Noelle just stood silently by the side, watching as Xenia's face turned red with anger. Xenia spoke with an aggrieved tone. "Blake, I'm also a part of the Liddell family." "You're not worthy!" shouted Blake before rolling up the car window, no longer intent on talking with her. Noelle walked over and glanced at Xenia. "Did you really think that your little tricks would last you a lifetime? That is unless you can keep up the act forever. Unfortunately, you've failed." Xenia's expression darkened instantly.
She deeply regretted not listening to her father and continued putting up an act in front of Blake.
But Blake's attacks were too painful for her to bear. At the time, his reputation was in shambles, and he was about to face a lawsuit from Noelle.
Xenia thought Blake was done for and no longer bothered to keep up the act in front of him. She never expected that Blake and Noelle would end up joining forces.

Meanwhile, inside the car. Noelle glanced at Xenia, left on the road, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that she'll complain to Donovan?" It was what Xenia excelled at doing, after all.
Blake remained silent for a while before replying. "Donovan's the only one still protecting her now. Everyone else already knows what kind of person she is." "Yeah, most people only realize how painful it is when they're the one that gets hurt. I get that feeling," Noelle mocked him and said nothing more.
Blake hesitated for a while and then asked, "There is still plenty of work to do at the company. How do you plan to handle them?" "You'll take care of them. I don't really have the tfor that right now," she replied.
Blake let out a sigh of relief after hearing Noelle's reply. He realized that Noelle's target was Xenia and not him.
The car soon arrived at a villa. Noelle looked at the house and remembered that in her previous life, she had only lived in Aldoria and had never had the chance to chere. As she stepped out of the can, she saw the housekeepers lined up in two neat rows.
Just then, Xenia had also arrived by taxi. She stormed out of the car angrily and, upon seeing the grand welcome, deliberately rushed ahead of Noelle to enter the house first.
"Welchome, Ms. Quigley!" the housekeepers spoke up in unison.
Xenia walked to the front with a smug smile, enjoying the attention of the housekeepers. But it did not last long, as someone grabbed her by her hair and yanked her je backward. Blake had grabbed onto her hair and forcefully dragged her to the back.
Xenia teared up from the pain as she asked, "Blake, what are you doing?" "Know your place, Xenia. Today's event is specially arranged for Noelle alone.
Who do you think you are to walk ahead of her?" Blake replied before pushing Xenia aside, causing her to collapse to the ground.
Having been humiliated in front of a crowd, Xenia noticed that the housekeepers were all giving her disdainful and mocking looks. She lost he composure and yelled, But I'm also a member of the Liddell family! Why can't I walk in first?" For a long time, she was the only princess in the family.

Blake sneered and explained, "The Liddell family treated you equally at Μ first. But you know full welfabout what you've been plotting behind our backs. You're not worthy of the kindness that we've shown you."
He recalled Xenia's immediate shift in character after she took over the a few days company from Donovan a ve ago He immediately felt that all the goodwill he had shown her for years was a shameful mistake and a taint on history. Xenia felt so guilty that she becspeechless. She regretted not keeping up the act in front of Blake for a little longer.
Blake turned to Noelle and said, "Let's do this again properly."
Noelle had been watching as the entire scene unfolded before her. She m tilted her head slightly and glanced at Xenia before taunting her. "Trying to take my place, Xenia? Not even close." With that, she turned and walked toward the villa.
The housekeepers greeted her in unison with loud and clear voices. "Welchome, Ms. Liddell!" Frank and Lucas were both waiting by the door, each of them holding a bouquet of flowers.
