StarNovelDonovan's expression sank. "Noelle, we can't afford to offend Mrs. Parham."
"I know, but a guest not feeling well is also just as important. | already had Xenia go get the desserts herself,"
Noelle replied.
Xenia spoke up. "Noelle, didn't you say that | shouldn't interfere with this event? Nobody's listening to what |
have to say anyway."
She continued, deliberately adding fuel to the fire. "Donovan, I'm just thinking of our family's priorities, but
Noelle is busy dealing with srandom woman instead. | just don't want us to forget about what's important
right now."
Donovan frowned and said, "Noelle, you're in the wrong this time. And Xenia's right, like | said, is that we can't
afford to offend Mrs. Parham. Hurry and bring her the desserts."
"lI understand," Noelle replied. She did not want the situation to escalate further, as her parents had established
and left behind the Hopeful Hearts Foundation.
She then turned around and left.
Xenia's eyes gleamed with joy and excitement as she waited to see how Noelle would handle the situation.
Donovan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who's in the lounge?"
"That's not important, Donovan. It's probably nothing serious anyway. Let's go, Mrs. Parham is waiting for us,"
Xenia replied.
Xenia dragged Donovan away. She assumed that the woman resting in the lounge would probably just be a
nobody who could not possibly compare to Brittany.

could tell that the Liddell family was biased against Noelle.
She never would have thought that Noelle was actually the girl from all those years back.
She could not help but call Cedric right away. The call was picked up quickly, and she said, "Cedric, | want to ask
you about something. Do you know who Noelle is?"
Cedric fell silent after hearing the question. After stime, he replied slowly. "She's the girl that I like."
Emma almost lost her composure. "Stop lying to me, Cedric. You know the truth, don't you?"
His voice sank a little in response. "That's not important."
"What do you mean that's not important? Of all the people you could have fallen in love with, why her? The two
of you can never be together unless she's willing to turn her back on her own parents!"
Emma could tell that Noelle was not a heartless person. She figured that Cedric must have never told her about
the truth.
Her voice began to tremble as she continued, "Noelle's a good girl, Cedric. What you're doing will only hurt her."
"I will protect her," Cedric replied.
"You can't protect her! You don't understand how girls think at all." With that, Emma ended the call abruptly. She
covered her face with her hand in disbelief.
Her whole life had been smooth sailing. Even her stepson had grown into an outstanding man. But that one
mistake led to everything that was happening now.
When Emma recalled Noelle being
treated unfairly since she was
young, as well as when she got beaten so badly by her brother that she got hospitalized, she was so saddened
that she had trouble breathing. She could not help but laugh at the cruel joke that was fate.
Back outside, the charity sales event was about to begin. Noelle brought out a tray of desserts and placed them
within reach of the guests.
But as she arrived in front of Brittany,

Xenia whispered to Noelle. "Noelle, didn't I tell you to serve only Mrs. Parham? Why did you give everyone a
piece as well?"
After all, Brittany was on a whole different level from the other guests. Noelle's expression remained unchanged.
"| wanted everyone to have a taste."

Donovan hurried forward to stop her and then turned back to issue orders to Noelle. "What are you standing

now!"
