No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1431

Noelle did not expect to be put into such a strange room. She then realized why Carl was not the least bit anxious when she took his phone; he even agreed to let her take it back to her room.

It was because Carl had already set everything up by then. All he was waiting for was for Noelle to return to the room.

Noelle recalled how she slowly became increasingly drowsy at the time and immediately realized that it was no coincidence.

There had to be sedatives planted in the room. At that point, she still did not understand what Carl was trying to do.

Someone brought her food not long after she woke up. The door was not opened this time. The food was passed through the hatch on the door just like when she first arrived.

She had been having her meals in the dining room rather than being locked inside a room.

Noelle looked at the person delivering the meal and said, "I want to eat in the dining room."

The nanny replied, "I'm sorry, Ms. Liddell, but Mr. Liddell has instructed us that your meals must be taken within the room."

"Is this his punishment for me?"

The nanny replied softly, "No, Ms. Liddell. All I heard was that Mr. Liddell is currently not on the island."

Noelle recalled the news report that Carl had shown her, which mentioned that the day in question was the day of her funeral.

She reckoned that Carl rushed back to attend her funeral to keep up the act, for Cedric would have gotten suspicious otherwise. She clenched her teeth at the thought of just how despicable Carl was.

At that moment, Noelle had no idea what even to do. She considered threatening Carl with suicide, but she still had many people that she cared about. She did not want to die, and she did not want to hurt herself either.

Getting herself hurt over Carl felt extremely worthless.

In that case, Noelle had no leverage over Carl. She tried to think of all the weak spots that Carl could possess.

She recalled that he had always been someone who preferred to be alone, and that he did not have a single friend aside from his own family, let alone a romantic partner.
