Chapter 10
Noelle stopped in her tracks and greeted the Liddell brothers politely but distantly. She said, "Frank, Blake, Lucas."
She knew skipping the greeting would only lead to more accusations about her attitude, and she did not have the energy for their drama.
"How was the exam today?" Lucas asked, his eyebrow raised. "Since you chose your studies over joining the team, let's see just how well you did!"
His taunts did not bother Noelle anymore. After all, her brothers would always find reasons to criticize her, no matter what.
"I'll do my best," she replied simply, knowing that she was definitely doing her best to get into Yole University and away from all of them.
"Noelle's never been academic material," Blake scoffed. "She barely scraped by Grades 10 and 11. This last-minute studying is just for show. She'll still rank below Xenia!"
Smiling sweetly, Xenia chimed in, "Blake, don't say that. Noelle's been working really hard lately, and even the teachers praise her. Besides, rankings aren't everything."
Noelle gripped her bag tightly, rage building inside her. In her previous life, her poor grades had been deliberate. Whenever she outscored Xenia, the latter would cause problems that turned her brothers against her. She intentionally performed poorly to avoid their disapproval, but that did not mean that she was incapable.
During her previous college entrance exams, she had tried to outperform Xenia to prove herself. Nevertheless, despite qualifying for better ones, Donovan had forced her to apply to the same mediocre college as Xenia. Determined not to repeat her mistakes, Noelle suppressed her anger and stated coldly, "I'm going to my room."

The next day, Noelle slept in as it was a Saturday. When she finally went downstairs for breakfast, the house was quiet. She figured that the others had probably left for training camp. Unbothered, she ate quickly and returned to her room. Then, she checked her phone for gaming tournament news.
