No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 128

Noelle wasn't sure what major she would choose in the future; there were so many things she wanted to do.

"We'll talk about it when we get back," she said.

"Alright."

Walking beside Cedric, Noelle glanced down at his shadow, and her mood lifted considerably for some reason. The two returned to the room together.

Upon seeing the smile on her face, Frank felt increasingly annoyed. She used to smile at him like that in the past, but now she wouldn't even get angry at him.

He took a glass of wine and walked over to Cedric. "Here. A toast to you."

Cedric's expression remained indifferent as he took the glass. "I hope the game she's involved in becomes a huge success."

"Yes. That's what I hope, too, especially since she has shares in Liddell Corporation. She'll get dividends in the future."

Noelle found this a bit amusing. She did have shares on paper. But in her past life, those shares were all used to make amends to Xenia.

So, in this life, she had never thought about those shares; they had nothing to do with her.

Alfred sensed the off-putting tone and immediately added, "Ced is also a young achiever, developing in many areas. He's invested in some companies and will also receive dividends."

Would Liddell Corporation dare to belittle Cedric for being poor?

Frank took a sip of his wine and suddenly changed the subject. "Mr. Greene, you're young and accomplished. I wonder if you have a girlfriend?"

Everyone was caught off guard by the sudden shift in topic.

Noelle couldn't help but glance at Cedric. She remembered she had asked him about this before. He had said no.

Frank smiled, half-mocking. "Mr. Greene, you're so accomplished. How could any woman not be interested? It all depends on what you think."

Cedric lifted the wine glass and finished his drink. He glanced at Noelle, but she had her head down, so he couldn't see her expression.

He knew he was doing something cruel. But if she ever found out who he really was, her situation would be a thousand times worse than it was now. So it was better to cut it off early.

He believed she would have a much more brilliant life. He couldn't give her the happiness she wanted and had no right to.

It was just a brief glance, but his thoughts went in countless directions. He casually smiled. "Who knows? It all depends on the feeling."

Frank continued, "I know quite a few heiresses, and they're about the right age for you, Mr. Greene. Fair skin, beautiful, long legs. Would you like to meet them?"

Noelle's eyelashes fluttered, and she spoke up firmly. "There's no need for that!"
