No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 216

Noelle countered with a question, her eyes filled with a hint of expectation. She was eager to know how Cedric truly saw her.

Cedric thought momentarily before replying, "I see you as a little sister, so I can come. But no other men are allowed."

A little sister? Her heart sank, and she said, "I don't need a brother."

At that moment, Cedric's phone rang. He glanced at the screen before answering, "Hello?"

"Mr. Greene, there's an urgent matter at the company. When will you be able to come?"

"I'll be there shortly."

Cedric hung up and turned to Noelle. "The home supplies will be delivered later. You don't need to go out to pick them up."

"You're not going? Who called you just now? Is it something urgent?" Noelle wondered if it was that woman calling.

He hesitated for a moment. "It's a bit urgent. I'll head out now."

"Okay."

Noelle watched him leave, her emotions a rollercoaster. He had received a call and rushed off—surely it was that woman's call.

Since she was alone at home, Noelle prepared some materials for an artificial intelligence project she might need later. Soon after, someone knocked at the door.

"Ms. Liddell, we're from the home supplies company. We're here to deliver your order. Is it convenient?"

Noelle was puzzled. "I didn't order anything."

"Mr. Greene ordered it." She hadn't expected Cedric to actually send the household supplies; she had thought he was just casually saying that.

She immediately called him, but there was no answer. She glanced at the workers outside. "Go ahead and bring them in."

Noelle exited the taxi and entered Yole University, where her new life began. She walked to the registration area and pulled out her admission letter and the required documents.

"Noelle, looks like you really treasure that admission letter. It's no wonder you were so angry when it was opened earlier.

"It's just an admission letter. What's the big deal?" Dressed in designer clothes and carrying a branded handbag, Xenia walked over.

Upon seeing Xenia, Noelle sneered. "You had your exam results canceled for cheating. What are you doing at Yole University? The entry score here is so high, you couldn't even reach it if you jumped."

Noelle had brought up Xenia's cheating scandal, which made Xenia grind her teeth in anger. Why did this bitch have to bring up the one thing Xenia hated?

Fortunately, this was Yasnia, and no one around knew them.

Xenia deliberately flashed a smug smile. "I have good news for you— I'm a student at Yole University, too."
