NovelsFreeChapter 551 Noelle was baffled by the sudden question and smiled. "Ms. Merlock, I know exactly what kind of person my boyfriend is." She didn't need anyone else judging Cedric's character. Laura's words lingered at the tip of her tongue. She wanted to tell Noelle the truth, but in the end, she held back.
If she was going to reveal Cedric's real identity, it couldn't be done so casually. Otherwise, that'd be too easy for Noelle.
Any lady would be overjoyed to learn that her boyfriend was the heir to the Greene family. Once Noelle knew, she'd never let go. That wasn't what Laura wanted.
Noelle noticed the flicker of emotion on Laura's face and asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?" "Nothing. I was just being nosy." A hint of malice flashed in Laura's eyes. Since the foundation incident didn't cause Noelle any trouble, she needed to find another way.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe two of them exited the elevator together, only to realize they were heading in the sdirection. In the end, they both stopped in front of the sprivate room.
Laura looked at Noelle in surprise. "You're coming here, too?" "Yes. What a coincidence. Are you here to meet Mrs. Cantrell as well?" "That's right." Laura pushed the door and walked in.
Noelle followed behind her and immediately spotted Donovan and a well-dressed woman seated at the head of the table. It was, without a doubt, Salena.
As for Wyatt and Xenia, they were probably still stopped at the entrance.
Laura strode up to Salena's side and began chatting as if they were old acquaintances while Noelle remained where she was. It was best to keep her distance before figuring out what Salena's intentions were.
Donovan walked over to Noelle and lowered his voice. "Go over and say hello." Noelle replied, "What exactly does Mrs. Cantrell want?" "Nothing much. She just wants to meet you. Go offer a toast. Look at how Ms. Merlock is handling things." Donovan appeared fairly disappointed in Noelle as he continued, "You act all tough at hand shrink back when you're outside?" Noelle was growing impatient. Donovan's eager-to-please attitude made her uncomfortable.
She shot him a cold, mocking gaze, and he immediately realized the implication behind that look. His expression darkened, and he said nothing more.
Salena finally turned to Noelle. "Is this Ms. Liddell? I've heard a lot about you." Noelle raised her glass with a slight smile. "Hello, Mrs. Cantrell." "I didn't realize you and Alfred were so close. He's never mentioned you before." Just earlier, Alfred had ĕ called her about the foundation and asked her to lend Noelle a hand and stay out of the Liddell family's affairs.
Alfred wasn't the type to ask for favors, and Salena wondered if he'd taken a liking to Noelle.
Noelle calmly replied, "Mr. Parham and I are just friends." That was all she said and nothing else. She didn't want to drag Cedric into this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSalena wasn't pleased. She'd asked, yet Noelle barely answered.
Sensing the shift in the atmosphere, Laura tried to ease the tension and spoke up, "Mrs. Cantrell, Ms. Liddell has a straightforward personality. 日 Even Mrs. Greene said so." "Mrs. Greene knows Ms. Liddell?" "She does. Mrs Greene even vouched for Ms. Liddell to get a club membership. She's quite fond of Ms. Liddell.
"But Ms. Liddell was deceived by a supplier at the club and removed m from Hopeful Hearts Foundation.
Now that the supplier scandal has blown up, we realized she was actually innocent." After hearing Laura's words, Salena was surprised that Noelle had Emma speaking on her behalf. She decided to drop the matter out of respect for the latter.
Then, she turned to Donovan. "Your sister is quite capable, and she has ΟΠ so many people willing to stand up for her. Why did you have to go through all this trouble just to inviteto dinner?" Donovan's expression stiffened awkwardly. "My sister is young and inexperienced, Mrs. Cantrell. I just..."
