StarNovelChapter 397 Noelle eyed Blake and quickly pieced together what was happening. It seemed they were trying to force her into agreeing not to press charges.
The corners of her lips curled into a sneer. "Of course, I won't press charges." Blake smiled in satisfaction. He had expected Noelle to be smart enough to know what to say and what not to.
But she shoved him aside and continued, "Because I was never the one pressing charges in the first place. Lucas stole commercial confidentiality, and it's Maple Enterprise that's suing him." Blake's smile froze. He hadn't expected Noelle to be this uncooperative.

The fans were intimidated by the sight of crushed cans and dared not stop her.
Blake had the fans cleared out and went after Noelle. "Stop right there! Did I say you could leave?" His face darkened as he caught up to her. "Xenia apologized last night, and I've talked to Donovan. Everyone acknowledges their mistakes, and I was trying to give you a way out. What more do you want?" "Shouldn't I be asking you that? The public doesn't know Donovan was involved. If that gets exposed, what do you think will happen to you, a nominated Best Actor?" Noelle snapped.
Her words "nominated Best Actor" hit Blake right where it hurt.
His face contorted in anger. "Is that a threat? You've grown up to the point where you don't listen to our words anymore, haven't you?" Noelle didn't back down either. "I'm saying this for your good. Stay out of this mess." "I'm just trying to keep our family united and at peace. Donovan made a mistake, and I'll get him to apologize. Just nwhatever compensation you want, and I'll make it happen." Noelle sneered. "I want you to stay away from me." With that, she turned and walked away, but Blake wasn't giving up. He quickly followed. "Do you think the media will believe your petty tricks and words over mine, a celebrity's?" "You're welcto try," Noelle replied.
"If you leave, Noelle, your dear class president and roommate will have a rough time." Noelle stopped in her tracks, and annoyance flickered in her eyes. She turned to face Blake, and her voice dripped with sarcasm as she commented, "Threats are the only thing you can manage since we were young. What more are you even capable of?" "Say that again. I dare you!" Blake's expression darkened as he grabbed her wrist.
But Noelle easily shook him off. She had such huge strength that he couldn't restrain her at all.
Blake was stunned to see a different side of Noelle. She had always been the most obedient and fearful. Noelle's expression was cold. "You can't overpoweranymore." She would no longer stand by and suffer his slap.

"Did you forget I wrote the scripts for your recently aired TV series and upcoming movie? They bear your and Xenia's names. Have you perhaps forgotten?" Blake's eyes flashed with a dangerous glint. "What are you getting at? Those scripts were a group effort, and it wasn't just your work." "Keep telling yourself that, but if I were to show everyone our chat history and your aurecordings gettingto write those scripts, your Best Actor nominee persona would crumble overnight." "Don't you dare, Noelle!" Noelle's expression remained indifferent as she countered, "Try touching the people aroundand see."
With a mocking glint in her eyes, she Shem turned and left the camnoted breathed a sigh of relief that Blake cared deeply for the Best Actor Award.
Later, she went to the gym and resolved to becstronger. Though her words might've made Blake wary, she knew he was vindictive and would undoubtedly cup with new schemes. This time, however, she would never compromise.
After a few days of peace, Noelle arrived at the base only to find am production crew shooting a project. Blake sat under a sunshade wearing sunglasses. Her mood instantly soured at the sight.
She knew he wouldn't give up and would find ways to have her yield. How annoying.
