No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56

Frank said, “I’m here to discuss Noelle’s situation with you. She can’t keep staying with you.”

“So?” Cedric replied.

“If you truly care about her, stop encouraging her to act out against our family. If my brother finds out about this, she’ll be confined to the Liddell residence, and that would only affect her preparations for the college entrance exams.

“I just hope that we can all avoid unnecessary trouble until her exams are over. It’ll be for her own good. What do you think?”

Cedric said slowly with a hint of arrogance, “You don’t have any right to talk to me, just like how not a single one of you can force Noelle to concede with your request.

“Otherwise, what happened to your companies during the repechage will only happen again.”

Frank’s expression immediately changed. “Was that your doing?”

During the repechage, the original plan was for him and Blake to attend the competition. However, something suddenly happened to the company, so they could only choose to forgo the competition.

Blake was still swamped with his work, dealing with issues related to a TV series, and could not

return.

The look in Frank’s eyes immediately sharpened as he looked at Cedric. “Who on earth are you? What’s your goal in approaching Noelle?”

He wondered how a mere school doctor could do so much damage and questioned Cedric’s reasons for getting close to Noelle.

Cedric’s tone was filled with arrogance as he said, “That has nothing to do with end of the day, not one of you can stop Noelle from doing what she wants.

Frank gulped. “But she will agree to move back. Although she slapped Lucas and Xenia yesterday, she is still a kind child.”

Cedric chuckled. “She had just started her period and could not afford to get wet from the rain. But what did your family end up doing? Does your family even deserve her kindness?”

Cedric’s words hit Frank like a truck. What had they done? Lucas had forced Noelle to give up

her umbrella for Xenia.

Unable to answer Cedric’s question, Frank left the infirmary feeling defeated.

“It seems like you have quite the conscience on you. He didn’t treat you so well for nothing.” Noelle was slightly embarrassed. “Frank and I had discussed things thoroughly. So moving back won’t be too much of a problem, and I’ll be able to avoid many problems from happening.

“I

When Noelle left, Alfred strolled into the infirmary and asked, “Did you hear that? She’s doing it all for your sake. She wants to protect you. Why are you putting on such a pissy expression? What if you end up scaring her?”

Cedric frowned. “Do I need her protection?”

“You’re right. No one would dare to provoke you, but she doesn’t know about your true identity. It’s rare to find a kid with such good character.”

“That goes without saying.” However, Cedric still felt a strong sense of discomfort in his heart.

Frank really did understand how to manipulate Noelle.

None of them cared about her when she was still living with them. But now that she left, they dared to come groveling back and force her to return.

Alfred smirked. “By the way, Ced, I’ve always wondered about something. How did Nelly learn your 12–hit combo? That’s your signature move!”
