No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 432

Xenia had played everyone like a fiddle.

Noelle looked at Blake. "Then you'd better tell the police who showed you the recorded video. You know, the one that provoked you into attacking me. Don't let the real instigator go unpunished."

Blake chuckled bitterly. "I know."

Xenia paled with fear. "Blake, I never showed you any recorded video! The police already checked my phone. There's nothing on it."

So what if Blake knew the truth now? He couldn't do anything to her without evidence. It was his fault for hating Noelle in the first place.

Blake's gaze bore into her. "If I turn myself in, you won't get away either."

"No! You can't turn yourself in, Blake!" Donovan stepped in. "What will happen to my plan if you do? Lucas is already ruined. I can't let you be destroyed, too."

Blake shook his head. "You can't stop me, Donovan."

"I have to." Donovan signaled his men, who surrounded Blake. Then, he turned to Noelle. "Since you just admitted that I was the one who saved you, that means you owe me your life."

Noelle mocked, "And?"

Donovan sighed. "I only have one request. Let Blake off the hook this time. Tell everyone the live stream was just a scripted rehearsal."

Noelle felt like a heavy weight had been placed on her chest, trapping her.

Before she could speak, Cedric stepped forward and held her hand protectively. His voice was sharp and cold.

"As far as I know, Noelle has done so much for the Liddell family over the years. She even programmed Liddell Corporation's firewall free of charge. You owe her far more than she owes you."

Donovan remained unmoved. "That's a separate matter. We all know what would've happened to Noelle when she was caught by those thugs if I hadn't arrived in time."

He turned to Noelle. "You understand that more than anyone."
