No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 294

"That's right. Aren't you feeling bad for her? And if you're that kind-hearted, why don't you compensate on her behalf? What's stopping you?"

The dorm supervisor mumbled, "I just meant—"

Noelle cut her off sharply. "Wow, that's stingy. You're just trying to guilt-trip others and do nothing else, huh?"

Her sharp retorts left the dorm supervisor flustered. The latter retreated in embarrassment.

Noelle sneered as she watched her leave. "Some people these days want to play the hero without paying any price themselves. All they want to do is talk and guilt-trip."

After Noelle's blunt words, the students outside the door chimed in. "Exactly! Jessica's parents caused this mess, so why should they get away with it while others bear the cost?"

"Noelle, report this to the police! We're here to back you up!"

Noelle glanced at the crowd. "Thanks for your concern, everyone. You may all leave."

Once the crowd scattered away, Grace hesitated briefly before saying, "I'll clean the bedding and clothes, Noelle. Can we let Jessica's parents off just this once? I'm not trying to be sweet, but she only has her parents now."

Noelle gave her a glance. "No indeed to clean up since we can't spend the night here anyway. Come stay at my place instead."

"You have a place nearby?"

"Yes. Not far from school."

After informing Morgan about the situation in the form, Noelle took Grace to her apartment.

When Grace looked up the price of the apartment, she gasped in shock. It was ridiculously expensive! So Noelle had kept a low profile all this time while being so wealthy!

…

Noelle and Grace returned to campus for class the next day and saw Xenia waiting outside the class.

When she saw Noelle, she stepped forward. "Noelle, can we have a moment to talk in private?"

Noelle followed her to the side and coldly asked, "What's up?"

"Could you delete the video you recorded yesterday?"
