Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Ti Noelle blinked and saw the furious Eli standing in her room .

Beside him was Leia , who appeared concerned , though her eyes betrayed a gleam of sening satisfaction .

Leia was secretly thrilled .

She thought staying up all night with Eli had been worth it .

Last night , unable to sleep after siewing over Noelles recording , Leia had gone to the balcony for some air .

That was when she spotted a small figure sneaking out through the back door of the villa .

It was Noelle .

Drias heart leaped .

That shameless Noelle ! She speaks out in the dead of night .

If Mom , Dad , and the brothers find out , theyll definitely think shes up to no good and hate her even more , she thought But after weigh after weighing her options , Leia decided to tell only Eli After the recording incident , dragging the rest of the family into this would seem petty .

But Eli was openly biased against Noelle .

Telling him alone was perfect it made Leia look considerate for not spreading the news while turning Eli against Noelle .

A win win Now , Leia was eagerly waiting to see how Noelle would explain speaking out at 10 p.m.

and returning at 5 am But to Leias disappointment , Noelles face showed neither guilt nor panic .

Instead , Noelle blinked her wide eyes innocently and asked .

Eli Leia , why are you in my room without permission ! Thats not very polite , you Eli , already furious , nearly exploded .

Noelles calmness and deflection only his anger .

Cut the crap ! he growled , striding toward her .

His towering frame cast a shadow over her small figure .

What were you doing out in the middle of the night ? Dont you realize youre an Anderson heiress now ? Everything you do represents the family ! Do you want everyone to despise you even more than they already do by acting recklessly like this ? he asked .

Leia stepped forward , and her voice was soft and seemingly concerned .
