StarNovelChapter 316 Noelle applied the ointment, and Grace helped her with the patch on her back. Curious, Grace asked, "Who sent this ointment? Your boyfriend?" "No. Just a friend," Noelle replied. She glanced at the book on the table, feeling like Cedric was mocking her. She picked up her phone again and transferred smoney to him.
Cedric was puzzled and wrote, "No reward without merit." After sending the money, Noelle waited for a while, but there was no reply, and it seemed that he had not accepted the money transfer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe following day, she woke up, and the soreness in her body had doubled. But the area where she had applied the ointment felt much better.
Cedric had really guessed well. Noelle grabbed her textbooks and went downstairs with Grace, ready to attend class. But outside the dormitory building, she saw Lucas.
Lucas was tall and handsome, drawing the attention of several women. She took a glance and kept walking straight ahead, but she couldn't avoid him.
"Noelle, wait up." Noelle frowned. "Move aside. I'm running late for class." "I just want to talk for a bit. I won't take up too much of your time. I can wait until after your class." It was clear he wanted to talk.
Noelle was very impatient. "Say what you have to." Lucas looked a little awkward as he spoke in a hoarse voice. "Xenia and I caused this whole thing. It has nothing to do with Frank. He invested half of his fortune in this project, and if he loses the bid-" "Stop. You're begging for mercy, right?" He nodded cautiously. "I can make it up to you, but can you not pursue the responsibility with Frank?" Noelle sneered. "And how exactly do you wantnot to pursue it?" "Tell the organizers that Liddell Corporation didn't steal your idea, that we are family, and it was just a little joke." She laughed. "This is such an absurd request! Only someone from the Liddell family would dare to say that." "Noelle, I don't mean anything else." Grace, who had been listening, couldn't take it anymore. "Sir, have you thought about what kind of consequences Noelle would face if she said that to the organizers? Would the people in her company still trust her? "You just want to wash your hands of the whole thing and make her bear all the consequences. Is that how things work?" She was furious. The Liddell family's bias during the team election that day was obvious. She hadn't expected it to be this outrageous.
Lucas was left speechless, staring at Noelle. "I know this request puts you in a difficult position." "If you know it's difficult, you shouldn't have said it. But since you did, it shows you don't care about Noelle's struggle. You don't deserve to be her brother!"

"Have you received the demand letter?" "Demand letter? Are you really planning to sue us?" His eyes widened in disbelief.
Noelle sneered. "You should hire a good lawyer." After saying that, she walked off with Grace.
Lucas stood there, a helpless and bitter expression on his face. Hen thought she would just be angry, but he never expected her to go this far. Was she really going to sue him? Just then, Xenia rushed over, her tone anxious.
"Lucas, Noelle really sued us. The demand letter has already beenm delivered to Donovan. What do we do now? What did she say when you spoke to her?" Lucas bent his back, unable to straighten up.
His eyes were red, and he said through gritted teeth, "Xenia, this is all your fault."
