No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 162

Alfred said calmly, "I can handle this alone. There's no need to involve Cedric."

Why would he need Alfred's help to teach Justin a lesson? It would be like using an axe to cut a watermelon.

Xenia remarked, "You? I think you're not powerful enough. Wasn't Alfred filled with bravado? Why is he hiding away now?"

"Shut up," Justin said. He added, "Why are you taking that tone with him?"

Even he didn't dare to speak to Alfred like that.

Xenia felt sad. "What's wrong with what I said, Justin?"

Alfred smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. He said to Justin, "Ask her to leave. We'll discuss this among ourselves."

"Right, right. Xenia, please leave the room and shut the door behind you."

"Justin, this has to do with me as well. Why do I have to leave?"

Xenia felt like Justin wasn't respecting her. Men never valued women once they roped them into a relationship.

Justin said impatiently, "Just get out like I told you to. Do you not understand English or what?"

He didn't want to let her watch how Alfred beat him up. He wanted to preserve his reputation.

Xenia stomped her foot and walked out angrily, leaving the two men in the room.

Alfred walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down. "You really know how to have a good time, don't you?"

"The man in the club sounded like you but I thought I'd recognized the wrong person. Why didn't you take your mask off there?"

"This has nothing to do with you. You deserved to get hurt. Don't drag others into this, alright?"

Justin was confused. "Is the doctor your friend?"

If not, why would Alfred come to settle this at the hospital himself?

"Yes. Do you know what needs to be done now?"

"But he broke my bones. You don't care about me, Alfred. Who's that doctor? How has he managed to send you to talk to me?"

Alfred wished Justin would just take the hint. "You better stay unaware. As long as you don't make a big deal out of this, I'll talk to your mom about your grades."

Justin was ecstatic. "Deal!"
