No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1139

Noelle looked at Laura. "Oh, I know."

"Ms. Liddell, they are your family, after all. Isn't it weird for you to be competing with them?" Laura sneered.

She was bitter. Why was Noelle winning at every turn?

Noelle was living Laura's dream life. And she even had Cedric. She had it all. Why?

Noelle gave Laura a weird smile. "Ms. Merlock, why are you so nosy? If you've got the time, why not focus on your family instead? The Merlock family is bankrupt, after all."

Noelle didn't go easy on Laura. Laura had had enough and gritted her teeth as she asked, "Aren't you to blame for that?"

Noelle scoffed. "Me? Have you forgotten, Ms. Merlock? Your mother stole that project from my parents. That was why the Merlock family lived in luxury for years."

Laura argued, "That's…"

"What? No matter what excuse you come up with, it won't change the fact that your mother is a murderer. Do you think people will pity you if you pretend like nothing ever happened?" Her words hit Laura hard.

Everyone turned to Noelle. They were surprised by how blunt she became. She seemed nice before, but now she was a completely different person.

Laura tried to retort, but just then, her phone rang. She paled at the caller ID and hurried away to answer the call. Once she left, the atmosphere at the banquet changed.

Zack was the first to speak. "Ms. Liddell, I've heard a lot about your family. The Merlocks brought it upon themselves."
