No longer a pushover

Chapter 573

Noelle hesitated for a moment, but then she just started the game. She did not

accept the other's request to join her party. But doing so only made her heart start beating even faster.

However, she became much more decisive when she recalled the headline that she saw that morning.

Since Cedric was already getting married soon, there was no reason for him to be still looking for her. She wondered if what Cedric had wanted to tell her that day was precisely about his marriage.

Noelle was not fully focused while playing the game.

Meanwhile, on the other end, Magnus was stunned after being rejected from joining Noelle's party.

Curious, he opened up Noelle's game history and saw that she had been continuously teaming up with another guy and that the guy also had the username 'Reverse Time.'

Magnus was utterly confused about what was going on. He immediately took a screenshot and sent a message to Cedric. "Cedric, did you make a new account or something? Okay, whatever. But why are you only playing with Noelle and not inviting me?"

He wondered if Cedric regarded him as an annoying third wheel. A second later, Magnus received a phone call from Cedric, his voice tense. "Who is she playing with?"
