No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 235

When Noelle saw the photo, she couldn't help but laugh. She noticed the watermark on it—it was clearly from the school's forum.

Opening the forum, she immediately found posts about herself.

"Freshman pretends to detest the rich but secretly hooks up with an old wealthy man, staying out all night!"

Noelle scanned the content, scoffing. The post accused her of looking down on the rich scions in the business school while secretly cozying up to older men at bars, which explained why she hadn't returned to her dorm all night.

Some users were stirring the pot:

"I went to high school with Noelle. She's always been like this, but the teachers turned a blind eye because she had good grades. I can't believe she hasn't changed."

"Yeah! I heard she hooked up with the school doctor in high school. Now that she's at Yasnia University, surrounded by the rich and wealthy, she ditched the doctor for an old rich man."

"I saw it with my own eyes this morning—she got out of that old man's car. He's so hideous and old! How desperate is Noelle Liddell to stoop that low for money!"

Noelle smirked at the comments, knowing who the person claiming to be her high school classmate was—it was Xenia.

It seemed like Xenia was having fun spreading rumors online. But Noelle wasn't too worried; she could easily track down these trolls.

Suddenly, the door slammed open with a loud bang. Noelle looked up and saw Samantha walking in with Xenia, accompanied by a group of male lackeys.

The classroom immediately fell silent. Everyone kept their heads down, not wanting to cross these wealthy ladies from the business school.

When Samantha spotted Noelle, she gritted her teeth and said, "Finally showed up, huh? Noelle Liddell. I didn't think you'd manage to escape last night."

After Cedric left, Samantha had gone to look for Noelle. But not only had she failed to find Noelle, she couldn't even locate her own bodyguards.

She later found out that her bodyguards had disturbed Cedric while searching for Noelle, which led to them being dealt with. All of them had been sent away. This situation had caught her family's attention, and her father scolded her that morning.

Samantha was fuming, and she wanted nothing more than to tear into Noelle the moment she saw her.
