Chapter 245 Noelle stood still, letting out a cold laugh.

Xenia staggered back, clearly startled. She hadn't expected Frank to be here! What should she do now? Frank had just overheard her words! Xenia nervously swallowed and stammered, "Frank, I was only concerned about Noelle. She's made so many enemies at school with what she did, and I was worried her there might be difficult. I didn't mean anything by it." However, Frank didn't buy it. He had clearly heard the mocking tone in her voice earlier.

His eyes narrowed-he was suspicious of Xenia's double-dealing. Was this why Noelle's relationship with the family had soured over time? Frank turned to Noelle. "Noelle, don't hesitate to reach out toif you ever run into any trouble. I've decided to move the company to Yasnia, so I'll always be close by." Noelle's irritation grew. "I have just one request: stay away from me!" She stormed down the stairs. Why couldn't the Liddell family ever just leave her be? It was so annoying! She didn't need Frank interfering in her life! After Noelle left, Frank cast a meaningful look at Xenia. "Why didn't you fill us in on everything about Noelle?" "I... I planned to, but Noelle insisted I mind my own business. I was going to cover today to check things out before deciding whether to inform you." Guilt rose in Xenia as she kept her eyes averted.

Frank's disappointment was palpable as he looked at her. "Xenia, have you ever lied to us before?" "No, Frank, I've never lied to you, I swear!" Xenia's eyes reddened with frustration.

If this had happened in the past, Frank might have softened and let it go. But now, he felt nothing. He began to suspect that Xenia wasn't as innocent as she appeared. Perhaps all these years, he had been deceived by her.

A seed of doubt had taken root in him.

Frank's tone was icy. "I hope you remember what you just said. Noelle is my real sister the Liddell family's real daughter.

"You can accept what our family offers you. But if we don't give it to you, don't ever think you can take it." Xenia was taken aback by his words. What about all the years she had spent trying to win the Liddell family's favor? Was that worth nothing? However, she quickly composed herself, lowering her head and speaking softly. "Frank, I've always known I'm not blood-related. How could I ever compete with Noelle?" "It better stay that way!" Frank gave her a warning look before turning to leave.

Xenia's expression turned cold and venomous as soon as he was gone. She had always known she wasn't the biological child. If she wanted a better life, she'd have to fight for it! She wouldn't let Noelle return to the Liddell family and take everything from her.

Noelle returned to class for back-to-back lessons. Many students couldn't help but sneak glances at her as soon as she walked in. Jessica couldn't resist gloating. "Noelle, you're back so soon. Did the school punish you?" With all the public outcry over her actions, surely the school had to punish her.

Noelle replied with a half-smile. "I think you'll be disappointed."

Jessica had a bad feeling upon seeing her expression "Quit them charades, Noelle. There's no way you won't be punished!" Just then, Morgan walked into the classroom.

Jessica raised her voice. "Mr. Farrell, has the punishment for caudelle bean decided? She caused such a huge stir; it's only fair she be punished!" "Yeah, our phones were all locked. It was so inconvenient!"
