No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 201

Frank never expected Noelle to go this far. He looked up and said with difficulty, "Noelle, isn't there any way to change your mind?"

Xenia couldn't help but feel a flicker of joy at the situation. This was good news for her. She quickly put on a sad look and said, "Noelle, we're family—blood is thicker than water. Can't we..."

"Shut up!" Frank cut her off sharply. Her tear-streaked face, which he once found pitiful, now only irritated him. Perhaps bringing Xenia into their home had been a mistake from the start.

Noelle calmly said, "Frank, this is the last time I'll acknowledge you as my brother. Sign it."

She pushed the pen into his hand. "The Liddell family has been nothing but a nightmare for me. I can't stay another moment," she said firmly.

Frank covered his face with one hand. After a long pause, he finally signed the papers.

Noelle quickly took the documents, worried that something might go wrong. Once she had what she wanted, she let out a sigh of relief.

She grabbed the pen, threw it in the trash, and said, "I've used this pen long enough. Time for a new one."

She didn't want anything she had given to remain in the Liddell family's hands. Noelle left the study without looking back. She walked straight out of the Liddell residence, the place she had lived in for so many years.

"Noelle!" Frank called out, stumbling after her while holding out a bank card. "Living alone out there won't be easy. Yasnia's cost of living is high. Take this—it's the least I can do for you," he said.

"I don't need it," Noelle replied coldly. Her gaze fell on the electronic lock on the front gate. Without hesitation, she picked up a brick from the ground and smashed it.

Frank froze, confused by her actions.

Noelle dusted off her hands. "This villa was left by my parents. It's disgusting to use Xenia's birthday as the password. Change it," she said flatly.

With that, she turned and walked toward Cedric. Frank stared at the broken lock with confusion. Just then, Gordon and Xenia came outside.

Gordon seized the moment to apologize, dropping to his knees. "Mr. Frank, I was wrong. I'll never make such a decision again!" he pleaded.

"Gordon has been taking care of the family for so long, Frank. He's getting old. Don't send him away," Xenia said.

Frank rubbed his temples, feeling tired. "Fine, he can stay, but he won't be in charge anymore. He'll just be a regular household staff. I've decided to move to Yasnia. Gordon can stay here and help you while you study," he said firmly.

To Frank, the Liddell family had already treated Xenia well enough. If she didn't appreciate it, that was her problem.

Xenia bit her lip and said, "Thank you, Frank!"

All she cared about was to keep Gordon for now. However, she wasn't planning to stay here and study. She would follow them to Yasnia. There was no way she would let them leave her behind.

As Noelle's car disappeared down the road, Xenia's eyes were filled with hate. She vowed that she would crush Noelle beneath her feet one day.
