No longer a pushover

Chapter 129

After Noelle finished her sentence, everyone in the room had a complicated expression. She looked up at Cedric, gathered her courage, and met his gaze. His thin lips were pressed together, and his hand, hanging by his side, slowly clenched, betraying a hint of hesitation.
