No longer a pushover




Chapter 563

The smile on Noelle's face turned cold after hearing Wyatt's words. So now, he was greedy, huh?

She sarcastically announced, "Mom and Dad left the room for me. You have no right to make me move."

"Your room is the biggest, so why shouldn't you move? After Xenia and I get married, we need the biggest room. You can just stay in Xenia's small room."

Wyatt had noticed earlier that Noelle had spoken up for him. He took it as a sign that she still cared and feared that he'd ignore her, so now, he felt justified in making demands.

Noelle's lips curled with sarcasm. "Wyatt, are you sure you wanna stay in my room? Let me tell you a little story about something that happened there just a few days ago..."

Xenia's face paled at her words. She quickly turned to Wyatt. "I suddenly feel a little unwell."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know... My chest just feels a little tight. Can you check for me?"

Wyatt blushed. "I'll call the family doctor for you."

As he held onto Xenia in his arms, he turned to Noelle and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Call the doctor!"

Noelle unhurriedly enjoyed her dessert and didn't bother getting up. Lucas sneered. "Xenia has always loved faking illnesses. Calling a doctor won't help."

"You two are unbelievable! Is this how you treat Xenia when I'm not around? She's going to be your future sister-in-law!"

Wyatt ended up getting the butler to call the family doctor instead.

Noelle gave Xenia a meaningful look, while the latter got so scared that she dared not even meet Noelle's eyes. She seemed terrified of that video of her and Gordon in the bedroom getting out.

Lucas looked at Noelle and hesitantly asked, "Why don't you just expose Xenia for scheming against you and ending up with Gordon herself? That way, Wyatt would dump her."

"Don't you think this sounds more interesting? If you want to do it, go ahead. I'm not stopping you."

Now was not the right time for the video to come in handy. Noelle needed a plan that would lead her straight to Sean. The clue from the foundation had gone cold, so she had to find another way.

After Noelle left, Lucas decided against telling Wyatt anything. He figured maybe Noelle was holding back because she didn't want to sadden Wyatt.

Did this mean she still cared about the Liddells? As Lucas thought about the mistakes he'd made in the past, he felt increasingly guilty.

Back in her bedroom, Noelle grabbed her phone and started texting Cedric about everything that'd happened at the Liddell residence, but he didn't reply.

As she thought about the day's events, she recalled that she had a video of Xenia and Gordon in bed. To Xenia, that video was as deadly as a blade hanging over her head, one that was ready to fall at any moment.

Aside from dealing with the

foundation, Noelle remembered that

Wyatt had been involved in the Al

project in her past life. It was a

project focusing on developing

smart prosthetic limbs.

The project had originally been her idea and research for Wyatt. But later, it

became a huge success and reaped high sales.

If Wyatt wanted to marry Xenia, he'd definitely want to upgrade to a more advanced and functional prosthetic

limb. That would make him seem

more like a normal person. The

Noelle thought she could start with the Al project. Once she made up her mind,

she glanced at the time.

Cedric still hadn't responded. What was he doing?

She couldn't resist calling him. It took

a while for the call to finally be m answered, but the voice on the other end belonged to a woman. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read

Noelle's breath hitched. The voice sounded familiar. She called out in disbelief,

"Ms. Merlock?"

"I know you have a lot of questions, Ms. Liddell, but now isn't the time to

talk. Meet me tomorrow morning at the coffee shop across from your school.

We'll talk face-to-face."

"Why do you have Cedric's phone? You-"

Her mind was in chaos. Why would Laura have Cedric's phone at this hour?

Were they together?

She anxiously scrolled through her chat history with Cedric. Everything seemed perfectly normal.
