As expected, the Liddell family was full of awful people. Xenia was determined to make them pay.
The second payment today was even larger than the first. She could finally break free from the Liddells as long as she got her hands on it. Thus, Xenia had no choice but to swallow her pride and fall silent immediately.
Noelle grinned at this. It really was satisfying to build happiness on someone else's misery. She headed straight to the dining room to eat.
Outside, Xenia was still pestering Wyatt to find a way to get her a new designer white dress. Frank walked into the dining room with a complicated look. "Noelle, was that really necessary?"
Noelle countered, "Don't you know I'm a petty person?"
Frank was speechless. He knew now that most of his past misunderstandings were caused by Xenia stirring up trouble.
Noelle wasn't actually like that.
Donovan's angry voice rang out, "Since you're admitting to it, then you should take responsibility!"
He had just returned from the office and was furious upon hearing about what Noelle did.
Noelle set down her spoon. "And what should I take responsibility for?"
"I know everything! How can you go back on your word? Xenia apologized, but you still weren't satisfied. And now you would rather destroy the dress!"
Donovan thought Xenia was exaggerating. But he was stunned to hear Noelle admitting it. When did she become so unreasonable?
Noelle had expected Donovan to come and accuse her, so she responded calmly, "Isn't this what you always thought of me? Haven't you always said that about me since I was a child? Now I'm finally acting the way you described, and you're still not happy?"
Noelle hadn't done any of those things as a kid. But once Xenia smeared her name, everything was pinned on her. Now, Noelle figured she might as well admit to it all rather than being used again and again.
Donovan was angry beyond words.
Frank quickly tried to smooth things over. "Donovan, let it go. There's a lot going on today. No need to fuss over the little things."
Donovan took the opportunity to back down. Noelle was being too arrogant. There was no way she would back down that easily.
He snorted. "At least Xenia is capable of handling an important position at the Liddell Corporation. What about you?"
