Donovan's face turned ashen in an instant. He never expected Noelle to actually go through with it.
Noelle smirked coldly. "The evidence is undeniable, and we have so many witnesses. I believe Liddell Corporation won't have any way to justify this, right?"
The middle-aged official walked over. "Everyone else, please disperse. We'll handle this matter properly and issue a formal notice."
He wanted to send the crowd away to avoid escalating the situation and causing a negative impact.
Once the area was cleared, the official turned to Donovan. "Mr. Liddell, I believe the truth of the matter is clear enough without me needing to spell it out. As per the rules, your company's bidding qualifications will be revoked."
Even though Liddell Corporation was influential, rules could not be arbitrarily broken.
When Donovan heard the outcome, he glared at Noelle. "Are you satisfied now?"
Noelle lazily raised an eyebrow. "I'm okay. Thanks for demonstrating it yourself."
Fuming, Donovan pointed a trembling finger at her. "You..."
Before he could finish, Noelle swatted his hand away. "This is called karma!"
The team leader of Maple Enterprise stepped forward to block Donovan. "Mr. Liddell, Noelle didn't force you to steal her ideas, nor did she make you use them! Everything that happened was your doing. How can you blame her for this?"
At first, he thought Noelle was being too harsh when she said she was cutting ties with her family. However, his perspective had now completely changed. It was a good thing to sever ties with such a family.
Donovan was immediately speechless. "This is a family matter!"
"Noelle has already severed ties with you. You're no longer family."
"Noelle will always carry the blood of the Liddell family. That will never change, not even in death!" Donovan snapped.
Noelle glanced at the leader. "I'm fine. Let's go back and get a lawyer to handle this."
The leader nodded. "Got it. The idea was yours to begin with. You have the final say!"
He was equally enraged by the Liddell family's behavior. He couldn't understand how anyone could be so blatantly biased. After all, Noelle was the victim.
"Now that it's come to this, I have no choice but to tell the truth," Xenia suddenly interrupted.
