Chapter 383 Noelle watched Xenia while smirking internally. Was she eyeing Magnus as her next target? Noelle kept her distance. "I don't know you well." The expression on Xenia's face froze. She looked devastated. "Noelle, we grew up together in the Liddell family. Even though I was adopted, I treated you as a sister despite your dislike for me." Noelle grimaced. She was starting up again. How annoying. It was always this tactic.

After putting on her pitiful act, she turned to Magnus and said, "Mr. Greene, my apologies for subjecting you to that. Noelle has always thought I'd take her brothers away from her, but that's not what I'm trying to do at all." He raised an eyebrow and remarked, "Since Noelle doesn't like you, you should take the hint and not appear before her." Noelle had made it clear she didn't like Xenia. So, he wouldn't like her as well.

She stiffened, not expecting Magnus to say so. Didn't men adore girls who seemed to be timid? Why weren't her methods working on Magnus? Noelle looked at her with a smirk. "Did you think everyone would be as dumb as the idiots in the Liddell family for you to run circles around them?" The smile on her face nearly fell. However, she had to keep up her reputation before Magnus.

She simpered, "Noelle, Frank is in the ICU. Lucas has been taken away and detained for questioning. Their team is on the brink of getting dissolved, and they even have to pay up for the breach of contract. Aren't you concerned about your family members at all?" She wanted to wreck Noelle's reputation before Magnus. There was no way she would allow Noelle to do better than her.

Chuckling, she replied, "I've broken ties with the Liddell family a long tago." "Noelle, how long are you going to hold his grudge for? Frank slit his wrists for you. Doesn't your conscience hurt?" Xenia made a performance of a heartbroken sister, soft and naive. It managed to inspire pity in the men present. A man in an esports shirt approached Xenia and said, "You're too kind. As an adopted child, you've given up enough in the Liddell family." Xenia glanced at the ogre-like man before her. Who was this ugly man? However, she could benefit off him if he was willing to speak for her.

Xenia wiped at her tears and turned to Noelle sadly. "I know you hate me, but Frank does care about you. He even wanted to give the company to you as an apology gift? I'm begging you, go see him at the hospital." The suitor beside her was horribly saddened. He said, "Noelle, you've got no heart. It's your own brother but you wouldn't even take a look at him. It was all Xenia taking care of him." "It's only natural that I take care of Frank, but I really hope that Noelle can go see him." Dabbing at her tears, she turned to Magnus. "Mr. Greene, you're friends with Noelle. Can't you talk ssense into her?" Would this help Magnus to see the real side of Noelle? Xenia was comparatively kind and obedient.

Magnus glanced at Noelle. She was emotionless. He had heard that she severed ties with the Liddells and that all her brothers pampered an adopted girl over her, giving her a hard time.

During the finals, he heard how Noelle was oppressed and guilt-tripped by Donovan.

Magnus chuckled and said, "I do need to talk ssense into her." Xenia smiled through her tears. "Magnus, you're such a kind man. Thank you for helping me." She knew that no one could resist her acting.

"I want to persuade Noelle to leave the Liddells forevermore. You're all bloodsucking leeches." As he spoke, he shifted aside in disdain, looking at her with hatred.

Xenia paused. Magnus hadn't fallen for her tricks. He was speaking for Noelle? This wasn't right.

Xenia wanted to make her case. "Mr.

Greene, I don't know what Noelle told om you, but the Liddell family's door will always remain open for her. She'll always be a part of our family. That won't change." Her suitor echoed, "Xenia's right. Noelle is an ungrateful bitch."

Magnus pushed her and said, "Be respectful. You know nothing. Yet, you're accusing her of things she hasn't done. I'll beat you up, yeah?" Xenia stuck a hand out and said, "Mr. Greene, don't fight for me." "Who the hell is fighting for you? There must be something wrong with your head.

I heard how you guys tried to morally coerce Noelle backstage at the finals. Stop pretending to be the good guy." After Magnus was done, Xenia's pleasant expression was gone.
