No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1305

Xenia lowered her head and murmured, "I-I just wanted to visit him, that's all."

Blake scoffed. "Drop the act. Everything you do has a purpose. If you really wanted to visit Sean, you would've brought it up long ago. Why now?"

Xenia grew flustered as she hurriedly explained, "T-That's because I was locked up in that mental hospital. I didn't have any freedom at all."

After saying that, she immediately clapped her hands over her mouth. Oh no, she'd let it slip.

Settling on the couch, there was a cold smile on Blake's lips as he said, "You showed up here wearing a patient's gown. It wasn't that hard to guess either."

Xenia hurriedly dropped to her knees. "I swear I'm thinking for the sake of the Liddells, Blake. I came to join this family, not to tear it apart."

"Spare me the fake sincerity. As an outsider, who do you think you are to join our family? Are you even worthy of that?" Blake snapped, clearly not interested in her pathetic excuses.

Xenia looked at him in disbelief. "But that's not what you used to say…"

"Even if what you said about my past life is true, it's my shame, and I'm not about to repeat the same mistake.

"You still haven't answered my question. Why do you want to see your dead father? There must've been a reason for it. What were you trying to find out?"

"I-I just wanted to see him; that's all," Xenia stammered.

Standing up, Blake casually exercised his wrist and said, "My patience is running really thin."

Xenia paled at the sight. "W-What are you doing?"

"Since you won't talk, I guess I'll have to try something else. Let's see how long you can keep that mouth shut." He grabbed her by the hair and dragged her all the way to the basement.

Xenia's screams and pleas echoed through the hallway as Barnaby stood at the door, blocking anyone from getting close.

"I'll talk! I'll talk, okay!" she cried.

Blake stopped and stared at her bruised, swollen face. "Then talk. I don't have all day."

Xenia gave him a terrified look and said, "I want to know who saved me and locked me in that mental hospital."
