No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 513

Noticing Emma's reaction, Noelle replied, "That's right. I'm from the Liddell family."

Emma anxiously pressed on, "Is Donovan your older brother?"

Noelle nodded. Though she didn't want to admit it, she had no choice, with Xenia standing right there.

Emma let out a helpless laugh. The young lady Cedric liked turned out to be the survivor of that car accident! What kind of twisted fate was this?

Noelle quickly helped steady her. "Are you alright?"

Nearby, Xenia huffed. "Noelle, didn't I tell you to bring the desserts you've removed? I have to entertain Mrs. Parham, and I don't have time to do it myself!"

Noelle ignored her and continued supporting Emma. "Let me help you to the lounge so you can rest."

Xenia snapped, "Are you deaf? Mrs. Parham is our most important guest today!"

Noelle shoved her aside. "Get lost."

Caught off guard, Xenia fell to the floor. Then, she scrambled up and rushed off to complain to Donovan.

She was certain Noelle was doomed. Donovan valued his relationship with Brittany, and he'd definitely be furious.

Meanwhile, Noelle helped Emma into the lounge and poured a cup of warm water for the latter. "Are you sure you don't need a doctor?"

"I'm fine. I'm just a little low on blood sugar." Emma came up with a random excuse.

Right now, she was utterly shaken and could barely calm herself down. She'd never expected to meet someone from that car accident again, and what shocked her more was that Cedric was interested in the girl who survived the accident back then.

Noelle brought over some pastries and set them on the table. "Have some food to regain your energy."

Emma's eyes reddened slightly. "Thank you, dear. We're really fated, aren't we?"

Emma recalled the time she ran into Noelle at the hospital and heard rumors about the latter. Back then, she learned Noelle had been hospitalized because her brother had beaten her up, and the incident had gone viral.

At that time, she'd just thought Noelle had a complicated family situation, and it was only now that she learned the truth.

Her heart ached for Noelle. "Have you had a rough time all these years?"

"It's all in the past now," Noelle replied. Then, she heard voices approaching outside.

She got up. "You should rest. I have something to attend to."

Just as she stepped out of the lounge, Donovan and Xenia arrived.

Xenia immediately launched into her complaint. "Look, Donovan. I told you, didn't I? Noelle is just slacking off in there.

"I told her to bring back the desserts Mrs. Parham wanted, and she refused. Now Mrs. Parham is upset about our event being too shabby."
