RankNovelChapter 543 Noelle had not expected her patience to pay off-another clue had surfaced. It seemed like her decision to return to the Liddells and force Xenia into a corner was the right one.
"Ms. Liddell, but the man in the photo isn't the sone we saw before," Tilly informed her.
Noelle opened the pictures Tilly had sent. The driver, a middle-aged man, definitely was not Sean. Nonetheless, since it was the sdealership car, Sean had skind of connection to this guy.

"Ms. Liddell, the kickback scandal has dragged in multiple foundations, including members of Ms. Merlock's organization and Hopeful Hearts Foundation. The Cantrell family is already trying to suppress the media coverage, but the damage has been done." "Got it," Noelle replied. After hanging up, she could not shake the feeling that this was not just scoincidence-someone had done this on purpose.
With this big scandal, no one would pay attention to the sanitary pad issue anymore. Everyone had their own fires to put out now, scrambling for damage control. If that were the case, no one would remember the Liddells' involvement in the scandal.
Noelle wondered if Donovan was behind this. However, the Cantrells got caught in the crossfire, too. Would he really risk angering them? Later, she freshened up and changed before heading downstairs, just in tto hear Donovan snapping, "Wyatt, have you lost your damn mind? Do you have any idea how many people you just dragged into this? Do you think the Liddells can afford to offend them all?" Wyatt sounded unfazed. "Donovan, this was the perfect way to shut everyone up. No one will dare laugh at the Liddells over that sanitary pad mess-because none of their hands are clean either." "You pulled a stunt this big without even discussing it withfirst?" Donovan looked like he was about to explode.
Xenia quickly stepped in. "Donovan, don't be mad. Wyatt only did this for me. He just returned to Yasnia, and he doesn't understand how things work here yet. It was an honest mistake." Deep down, she felt relieved. She had not been able to contact Sean, but luckily, Wyatt had taken care of the problem for her.
Donovan was the Cantrell family's live-in son-in-law-this kind of issue probably would not bother them too much, However, he was already seething, and hearing Xenia's fake-sweet excuse made him snap.
He raised his hand and slapped Xenia across the face. "This is all because of you, and you still have the nerve to speak?" Now, he regretted ever trusting her with foundation affairs. At least Noelle would never have done something as stupid as taking bribes.
Just then, Noelle finally made her way down the stairs, watching with mild amusement. She had suspected Donovan was not the one behind the scandal-after all the Cantrells had gotten caught up in it, too. sŵ Wyatt immediately stepped in front of Xenia, looking pained as he shielded her. Xenia could only bury herself in his arms and cry. She could not argue back-not when the evidence was so damning.

She silently cursed at Noelle. If she had not insisted on participating in the charity initiative, no one would have ever found out about the expired sanitary pads.
"Donovan, if you have something to say, say it-why are you getting m physical?" Wyatt demanded. "Have you forgotten that Mr. Quigley died saving our parents? The Liddells owe Noelle a life!" Donovan's jaw elenched, and that shut him right up. He had said those very words to other people before especially to Noelle. It never felt like a big deal back then, but now that Wyatt was throwing it back at him, it left a bitter taste in his mouth. Cóntent And worst of all, he could not argue against it. His frustration boiled over. He tugged at his tie, his eyes flicking to Noelle, who stood calmly on the stairs.
That sight of her only pissed him off more. He snapped, "Noelle, are you just going to stand there and watch the show? This is all your fault!"
Noelle arched a brow. "My fault? Am I the one who took kickbacks? Amd the one who bought expired sanitary pads? Or am I the one who exposed the supplier's bribery scandal?" Her words were sharp, leaving Donovan at a complete loss because she was right. None of this was Noelle's doing, and Xenia was responsible.
