No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1041

When Noelle heard Donovan's question, she bowed to the memorial before stepping back. The others stepped forward to do the same.

Once the brief ceremony concluded, everyone moved back to the seating area.

Donovan frowned. "Noelle, you still haven't answered me. We're standing before Mom and Dad, so you can't lie to us."

Carl chimed in, "Can you tell us what really happened back then?"

Noelle glanced at Donovan before calmly saying, "What happened that day is exactly as you all know. There's no difference from what I remembered.

"The person who saved me and returned to try and rescue Mom and Dad wasn't Sean; it was Cedric."

The room fell silent.

She looked around at the Liddells with a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Isn't it ridiculous? You used to tell me over and over again about how I owed Sean my life. But in the end, it wasn't him; it was Cedric."

Everyone's expression stiffened awkwardly, and Donovan retorted, "We didn't know anything."

Frank echoed, "Yeah… I never would've guessed it turned out like this."

Carl smiled lightly and chimed in, "It looks like the Liddell family owes Cedric a favor, then."

"Well, we're helping treat his mom this time, and we can call it even. There won't be any more debts between us and the Greene family," Blake added.

Noelle glanced at Carl and said, "As long as Mrs. Greene's treatment goes smoothly, the Greene family won't put pressure on Liddell Corporation again."

Frank smiled. "That's good to hear."

But Donovan let out a cold snort. "Cedric is partly responsible for Liddell Corporation being in this mess. And now that he lifts the pressure on us, that's supposed to be enough?"

"What more do you want?" Noelle snapped.

"You know perfectly well what Liddell Corporation lacks most right now. If the Greene family is willing to invest, we'll consider the slate wiped clean."

Noelle laughed outright. "Investment?"
