No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 399

Noelle seethed. Her expression was cold as she asked, "Are you sure you want me to shoot the TV series? Aren't you afraid I'll ruin it?"

Blake replied, "It's fine. You're my sister, after all. I can tolerate your lack of acting skills, but I won't tolerate your disobedience and constant defiance."

He placed the script on her desk. "Take a good look at your role. Xenia is the protagonist, and you're the supporting bitchy character."

"Bitchy character? You should get Xenia to play that. She's a professional."

"Jealous, are we? Admit that I'm your brother, and I'll make you the lead. Xenia can be the supporting character. That way, you can't accuse me of favoritism anymore."

Noelle stared at Blake's insidious smile and coldly replied, "Donovan will think you're ungrateful if he finds out what you're doing. Xenia has done the Liddells a favor, after all."

"Donovan cares too much about his ego. She's just the daughter of a driver, so how could she ever compare to you?"

"Don't you think your words are contradictory?" Noelle asked and recalled how Blake used to treat Xenia quite well.

"You've always believed I treat Xeiua better than you, haven't you? But there's a reason for that—she saved my life."

Xenia had saved Blake's life? Noelle didn't recall having any memory of that.

When Blake was in school, he often got into trouble and brawls. Plus, he was frequently surrounded by street punks.

Once, he was ambushed and hacked. He fled all the way to an alley and bled heavily.

When Noelle ran out to get help, she came across Xenia, who was passing by after school.

After she explained the situation, the gang chasing Blake caught up and recognized her.

Xenia pointed them in Blake's direction, so to save him, Noelle ran in the opposite direction to lure the gang away.

She was caught and nearly killed. She was only saved when the patrolling police officers intervened.

When Blake woke up, his attitude toward her soured, and he grew closer to Xenia. Could that be the reason for their misunderstanding?

Blake gritted his teeth, and his voice filled with hatred. "It seems you've forgotten, Noelle. But I remember it all too well."

He was on the verge of death back then, and Noelle abandoned him just to run away. According to Xenia, Noelle had fled in fear.
