No longer a pushover

Chapter 561

When Noelle heard Wyatt's question, she was equally curious. Donovan protected Xenia so much. Even after knowing about her kickbacks from the foundation, he was still willing to clean up her mess.

Could it be that Donovan liked Xenia, too? The question lingered in the air, and the entire hall fell into silence.

Xenia gawked at Donovan in disbelief. She'd never thought about it that way. Donovan was rarely home, after all, and he was much older than she was. That idea had never crossed her mind.

But if Donovan did like her, that'd certainly be better than Wyatt.

Donovan immediately reprimanded Wyatt. "What nonsense are you sprouting? I've always seen Xenia as my younger sister.

"Do you think I'm like you? Someone who gets his hands on his younger sister?"

Donovan was furious at Wyatt's words. To say he liked Xenia was a ridiculous claim. There was a reason he protected her, but it definitely wasn't because he liked her. He wasn't that desperate.

Wyatt grew mad. "But Xenia isn't our biological sister."

"I handled her adoption paperwork, and she's legally our sister now. That means you two can't get married or register as a couple."
