No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1027

Noelle instinctively slapped Cedric's hand away and took a step back. "Hey now, what you're trying to do is called harassment, you know?"

Cedric reluctantly withdrew his hand. "Let's go."

His fingers slowly curled into a fist as if trying to latch onto the feeling of her skin. Later, in the middle of the night, Noelle went to the hotel with Cedric.

Jeremy had already gotten an answer, with the help of Steven, to be precise. As of now, the one thing Laura feared the most was revenge from the Hitchcock family.

Noelle and Cedric entered the hotel suite and came across Steven. They could tell that he was not a good person with just a single glance. Again, the apple did not fall far from the tree.

Alfred turned to Cedric and said, "We've got the location. I've already sent someone to look for it."

Cedric nodded in response.

Noelle let out a breath of relief. She then saw Steven approaching Cedric with a smile and said, "Mr. Greene, I believe I've been of help, right?"

Cedric nodded and replied, "I'll remember this favor. I hope I have the chance to work with you again in the future, Steven."

He made sure to make no mention of Bradley, implying that he only acknowledged Steven and no one else.

Steven was pleased. "I feel much more assured hearing it from you, Mr. Greene. I'll be going now."

He had fulfilled his part, after all. Cedric would owe him a big favor once they manage to find a kidney donor.

Steven was all smiles. He had Laura to thank for gaining access to this golden opportunity. The door to the hotel suite was closed once more.

Noelle then asked, "Where's Laura?"

Alfred replied with a complicated tone, as if he was holding something back, "Laura's still inside, with her hands and feet tied up. It's obvious that she's terrified of the Hitchcocks. She spilled everything herself without us having to pressure her about it."

"He's right outside, but he's not going to come in," Noelle replied.

Laura wanted nothing more than to kill Noelle after realizing the gravity of her situation. "Noelle, you fucking bitch! What did you say to him?! Why can't you just stay the fuck out of my life?!"

The next moment, however, her expression turned smug once more as she continued, "Noelle, I'm sure you can tell that Cedric still cares about me. Why else would he have come to the hotel otherwise?"

Noelle remained as calm as ever. "You were put on the loudspeaker when you called him. We've already heard everything you've said."

Upon hearing that, Laura's face froze up for a moment before exploding into furious anger. "He actually let you listen to the phone call?!"

"It wasn't just me. There were several other people in the room at the time."

Laura struggled as she tried to get up, but her hands and feet were tied. "Are you happy yet, Noelle? I've lost!"
