Noelle smirked. So even Donovan had his limits. ke and Frank stayed firmly beside her, making it clear where their loyaltiesy.


    Donovan pointed at them furiously. "You ungrateful traitors! Would yourpany have even gotten off the ground if it weren''t for me? And now you''re handling all your shares to Noelle! Have you lost your mind?"


    Frankughed bitterly. "Donovan, the only one who has lost their mind is you. Noelle is our sister, not an enemy."


    He couldn''t understand why Donovan was going this far.


    Xenia was fuming. Why did ke and Frank side with Noelle? And they were even transferring their shares to her!


    Wouldn''t Xenia''s ns go up in smoke if Noelle became thepany''s biggest shareholder?


    She couldn''t ept this and stepped forward. "Frank, you know better than anyone how much effort Donovan has put into the Liddell family. He gave you shares out of love, and now you''re betraying him!"


    "Save your moral high ground guilt-tripping." Noelle shot Xenia a cold look. "He took all of the Liddell family''s money and assets when he started hispany. That was an investment from all of us. It''s only natural that we get our share of the profits."


    Xenia''s eyes sharpened at Donovan. "Donovan, I would never betray you if I had your shares."


    Donovan was angry beyond words. He had never imagined this day woulde. He red at Frank and ke. "Are you really choosing to side with Noelle against me?"


    Frank spoke up. "Donovan, I''m not against you. But handing thepany to Xenia? Noelle is the better choice. At least her scripts made thepany a lot of money."


    "Haha! Have you all forgotten that Noelle sent Lucas and ke to prison? She''s heartless toward the family, and you''re just letting it slide?" Donovan was livid.


    He never thought his own brothers would turn on him. Everything he had done was for the good of the family!


    ke snorted. "Have you lost your mind, Donovan? I was wrong when it came to what happened with Noelle. I did want to punish her and make sure she never forgot the lesson.


    "I was blinded by Xenia. And I admit I made a mistake. That was on me, on Xenia for manipting me. What does Noelle have to do with it?"


    ke was firm. "And Xenia was responsible for what happened to Lucas, too. She stole Noelle''s work and then dragged Lucas into it. Sure, he wasn''t innocent, but Xenia was the real mastermind.


    "Noelle is the victim for having her work stolen!"


    Donovan gritted his teeth. "It was all a trap set by Noelle."


    "Oh? Did Noelle force Xenia to steal her work? Did she make you betray her?


    "No, right? We were the ones at fault from the start!" ke grabbed Donovan by the cor and pointed straight at Xenia. "She''s the real culprit. Both incidents were because of her."


    Xenia immediately put on a pitiful expression. "ke, I only did all that so Frank''spany would win the bid. As for you attacking Noelle, that had nothing to do with me. You''ve always been violent."


    ke''s anger boiled over.


    Donovan shoved him away. "I know Xenia better than any of you. She may not be smart, but she''s not an evil girl."


    Noelle almost burst outughing. Not smart, but not an evil girl? What a joke. She didn''t even bother arguing.


    "I don''t care what you do with Xenia, but you have no say in thepany. She''s out."


    ke calmed down and added, "Donovan, I built thispany. Xenia has no right to take over it."


    "But I already signed her as an


    actress under thepany," Donovan countered. "All future scripts will be written for her. And she''s been cast as a supporting role in the uing movie."
