No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric)

If all Noelle's family did was hold her back and stop her from beginning her new life, Cedric would forge a path for her. Anyone who stood in her way would be killed.

Noelle heard his voice and sniffled, "There's no need for that. I've resolved the problem myself. Don't piss my brother off. He isn't someone to be played with."

Donovan had always been a tyrant. She was scared he'd suffer in Donovan's heed. After all, he was powerful in Yasnia. Cedric didn't hail from a wealthy background. It was a David versus Goliath situation.

Cedric narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you think I'm one to be toyed with?"

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. For all these years, it had always been other people pissing him off. There was no one he couldn't contend with!

Cedric saw the concern in her eyes. He wanted to say something but swallowed it back.

After all, Donovan might've met him before. If he showed up, his identity would be revealed. Before he told her about who he was, he could interact with Noelle as friends. After he revealed his identity, he would no longer have the right to stay by her side.

Cedric admitted that he was shrinking back.

Noelle noticed that she was still clinging onto Cedric. She let him go slowly, looking a little awkward. "It's great that you're alright. Let's go home."

Today, she signed the contract to sever ties with the Liddells.

Donovan prioritized his reputation over all else. He definitely wouldn't pay her any attention now. This was the effect she wanted to achieve.

On the third floor of the hospital, Donovan stood in the corridor outside the emergency room, watching Noelle hug a man through the window.

However, he could only see the back of the man. His face was obscured.

Donovan frowned and said, "That's the medic, right? He shouldn't show up here."

His lackey reported, "Mr. Liddell, all the men we sent have gone missing. We can't contact them."

"What do you mean? He's just a school medic. How did he manage that?"

Lucas added, "He probably comes from a formidable background? He was the one who hid her in an apartment. Frank spent a long time finding her."

"No matter what background he comes from, he's still nothing more than a gangster. I think Noelle was deluded by him. She'll regret

decisions. From today onward, stop

providing for Noelleozmet

"Donovan, since we adopted Xenia officially and Noelle got pissed at us, she hasn't spent a single penny of our money."

Donovan was surprised, "How did she survive?"

"Her school provides a scholarship. She improved tremendously in the last few months. Now, she's one of the best livestreamers in Firestorm Entertainment. She's not in need of any money."

When Lucas mentioned this, he felt guilty. Noelle didn't need to rely on the Liddells anymore.

Donovan wasn't expecting Noelle to be economically independent. He raged, "She's just a small livestreamer. That flatters her. What is it in comparison to the Liddells' wealth?"noveldrama

Lucas said internally, "But she was the state valedictorian."

She had a bright future ahead of her.

Donovan received a call. "Good day,

Mr. Liddell. We're from the

admissions department of the

University of Yasnia. You're the legal guardian of Noelle, right? We would

like to discuss her applic

BUMS

He huffed and said, "She won't go there. She'll stay back here."

Donovan immediately hung up. "If Noelle goes to Yasnia, who knows what she'll do, with that personality of hers. It's better for her to study locally. The Liddel family car look after her."

"Aren't you going to discuss this with her?"

"Why would I do that?"

Lucas felt like it wasn't appropriate, but he said nothing. He sighed and added,

"With Xenia's grades, she can probably only study locally."
