No longer a pushover

Chapter 346

Cedric watched Noelle calm down and asked, "What did Magnus say to you?"

"How did you know about this?"

Noelle was taken aback, feeling a little uneasy. Did Cedric notice something? She knew he was sharp, and it wasn't easy to hide anything from him.

At that moment, Cedric felt a bit uneasy. He wasn't sure exactly what Magnus had said to Noelle. He then steadied himself and said, "Don't take his words too seriously."

"I know."

Noelle had calmed down a bit. She drank some water and said, "I just asked him

one thing, but he didn't respond at all."

"What did you ask?"

Cedric felt his breath catch. He didn't even get nervous during business negotiations, but this was different.

Noelle hesitated before looking at him. However, thinking that Cedric and Magnus probably had a good relationship, she wondered if he might know the answer. Magnus must have withdrawn from the finals because of someone important. Cedric looked at her seriously. "You don't trust me?"
