StarNovelChapter 537 Noelle observed Xenia's guilty expression. "Givethe phone." "No, you can't call the police." Xenia turned to Donovan and pleaded, "Donovan, I don't understand how these things work. The supplier said it was normal to make deals, but I had no idea they'd send expired products!" Donovan struck Xenia across the face. "You've disappointed me. Making deals? Did the Liddell family ever treat you unfairly?" He was furious. How was he supposed to hold his ground in front of Noelle now? Tears streamed down Xenia's face as she sobbed, "Donovan, I was blinded by greed and deceived by the supplier. I'm sorry!" "Oh? Did you suddenly realize it was a mistake now that you've been caught? Did you ever stop to think about the consequences when you took the bribe?" Donovan felt a headache coming on. "Xenia, you've been nothing but trouble lately." Xenia begged, "Donovan, please, just helpthis one time." She never expected the supplier to send fully expired pads and screw her over completely. And she certainly hadn't anticipated Noelle to act quickly. Xenia didn't even have tto destroy the evidence.

After all, Noelle had the evidence. Noelle looked at Xenia coldly. "Givethe phone." Xenia gritted her teeth. "Noelle, we grew up together. Just let this go, please. My reputation will be ruined if this gets out! "I'll hand over the foundation's funds, and I won't touch them again. Isn't that enough?" "No." Noelle snatched her phone back. She had to reclaim the foundation's money, but she wasn't done with Xenia yet.
Xenia turned to Donovan again. "Donovan, I guess I was never part of your family, right? One mistake, and I'm unforgivable?" Donovan stiffened. "Xenia, what are you trying to say?" Xenia ran out of the office, sobbing. Donovan yanked at his tie in frustration. Did she really just say that to him? Noelle smirked. "Well, since that's the case, I'll proceed with the police report." Donovan sighed. "Noelle, do you really have to go this far?" "Everyone will think the Liddell family embezzled charity funds and buys expired sanitary products if I don't." à that, Noelle turned and left.
She figured Xenia would go looking for reinforcements, especially since Donovan had refused to help her. Noelle immediately called Tilly.
"Keep a close watch on Xenia and the supplier. Whoever is backing her will likely make a move. This won't Something they can just cover up." sŵ Tilly hummed. "You need to be careful, Ms. Liddell. What if they try to pin this on you?"

She returned to school to pack her things and informed Grace, "I won't be staying in the dorm for the next couple of days. I'm heading back home." Grace was shocked. "Why would you do that to yourself?"
Noelle noticed Mia was there, too. After a brief hesitation, she recounted what had happened at the club earlier that day.
