No longer a pushover

Chapter 15

Noelle remained calm. She really wanted to leave this family.

Lucas sneered. "Alright. You can leave now. Let's see how you manage without the Liddell family!"

Frank couldn't take it anymore. "Enough. Lucas, what are you saying?"

"Frank, look! She wants to leave. She doesn't want us anymore!" Lucas' eyes reddened, and he was incredibly emotional.

He had already yielded that day, yet she still wanted to leave. He wondered if she was expecting him to kneel and apologize before she would be satisfied.

Xenia quickly intervened to mediate, "Lucas, don't be angry. Noelle is just joking. If she doesn't want to tutor me, it's fine. I already have a tutor, and I'm really happy."

He viciously glared at Noelle. "Look at how sensible Xenia is, and look at you. Have you ever reflected on yourself?"

"Lucas, forget it. Let's go. I still need to ask you about some game strategies." Xenia turned to Frank. "Frank, we'll take our leave now."

"Go ahead," Frank said, his heart softening from Xenia's understanding demeanor.

Originally not part of the Liddell family, Xenia had sacrificed a lot for the team's training, which caused her grades to drop significantly. She also intervened in family conflicts, playing the role of the peacemaker. Compared to Noelle, Xenia seemed far more considerate. He looked at Noelle with disappointment. "Don't take Lucas' words to heart. You're still a part of the Liddell family."

Noelle coldly replied, "I think it's time that I move out."

His expression changed. "Noelle, what do you want us to do so that we can live happily together again like before?"

Like before? Her eyes instantly grew heavy, and she felt profound disappointment. She didn't even want to respond. "Nothing," she said faintly.

After that, she walked straight upstairs to her room. She would never again debase herself to give her everything only to be ignored and abandoned. Never again.
