No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 737

Noelle grabbed a pair of gloves before reaching for the phone floating in the toilet bowl. But Xenia frantically started pressing the flush button. She couldn't let Noelle get that phone, no matter what.

Noelle chuckled and flung the wet glove straight into Xenia's face. Xenia screamed and stumbled back, immediately rushing away to wash her face.

Noelle turned to Donovan and Frank, who were standing outside the bathroom door. "Did you see that? She's been using this flip phone to keep in touch with her supposedly dead father."

"I didn't! I swear I didn't!" Xenia tried to explain.

Donovan stared at her. "If you're really innocent, why were you in such a hurry to flush that phone down the toilet?"

"I was just scared, that's all!" Xenia stammered.

Frank was doubtful. "Do you think we'll believe that?"

Xenia was out of options. She turned to Donovan. "Donovan, you believe me, right? I've done so much for the Liddell family while Noelle hasn't done anything!"

Donovan's expression turned unpleasant. "At this point, I don't know what to believe."

He had seen how Xenia turned on them earlier. All these years, Xenia had just been pretending. Even he had been fooled.

The way she panicked and tried to destroy that phone just now made it obvious that she was hiding something.

Xenia paled. "Donovan, my father's been dead for years. Weren't you the one who personally confirmed it back then? And now you're doubting me just because of what Noelle said?"

"I didn't believe her at first. But after what had happened, why should I believe you?" Donovan muttered.

Noelle's photo was undeniable. That middle-aged man was the driver from back then. Donovan would never mistake him.

If Xenia's father was still alive, was that car crash years ago really just a tragic coincidence?

Donovan's head spun. He wanted the truth but was also afraid of what he would find out. Because he realized the truth might be more than he could bear.

Xenia was backed into a corner in the bathroom, with nowhere to run. She stared at the Liddell brothers and suddenly laughed.
