No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1101

After Rachel spoke, she watched as Ashton's expression shifted with a mixture of emotions. Then, she continued, "If you don't trust me, just check the latest entertainment news. Search for Mr. Cedric Greene.

"They've met each other's parents. That's what it means to be well-matched."

The implication couldn't be clearer—Ashton was getting a little too carried away thinking he'd be worthy of Noelle.

Seeing his expression, Rachel finally felt satisfied. Someone like Noelle, who had a powerful, elite boyfriend, would never look twice at some mediocre guy like Ashton.

…

After Noelle and Cedric left, she thought back to what Rachel had said earlier and frowned. Cedric noticed and asked, "What's wrong?"

Noelle told him everything, and he calmly replied, "That's easy. I'll send someone over to teach them a lesson or two."

"What are you planning? If you bankrupt the factory, Rachel might end up in trouble, too. They're family, after all, and going too far might hurt her."

That was exactly why Rachel had refused her help in the first place.

Cedric reached out and gently patted her head. "Do I look that reckless to you? I'll just have someone issue a polite warning so they'll know not to overstep."

An icy glint flashed in his eyes. Ashton thought he could win Noelle over, but was he aware of who he was going up against?

Of course, none of that could be said aloud in front of Noelle. All it would take was one call, and someone would quietly take care of the situation.

Cedric turned back to Noelle and asked, "Would you like to stay at the hotel tonight?"

She met his deep, unreadable eyes, and her face warmed instantly. Then, she bit her lip and murmured, "The apartment we used to stay at… Was it yours?"

Now that they were back, she found herself wanting to revisit that place. Cedric nodded.

"Yeah, it's Alfred's. But no one has stayed in it for quite some time, so I'll have someone clean it up."

"Sounds good."

Noelle did not intend to do it herself. She'd rather rest than tidy up.
