StarNovelChapter 450 Magnus outright denied the rumors in his interview. "Cedric and Ms. Merlock never had any kind of relationship, let alone an engagement. That was all fabricated by the media. Cedric is already in a stable relationship with someone he likes." The statement immediately went viral. Noelle glanced at the news-so it was true that Cedric had nothing to do with Laura.
Samantha had been running her mouth for weeks, bragging that Laura was about to get engaged to the Greene family's golden boy. Now, she would have to find another way to show off.
After lingering in the classroom for a while, Noelle and Grace finally left when most of the students had cleared out. As they walked outside, they spotted Samantha on a phone call, her face twisted in frustration.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Tell those reporters to shut the hell up! Laura and the Greene family are already discussing their engagement- Magnus is just talking nonsense!" She looked livid. After all, Magnus's statement had made her a laughingstock among her friends.
When Noelle walked past, Samantha quickly lowered her phone and forced a smirk. "Noelle, I bet you're laughing atright now. But lettell you-Magnus is full of shit. The Greene family will be announcing Laura's engagement soon." Noelle's tone was indifferent. "Then congratulations in advance." Samantha scoffed. "At least you know your place. Laura is Yasnia's top socialite- she grew up alongside Cedric. They were practically made for each other." Samantha's words dripped with arrogance, as if she were trying to convince herself more than anyone else. Noelle did not bother responding and simply walked away.
Grace leaned in and whispered, "I heard Samantha is off the hook. The bullying case was dropped." "How? Wasn't there solid evidence?" "There was, but rumor has it the Greene family stepped in. In the end, another student took the fall for her. Samantha even bragged about it in class." Noelle recalled the bullying videos she had seen on Samantha's phone. Those girls had been tormented so brutally, and yet the real mastermind got away scot- free.
Her mind drifted back to what Donovan had told her-that the car that ran the red light years ago belonged to the Merlocks, and someone inside had fled the scene.
That meant the driver had likely been a scapegoat, and the real culprit had never been caught.
And now, the Liddells' driver was also suspicious. Everything was tangled together, and Noelle's mind buzzed with questions.
She wondered what the hell had really happened back then and if Sean could be connected to the Merlocks. Grace snapped Noelle out of her thoughts. "Your phone's been ringing nonstop." Noelle glanced at the screen and saw Cedric's name. A small smile formed on her lips as she answered. "Hey." "Class over? I'm coming to pick you up." She suddenly remembered Cedric, had mentioned taking her somewhere after she was vel discharged, and a strange sense of anticipation bubbled up inside her.
Pressing her lips together, she replied, "Okay, but I need to stop by the base first to handle steam matters before I leave." "Alright. I'll clater." After setting a twith Cedric, Noelle noticed Grace staring at her. "Why are you looking atlike that?" Grace smirked. "That your boyfriend? You were grinning the whole time." Noelle cleared her throat. "Something like that." When they arrived at the training base, Noelle did not waste any tand got down to business.

A senior team member approached Noelle, glancing toward the upstairs office. "Noelle, someone's here for En you."
Frowning, Noelle headed upstairs and saw several bodyguards standing outside the office shem pushed the door open and saw Blake Sitting inside. He was wearing a cap, sunglasses, and a mask, covering almost his entire face. Her tone was cold as she questioned, "What are you doing here? I already said everything I needed over the phone." Blake stood up. Instead of answering, he pulled off his
sunglasses, revealing tired, hollow eyes, Then, he removed his mask, revealing the grotesque, deep-red ΕΠ scars on his face.
