Sebastian looked at Noelle’s hurt but stubborn expression. In the end, he still reached out and took the little bottle of pills.
But he and Lucas shared the same thought–there was no way those pills were safe to take.
Noelle saw the doubt on both their faces. The corner of her lips lifted just a little.
She quietly picked up her phone and sent Serena a quick message.
Almost at the same time, Lucas’s phone rang.
“Sebastian! Good news!”
Lucas looked thrilled. “The Miracle Healer doesn’t have time to treat you in person, but she made some pills that can suppress the poison in your body for a short time. The price is a billion dollars! She’s asking if we want them! Of course, we want them! I already paid!”
Lucas was overjoyed, even though something felt strange. They had just been talking about pills, and suddenly, the Miracle Healer sent word about pills too. It felt a little too perfect… But he didn’t think too hard about it.
He paid that billion dollars without hesitation.
When Noelle saw the “payment received” notification on her bank app, she could only accept that billion dollars with a speechless sigh.
That afternoon, Noelle headed back to school.
She studied at Riverdale Tech School.
It wasn’t because she failed her high school entrance exam. The truth was, on the day of her test, Viola pretended to be sick and stayed in the hospital on purpose. The Kain family dragged Noelle there and forced her to donate blood for 24 hours straight.
In the end, Viola even put on a fake apology before sending her to a tech school. Her tricks were so clumsy, and of course, Noelle knew they were fake.
But back then, Noelle still believed in “family.” She didn’t blame anyone, and she even told herself it didn’t matter if she didn’t go to a regular high school.
Now, though?
Noelle walked straight into the principal’s office.

Principal Oswald Nicholson was lost in the novel he was reading. When he saw her enter, he shoved the book into his drawer and instantly switched into “serious principal” mode.
“Hello, Noelle! Please, sit down.”
Noelle didn’t sit. She said directly, “Mr. Nicholson, I’m here to tell you I’m taking the SAT this year.”
“What?” Oswald shot up from his chair like a spring. His eyes lit up. “Noelle! Did you say you’re taking the SAT this year?”
Noelle nodded. “Yeah.”
Oswald was thrilled. He had known Noelle for years and understood better than anyone how insanely talented she was–straight–A in every subject, a real genius.
When she didn’t enter high school and came to the tech school instead, he was confused… but also excited to recruit such a star student.
Noelle was the type of student who could crush even the best students from top prep schools.
On her first day at the school, Oswald had even picked her up himself. He told her that tech school students could still take the SAT. He’d said, “Three years from now, we’ll walk into that SAT exam and shut them up!”
But after she enrolled, Noelle basically gave up. She skipped classes. She didn’t study. Oswald talked to her many times, but she never agreed to take the SAT.
And now this little troublemaker suddenly wanted to take it?
“Good, good, good!”
Oswald’s grin almost reached his ears. “Noelle! You finally came around! Yes! You should take the SAT! Let everyone see how amazing you are! With you, colleges like Yale or Harvard will be begging for you!”
He quickly handed her a form. “You came just in time. Two more days and the SAT application window closes. Take this home and fill it out.”
Tech schools were different–students had to apply early if they wanted to take the SAT.
Noelle took the form. “I’ll head out then.”
“Yes, yes! Go ahead!” Oswald waved happily. As she walked away, Oswald was already daydreaming. “Wonderful! Our school is about to get famous in three months! The top scholar of the city, the state, maybe the whole country, is going to come from our school!”
