No longer a pushover

Chapter 545

Seeing Donovan's expression, Noelle felt a slight sense of satisfaction. It seemed her guess that he had deliberately ignored the calls back then because he did not want to take the blame for Wyatt's amputation was right.

Even though Lucas had exposed the truth, someone like Donovan would never admit it. And now, he expected her to back down for Wyatt's sake and let Xenia off the hook. Well, Donovan should pay a price if he wanted that.

Donovan swallowed his anger. "Noelle, that was years ago. Do you really have to hold onto it? If you want compensation, I can offer you something else."

Noelle was taken aback by his audacity of wanting to avoid it. She said coldly, "I don't need anything else."

Her voice was calm, almost teasing, as she continued, "Mr. Donovan, you always say that as Liddells, we should be willing to sacrifice for family. Well, it looks like it's your turn now."

Back then, he had acted so righteous when demanding sacrifices from her. Now that it was his turn, she wanted to see if he could actually live up to his own words.

Donovan's grip tightened on the steering wheel. "Haven't I sacrificed enough for the Liddells?"

"That's your duty. Besides, Mr. Quigley saved the Liddells' lives-what's a little sacrifice from you? You always say people should repay their debts, don't you?"

Donovan was exasperated by Noelle's reply. Yes, he had said those things before, but he never imagined they would be used against him.
