No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric)

Blake piped up, "That's right, I remember very clearly, too. This script went through many revisions and discussions."

With Blake speaking up for Noelle, Xenia's speech now seemed even more insincere. People around them started murmuring.noveldrama

"The worst thing anyone in the industry could possibly do is put someone else's name on a script we worked so hard on."

"Exactly! Why should our hard work be shared with others? How shameless."

Xenia's gaze darkened when she overheard the discussion. She could only look pitifully toward Donovan for help.

Donovan turned to Blake. "I saw Xenia participating in the scriptwriting. You can't just dismiss her."

"Donovan, I know you want Xenia to get some credit, but this script was written entirely by Noelle. It's wrong to force her name in." Blake didn't hold back in exposing Donovan.

Donovan felt awkward. After all, Blake was influential in the entertainment industry, so his words were far more convincing.

Blake stepped closer to Donovan. "Donovan, Xenia needs to practice more. She'll have plenty of chances in the future. But this script was written solely by Noelle, so let's celebrate her achievement first."

Although Donovan's expression darkened, he couldn't argue further. He walked off the stage with a stern face, snorting disdainfully as he passed by Noelle.

Noelle smirked as Donovan walked over to Xenia, seemingly trying to comfort her. But this time, she wouldn't let Xenia take what belonged to her.

Now, alone on stage, Blake addressed the audience. "Everyone knows I recently had two hit dramas and also had a dispute with my sister over an audition, which led to some rumors online. So today, I brought her here to clear up the misunderstanding."

Noelle's expression softened as she listened to Blake. In addition to reclaiming control over the entertainment company, Blake wanted to clarify the controversy surrounding the livestream incident.

She didn't object. After all, her partnership with Blake was only temporary. Her priority right now was investigating why Xenia's father was still alive and uncovering the truth about the car accident all those years ago.

She had to make it impossible for Xenia to stay with the Liddell family and force

the people backing her to intervene. Only then could she get closer to finding Xenia's father.

Blake finished his speech and

cautiously glanced at Noelle. Seeing that she didn't object, he finally

relaxed. As the two stepped off the

stage, many people came over to greet them.

Xenia was overcome with jealousy when she saw Noelle being praised. She turned to Donovan with a pitiful expression.

"Donovan, Blake deliberately brought Noelle here today. He doesn't support you giving me control of Moonbright Entertainment and might even hold a grudge against you."

Donovan noticed it, too. He walked over stiffly and said to Blake and Noelle, "You two, come with me. I need to talk to you."

Blake stood his ground. "Donovan, let's talk after the banquet. You should be celebrating with Noelle now. But why do you look so upset?"

Noelle hadn't expected Blake to switch sides and put Donovan in his place.

Xenia chimed in with a sickly sweet tone. "Donovan didn't mean anything bad, Blake. He's been cleaning up the mess you and Noelle caused for a while now. How can you treat him like this?"

Noelle scoffed. "What did we do to him? Blake just clarified that I was the script's original author and didn't agree to add your name to it. That's all."

Xenia's face twitched, but she shamelessly insisted, "But I still put in effort, too."

Donovan looked at Noelle and said firmly, "Whether you agree or not, Xenia's name has already been added to the script."

Noelle had no say in this family.
