No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 316

Noelle applied the ointment, and Grace helped her with the patch on her back.

Curious, Grace asked, "Who sent this ointment? Your boyfriend?"

"No. Just a friend," Noelle replied. She glanced at the book on the table, feeling like Cedric was mocking her. She picked up her phone again and transferred some money to him.

Cedric was puzzled and wrote, "No reward without merit."

After sending the money, Noelle waited for a while, but there was no reply, and it seemed that he had not accepted the money transfer.

The following day, she woke up, and the soreness in her body had doubled. But the area where she had applied the ointment felt much better.

Cedric had really guessed well. Noelle grabbed her textbooks and went downstairs with Grace, ready to attend class. But outside the dormitory building, she saw Lucas.

Lucas was tall and handsome, drawing the attention of several women. She took a glance and kept walking straight ahead, but she couldn't avoid him.

"Noelle, wait up."

Noelle frowned. "Move aside. I'm running late for class."

"I just want to talk for a bit. I won't take up too much of your time. I can wait until after your class." It was clear he wanted to talk.

Noelle was very impatient. "Say what you have to."

Lucas looked a little awkward as he spoke in a hoarse voice. "Xenia and I caused this whole thing. It has nothing to do with Frank. He invested half of his fortune in this project, and if he loses the bid—"

"Stop. You're begging for mercy, right?"

He nodded cautiously. "I can make it up to you, but can you not pursue the responsibility with Frank?"

Noelle sneered. "And how exactly do you want me not to pursue it?"
