No longer a pushover
Chapter 13
Chapter 13
After hearing Bruce speak, Noelle was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected him to bring her condition to retake the exam.
She looked across at Lucas and Xenia, her expression calm.
However, Lucas' face became quite unnatural. Noelle used to follow him around, never doing anything that made him uncomfortable. As an older brother, he was used to being high and mighty. Asking him to apologize now was like asking him to choose death-it was pure torment.
Xenia quickly said, "Noelle, when did you get so good? We didn't know that you had been studying secretly at home. You worked hard to get such good grades, but others suspected you of cheating. Lucas was the first to come to school to help you. He's really good to you."
After she made the excuse for him, Lucas spoke coldly. "Xenia, stop talking. Some people will never understand." He looked at her with satisfaction, thinking that this was the behavior a sister should have.
Noelle gave him a half-smile and said, "Yeah, he came to school immediately. So what? He told Mr. Kramer that I cheated. He was going to force me to write a letter of repentance and make me apologize in front of the whole school. Would you want this kind of treatment?"
Xenia immediately fell silent.
Furious and embarrassed, Lucas shouted, "Noelle, you secretly worked hard without telling us, making me think you were cheating. Sure, your grades have improved, but what's the point of pulling a stunt like this? Do you think it's funny?"
Bruce spoke again while looking at Lionel. "Who was the first to accuse Noelle of cheating? Call them over to apologize."
Lionel quickly summoned Gwen and Betty.
Gwen and Betty still didn't know what had happened, thinking that Noelle had indeed cheated. They smugly said, "Mr. Kramer, we've been saying that Noelle cheated to get those grades. Is the investigation over now?"
Lionel nodded. "Yes, it's clear that Noelle didn't cheat. You two should apologize to her now."
The duo were stunned. Noelle didn't cheat? How could that be?
Xenia quickly pretended to play the good cop. "Noelle didn't cheat. I told you not to spread rumors. You should apologize to her now." With that, she distanced herself from the situation.
Gwen and Betty reluctantly apologized to Noelle. "Sorry, we were wrong. We shouldn't have said those things."
Lionel looked at Noelle and asked, "Do you have any other requests?"
Noelle shook her head. "No."
