No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1137

As soon as Noelle heard the comment, she knew the man was trying to stir up trouble. It was expected. Any man showing up with Laura was likely on her side.

The room fell silent after the remark. Many people were aware of the situation and had their doubts, but no one dared ask it out loud, especially with Cedric next to Noelle. Anyone who asked would cross the Greene family.

But now that Laura was here, people began to look on curiously. After all, the Merlock family was now bankrupt, and Ruth was in prison. Laura and Noelle were enemies now.

Noelle looked calmly at the man. "And you are?"

Laura smiled as she introduced him. "This is Mr. Rhode's son… From Star Tech."

Noelle turned to Cedric. "Why haven't I heard of that company before? What do they do?"

The man's expression turned ugly. Was she mocking them?

Cedric understood what Noelle was doing and played along. "I have never heard of them either. They are probably just some company."

Laura rushed to explain, "Star Tech released a mobile game. You've probably heard of it or played it."

Noelle gasped. "Oh, that mobile game."

The man looked smug. "Our game's lead engineer has years of experience, both in age and achievements.

"Only someone like that is fit for the job. A woman like you, who got in through connections, does not qualify at all."

Cedric's face fell. Noelle gently held his hand and smiled at the man. "Didn't your company buy the source code off the black market?"
