StarNovelChapter 452 Over the years, Noelle had learned one undeniable truth-to show kindness to the Liddells was to be cruel to herself.
Standing alone in the office, Blake furiously kicked the table. "You're forcing my hand, Noelle! I'm not gonna give you a way out, either!" In the hall, Noelle was busy practicing PK-ranked matches with her team members, so she didn't notice when Blake left. After training, she received a text from Cedric.

She subconsciously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and got into the car.
"Here. Take this." Cedric handed her a bouquet of fresh flowers, which completely surprised her.
She took them over. "Thank you." "Why are you so surprised?" Noelle glanced at the flowers in her arms. "It just feels unreal. You don't seem like the type to give flowers." "Anyone can give flowers... That is unless they pretend they don't know how to." As Cedric drove, he asked, "Did Blake's fans bother you?" "Yeah. They're mostly trying to guilt-tripand tried every trick, but I won't give in." At least not now. If Blake still couldn't take down Xenia, Noelle might have to return to the Liddells and slowly expose the latter's facade for who she truly was.
She continued, "Aren't they always talking about how family bonds are stronger than anything? I'd love to see if they'll sacrifice for each other or turn on one another the moment their interests are threatened." Upon seeing that Noelle's mood wasn't affected, Cedric felt a little more at ease.
Then, Noelle suddenly asked, "Oh, right. Magnus went viral today. Did you see it?" Cedric's hand on the steering wheel stiffened slightly. "Oh?" "Yeah. Apparently, he publicly clarified that his brother's engagement with Ms. Merlock was just a rumor. Plus, he mentioned his brother has a crush." Cedric's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "And what do you think about that?" "I can't be sure. Though Magnus clarified, shouldn't the person involved do that? But I can't tell if that's usually the case for wealthy families.

Noelle turned to look at him. "You sound so sure... Like you're the heir of the Greene family." Cedric focused on the road ahead as words lingered at the tip of his tongue. "Well, Noelle, actually-" Suddenly, a car cut in front of them and forced Cedric to slam the brakes hard. They'd nearly crashed. The startled Noelle rolled down the window and shouted, "Do you even know how to drive? Did you buy your license? Cedric watched her lash out and hesitated In the end, he didn't continue what he was about to say. They drove to an open area, where several helicopters were parked on the grass.
Cedric got out of the car and glanced at her. "Let's go."
"Where are we going? Are we taking a helicopter?" Noelle turned to look at him suspiciously. "Whose idea was En this? Alfred's?" Cedric's expression stiffened slightly. "You guessed it."
She knew it. There was no way Cedric would cup with such an e idea on his own. As they walked to the helicopter, Noelle asked, "Is this rented or bought?" "Bought." Since Cedric was always busy with work, using a helicopter saved him a lot of time.
Noelle nodded. She figured it was
probably Alfred's purchase, and Cedric had just borrowed it, so she didn't ask any further. Just as she was about to board the helicopter, a Oman's anxious voice called out from behind. "Ced, it's me—" When Cedric turned around and saw Laura rushing toward them, his expression changed instantly.
