No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1429

Frank nodded and said, "I did have some strange dreams. They showed me events that were similar to what we went through, but the outcome played out very differently."

Carl replied, "Things differed from the dreams from when Noelle was in her final year of high school. Noelle had already been acting differently since the banquet where we officially adopted Xenia into our family. She must've been reborn at around that time."

He then turned to Blake and continued, "Think about it. Noelle changed from that point onward. Her personality changed significantly, and she became increasingly uncontrollable. She eventually cut ties with all of us after that."

Blake fell silent for a long while. He also realized that that was when everything began to fall apart for the Liddells.

Carl continued, "In our previous life, we continued to treat Noelle the way we've been treating her. She neglected her studies just to get first place in esports tournaments to please Lucas, only for Lucas to let Xenia receive the award in her place."

Lucas replied, "It's no wonder she refused me so firmly back then. My team has not won anything since, with Xenia dragging us down.

"I only realized later on that it had always been Noelle who carried my team in the tournaments. Xenia had never contributed a thing."

That realization had only come much later.

Carl looked at Blake and continued, "Noelle wrote a lot of the scripts for your company, didn't she? However, whenever you won awards for it, you would only bring Xenia to the parties and claim that Xenia was the author instead.

"Noelle gave you everything she had, but you ignored her. You would even hit at the drop of a hat."

Blake took several steps back. "That's impossible."

Carl pressed on further. "Tell me, who's the author behind the scripts that made you famous in the first place?"

"It was Noelle."

"And weren't you always biased toward Xenia at the start? Noelle had to fight back with everything she had, which led to you being injured and disfigured, remember?"

Blake was cornered entirely, as everything Carl said was true. He really did not treat Noelle well at all back then.

Blake gave a bitter laugh and replied, "It's genuinely terrifying now that I think about it. Just how could we treat our sister so horribly while treating someone adopted so much better? It's like we were being put under some kind of spell."
