No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 489

Noelle had never really considered such a possibility. She recalled that in her previous life, Xenia was chasing after Justin with the intention of marrying into a wealthy family.

She figured that Xenia would not even spare a glance for a family like the Liddells. She shook her head and said, "I'm not sure about that."

Donovan had always been biased toward Xenia. In Noelle's previous life, he was the one who suggested bringing Xenia into the Liddell family, which was why even Noelle herself had no idea.

After a while, Micah spoke up. "You two should just head back to the dorm for now. You don't have to wait for me."

Grace immediately replied, "It's not like there's much time left anyway. I already talked to the dorm supervisor and told her that we'd be back much later. It's fine."

Noelle chimed in and said, "The three of us came here together, so we'll also be going back together."

Micah was afraid of meeting Noelle's eyes. Her hands hiding under the covers slowly clenched together as she decided not to say more.

And so, the three of them headed back to the dorm together.

Grace and Noelle deliberately slowed down their own pace to match Micah's slower steps.

Once they returned to their dorm, Noelle took a shower and went straight to bed. She had already gotten plenty of exercise that day.

There were no classes the next morning, so she slept all the way until noon.

When she got out of bed, she noticed that the table was filled with various delicious-looking dishes. She was surprised, as she did not expect Micah to usually eat so well.

Micah gathered her courage and spoke up. "Let's eat together, Noelle."

"Sure!" Noelle quickly realized that it was Micah trying to thank her and Grace for their help, which was why Micah invited them for a meal.

Noelle did not refuse. After Noelle finished freshening up and sat down for lunch, she noticed that the dishes were all from L Bistro.

She had eaten at L Bistro before, and she recognized the dishes' signature taste. Even the tableware was the same.

It would seem that Micah came from a well-off family.

In the afternoon, Noelle went to the e-sports team's base for training as usual while the film crew continued their shooting outside. The school life-themed drama was not yet finished after all.

Another employee next to the manager asked, "Wasn't Ms. Quigley supposed to take over the company? Why did it suddenly end up in Ms. Liddell's hands?"

The manager explained, "You don't get it, do you? Noelle Liddell is the true heiress of the Liddell family. Blood is thicker than water, after all.

"Siblings may have a falling out once in a while, but they'll always reconcile in the end. Well, at the end of the day, outsiders will always be just that, outsiders."

The manager's words were meant for Xenia's ears.

Had Xenia not deliberately used that video to provoke Blake, the live stream incident would not have happened, and Blake would not have been disfigured.

Now that Noelle was made the company's majority shareholder, it was clear that the family would always stick together.

Xenia now finally understood the concept of a cruel and harsh reality, leaving her heart filled with hatred.

If Noelle were to return to the Liddells, Xenia's days would be numbered.

She could not take it anymore.
