No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 998

Noelle wondered if Laura was really willing to marry Bradley. Mia shook her head. "I'm not sure about that. Perhaps the Merlocks have their own reasons."

Noelle didn't dwell on it further since it was the Merlocks' business. Now that Laura had allied herself with a powerful man, it was indeed causing troubles for Noelle's side of things. If Sean hadn't been lucky enough to survive, she would be the one with the headache now.

The next day, Noelle received a call from Carl. "Hey, are you busy?"

"No, what's up?" she asked.

"Let's have dinner together tonight. The Hitchcock family has agreed not to interfere in this matter anymore. Come over as a witness," he explained.

When Noelle heard this news, her eyes showed a hint of surprise. "The Hitchcock family actually agreed? But what about the Merlocks?"

Laura had only agreed to be with Bradley to resolve the Merlocks' problems. Moreover, Noelle recalled what Jeremy had said yesterday—had Carl made some kind of deal with the Hitchcock family?

She paused briefly. "Okay, send me the address and time."

Since this invitation had been extended, she definitely needed to go see what was happening. Yet, she couldn't help feeling that it seemed too easy—Laura had made such a huge sacrifice, and if the Hitchcock family went back on their word, it would be a devastating blow to her.

Noelle thought for a moment and decided to call Jeremy to tell him about this development. Jeremy said over the phone, "This is good news! Go check it out. If the Merlocks find out about this, they'll probably go crazy."

Noelle laughed. "They probably will."
