Noelle was startled. Wasn't Xenia supposed to be locked up? When had she been released? She looked at Xenia, who was in complete disarray. The latter's face was bruised, and it was clear she'd suffered a beating.
It seemed Xenia hadn't had a good time in the Liddell residence these past few days. Noelle wondered if it was Wyatt or Donovan who'd laid hands on her.
Xenia glared at Noelle with a murderous, bloodshot gaze like she could devour her alive.
Noelle responded with a cold glare. "Sean's a murderer. Even if he were cut into pieces, he'd still deserve it."
"You bitch! I'm going to kill you!" Xenia had been terrified ever since learning Sean had fallen into Noelle's hands. Now, she lunged at Noelle with a fruit knife in hand.
Frank immediately dashed over. "Noelle, watch out!"
Before Noelle could even move, Frank yanked her back and shielded her. The force hurt her wrist badly.
Xenia's first lunge missed Noelle. On her second try, she aimed at Noelle's face.
This time, Donovan reached out and grabbed the fruit knife barehanded. Blood instantly dripped onto Noelle's face.
Looking at the knife just inches from her, her heart finally settled. Frank rushing over just now almost killed her!
"Noelle, are you okay?" Frank asked in concern.
Noelle said nothing and shoved him away. "Who told you to jump in like that?"
"I was just worried about you."
From the side, Wyatt chimed in, "Do you even have a conscience, Noelle? Frank just saved you."
Noelle sarcastically snapped, "Oh, right. Thanks to him saving me, I almost got my face slashed by Xenia!"
With her current skills, dodging Xenia was a piece of cake.
