Noelle watched blankly as Xenia faked a stomach ache. After all, she had seen enough of this bitch act over the years to know exactly what was going on. One glance was all it took to see that Xenia was just using the belly pain excuse to get out of her promise.
Xenia turned to Wyatt pitifully. "Wyatt, I don't think I can do it anymore. My stomach hurts."
Wyatt nodded. "I know. You're pregnant now. So the situation is different."
"But I'm afraid Noelle will be mad." Xenia glanced at Noelle.
As expected, Wyatt turned to scold Noelle. "Do you have any sense of decency? Can't you see that your sister-in-law isn't feeling well? Why are you still forcing her? Where's your heart?"
Noelle looked at him coldly. "Then get out. Both of you. This is my villa."
Xenia retorted, "Didn't you say the villa would go to the Liddell heir? That makes this our house now. You're the one who should leave!"
Noelle chuckled. "What an absurd dream. So what's it going to be? Will you walk out on your own, or do I have to make you?"
"Noelle, don't push things too far!" Wyatt was growing increasingly frustrated with her. How could she humiliate her own brother?
Noelle looked toward the butler. "Throw all their stuff out the front gate."
The butler nodded and led the maids upstairs. Seeing that things were going south, Xenia quickly clutched Wyatt's arm. "Wyatt, what do we do?"
Wyatt was furious. "Noelle! Do you dare repeat yourself in front of Mom and Dad? Are you trying to kill the Liddell family's heir?"
Noelle rolled her eyes. "Is kicking you two out enough to kill you? Wyatt, do you not have a place to live outside this house?"
Wyatt turned red with anger and embarrassment. He snapped, "I've been working under Carl all these years! When would I have had time to buy a property?"
The truth was he had lost most of his money from failed investments and stock trading. Aside from the family dividends, he had no other income. Compared to Donovan and Frank, or even the other brothers, he had no career of his own.
