The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Noelle Lockwood’s Downfall

Over? What’s over? Why is it over?!

Instantly, Old Mr. Lockwood recalled Princess Avery’s earlier threat.

’That’s right,’ he thought. ’I get it now. It must be because Noelle refuses to marry. Princess Avery is furious!’

Old Mr. Lockwood, who moments ago was pondering how to protect his own granddaughter, now stared at her with a sharp, calculating glint in his eyes.

"Noelle, Noelle, you heard him! Right now, you’re the only one who can save the Lockwood family! Just be a good girl and marry Mr. Reno first. After that... after that, Grandpa will definitely make it up to you!"

Noelle Lockwood staggered back two steps, truly panicking.

’She’d never imagined this would fall on her!’

’She had hand-picked Mr. Reno, thinking it would be Estelle Lockwood’s personal hell... But, but why was it happening like this now?’

’First, my identity was revealed. Then, the arson was exposed. Now, I have to be sacrificed for the sake of the Lockwood family. On what grounds?! Shouldn’t this be something for Estelle Lockwood to do? Estelle is the stepping stone, but I’m the one with the lucky koi fate! Why would the Lockwoods give up on me?!’

Tears streamed down Noelle Lockwood’s face as she shook her head frantically. "Grandpa, no, you can’t... I’m your real granddaughter! You can’t, you absolutely can’t..."

Austin Lockwood panicked as well. "Dad, Noelle... she’s my own daughter, after all. She grew up by my side. This... this..."

Rose Lowell shielded Noelle Lockwood, her face a mess of tears. "I won’t allow it! Caleb Lockwood, you heartless monster, how could you send Noelle to her death for money! So what if the Lockwood family goes bankrupt? So what if you Lockwoods’ company collapses? How can you sacrifice Noelle! All of you combined aren’t worth a single strand of her hair!"

Though Noelle Lockwood said nothing, she tacitly agreed, hiding in Rose Lowell’s arms and sobbing.

Old Mr. Lockwood didn’t even spare Rose Lowell a glance. He turned to Princess Avery and said fawningly, "Our Noelle, we’ll leave her in your hands."

Princess Avery gave her bodyguards a cold look. They understood, stepping forward and grabbing Noelle Lockwood by the shoulders.

"AHH!!"

"Noelle!"

There wasn’t a trace of sadness in Old Mr. Lockwood’s eyes at the thought of losing his granddaughter, only the thrill of acquiring wealth and riches. "Noelle, don’t you worry. Grandpa will be sure to remember you. Your sacrifice is very valuable!"

"No, I don’t want to! Dad, save me!"

But after a moment of consideration, Austin Lockwood still looked away.

’Didn’t Noelle Lockwood know what kind of people Old Mr. Lockwood and Austin Lockwood were? She did! She knew none of the Lockwoods were any good.’

’But back when she used Austin Lockwood to go against Estelle Lockwood, she had only felt a thrill—fools like Austin Lockwood and Old Mr. Lockwood, who saw nothing but money, had no concept of family ties.’

’She used to think, so what if Estelle Lockwood was the real heiress? As the fake heiress, she was born with a lucky koi fate and could bring the Lockwood family far more resources.’

’How could Old Mr. Lockwood and Austin Lockwood ever abandon her?’

’She could use this to bully Estelle Lockwood to her heart’s content.’

And Noelle Lockwood had done exactly that.

Because of her "lucky koi fate," the Lockwoods had practically worshipped her, while ruthlessly suppressing their own biological daughter and unhesitatingly going after Estelle Lockwood’s life.

Noelle Lockwood later learned that she was Austin Lockwood’s illegitimate daughter. When her birth mother came to find her, Noelle, despite knowing full well how vicious Austin was, still helped him "deal with" her own mother and set that fire.

’Because in Noelle Lockwood’s mind, people with no value should have every last drop of their worth squeezed out of them before being kicked to the curb.’

’Before, it had been Estelle Lockwood... Phoebe Hale... and now, it was her turn.’

’Why?! Why was it her turn?!’

"Grandpa, no! I’m a huge star! I’m a designer... I... I can make money for the Lockwood family! Don’t do this!"

But Noelle Lockwood’s tear-streaked, sobbing face failed to arouse anyone’s pity.

[So now she’s scared? Now she regrets it? When she was plotting against Estelle Lockwood, did she ever stop to think that Estelle might be scared too?]
