NovelEnglishChapter 572 Grace explained, "These were delivered by a courier, most likely from your boyfriend." Cedric had once sent gifts to Noelle in a similar fashion.
Noelle walked over and saw several luxury brands amongst the bags. One of them even contained a pair of limited-edition boxing gloves.
Had it been in the past, she would have been thrilled to receive such gifts. But now, she pushed the bags aside without even taking out any of the contents. She reckoned that they would all be returned a few days later.
Noelle freshened up and laid down on her bed. When she saw that there was an unread message on her phone, her heart started beating a little faster as she wondered who the message was from.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe calmed herself down as she reached for her phone. She saw that it was indeed a message from Cedric. "Are you still awake?" Noelle stared at the screen for a long time, but in the end, she decided not to send him a reply.
She was traumatized from being betrayed by her own family in her past life. She never expected that the man she trusted wholeheartedly now was actually also deceiving her all along and wondered who else was there that she could trust.
The next morning, the first thing Noelle did after waking up was check her phone. She did not reply to Cedric's message last night, and he had also stopped sending any more messages to her.
Just then, a news notification popped up on her screen. "Heir of the Greene family will soon tie the knot! The wedding date will be announced soon!" She felt suffocated when she saw the headline, her eyes dry with unshed tears. Noelle wondered why Cedric still clooking for her when he was already engaged and if he planned to keep the truth from her and let her remain as a mere mistress forever.
"Noelle, why are you crying?" Grace grabbed a piece of tissue and handed it to Noelle.
Noelle wiped her tears and explained, "What if I say that I've been made to be the mistress?" "What?! You mean that he already has a girlfriend?" Grace asked.
Noelle forced herself to smile. "A fiance, to be precise. They're getting married soon." "This is ridiculous! You should expose him!" Grace replied.
Noelle turned off her phone and replied, "He's not just any ordinary person. It won't make much of a difference, even if I exposed him. People will just calla gold-digger." "You can't let him off that easily, Noelle. If he made you the mistress, then you should turn the tables on him as well." Noelle looked at Grace and asked, "But how?" Grace explained, "From my decade-long experience of reading , I can tell you that men like your boyfriend enjoy the thrill of keeping his relationship with you a secret. It gives them a sense of superiority.
"But if you dump him first and then act like you never cared about him, he'll end up being the one to break down instead of you." Noelle pursed her lips and replied, "Will that really work?" "Do you want him to just brush you off with a half-hearted apology before proceeding to marry his fiance anyway? Are you really just going to let him hurt you like this?" Noelle frowned and remained silent.
Just then, Mia poked her head out and said, "I can help you." There was nothing that the Cantrell family could not bring to light.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrace nodded in agreement. "Oh, yes! Mia's a journalism major. She can write up the perfect exposé and bring that shameless bastard into the spotlight!" Noelle lowered her gaze and said, "Not yet, for now." Mia insisted, "I really can do it. Trust me, this is my area of expertise."
She had owed Noelle a favor, and she was eager to repay it. Noelle knew knew that the Cantrells were an influential family, but they were still hardly able to stand up against the Greene family. She was worried that she would end up dragging Mia and her family into trouble
as well. Noelle calmed herself down a little and said, "I'll ask you again if really need the help." She needed to think about everything thoroughly.
After finishing her morning classes, Noelle went to the esports team's training base as usual Raymond was also at the base, so the two of them teamed up to run sdungeons together. Suddenly, she saw a notification showing that one of her in-gfriends had logged in. Then, she noticed that Cedric was now online.
[Your friend has sent a request to join your party.] Noelle's eyelids twitched as she read the new notification.
