Chapter 582 Noelle pulled out a chair and sat down. "Wyatt, I suddenly remembered that I have something to show you....." Xenia's face fell and quickly interrupted by turning to Wyatt. "Wyatt, why aren't Donovan and Lucas here yet?" "Yes, why are they late?" Just as Wyatt finished, the door to the private room opened, and Donovan and Lucas walked in.

She got jealous of Xenia's limited-edition dress and started insulting her." Donovan looked exhausted. "What dress?" Xenia smiled. "The one I'm wearing today. Donovan, you gave it toas an engagement gift, but it seems like Noelle isn't too happy about it." Donovan finally noticed the dress Xenia was wearing, and his expression turned unpleasant. "Why are you wearing that dress?" Xenia froze. "Didn't you gift it to me?" "Who told you that? Take it off! When did I ever say it was a gift for you?" Donovan was furious. "Xenia, who told you to take the dress I ordered?" Xenia feigned innocence. "I didn't take it." Wyatt immediately spoke up, "Donovan, it's just a dress. Why are you making such a big deal out of it?" "That dress was a gift for Ms. Cantrell." Donovan directed his anger at Xenia. "Take it off! Right now!" Xenia hesitated, reluctant to part with the dress she adored.
Wyatt quickly tried to smooth things over. "Donovan, I was just thinking about what gift to get for Xenia, and then I happened to see the butler bring this dress back. It looked perfect for her, and she really liked it, so I just made the decision to let her wear it." Donovan tugged at his tie. "Wyatt, if you want to give someone a gift, don't use my things to do it." "Donovan, you're being stingy. Ms. Cantrell has probably worn every designer dress out there. Besides, heard she's a cripple. She wouldn't even be able to do this dress justice. It'd be a complete waste on her." Wyatt sounded dismissive as he confidently held Xenia's hand. "Xenia looks stunning in this dress. She'll definitely steal the show at our engagement party." Xenia glanced at Donovan, then pretended to be understanding.
"Wyatt, forget it. This dress wmeant for Donovan's girlfriend. It wouldn't be right forto wear it." In truth, she was beyond irritated. Wyatt couldn't even afford to buy her a proper designer dress and had to steal one that was meant for someone else.
Wyatt brushed her off. "Don't worry about it. Donovan isn't that petty. After all, your father did a great favor for our family. He wouldn't hold this against you." Donovan's expression turned ugly, but he couldn't refute it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXenia pondered before saying, "Donovan, I can't exactly take this dress off right now. How about I just wear it for tonight? I promise to be carefu and not get it dirty. I'll take it off once I get home, and then you can still gift it to Ms. Cantrell." Donovan's expression softened. "Fine, I'll get you another dress later as compensation." Xenia nodded, but a plan was forming in her mind.
Noelle frowned. "Donovan, don't you think it's inappropriate to give someone a dress that's already been worn?"
She wouldn't have cared if she didn't know Mia personally. But just m imagining Mia wearing a dress that Xenia had already worn made her uncomfortable.
Xenia feigned innocence. "Noelle, it's just us here tonight. How would Ms. Cantrell ever find out if we keep it down? Unless you're planning to sabotage Donovan?" Xenia walked over to Noelle with a glass of red wine. "A lot has happened lately. Let's have a drink and make peace." Noelle looked irritated. "Who the hell would want to drink with you?"
Just as she finished speaking, Xenia suddenly gasped and flinched The wine in her glass spilled all over her En pristine white dress. Her eyes watered as she whispered, "If you have a problem, take it out on me, Noelle. Why ruin this dress?"
