No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 286

"No need. The evidence is sufficient anyway. Could you take my books back for me?"

Grace nodded. "Alright, I'll head back then."

Noelle made her way to the office alone. As she entered, both Lionel and Morgan were waiting.

Lionel's tone was less than welcoming. "Noelle, I understand you've filed a complaint against Samuel. is this because of a lover's dispute that he sneaked into your dorm?"

"Even if we had a dispute, the fact remains that Samuel bribed the dorm supervisor and sneaked into the dorm to attempt a sexual assault. Plus, it isn't the first time this has happened! The school should investigate instead of twisting this crime into some trivial lovers' spat!"

Lionel raised his voice. "Watch your tone, Noelle! We're just asking questions here!"

But Noelle stood her ground. She had no intention to compromise now that she was armed with evidence.

Lucas burst into the room. "You're the one who should watch your tone! Noelle did nothing wrong, so why are you twisting facts and misleading her?"

Noelle turned and frowned to see him. Why was he here?

Then, she commanded in an icy voice, "Please leave the office."

Lionel pointed Lucas toward the door. "Unrelated individuals are not permitted in the office. Not everyone is allowed here."

Lucas slammed his hand on the table. "I'm her brother and guardian. Why shouldn't I be here?"

Lionel faltered. "Noelle is an orphan, isn't she?"

Morgan interjected, "Mr. Kramer, I did tell you she isn't an orphan."

Lionel hadn't been present during the previous scandal on the school forum, but both he and Bruce had suffered in the face of the truth.

"Who said she's an orphan? Our parents may have passed on early, but she has her brother!"
