No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 267

After Noelle left, Xenia recalled how she had been humiliated. Tears of frustration escaped her. That bitch! Xenia regretted not pushing her to her death! Now she was being blackmailed by Noelle.

Xenia couldn't let Noelle win. Just then, her phone rang. Lucas was calling. "Xenia, I'm at school now. I'd like to speak to you. Where are you?"

Xenia said through sobs, "Lucas, I'm on the balcony. Just now, Noelle asked me to meet her there, and she tried to kill me. I'm terrified!"

"I'm coming over now."

Xenia hung up and made herself look even scruffier in hopes that it would inspire Lucas' pity.

Noelle sashayed down the stairs. She arrived at the ground floor only to see Lucas sprinting over, looking extremely concerned. She raised an eyebrow. Xenia was quick in calling for help.

Upon seeing Noelle, Lucas halted in his tracks. Her icy expression was strange to him. She continued walking without sparing him a glance, as though they were complete strangers.

His heart sank to the pit of his stomach. Lucas couldn't help but turn around and shout, "Noelle!"

She did not turn around, as though she hadn't heard him.

Lucas wouldn't give up. He chased her and said, "Noelle, stop right there. Just now, Xenia called me to tell me that you asked her to meet on the balcony and tried to kill her!"

Noelle looked up. "Are you questioning me?"

Lucas realized that he'd taken a harsh tone with her. However, Noelle kept ignoring him and it made him feel horrible. It was a subconscious decision.

He lowered his voice and said, "I'm just asking. Why are you doing this? She's your sister."

"Xenia doesn't deserve to be my family. She deserves to be in jail!"

Lucas was taken aback. "You'll be imprisoned for inflicting bodily harm on her as well."

"Do you have evidence to substantiate your accusations?"
