No longer a pushover

Chapter 536

Donovan's expression turned solemn. If news got out, it would humiliate the family. Noelle's gaze sharpened as Xenia walked in.

So Xenia had heard about the incident and rushed over to plead her case. That was exactly why Noelle had come early. She wanted to strike first.

Xenia stiffened when she saw the sanitary pads scattered on the floor. "Donovan, let me explain."

Donovan sneered. "What is there to explain? How could you buy expired products and embarrass us at Laura's charity event?"

Xenia teared up. "Donovan, I was just investigating this myself! I was deceived, too. I never expected them to sell me expired sanitary pads."

Noelle pressed. "Liar. I checked the payment. You paid significantly more than the regular market price for this brand. There's no way they would've sent you expired products unless you did something, and they cut costs by delivering old stock."

"I didn't do anything!" Xenia denied. "Donovan, this was my first time handling something like this. I lacked experience, and the suppliers took advantage of that.

"I mean, I'm a woman myself. Why would I knowingly buy expired sanitary pads?"

She looked pitiful. But Donovan remained stern. "Regardless, you were responsible. You should have been more careful. What do you plan to do now that we've become the butt of the joke?"

Xenia pouted. "I'll explain everything to Laura."
