No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1227

Noelle was shocked. "Ms. Sterling fought with Mrs. Cantrell? So it's turned into a dog-eat-dog situation, huh? Good for them, I guess."

Noelle's disgust for Ivy reached never-before-seen heights ever since she learned about Ivy's true identity. She noticed Cedric's expression and asked, "Did anything else happen?"

Cedric replied, "I heard that Ms. Sterling was injured while trying to protect Mia from Mrs. Cantrell."

Noelle's expression shifted in an instant. "Let's go to the hospital."

She turned her head to the side and continued, "Is Mia okay? How did the two of them even get close to Mia in the first place?"

Her expression darkened as she could only wonder how two such dangerous people managed to get near Mia.

Cedric took Noelle's hand and replied, "We'll know when we get to the hospital. Don't worry, everyone's there."

Noelle was visibly upset. "How could this even happen if everyone's there?"

Their car soon arrived at the hospital. The situation was still rather chaotic when Noelle rushed inside the room.

Salena and some other Cantrell family members were making a scene while Eason was crying right outside the hospital room.

Noelle walked over and looked at Salena without saying anything. Her cold and threatening glare caused Salena's voice to gradually quiet down.

Salena wiped her tears and said, "Noelle, all of this happened because of Ivy!"

Noelle sneered and replied, "Is that so?"

Salena explained, "I went to check on Mia out of kindness, and Ivy suddenly jumped onto me, spouting all sorts of sarcastic remarks.

"She's nothing more than a mistress who slept her way into the family! How dare she accuse me of trying to take Mia's inheritance for myself? She's clearly the greedy one here!"

The more she talked, the angrier she became. "What angered me even more is the fact that Mia actually took Ivy's side! I'm definitely going to expose Ivy today.

"She may have put on a performance for many, many years, but did she really think that no one would ever find out about who she really is?!"

Noelle smiled as she realized why Salena had been fanning the flames all along. Salena had wanted Noelle to be the one to do the dirty work.

Noelle stared at Salena and said, "Do you have any proof to back up what you said? The person who's obviously going after Mia's inheritance is you."

"Hah! I had thought that you would be different from the rest of them, Noelle. I had thought that you would be able to see through that bitch's innocent act!

"But it turns out that you're just like them. I'll be waiting for the day when that calculating bitch drags everyone down with her."

With that, Salena stormed out of the room.

Noelle watched her leave before turning to Eason. "Get your mother transferred to another hospital as soon as possible. She shouldn't be here."

She did not know exactly what had happened, but she did not want Ivy to stay in the hospital and be anywhere near Mia. She could not tell just what Ivy might try to do.

Eason looked at Noelle and then lowered his head without saying anything back.
