No longer a pushover

Chapter 571

Noelle watched as Mia's expression turned from shock to a mix of guilt and embarrassment. Her face turned red as Mia eventually replied, "Sorry."

Noelle had expected Mia to explain herself, but Mia instead just apologized immediately. It surprised Noelle.

The Liddell family would never apologize in such situations, after all. They would always come up with a bunch of excuses. In the end, they would even try to guilt- trip Noelle in return, but Mia was not like that.

Noelle spoke up. "You really did owe me an apology. You were the one who tipped Donovan off about the press conference, weren't you?"

Mia was still blushing as she nodded. "It was me. I'm sorry."

Noelle thought for a while and replied, "Do you think that I was the one who made things turn out this way by constantly rebelling against my family?"

"That's what I thought at first. But I realized that you're not that kind of person after spending more time with you. After that, I began to suspect Xenia, and I noticed that Donovan treats her differently," Mia replied.

Noelle replied, "Why don't you come with me to the Liddell residence for a meal? You'll understand the situation better by spending more time around them."

Mia nodded without hesitation. "Sure!"
