No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 58

 

Chapter 58 

Noelle looked at Gordon and said, “Know your place, Gordon. You’re just a butler. You don’t tell me what to do.” 

Gordon was slightly angered. “Ms. Liddell, I may be just a butler, but I still have the right to speak the truth!” 

“Oh? And why should I listen to you?” 

When Noelle returned to the Liddell family that time around, she had already run out of patience. Back then, she believed everything would be fine if she remained indifferent to or ignored things. 

But some people, like Gordon, never knew when to stop. 

The other housekeepers notified Frank that something had happened upstairs. He rushed to Noelle’s room and saw the food spilled on the floor. “What happened, Noelle? Is the food not to your liking?” 

Gordon seemed on the verge of tears as he complained, “Mr. Frank, I was just kindly advising Ms. Liddell not to eat alone in her bedroom as it might cause rumors to spread. 

“Not only did she slap the tray off my hands and spill the food, but she also said that I have no rights as a butler to reprimand her.” 

Frank frowned and replied, “Gordon, you, in fact, don’t have the right to reprimand her.” 

Gordon was shocked as he had never expected Frank to side with Noelle. 

Xenia immediately stepped forward, stood next to Gordon, and said, “Frank, Gordon’s just trying to help. Like my dad, he’s been with the Liddell family for many years. He may just be a butler, but he’s always been loyal to us.” 

Frank’s expression softened a little. “I didn’t mean it that way.” 

Noelle, however, simply did not want to see any of them. “I want all of you to get out!” 

Frank replied, “I’ll have someone clean up the spilled food and bring you another tray in a bit.” 

He then left the room and turned to Gordon. “Show Noelle some respect, Gordon. Don’t say anything that you shouldn’t.” 

Frank also just realized that a mere butler had dared to lecture Noelle. He reckoned that it was because the household staff had grown accustomed to the rest of the Liddell family’s mistreatment of Noelle and began to follow suit. He felt that he had failed Noelle as her older brother.
