No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric)

Noelle gazed at the reporter's camera, momentarily lost in thought.

After a quick pause, she said, "The person I want to thank the most is my family. They've always placed a strong emphasis on education. Over the last few months of my studies, my brothers' encouragement and support helped me a lot. "They even hired a tutor to help me at home, making sure I stayed focused every day. That's how I've been able to achieve these good results."

As she finished speaking, a wave of sarcasm washed over her.

Xenia widened her eyes at her response. Was Noelle lying?

The truth was that Noelle's brothers hadn't been that concerned about her grades.

Even Lucas had downplayed the importance of academics. During a team competition, he even encouraged her to skip classes for gaming practice, contributing to her falling behind in her studies.

Her poor exam results were directly tied to her focus on gaming.

Why was Noelle saying the opposite?

Xenia was confused. She wondered if Noelle was trying to mend things with her brothers.

The reporter continued, "Noelle, we've heard that your grades weren't outstanding in the past, but over the last few months, your scores improved, and you even achieved the top score in the city. Was it the result of private tutoring?" "No," Noelle answered, "It was due to the excellent teaching from our school's teachers."noveldrama

After the brief interview, Noelle took photos with the school's leaders.

The banner hanging on campus, which had previously obscured her name, was now torn open, proudly revealing "Noelle" in bold letters.

Noelle was treated like a star surrounded by classmates and teachers. Everyone wanted to shake hands with the top scorer, eager to bask in her success.

Meanwhile, Xenia watched from the side, jealousy gnawing at her. She snapped off a fingernail, her eyes reddening with envy.

She never imagined Noelle's grades could improve so rapidly, let alone that she would become the top scorer in the city.

How could this happen?

Noelle's grades had always been poor, and she couldn't even compare to Xenia.

Beside her, Betty muttered angrily, "Xenia, I just heard Noelle thank the principal for the stationery he gave her. Could it be that she has some special connection with him? Did he give her the answers? Otherwise, how could she have possibly become the top scorer in the city?"

Xenia had also heard Noelle's words and started to suspect something wasn't right.

In reality, Noelle hadn't used subpar stationery for the exam, but she had kept that fact quiet.

Xenia's eyes briefly flashed with cunning intent. "You should go find the reporters and leak this."

She was sure that someone would question the authenticity of Noelle's exam results.

Plus, Noelle had caused Justin's injury and sent him to the hospital The her get away with that. Content Belongs to

Once the truth came out, Noelle would be knocked off her pedestal and never recover.

She needed to quickly stir up trouble with Justin's family at the hospital.

After Noelle finished the interview and some promotional activities for the school, Lionel urged her to attend the school's celebration banquet.

Unable to refuse, Noelle walked out of the campus with Rachel.

A luxury car was parked on the roadside.

Frank stepped out of the car and approached Noelle with a serious expression. "Nelly, you need to come with me right now."
