No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric)

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."noveldrama

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."

She would have to settle the

payment with Cedric later. Soon, the workers had placed all the furniture and supplies. Noelle thought they looked pretty nice-they were of light colors that were easy on the eyes.

Once the workers left, Noelle sent Cedric a picture of the living room. "You have

nice taste. How much did all this cost? I'll pay you back."

She didn't want to accept these things from him. It just felt off. However, Cedric never replied.

Noelle felt conflicted and frustrated. Eventually, out of spite, she stopped asking. Since he wasn't in a hurry, why should she be?

On the first day of school, Noelle took a taxi to Yole University with her suitcase. A

black luxury car followed closely behind as she got into the taxi.

Inside the car, Alfred spoke lazily. "If you're that worried, why not send her to school yourself instead of sneaking around and following her?"

"There's no need."

Cedric's gaze was fixed on the taxi ahead. He had nearly been recognized the last time they were at the restaurant. Since Noelle was starting a new chapter in her life, he decided he shouldn't appear in it anymore.

His gaze was filled with reluctance, which was something he didn't even realize.

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."
