No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 810

It seemed like the Merlock family was about to make a move. Noelle went to class, and news about Ruth's kidnapping exploded online, filled with detailed accounts. There were rumors that the kidnappers had taken indecent pictures of Ruth and blackmailed the Merlocks.

Laura was the top socialite in Yasnia. Her mom, Ruth, was involved in such a scandal, so it naturally gathered massive attention.

"You seem to be in a great mood. Guess you wrapped up whatever's been keeping you busy?"

"Yeah. I'm feeling good." Noelle went on to discuss the final match with the team and offered a few tactical suggestions.
