No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 125

The meeting room was quiet. It wasn't just Noelle who was surprised; Cedric hadn't expected to see her here either.

Alfred deliberately cleared his throat. "Everyone's here, huh? I heard the firewall issue was resolved, so I came to look."

He had originally come to make trouble, but he didn't expect that the person who solved the problem was Noelle. This made things a bit complicated.

Bobby stood up respectfully. "Yes, Ms. Liddell has just tested the software, and there are no issues now. Is there anything else you'd like to check?"

Alfred casually sat down and flipped through the documents, though there wasn't much to see. After all, the firewall issue was something they had deliberately fabricated to make things difficult for Liddell Corporation.

After reading for a while, he glanced at Cedric. "What do you think of it?"

He knew it was up to him to make the call. He looked at the documents and then looked at Noelle in surprise. "Did you solve this yourself?"

Noelle nodded. "Yes, it's just a simple problem."

She was actually quite surprised to learn that Alfred ran this company. So they had been staying late because of the firewall issue with this software?

The problem with the firewall wasn't complicated—it was just a mental block. She had spent a lot of time figuring it out in her past life, which was why she solved it so quickly this time.

Cedric said lightly, "If it's such a simple issue, why couldn't Liddell Corporation solve it? Why did it take a high school graduate like you to help?"

His words were laced with sarcasm.

Frank's expression immediately faltered. He hadn't expected Cedric to be here. Judging by the situation, he was either the behind-the-scenes boss or a partner.

Frank's tone became less pleasant. "Noelle was also involved in this project and responsible for the firewall part."

Alfred's words were harsh, his anger rising quickly. After learning the backstory, Cedric felt a heavy weight in his heart.

He looked at Noelle. "It's not too late to start working hard now. The company has other development projects that fit you well."

He would make up for what she had lost when she was younger. That was something he owed her.

Noelle smiled faintly. "Alright."

"Noelle."

Frank instinctively interrupted their conversation, his eyes filled with panic as he looked at her. "If you didn't want it, you could have told me back then."

If she had spoken up, he wouldn't have done it.
