No longer a pushover

Chapter 352

Noelle glanced at her chat with Magnus, noticing he hadn't replied either.

It seemed that Magnus had misunderstood as well.

After a moment of thought, she messaged him.

"Did you misunderstand what I said earlier? I wasn't trying to figure out your weaknesses to threaten you into withdrawing from the competition. That wasn't my intention."

After sending the message, Noelle felt her explanation was a little weak.

Cedric had mentioned that Magnus' family didn't approve of him playing games.

Could it be that Magnus withdrew from the competition in her previous life because of family pressure, and not for the reason she had assumed?

Meanwhile, Magnus had just woken up and saw Noelle's message. Instantly, his drowsiness disappeared.

Sitting up, he stared at her message and let out a sigh of relief.

He knew it—Noelle wouldn't have any ill intentions toward him.

Magnus happily replied, "That's a relief!"

Noelle felt much more at ease after seeing his response. "Are you attending the banquet this weekend?"

Of course, he had to go!

Magnus needed to be there to protect her. After all, Cedric wouldn't risk showing up to protect his concealed identity.

Haha, now it was his turn to shine.
