No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric)

Everyone followed Jessica's lead and began to complain. Jessica immediately felt supported, and her confidence grew.

Morgan stood at the front, glancing around the classroom. "Students, regarding the issue with the campus forum, we've reached a conclusion."

"Mr. Farrell, please announce the result. We can't wait any longer."

"After the school's investigation, we found out that the rumors on the forum about Noelle being a sugar baby are false. The student who posted that thread will also face disciplinary action from the school."

Jessica was reluctant to accept the announcement. "Mr. Farrell, that is impossible! Noelle is an orphan; both of her parents are dead.

"How could she possibly afford all those luxury brands? Something doesn't add up!"

"Although Noelle is an orphan, she has an older brother. We've verified this," Morgan replied. "Jessica, do you have any objections to the school's decision?"

Jessica was immediately silenced. "I just find it unbelievable! And what about the locked phones?"

"Since the content of the forum post was false, you all should apologize to Noelle."

The classroom erupted into chaos after Morgan finished speaking.

He cast a complicated look at Noelle. He hadn't expected her to be so discreet—a wealthy young lady pretending to be an orphan. However, what was most surprising was how capable she was.

Morgan was still somewhat embarrassed when he left the classroom, as he had also misunderstood Noelle. Soon after, the school issued an official statement about the forum rumors.

Jessica was furious. How could Noelle just get away with this?

On the other hand, Noelle's mood was lifted after the result. It seemed that justice had prevailed.

After class, Noelle went straight to the gaming team's training base. She had other matters to take care of besides the team's practice.

When Noelle entered the training base, everyone had already gathered. Her arrival immediately silenced the room.

After all, Noelle had become a well-known figure at school. She had single- handedly taken on the business school and the entire institution!

Rumors even circulated that the school couldn't crack the code Noelle wrote, and now, the students whose phones had been locked could only post apologies to get their access back.

Samuel looked at her in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

He had expected Noelle to lay low after causing such a stir.

"Can't I come? I'm a reserve player, after all," Noelle replied.

"Of course, you can. But I wouldn't recommend it right now since many people are still upset with you for locking their phones!"

Noelle sneered. "So, they spread rumors and made mistakes, and now they can't pay the price?" What kind of logic was that?

"I didn't mean it like that. Since you want to join the training, that's fine. We'll do a team-based PvP match. The losing team might not be able to stay as reserve players."noveldrama

Samuel made it clear, considering how many people Noelle had offended.

Noelle agreed without hesitation. "Sure." She went to the restroom, and when she came out, she ran into Samuel.

"Noelle, don't take what I said earlier to heart. The sponsorship for the team mainly comes from the business school, and we can't afford to offend our benefactors."

Noelle replied calmly, "I understand."

"I'm glad you understand. Actually, I think you're pretty great and very talented. But it might be a bit difficult for you to become a regular member of the team. Still, it's not impossible. I'll fight for you!" As Samuel spoke, he placed his hand on Noelle's shoulder.

Noelle immediately dodged away and looked at him warily.

"Noelle, I actually like you a lot. How about you become my girlfriend?" Samuel said, beginning to make advances.

Noelle raised her hand and slapped him. "Get your filthy hands off me!"

"Noelle, don't be so ungrateful. I can kick you out today with just one word."
