No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 189

Lucas' expression shifted as he looked at the man sitting beside Noelle. "That's the school doctor," he said.

Donovan frowned. "The school doctor? Why does he look so familiar?"

Lucas glanced at him. "Donovan, have you met him before?"

Donovan narrowed his eyes and studied the man. "There's a resemblance, but I've only seen him from a distance, given his status," he muttered.

The Liddells were nothing compared to the Greene family. There was no way the heir of the Greenes would be at an event like this, let alone be involved with Noelle.

Donovan shook his head and convinced himself it must have been a mistake.

The host stepped onto the stage with a bright smile, holding a microphone. "Welcome, everyone! We're thrilled to have you here today. Our first Outstanding Youth Award goes to this year's youngest recipient—Yasnia's top exam scorer, Ms. Noelle Liddell!"

Donovan's expression twisted in disbelief. "What? She actually won?"

Noelle froze in shock when she heard her name.

He couldn't help but wonder when Noelle had become so capable.

Lucas grinned. "It's great. Noelle's incredible, and I'm proud of her."

However, Donovan felt something sink inside him. His emotions churned uncomfortably.

Noelle took a deep breath as she stepped onto the stage. This felt like the beginning of something new.

After her speech, the host turned to Noelle with a warm smile. "Ms. Liddell, not only are you the top scorer this year, but you were also involved in a highly successful game development project. Despite your young age, you've achieved so much. You've mentioned before that your family played a big role in your success. Since the Liddells are here tonight, let's hear from them!"

Then, she handed the microphone to Donovan.

Donovan held it awkwardly, as if it were burning his hand. With all eyes on him, his face flushed hot.

"Noelle's achievements today wouldn't have been possible without the support and guidance from her family," Donovan said smoothly.
