Chapter 83

Chapter 83 0 Downstairs , in the living room , Noelle sat on the sofa beside Kimberly , engrossed in peeling walnuts .

The shells were tough , requiring a tool , but Noelle had no trouble .

With one hand , she cracked two at once with a sharp crack , effortlessly breaking the nuts apart .

Eli watched in disbelief .

Holy crap … Is she some kind of superhuman ? Damon , sitting on the other side of the room , explained to his parents what had happened at school when Eli revealed Noelles identity .

This is what happened .

I thought it was important to fill you in , Damon said .

Kimberly paused , thoughtfully .

No wonder Leia has been off lately .

This must have hit her hard her emotions are sensitive , and suddenly revealing her identity like that was a big blow .

Kimberly turned to Eli , disapproving .

Eli , what were you thinking ? That was reckless .

Eli shot back , looking up at his mother , Mom , what else was I supposed to do ? Everyone at school was spreading rumors that Noelle was an illegitimate child .

If I hadnt stepped in , Noelle wouldnt be able to survive there ! And if she really was an illegitimate child , doesnt that make Dad the adulterer ? This could tarnish the Anderson familys reputation ! At the mention of the familys reputation , Vincent , who had been quietly listening , raised his head and spoke up .

Hes right .

This rumor is ridiculous , and it needs to be cleared up .

Kimberly sighed .

True , but Leias the one suffering here .

Eli , not agreeing , shot back , How is Leia suffering ? Weve given her everything she could want shes lived like royalty in the Anderson family .

No ones treated her unfairly .

If anyones suffering , its Noelle ! Eli continued , his voice rising .

Shes been on her own all this time , only to come back and be called an illegitimate child , bullied and ostracized .

Whos thinking about her feelings ? Huh ? Noelles ears perked up .

She looked up at Eli with a surprised and delighted expression .
