No longer a pushover

Chapter 586

Everyone in the room fell silent, especially Wyatt and Xenia. After all, Donovan had always been the authoritative figure in the family. No one had ever seen him treated like this before.

After getting slapped, Donovan's gaze darkened, but he quickly regained his composure. Still, he sounded harsh. "Mia, even if Noelle didn't do it, she's still involved."

"Do you think I'm blind? That I couldn't see what that butch just did?" Mia was clearly annoyed. "My legs may not be good, but my eyes work just fine."

Donovan had no response to that. In the end, he turned to Xenia. "Come here!"

Xenia hesitated. She didn't want to admit what she had done. Damn it. How did that crippled woman catch her in the act?

Before she could react, Wyatt stepped in and shielded her from Donovan. "Donovan, I was the one who made the decision to let Xenia wear the dress. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Why are you making things difficult for her? Don't forget, she has done a lot for the Liddell family."

Wyatt's guilt-tripping left Donovan speechless.

Donovan pointed at him angrily. "Who are you to talk to me like this?"

"If you're going to protect Ms. Cantrell, then I'm going to protect Xenia." Wyatt was sure of himself as if he had done nothing wrong. Meanwhile, Xenia hid behind him.
