No longer a pushover

Chapter 575

Noelle was so furious that her eyes turned bloodshot. She could not believe that Cedric had twisted the situation to blame her instead.

Cedric noticed that she was about to cry and immediately softened his tone. "That's not what I meant. I didn't say that you were cheating on me."

But he just saw that she was standing way too close to a stranger, and he did not want to see her getting so close to another man.

Noelle held back her tears and pushed Cedric's hand away. "Let him go."

Cedric let go of his hand obediently. He lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong, Noelle?"

"Nothing."

Noelle ignored Cedric and handed her towel to Raymond. "Go take a cold shower. It'll help to stop the nosebleed."

Cedric noticed Noelle giving Raymond her towel. He immediately snatched it away and said, "You can use mine."

He then stuffed his own towel into Raymond's arms instead. Raymond did not accept the towel. He just turned to Noelle and asked, "Will you be okay by yourself?"

"I'll be fine. You go ahead and stop the bleeding. I'm sorry about what happened just now," Noelle replied. She never expected Cedric to actually hit someone.
