending to be innocent?"

"Noelle, I only said it for your own good." Xenia's eyes welled up with tears as she turned to Emma. "You were at the charity auction that day and should know exactly how much was raised."

Emma nodded. "Of course I know, but what does that have to do with Noelle's account verification today?"

Xenia hadn't expected Emma to defend Noelle. How could she not have even the slightest doubt about Noelle?

Laura looked at Noelle. "I think verifying the funds means the money will be temporarily held back for a few days."

This was to prevent people from borrowing money just to pass verification and then withdrawing it immediately after receiving their membership card.
