No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric)

The next moment, Cedric flicked her forehead with his finger and frowned. "Didn't I tell you not to drink at the bar? You really don't learn, do you?"

He couldn't imagine what Noelle would have gone through if he hadn't been there last night. She recalled the events of last night and couldn't help but feel a lingering sense of dread.

Her eyes turned cold. "Xenia is hanging out with the heirs and heiresses from Yasnia's elite families. I didn't expect them to be so outrageous."

She had been too careless.

Cedric's tone turned harsh. "How do you want to punish them?"

"It's not easy. They are from Yole University's business school. Their family background is not something ordinary people can take on."

However, she wouldn't just let it go.

Hearing her words, he felt his heart ache. "Just say the word."

As long as she spoke, he would take matters into his own hands to seek revenge for her.

"It's really not necessary. I don't want you to get into trouble."

The heirs and heiresses from the business school had quite impressive backgrounds, some e of which she couldn't contest alone. She didn't want Cedric to get involved in her troubles. noveldrama

Cedric saw her understanding demeanor. "Don't worry about these things. It's not something you need to think about."

"Cedric, I know you want to avenge me, but I already have a plan." Noelle looked up at him solemnly. "I'm lucky it was you I met last night."

Now, she had other things to do. She

remembered that he also

reciprocated her feelings last night, which made her wonder if he secretly had feelings for her, too.

He met her gaze and avoided it for a moment. Just then, someone knocked on

the door. Cedric quickly turned around. "Let's eat something first."

He walked to the door and opened it, only to find a woman standing outside.

"Ced, I need to talk to you. It's about Samantha." Laura stood at the door, nervously glancing into the room, but Cedric stepped aside to block her view.
