No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 598

Noelle tightened her grip just enough to make Laura wince in pain. Her gaze was icy as she said, "You have everything, yet Cedric still doesn't want you. Maybe you should be asking yourself why."

She released Laura's wrist with a slight shove. "Ms. Merlock, if you want to keep coming after me, I'll be more than happy to play along. I still have plenty of dirt on Samantha."

If Noelle exposed what she had on Samantha, it would not just ruin her reputation—it would drag the entire Merlock family down with her.

Laura's face darkened. She had assumed Noelle would be an easy target, just some nobody from a small-town family. However, it turned out Noelle was not so easy to crush.

In the end, Laura scoffed. "All Liddells are desperate to climb the social ladder. Donovan even shamelessly agreed to be the Cantrells' live-in son-in-law just for power and status."

Noelle said with a smirk, "You're absolutely right. Just like how you sat in a café and lied to my face without even blinking. That was pretty shameless, too."

She did not care what Laura thought about the Liddells. Then, noticing that the competition was about to start, she turned and headed toward the backstage area to prepare.

Laura clutched her designer bag tightly, glaring at Noelle's retreating figure. She cursed under her breath, "We'll see about that, you little bitch!"

Noelle joined her teammates backstage. Raymond, the second-best player on the team in terms of skill, was discussing tactics and potential scenarios for the upcoming match. She stood by, watching, and suddenly felt a surge of confidence—this match was as good as won.

When the competition began, Noelle led her team out onto the stage. Outside, fans held up signs with her name, cheering loudly. The cameras were mostly focused on her, as she was not only a popular streamer but also known for her exceptional gaming skills, which made her a fan favorite.
