Chapter 308 Xenia decided to take a gamble. After all, things couldn't get much worse than they already were. She bet that Noelle wouldn't be able to produce the surveillance footage.

Donovan scoffed. "Noelle, you're planning to show the bar's surveillance footage, right? Well, I don't care to see it!" "I want to see it," Lucas interjected, turning to Noelle.

He was curious about the footage Frank had mentioned. Was it true that Xenia had sprayed something on Noelle at the bar? Even without the footage, Lucas had already made up his mind after seeing Xenia lie earlier. He should have trusted Frank from the start.

Donovan shot Lucas a glare. "You're not allowed to see it. What's there to see?" Seeing Donovan defending her, Xenia secretly smiled. She had won her bet. Even if Noelle really had a backup of the footage, Donovan wouldn't side with her.

Xenia weakly spoke up, "Donovan, everything I did that night at the bar was because Samantha forcedto do so. I didn't mean to do it." Donovan gently replied, "I believe you." He then turned to Noelle with a cold smirk. "Now that you've got no leverage, I'd like to see what you'll do next." Xenia felt a small thrill. Noelle wouldn't be able to do anything to her now.

"Who says I don't?" Noelle said. She took out her phone and played a video.

The footage showed Xenia sitting at a computer, using her phone to take photos of confidential documents. It even captured Lucas discovering Xenia and their subsequent conversation.

When Noelle heard Lucas urging Xenia to apologize, she hesitated for a moment. Yet, in the end, Lucas was still swayed by Xenia.

It was only then that she understood that they wanted her to fail so she would be forced to return to the Liddell family, where they could continue to exploit her. Once the video finished, the room fell silent.

Noelle stared at Xenia with a smile. "Does this scene look familiar?" Xenia was so terrified that she collapsed to the floor, trembling uncontrollably. Her mind went blank.

She never imagined the evidence Noelle had would be the footage she had secretly taken earlier. Her lies were instantly exposed.

Xenia frantically looked at Donovan. "Donovan, I..." Donovan yanked his hand away from Xenia and pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. He turned to Noelle. "I didn't expect you to have a backup plan!" Noelle could have revealed this evidence from the beginning, but she had held back, waiting for the perfect moment to strike a crushing blow.

Donovan was seething with frustration. He knew that once the video cto light, Liddell Corporation would have lost its bid for good. Noelle had won. The official spoke up. "Mr. Liddell, do you have anything else to say?" Donovan's face was taut. "I have nothing to say!" With the mounting evidence, their earlier defense now seemed like a joke. The more they said, the worse it got.

Donovan said, "Noelle, so you'd already planned everything, laying traps to destroy your own family?" Noelle replied with a calm, faint smile. "You were the one who threatenedfirst." She hadn't intended to go this far. It was the Liddells who had pushed her to this point.

She added coldly, "Besides, you're not my family. You don't deserve to be." Donovan's anger exploded. He raised his hand to strike Noelle.

However, Noelle didn't even flinch.

She grabbed his wrist mid-air shifted her stance and executed a perfect over-the-shoulder throw.
