No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 689

Noelle's lips curled into a cold smile when she saw Donovan's message. The message very much fitted Donovan's nature—desperate enough to do anything when pushed into a corner.

She glanced at the message and replied, "If you dare to destroy what Mom and Dad left me, I'll destroy you in revenge! I'm sure you know that I can do that!"

After that, Donovan's calls started coming in again and again.

Mia spoke up. "Donovan will probably try to force your hand. This project is very important to him. I've overheard Aunt Salena talking to him once about Donovan investing a lot of money in the project. His company will suffer if it fails."

"He'll end up paying for his own mistakes," Noelle replied.

She had already made up her mind. She would let Donovan go in order to watch him fall into an even deeper abyss.

Grace leaned in with a grin and said, "What about you and Mr. Greene? He arrived just in time to save his damsel in distress, just like in the dramas!"

Mia continued, "Did you feel moved by his actions?"

Noelle let out a sigh and replied, "It would be a lie if I said that I wasn't moved by it, but my relationship with Cedric isn't that simple. Love isn't the one and only thing that we can care about. We can't be that selfish."

Mia replied, "You believe your relationship with Mr. Greene isn't solid enough, which is why you don't feel confident about it, right?"

Noelle smiled bitterly and replied, "Perhaps."

She was indeed not certain about her relationship with Cedric.

She lay down on her bed and began to recall what had happened earlier that day. Images of Cedric's mature and handsome face eventually surfaced in her mind., Then, she gradually drifted off to sleep as she thought about all that had happened.

…

The next morning, Noelle was woken up by her phone ringing. She yawned as she reached for her phone. When she saw that it was a call from Tilly, she immediately answered and asked, "What's up?"

Tilly explained, "Check the news! Liddell Corporation released yesterday's interview to the public. The love story that they had fabricated has gone viral!"

Noelle unlocked her phone and was immediately greeted by news of the love story.

The public always loved romantic stories, especially so when the male lead of the story had a disability. It served to make the love story even more tragic and touching, which attracted even more attention. The news immediately went viral, and countless netizens began to discuss it.

As Noelle headed out for class, she also forwarded the viral news to Cedric. She soon received a WhatsApp message from him.

"Are you free at noon? Let's have lunch together and talk about work."

Noelle hesitated before answering him. "Can't we just meet at the office?"

"I'm too busy to go to the office. I can only stop by your campus while I pass by," Cedric replied.

Noelle understood that someone like Cedric, with his status and various responsibilities, would have a packed schedule.

After class, Grace spoke up. "Let's grab lunch at the cafeteria."

"I have something I need to do. You and Mia can go ahead without me," Noelle replied. She then stepped out of the campus to find a luxury car parked by the roadside. She hesitated but did not approach it.

Just then, she received a phone call from Cedric. "Get in."

The car window rolled down, and Noelle recognized the familiar and handsome face within. She then walked over to the car and got inside.
