Noelle felt a headache coming on. Lucas really knew how to draw attention. He had basically turned the whole hall toward them. She looked up at him. “What’s up?”
“Can’t I come say hi without a reason?” Lucas lifted an eyebrow. “Why are you sitting so far back? Didn’t we save you a seat up front?”
A sharp gasp–spread through the crowd.
Lucas saved her a seat himself?!
Eleanor was so shocked that she couldn’t even talk, clutching Quinna’s hand tightly.
Noelle glanced at him. “It’s quieter back here.”
“Alright, if you say it’s quiet, then it is.” Lucas drawled, then turned to Eleanor with a smile. “Eleanor, could you scoot over and let me sit?”
Being spoken to by him left Eleanor completely stunned. She stood up clumsily, nearly tripping as she gave up her seat.
Lucas sat down naturally beside Noelle, crossing his long legs and leaning back. He looked relaxed, yet dangerously attractive.
He turned toward her. “How’s your foot? You’re already grown. How did you still end up getting picked on? I heard during the military drill, people were lining up to mess with you.”
His words sounded concerned, but his tone was annoyingly smug. “Now that I’m here, tell me who did it. I’ll get payback for you.”
Holly wasn’t sitting with Noelle, but they were in the same class and close enough to hear. When she caught Lucas’s words, her heart skipped.
Seeing Noelle act bored and not complain to Lucas at all, Holly finally relaxed.
The scene was loud enough to catch Ethan’s, Roman’s, and Alina’s attention.
The moment Alina saw Noelle, her expression softened. Unlike how she ignored Viola, she stood up and walked straight toward Noelle.
Roman’s eyes lit up the second he spotted Noelle.
It’s Dr. Kain!
Someone like him normally wouldn’t show up at events like that. Other families sent younger members. He came here just to meet Noelle.
He’d searched for her for a long time and couldn’t find her. Then, when Noelle became the national SAT’s top scorer, he happened to see her interview.

Chapter 254 They Know Her
From that moment on, he had been excited, waiting for a chance to meet her. When Kingstowne University invited the major families, he came without hesitation.
Ethan also noticed Noelle, his jaw tightening.

He clearly wanted to go over, but his pride stopped him. He turned away and leaned back, looking annoyed.
Viola’s expression was awful. She had come over, and now everyone had left, including Alina. It was clearly humiliating.
Thankfully, Ethan hadn’t moved.
Her expression eased slightly. The Menzies were also powerful in Kingstowne. She stepped forward. “Mr. Ethan-”
“Get lost.”
Ethan’s single word was cold and detached, yet it left Viola burning with shame.
Chris rubbed his nose awkwardly, while the other senior figures exchanged glances.
Blushing furiously, Viola couldn’t stay any longer. She clenched her teeth and returned to her seat.
Meanwhile, people were still stunned by Lucas calling Noelle by her nickname when they saw Alina and Roman walking toward her as well.
Every pair of eyes in the hall was pulled toward that corner.
Alina crossed the aisle with steady steps, the hem of her dark suit shifting slightly.
She stopped in front of Noelle, her usually cool voice carrying rare warmth. “Hello, Noey.”
Roman nearly rushed over, his wrinkled face breaking into a wide smile. “Dr. Kain! I finally found you!”
Everyone was stunned in silence.
If Lucas’s appearance had been shocking, then Alina and Roman following suit made people wonder if they were seeing things.
