No longer a pushover

Chapter 160

Lucas was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone.

He could never have imagined that Noelle had actually become the city's top scorer.

After a long pause, Lucas finally said, "Well, if she's the city's top scorer, then she deserves to be celebrated."

His younger sister, who had always seemed unremarkable, suddenly became the top scorer in the city. The shock of it left him struggling to process it.

"Exactly. That's exactly how I feel. I have to be there for such an important occasion. I'll finish my meal here and then bring her over. As for Justin, you keep an eye on things over there." "Got it, no problem. Since Noelle did so well, should we throw her a celebration banquet as well?"

Ever since the loss of the competition, Lucas had been reflecting on his actions. He realized he had been too harsh on Noelle in the past, and now he wanted to improve their sibling relationship. Frank replied with relief, "How could I forget? Of course, we need to throw her a grand celebration. She's the city's top scorer-when Donovan hears this, he'll be thrilled."

After hanging up, Frank entered the restaurant, excitement bubbling inside him.

Noelle was sitting at the center of the room, the focus of everyone's attention.

When Frank entered, someone stood up and said, "The top scorer's brother is here! Let's give him a seat."

Frank sat next to Noelle, feeling an uneasy sense of unfamiliarity.

In the past, he was always respected as Mr. Liddell. He had never imagined a day would come when he would be riding on Noelle's coattails.

But despite the discomfort, he couldn't help getting swept up in the festive atmosphere, and his mood began to lift.
