NovelEnglishChapter 200 "I'm venting my anger on you, just as you requested," Noelle said before landing another slap on Xenia.
She then pulled Xenia's hair forcefully. "I warned you not to touch my things again, but it seems you've forgotten!" Noelle knew very well that Xenia had opened the letter to spite her, and she wasn't about to let it slide this time. Xenia's face was so swollen she looked almost unrecognizable. She cried out, "Frank, help me!" Frank's hands clenched into fists as he watched the scene unfold. "Xenia, you said Noelle could do whatever it took to calm her down, so you need to keep your word." Xenia was left dumbfounded. She had only said that out of politeness-she hadn't meant a single word of it! Gordon stepped in to pull Noelle away. "Ms. Liddell, why are you hitting Ms. Quigley? She only opened the acceptance letter. Nothing was taken. Why all the fuss?" Gordon's forceful tug nearly knocked Noelle over.

"Gordon, how dare you speak to Noelle like that? She's the eldest daughter of the Liddell family, your mistress!" Frank shot Gordon a glare. "It seems I've been too kind to you over the years, letting you forget your place!" Xenia quickly interjected, "Frank, it's all my fault. Gordon was just standing up for me." "Not only did he lie for you, but he even laid hands on Noelle. There's no place for someone like him in the Liddell family. Gordon, pack your things and leave." Frank's decision left both Xenia and Gordon stunned.
Panicked, Gordon pleaded, "Mr. Liddell, I've worked for the Liddell family for decades. Please, think of my years of service and forgive me." "The Liddell family has treated you generously Gordon. Yet, you've forgotten your place. I don't think it's appropriate for you to stay here," Frank said coldly, feeling deeply disappointed by how Gordon had treated Noelle.
Gordon collapsed to the ground in disbelief. Never had he imagined being fired by his employer at his age. He had thought that, given the strong bond he shared with the family, he would serve them for the rest of his life. "Quick, Gordon, apologize to Noelle. She's kind-hearted. Surely, she'll forgive you," Xenia urged, not wanting to lose her ally.
Reluctantly, Gordon turned to Noelle and said, "Please forgive my foolishness and rudeness. Since your parents passed away, I've cared for you for so many years. Will you forgive me, for old times' sake?" Gordon needed this job desperately. His family depended on the income, and he couldn't afford to lose such a respectable position.
Noelle scoffed. "Oh, right, thanks for remindingXenia's birthday is close to mine, so you always suggested celebrate it with hers. Every tshe made a mistake, you'd find a way to pin it on me. And don't even getstarted on the stationery for my exams! You've really cared forall these years-by turning my life into hell!" Gordon's face turned pale. "That's not true, my lady!"

Noelle snapped, walking over to Frank and picking up the acceptance letter. Frank swallowed hard before saying, "Noelle, I'm sorry. I didn't realize how much you've been through."
"Sparethe righteous act. If you had listened toeven once, wen wouldn't be in this mess, would we?" Noelle responded sharply, leaving Frank speechless. Frank couldn't help but agree he had brought this all upon himself.
Noelle pulled a document from her bag and handed it to Frank: "Sign this, I'm transferring my household registration." She wanted her own separate household record, severing any remaining ties to the Liddell family. This was her way of truly gaining freedom.
Frank stared at the document, his heart heavy. "Noelle..."
