Noelle felt Cedric treated her differently from others. She had once misunderstood that he might like her, too, since he was always so kind. In the end, she realized it was just her overthinking.


    Cedric felt like something was stuck in his throat. After a long pause, he finally said, "It''s not impossible."


    Noelle''s heart skipped a beat. What did he mean by that?


    Cedric continued, "Since you''ve cut ties with your brother, you can think of me as your family from now on."


    "I don''t need another brother," Noelle replied, standing up. "I''m full. I''ll go pack my things."


    She left with a hint of disappointment.


    Cedric watched Noelle''s back with aplicated look in his eyes. Alfred walked in and asked, "Done talking? Are you ready to let go this time?"


    Cedric remained silent. He tipped back his ss of red wine, finishing it in one go. Noelle''s feelings were clear to him, but he felt he wasn''t deserving.


    The next day, Noelle went straight to the airport. She turned to look at Cedric, then walked up and hugged him. "I''m leaving. Thank you for being here for me. I will never forget you."


    Cedric stiffened for a moment before patting her back. "Contact me if you need anything. I''ll always be here."


    Noelle reluctantly let go, feeling a little embarrassed.


    Alfred stepped in. "I want a hug, too."


    Cedric blocked Alfred with a serious expression. "There''s no time. Let''s get her to the gate."


    "Don''t worry. I''ll take care of Nelly," Alfred reassured him.


    Noelle gave Cedric onest nce, then walked away with her suitcase.


    Two hourster, their nended at Yasnia Airport. Noelle stepped out, feeling a little nervous. "I wonder if ourpany''s project will stand out at this event," she said.


    "Have some confidence," Alfred said with a grin.


    He had to admit that Noelle had real talent. At first, he thought Cedric was simply paving the way for her but it turned out her abilities were entirely her own. The two of them arrived at the investment summit.


    Noelle carried her materials and projects to the disy area. Alfred wore a


    baseball cap to cover his face and followed Noelle inside.


    He quickly scanned the area and saw a familiar face. "I''ll head to the restroom. Nelly, you can manage on your own for a bit."


    Noelle nodded. After arranging her


    materials and sitting down, she looked up and saw Frank walking toward her. She immediately


    lowered her head, wondering


    l.ne


    how


    the Liddells could be here. It was


    truly a stroke of bad luck.


    Frank noticed her and walked over. "Noelle, I didn''t expect to see you here!"


    Lucas frowned and scrutinized Noelle. "Noelle, why are you wearing Maple Enterprise''s clothes? Don''t you know theirpany is in directpetition with Frank?"


    Hearing that, Noelle chuckled coldly. She raised her gaze and coldly said, "I know."


    "Why are you working part-time at


    Maple Enterprise? If you need


    money, just tell us. Even though Donovan cut off your card, Frank


    and I would never let you go without pocket money," Lucas added


    He was upset. After all, Noelle was part of the Liddell family. Why would she work for theirpetitor?


    Noelle stood up. "I have no rtionship with the Liddell family anymore. Where I work has nothing to do with you."


    Lucas angrily continued, "Noelle, even if you dislike Donovan, you can''t treat Frank like this."
