Chapter 416

Noelle's expression froze up for a moment as she stared at Cedric in a daze. Her gaze flickered as she lowered her head and whispered, "I'm fine, aren't I?"

"What if you weren't? Didn't I tell you to give me a call if something happened? It doesn't matter what it is. I can help you!" Cedric grew angrier the more he spoke.

He could not forget about the sound of Noelle's desperate cry for help from the live stream. At that moment, he almost felt like killing someone. All of that, only to realize that she had been acting all along.

Noelle glanced down at the injury on her knee and whispered, "I know we're friends, but I can't always trouble you with everything."

Maple Enterprise also sponsored the esports team back then.

She felt that she could not keep relying on Cedric. She wanted to handle her own issues with the Liddells. She did not want to involve the people around her in it, especially Blake, whose personality might make him start biting people like a mad dog if provoked enough.

Cedric's car came to a halt at a red light. He then turned his head slightly, revealing his darkened expression. "So I'm just a friend to you?"

Noelle clenched her pants and took a while to reply. "What else would we be?"

He rested one hand on the steering wheel and replied, "If you don't know how to protect yourself, then I'll protect you instead. Stay by my side, and no one will ever dare to bully you again."

Her heart began beating like a drum as she felt that her face had gotten hotter.
