No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric)

Noelle said coldly, "To be accurate, you haven't been my brother for a long time."

"Do you want to sever ties with me?" Frank said.

"You've said that so many times. Have you forgotten?" she retorted.

Frank responded uneasily, "I said that in a fit of rage. I didn't mean it."

"I thought you meant it. You've got to honor your promises."

Noelle looked at Frank and Lucas. She said, "I never say things I don't mean in a fit of rage. See you around. Oh, that's not right. I hope I never see you again."

She looked extremely serious. Although she was pale, her eyes gleamed.

She turned around and saw Cedric standing with Frank. Cedric seemed proud of her. Alfred clapped and praised her. "Said like a true queen!"

When she saw them, Noelle relaxed.

She hadn't wanted to say all this. It made her seem like she cared about the Liddells. However, she had finally had enough when Frank contacted Cedric behind her back to force him to come to the hospital.

"Noelle, don't think you're all that just because you got good grades. You think you can leave the Liddells behind? Without us, you're nothing!"

Her words angered Lucas.

He hadn't thought that Noelle cared so much about them. Why hadn't she voiced this out in the past? He thought she didn't care.

Noelle turned around and said coldly, "Without me, your team can't even get into the finals. Is that it? Without me, is the app going to cancel their collaboration with you?"

Embarrassment flashed across Luca's eyes.

He couldn't rebut her. It was the truth.

Alfred stoked the fire by saying, "Without you, Noelle's grades have improved and she's become valedictorian. She's also a famous livestreamer now. Many teams have invited her to join them. Without you, she's doing better than ever."

Cedric said icily, "Ask yourselves what you've done for her all these years."

Lucas shot back. "Of course we've done a lot for her."

However, Lucas couldn't recall anything. He could only remember Noelle trailing after him. He got used to her contributions, but forgot that these things had to go both ways.

Noelle said calmly, "In the future, stop using the excuse that blood is thicker than water. It's hilarious."

Then, she walked away.

Frank clasped a hand over his abdomen and collapsed onto the floor. He felt horrible.

Lucas and Xenia shrieked, "What's wrong, Frank?"

Noelle heard their voices and turned

around after walking into the

elevator, She saw Frank lying on the

floor looking up at her. She stared at him emotionlessly until the doors closed.

"Noelle!"

He kept mumbling Noelle's name while he squeezed his eyes shut. He finally realized that he had lost her forever.

In the past, Noelle would never have left him while he was sick. She cared greatly about him.

Frank realized that things had changed.

He was losing his sister.

Noelle walked out of the hospital and sighed.

As Alfred drove, he said, "Noelle, you should have done this a long time ago and

stopped them from walking all over you."

"You're right."

Noelle also believed that she should've made things clear with them earlier so they didn't keep thinking she was only throwing a tantrum She'd never joked about. this. She had planned her every step out of the Liddell family. Yet, they lived in their imaginations, believing that she was just holding a grudge.
