Chapter 97 Rachel's revelation about Noelle's identity hit everyone like a bombshell.
Lucas' mind went blank as soon as he heard the statement. His legs felt weak, and for a moment, he seemed unable to stand properly.
He stared at Noelle in shock and anger. He couldn't believe that she was really the streamer SweetNelly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt turned out that Noelle had been watching the whole thing like a joke from the beginning, including that day when he mentioned that he had recruited a talented gunner. He deduced that Noelle must have known who he was referring to, but she chose not to say a single thing.
The corner of Lucas' eyes reddened as he stared at Noelle. "You... Why did you lie to me?" He wondered why she hid her identity as SweetNelly from him and why she hadn't told him about it earlier. Lucas was filled with anger and couldn't understand why Noelle did that. Didn't she like him the best among all her brothers in the past? Unlike Lucas' emotional outburst, Noelle's expression was calm and indifferent. "I never lied to you." "Then why didn't you tellyou were the streamer?" "Because it wasn't necessary." Noelle's clear gaze and cold demeanor sent chills down Lucas' spine.
He couldn't believe what she had just said. Even though he and Noelle argued, he still believed that they were a family and that everything would be resolved as tpassed.
It had always been like that since they were young. But why was it different this time? Noelle had known that the tournament meant a lot to him, so why did she do that? Just then, Frank grabbed Lucas. "Calm down, Lucas." "I can't calm! How could I possibly calm down right now?" Lucas turned to Frank, his eyes slightly red. "Frank, I..." His chest felt heavy.
Frank saw his brother's disappointed look but didn't know what to say. He had reminded him before that Noelle had changed, but the latter didn't take it seriously. The reporters closed in on Noelle.
"Ms. Liddell, why did you keep your identity as the streamer a secret? Is there sdeeper reason?" "Ms. Liddell, is it true that you've fallen out with your family?" It was a newsworthy headline that would get everyone's attention-SweetNelly, who could perform the 12-hit combo, was actually Noelle Liddell.
With her talent, she unexpectedly signed with Firestorm instead of staying with her family's team. There had to be more to the story.
Noelle looked at the reporters, her tone as distant as ever. "Yes. There have been disagreements, so I've decided to support myself."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe didn't feel the need to hide those things anymore. She thought it was the the public know to avoid the Liddell family bothering her in the future.
Frank smiled bitterly when he heard Noelle's reply. It was just as he had guessed. Noelle had been hurt so N badly that she didn't want to be associated with her brothers anymore. Lucas couldn't accept it and questioned her, "Noelle, are you really going to throw the whole family away over spetty arguments? Is that really necessary?" Was such petty arguments between a family so serious? He had always thought that Noelle was just throwing a tantrum. He hadn't realized how serious she was.
Lucas felt slightly panicked.
Noelle stared at him, unblinking. She didn't even feel like answering him. It turned out that Lucas considered all the hurt she endured to be petty arguments.
She finally spoke. "If you think so, then you can treat this as another 'petty argument'. Since you're such a forgiving person, liny sure you won't hold it against me." The mockery in her tone was sharp enough to hurt. Lucas' words choked in his throat. He wanted to say that he hadn't meant it like that, but for a moment, he couldn't find the words to explain himself.
