Alina pressed her lips together. “Mom, I just closed a very big deal. It should bring the Guzman Group hundreds of millions in revenue”
“Is that so?” Mary replied flatly. “I know. You can go out now.”
The light in Alina’s eyes slowly faded.
She set the food down and walked out. In the end, she swallowed the words, “Mom, today is also my birthday.”
She was five years older than Charlotte, but they shared the same birthday. Ever since Charlotte went missing, Alina had not celebrated her own birthday even once.
Her eyes grew dim. She picked up her phone and called her subordinate. “Has Mr. Roman returned from Riverdale?”
That night, Noelle happily posted a story in her room and added a caption. “Happy birthday to me!”
She rarely posted stories. As soon as she did, it got hundreds of likes.
Serena and the others quickly left comments.
Serena typed. [Wow, this is huge! But who is this man? He looks more and more familiar… Damn! It’s Sebastian and Lucas! Noelle, how did you pull this off? Why would they be the ones celebrating your birthday?]
Noelle felt guilty and casually made up an excuse to brush it off.
Serena replied. [Really? Why does it feel a bit strange? Sebastian came just to celebrate your birthday? I feel like he has another motive. No, maybe I’m overthinking it. You’re not his type anyway.]
Serena added, clearly shocked, [I’m super busy right now. I’ll talk to you later! Did you get my gift? Don’t forget to leave a good review!]
Mason also commented. [Happy birthday, Noelle. Do you like the gift I gave you?]
Harlan’s comment followed, with a rose emoji. [Boss, happy birthday.]
Noelle curved her lips into a smile. She had already received their gifts. Serena and Mason had been with her through many things. so their gifts suited her perfectly. She liked them very much.
There were also comments from Yvette and Madeline.
Yvette wrote. [Happy birthday, Dr. Kain.]
Madeline asked. [Noelle, why didn’t you tell me it was your birthday today? What a coincidence! Alina’s birthday is today too. Yvette went to celebrate with her!]
Same birthday?
Noelle was surprised. That really was quite a coincidence.

The next day, Noelle went to school.
Oswald said he had found some very useful study materials for her and asked her to pick them up. He also reminded her that the SAT was only two months away and told her to prepare seriously.
Noelle did not really need the materials, but she knew it was not easy for Oswald to find them, so she still went.
Oswald smiled as he handed the materials to her. “Noelle, how have you been lately? Is the workload getting to you? I see dark circles under your eyes. Don’t overwork yourself.”
Noelle looked at him calmly. “Oh, that’s from staying up late reading novels.”
Oswald was speechless.
Noelle smiled slightly. “Don’t worry. The top scorer of this SAT will definitely come from your school. I’ll make you proud.”
After leaving Oswald’s office, Noelle walked straight out of the school.
“Noelle!”
A sharp voice suddenly rang out.
When Noelle looked over, she saw Viola walking toward her with a few friends.
They were wearing Evergreen High School uniforms. Their appearance at Riverdale Tech School immediately drew many stares.
“Viola, why are you coming to a place like this?” one girl said with disdain. “We’re top students from Evergreen High School. I already feel uncomfortable just being here. Let’s go back and prepare for the SAT.”
