Noelle gripped Wyatt's jaw and forced the red wine down his throat. Her voice was cold. "If your mouth is so filthy, let me help you clean it. No need to thank me."
Wyatt choked, but he couldn't break free from Noelle's grip. When had she gotten so strong?
Xenia was panicking on the side. "Noelle, what are you doing? Let him go!"
Noelle only let go after finishing the entire bottle of wine.
Mia watched from the side with a small smile. She hadn't expected Noelle to be so blunt.
Wyatt was furious. "Donovan, are you just going to stand there and let Noelle do this to me?"
Donovan snapped, "Wyatt, I actually think Noelle did the right thing. You really needed to wash your mouth out."
Did Wyatt really think he could talk to Mia like that? Did he really think they could afford to offend the Cantrell family? What an absolute idiot.
Xenia quickly realized the severity of the situation. Right now, the Liddell family couldn't afford to offend Mia, let alone the entire Cantrell family. She immediately tried to smooth things over.
"Donovan, we know our mistake. Wyatt was just being protective. He didn't mean to say something so hurtful. After all, he's in a wheelchair himself. How could he say something so cruel?"
Donovan glanced at Wyatt's legs, then ordered, "Apologize to Ms. Cantrell now."
Xenia was the first to speak. "Ms. Cantrell, I apologize for almost making you fall earlier. My brother tends to speak without thinking, but I'm sure you won't hold it against him, right?"
After all, Wyatt was also disabled. A disabled person should sympathize with another disabled person, right?
Mia chuckled. "So, you stole my dress, stained it, and now you think an apology is enough?"
