No longer a pushover

Chapter 159

When Noelle saw Frank being interviewed by the reporter, a sly glint flashed in her eyes. Frank was caught entirely off guard by the reporter's questions and stood there stunned.

What did they mean by the family's involvement helped Noelle improve her grades?

Noelle had moved out well before the exams and barely came home. Her rapid academic progress had nothing to do with them.

In fact, back then, Lucas had insisted that Noelle take a leave to train with the esports team, and Xenia had pushed her in the same direction, which had actually harmed her grades, causing them to drop significantly.

In short, the Liddell family had contributed nothing to Noelle's success as the top scorer-if anything, they had been a hindrance.

Had Noelle not insisted on moving out and refusing to participate in the esports training, her chances of becoming the city's top scorer would have been almost nonexistent.

As these thoughts ran through his mind, Frank instinctively glanced at Noelle.

It dawned on him that Noelle had done this on purpose.

She had set this up to deliberately mock the entire Liddell family.

Noelle knew none of them would have the courage to claim this honor for themselves.

He had to admit, this was a hard slap across the face-one that left him deeply ashamed. He couldn't deny that he had failed as a proper brother. Frank's expression turned awkward, his discomfort clear.
