No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 

Lucas couldn’t believe that Noelle had him isolated like this. 

When Noelle saw Lucas appear, she wasn’t surprised. “Isn’t Xenia always out all night with you guys?” 

Xenia’s eyes turned red with grievance. “Noelle, how could you say that?” 

“Noelle, stop talking nonsense. Xenia is my sister! You should apologize to her right now!” Lucas snapped. 

Noelle looked at him coldly. “She’s the one who started talking nonsense. I’m just repeating 

what I’ve learned from her.” 

Xenia’s voice wavered with a sob. “I–I didn’t mean it that way. You misunderstood me.” 

Lucas, who usually kept his temper in check, suddenly lost control. “Noelle, just look at yourself. What have you become? Are you really going to deny spending last night with the school doctor? Everyone knows it’s true!” 

Noelle looked at him silently. 

As soon as the words left Lucas‘ mouth, he regretted them, but with so many people watching, he said nothing to clarify. 

Noelle found the situation laughable. “Even if it’s true, what does it have to do with you?” She turned and walked toward her classroom. 

“Stop right there! What do you mean it has nothing to do with us? You’re getting so full of yourself just because you won a repechage match. Who do you think you are?” 

Noelle let out a cold chuckle without even looking back. She sat at her desk, completely ignoring the commotion outside. 

Watching her aloofness, Lucas felt a surge of rage building inside him. Yet, he dared not escalate things further. After all, he was still being shut out and shouldn’t even be at the 

school. 

Seeing this, Xenia deliberately added, “Lucas, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have.asked Noelle about it. I just didn’t want her to do something impulsive out of anger.”
