No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 528

Mia frowned at Grace's words. "Maybe they are just really close siblings."

"That's way beyond normal." Grace wanted to argue, but Noelle stopped her. Mia glanced at the bouquet of roses again with a complicated expression.

The next day during class, Noelle noticed that Xenia was once again dressed in high-end designer clothes, carrying a Hermes bag with a smug look.

However, Xenia's gaze flickered when she spotted Noelle, and she quickly kept her distance as if afraid Noelle would stop her and question her.

Noelle found this amusing. It seemed Xenia wasn't even trying to hide anymore.

After class, Noelle received a message from Cedric telling her he had to leave for a sudden business trip.

She realized that Cedric had been unusually busy lately. Was it because he overheard Donovan's complaints and got so affected that he started overworking himself?

Once he returned, she needed to talk properly with Cedric and tell him to relax.

Noelle had been staying in her dorm. With Frank and Blake gone, she had no intention of returning to the Liddell residence.

That afternoon, she received a message from Laura inviting her to the charity gala planning dinner.

After considering it, Noelle decided to attend. She couldn't let people continue assuming that the foundation her parents had created was just a money-making scheme.

After class, she took a cab straight to the venue.

When she arrived, she realized the place was incredibly high-end, with luxury cars lined up outside.

What a surprise.
