Xenia would never leave the Liddell family so easily.


    Donovan happened to be walking toward her when she limped out of the hospital room. She immediately pretended to be weak and copsed onto the floor.


    Donovan rushed over and held Xenia. "What happened? Why are you so badly hurt?"


    Xenia shook her head weakly. "I''m fine. I need to apologize to Noelle and exin everything to her so she can forgive ke."


    She pretended to faint after that. Xenia had no intention of apologizing to Noelle at all.


    Donovan immediately had the doctors take Xenia away before stepping into the hospital room to confront ke. "It''s one thing to teach her a lesson, but why did you have to be so ruthless? She has a broken bone!"


    ke sneered. "Don''t act like some righteous hero. Weren''t you the one who told Xenia toe with me yesterday? Don''t pretend you didn''t know what would happen. I wasn''t going to just let her off."


    Donovan looked guilty. "Even so, you didn''t have to go this far. Did you want to beat her to death? Her father died saving our parents. How do you think the Liddell family will look if news got out?"


    ke scoffed. "Don''t forget, Donovan. I was only this ruthless to Noelle because Xenia deceived me!"


    Donovan sighed. "Fine, I know you feel bad for Noelle now. But she didn''t hesitate to turn her back on you, remember? You should be worrying about how to deal with the fallout from the livestream incident."


    ke was stubborn. "Xenia needs to apologize and let Noelle vent her anger. Noelle will stop going after me once Xenia apologizes."


    After all, he was a victim since he was tricked by Xenia.


    Donovan scoffed. "That''s your problem. Solve it yourself. I''m done meddling."


    In the next room, Xenia slowly regained consciousness and finally realized the full extent of her injuries. Her rib was broken. No wonder she was in so much pain. She pulled out her phone and sent a message: "ke nearly beat me to death. Why do I still have to act pitiful?"


    A response came quickly: "The worse ke beats you, the more sympathy and guilt you''ll earn from Donovan and Frank. That means bigger rewards.


    "Set your mind on the money. You won''t have to live under their thumb anymore once you bleed the Liddell family dry."


    Xenia thought back to her meeting with Sean yesterday. She still couldn''t believe he was alive. She had questioned him about the car ident, and he imed that a friend had been driving for him that day.  s?novel


    But Xenia wasn''t convinced. The Liddell family had always insisted Sean to be


    their driver. Since when did someone else take the wheel?


    Still, she hadn''t pressed the issue. As long as Sean could help her, that was enough for now.


    Her hatred burned. Once the Liddell


    family went bankrupt and she


    gained power and influence, she would make sure every single one of them paid the price. Xenia hadjust drifted off to sleep when she was suddenly yanked out of bed.


    ke stood over her. "Why are you sleeping? It''s time to go see Noelle."


    The sooner he settled this, the sooner he could move on. Xenia had no chance to


    resist as ke dragged her away.


    Meanwhile, Noelle received a message from ke: "I''m bringing Xenia to apologize to you. Let''s talk."


    If this were before, she wouldn''t have even entertained the idea of meeting with


    anyone from the Liddell family. But things were different now.


    She headed for the underground parking lot. It seemed ke was being careful, avoiding the reporters waiting outside the hospital. When she stepped out of the lift, she saw ke pulling Xenia out of the car by her hair.  s?novel


    Xenia was covered in bruises, her face swollen with p marks.


    Noelle chuckled. "Xenia, you finally understand your ce now, right? You''re just


    a driver''s daughter. What makes you think you canpare to me?"


    The more desperate Xenia became, the more the masterminds would reveal themselves. Xenia''s eyes burned with hatred at this. She red at Noelle, wishing she could kill her.
