Noelle briefly communicated with Lionel, then realized the person answering the phone was likely one of her family members—maybe Donovan or Frank.
Just like in her previous life, they took matters into their own hands and decided which school she should apply to.
Despite having the grades to get into a top university in her past life, she was forced to attend the same school as Xenia. They claimed it was for Xenia and her to look after each other.
If she disagreed, they would cut off her allowance and all financial support.
Noelle's expression turned cold. "Mr. Kramer, you know my relationship with my family. I didn't expect them to make decisions for me without consulting me. However, I'm going to Yole University. I need to change my account and password."
Lionel replied, "Alright, I understand. I'll contact the admissions office right away. You should come in person to confirm your enrollment."
Lionel knew the Liddells were biased, but he never expected their favoritism to go this far.
He couldn't understand how they could reject the offer on Noelle's behalf without consulting her. It was as if they were deliberately trying to ruin her future.
After hanging up the phone, Noelle washed her face and changed her clothes. Before leaving the apartment, she glanced at the door of the neighboring unit.
She thought about it for a moment but decided not to tell Cedric. She needed to handle her own matters.
She couldn't rely on Cedric too much.
In the afternoon, Noelle took a taxi to the university alone.
When she arrived, she met with the admissions staff from Yole University.
Lionel introduced her. "This is Noelle Liddell. I've briefly explained her family situation to you, but this doesn't reflect Noelle's wishes."
The admission staff smiled. "Got it. Based on your scores, you're eligible for our top programs—Finance, Computer Science and Mathematics. Feel free to explore your interests, and we can discuss them further."
