No longer a pushover

Noelle looked at Mia and seriously said, "Xenia will never admit to it, no matter what you say. In the end, everyone watching will just think you're using your powers to pick on her. There are so many people watching, and it'll ruin your reputation if word spreads.

"You don't have to stand up for me. I appreciate it."

"But this is too unfair for you! That bitch did it on purpose; I saw it with my own eyes!" Mia protested.

"I understand. Things like this have happened many times since I was a child. Thank you for standing up for me and forcing them to apologize, but you might end up being the affected one."

That was why Noelle had pulled Mia away. It was to make sure people wouldn't spread rumors that might harm the latter's reputation.

Mia's eyes turned red. "I'm sorry that I misunderstood." It was only after witnessing Noelle's suffering firsthand that she understood what Noelle had been through.

Noelle sighed helplessly. "I'm fine. I stopped caring about them ages ago. By the way, didn't you say you wanted to break up with Donovan?"

"I mentioned it to my family, but they said these are just small matters and told me to talk things out with Donovan.

"Cancelling the engagement won't be easy, but I'll find a way." Mia shrugged helplessly.

"Donovan cares the most about his pride. If you keep going against him, he'll probably be the one to initiate the breakup."

Upon seeing Mia's troubled look, Noelle guessed she had difficulties with the Cantrell family. At that moment, Salena arrived and came up to Mia. "Why aren't you with Mr. Liddell?"
