No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 785

Noelle had still been worried that Cedric might get found out by the Greene family just moments ago. She hadn't expected it to happen so soon.

But after some thought, it made sense. Cedric had mobilized the Greene family's resources. Several days had passed, and Emma was bound to have uncovered some clues by now.

Even Cedric was surprised. Logically, he had only used his own network, so his mother shouldn't have traced it back to him so quickly. Which meant there must be something going on that he didn't know about.

He looked at Noelle. "You leave first. I'll handle this."

No matter what Emma had found out, this wasn't a place Noelle should stay.

Noelle was still worried. "Are you sure everything's going to be okay? Mrs. Merlock is your mother's best friend. She'll be furious if she finds out what you did."

Cedric argued, "But even if Mrs. Merlock is her best friend, what she did to your parents is a crime. Once my mother learns the truth, she'll be angry but won't cover for a criminal."

Noelle didn't feel entirely reassured.

Cedric remained composed. "Let me take care of this. I'll leave Xenia to you."

If Emma found out, then more people in the family would be involved. He needed to deal with the Greene family himself.

Noelle looked into his unreadable eyes. Somehow, it put her at ease.

Just before she left, she couldn't help but tug on Cedric's sleeve. "If your mother wants to see me, I'll explain everything to her myself."

Cedric held her hand. "Alright."
