No longer a pushover

Chapter 560

"I won't let you die! If you do, what's the point of me living!" Wyatt panicked.

As he spoke, he reached for another fruit knife on the table, but Donovan snatched it over. "Are you crazy?"

"Donovan, you know I've always liked Xenia, but I felt unworthy of her because of my leg. That's why I never dared confess and could only protect her from a distance.

"Now that she's willing to date me, I'm willing to protect her with my life."

Donovan held the knife and looked utterly defeated. On the side, Noelle was enjoying the show. She casually picked up the fruit platter and urged, "Go on, keep acting. Why stop now?"

"Noelle, do you even have a conscience? Can you bear to see Xenia die!" Wyatt's temper snapped. In his anger, he slapped the fruit platter out of her hands.

Noelle casually commented, "Actually, I don't have to press Xenia's charges. I gave Donovan a condition, but I don't think he told you about it."

Both Wyatt and Xenia turned to Donovan. The former asked, "Donovan, what's Noelle's condition?"

Donovan's expression stiffened as he remained silent. Noelle chuckled. "You've blamed me for years for your leg amputation, Wyatt. It's about time Donovan clear my name."

She turned to Donovan. "As long as you clarify what happened back then, I won't press charges against Xenia. Fair trade, right?"
