Noelle''s voice wasced with sarcasm.


    Xenia gritted her teeth in hatred. One day, when she had taken everything from the Liddell family, she would make Noelle suffer a fate worse than death. She swore it.


    ke smacked Xenia on the head. "What are you staring at? Apologize!"


    Enduring the pain, Xenia forced herself to speak. "Noelle, it was all my fault. It was my reckless words that made ke resent you."


    Noelle almostughed at this.


    ke turned to Noelle. "You heard her. I was deceived by her, which led to a misunderstanding. I only made things difficult for you because of that."


    "I see." Noelle responded indifferently, "Are you done? If so, I''m leaving."


    She turned to leave when ke''s voice rang out behind her. "Noelle, I told you it was all a misunderstanding. Can''t you just reconcile with me?"


    Reconcile? Noelle turned back to him. "You think a few half-hearted apologies are enough for me to let everything go? Then what about all the suffering I went through?"


    Did he really think a show of remorse would make her forgive him? Not a chance.


    ke''s face fell. "Noelle, I''ll make Xenia go through whatever you went through. Will that satisfy you?"


    Make Xenia suffer the same way? Noelle nced at Xenia. "That''s nowhere near enough."


    She saw the colors drained from Xenia''s face. Xenia was already in excruciating pain. Was Noelle really nning to have her beaten to death?


    ke stepped forward, about to say more, but Tilly blocked his way. "Mr. Liddell, please stop right there."


    "You''re just an employee. How dare you stand in my way?" ke growled.


    Tilly shook her head. "Mr. Liddell, your manager begged us to handle your scandal. But unfortunately, we''ve already taken on Ms. Liddell''s request."


    ke was furious. Was she looking down on him?


    Meanwhile, Noelle stepped into the lift. As the doors closed, she looked at the battered Xenia mockingly. She wondered how long Xenia could endure this.


    In the past few days, Xenia hadn''t met with Sean again.


    Back in her hospital room, Tilly spoke up. "Ms. Liddell, they will definitely try to make you relent and drop the charges."


    "I know."


    Noelle knew the Liddell family well and understood what ke was trying to do. She wouldn''t agree, but she wouldn''t outright refuse either. She didn''t n to make things easy for Xenia.


    After Tilly left, Noelle opened herptop. Her fingers danced across the keyboard, quickly hacking into Xenia''s phone.


    After what had just happened, Xenia


    would probably reach out to her father soon. Noelle searched through Xenia''s phone and, sure


    enough, found a conversation. But it only contained two short messages.


    Sean had told Xenia to act pitifully and gain Donovan''s sympathy so they could


    drain the Liddell family dry. So that was their n.


    Noelle suddenly recalled her past life. Back then, she had found proof of Xenia forging medical records and leaking Donovan''spany secrets, but none of her brothers believed her.


    In the end, Noelle was kicked out of


    the family locked in a psychiatri hospital, and died a miserable death. She had no idea whether Xenia had seeded in ruining the Liddell


    family in the end.


    Thinking about it now, Xenia couldn''t have done it all alone. Someone must have


    been helping her from the shadows.
