Fake Heiress Reborn Drops Masks Finds Family (Noelle and Sebastian) novel Chapter 553

Chapter 553 Mark’s Chosen One

But Christine still remained unmarried after all these years and often stayed by Floyd’s side, though Floyd rarely saw her.

Shirley immediately lit up like she’d been injected with adrenaline. Her eyes sparkled as she raised her hand high and called sweetly. “Aunt Christine! Aunt Christine! I’m over here!”

She waved enthusiastically while shouting, terrified that people might not know about her connection to Christine.

The surrounding crowd instantly looked at her with envy. “Ms. Shirley’s aunt is the one controlling the Duncans. No wonder she’s so confident.”

“Exactly. The Duncans are the strongest of the Four Great Families. With that kind of connection, getting into the Nightfall Cirde is basically guaranteed.”

Hearing the whispers around her, Shirley lifted her chin even higher.

She turned and glanced toward Noelle, her eyes practically screaming, See that? That’s my aunt. Who the hell are you?

Noelte didn’t even look at her.

Once the Four Great Families had taken their places, the representatives from the different departments stepped forward next.

Medicine Department, Guard Department, Records Department. The heads of each division and Mark walked onto the platform one after another, taking their positions behind their respective family factions.

The Medicine Department walked out first. Its department head was a chubby man around 50 with a round smiling face.

Behind him walked the skinny old man from yesterday, Mark, the same man who’d personally accepted Noelle into the Medicine Department.

Mark had changed into a cleaner gray robe today, though the straw sandals were still the same pair, and still holding the same teapot.

The second he stepped onto the platform, he immediately started looking around, squinting as his gaze swept through the crowd like he was searching for something.

“Girl! Kain!” he suddenly shouted. His voice wasn’t loud, but powered by deep inner energy, it carried across the entire plaza.

Everyone froze.

Hundreds of eyes turned toward him at once before following his gaze into the crowd below.

Shirley froze too. Instinctively, she assumed Mark was calling for her.

After all, the Duncans held the highest status among the Four Great Families, and she was the Duncans’ direct heir. Surely he was calling her.

She was just about to respond with an elegant wave when Mark shouted again. “Kain! The Kain girl! The one who did the needle therapy yesterday! Where are you?”

Shirley’s expression instantly stiffened.

Noelle stood where she was, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly.

She didn’t want attention, but Mark’s voice was way too loud. Hundreds of eyes were already searching the crowd for “the Kain girl.”

Lucas gave her a shove from behind. “Go already. He’s calling you.”

Noelle had no choice but to step forward.

The crowd automatically parted for her as hundreds of eyes locked onto her from every direction. Some were curious, some envious, some jealous, and some openly malicious.

She walked onto the platform and stopped in front of Mark.

The heads of the Four Great Families all turned toward her as well, and the moment Christine saw her face, something visibly shifted in her eyes.

“To earn a special recommendation from Mr. Shelton himself, your medical skills must be extraordinary.” Christine smiled faintly. “It’s just that you look unfamiliar. I don’t believe I’ve seen you before.”

Noelle frowned slightly. Maybe it was just her imagination, but there seemed to be some strange emotion hidden in Christine’s

gaze.

Almost like she already knew Noelle wasn’t from the island and was deliberately probing her with those words.

“I lived on a remote island before this. It’s normal that you haven’t seen me.”

“Is that so?” Christine smiled.

“Don’t underestimate this girl just because her background isn’t impressive. Her skills are the real deal, especially that needle technique.”

Mark was extremely pleased with Noelle. He treasured talent and openly protected her. “I personally recruited her yesterday! She belongs to the Medicine Department now, so none of your divisions had better try stealing her from me. She’s the best talent I’ve found, so you old bastards had better not bully her.”

The entire plaza exploded into an uproar.

Mark personally backing a newcomer like this was a first in the entire history of the Nightfall Circle.

The crowd below instantly burst into whispers.

“Who exactly is this girl? Why does Mr. Shelton value her so much?”

“I heard she saved someone suffering from aconitine poisoning yesterday using only three needles. That technique’s supposedly been lost for decades.”
