No longer a pushover

Chapter 589

Noelle could tell that Donovan was annoyed with Xenia. After all, her stunt of secretly wearing the dress had offended the Cantrell family's heiress.

Noelle hadn't expected Xenia to mess up this badly in front of Mia. She worried that Mia might fall victim to Xenia's act, but it turned out Mia was more than capable of holding her own.

"But that hadn't happened. If word gets out, even my family will be dragged into this mess. People might even assume Xenia has improper relationships with her brothers." Mia didn't bother beating around the bush.
