Lucas turned to Justin and snarled, “I don’t want to say too much to a brat like you. If this happens again, I’ll just go and have a talk with your parents!”
Then, he turned to grab Noelle’s wrist and said, “Get in the car. We’re leaving!”
Noelle subconsciously tried to break free from Lucas‘ grasp, but she ultimately got dragged
into the latter’s car.
Xenia quickly ran over and asked, “Lucas, are you mad at me because of what I’ve said just now? I was just stating facts, as I didn’t want you two to start fighting.
“After all, Justin has his family’s support in Yasnia. If we were to argue here, Donovan would have a hard time when he encounters the Parhams over there.”
Lucas had been pissed, but he calmed down considerably after hearing Xenia mention
Donovan’s name.
He said, “If Donovan finds out that that little punk had harassed Noelle, he would definitely go after the Parhams.”
Xenia was at a loss for words as she was filled with discomfort. Ultimately, she and Noelle were still treated differently. She also wondered why Lucas was there.
. So, she asked, “Lucas, haven’t you been busy? Why do you have time to come and pick us up from school now?”
Lucas discretely glanced at Noelle, but the latter continued to stare out of the car window as if she hadn’t heard their conversation. He was immediately unhappy after seeing that Noelle was ignoring him, but he quickly kept his temper in check.
After all, he was there to make amends with Noelle.
Lucas said, “I’ve moved out for some time, so I was curious about how the two of you were doing.”
Xenia noticed that Lucas kept staring at Noelle and could guess why he was there. She figured that he probably hadn’t found anyone suitable to join his esports team.
Noelle was in a bad mood as she continued to watch the cars pass by through the window.
When she returned to her senses, she realized that she wasn’t back at the Liddell residence but at the base of Lucas‘ team training camp. The place was filled with different pictures and posters of their team.
Noelle did not expect Lucas to bring her here. The second she got out of the car, several people rushed out and surrounded her.
“Congratulations on joining our team!”
