No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric)

"Aren't you also disabled? You're not even as good as Ms. Cantrell." Noelle couldn't stand the way Wyatt kept calling Mia a cripple.

Her words enraged Wyatt. His face twisted with fury as he snapped, "What did you say? Say that again if you dare!"

Noelle calmly set down her spoon. "I said, you're a wheelchair-bound cripple yourself. What gives you the right to call someone else that?"

"You traitor!" Wyatt shouted, his face contorted with rage. "How dare you take an outsider's side and insult me!"

Before he could get closer, Noelle suddenly flipped the table. The dishes crashed down, and the cooked fish landed on Wyatt's lap.

He saw red. "Noelle! Do you think I won't beat you up just because you're grown?"

Noelle smirked, then kicked his wheelchair over. Wyatt fell straight into the mess of food miserably.

Noelle towered over him. "Don't assume I won't lay a hand on you because you're disabled."

Wyatt was livid. His voice trembled as he shouted, "Aren't you afraid I'll never forgive you?"

Noelle cocked a brow. "I pray for that to happen."noveldrama

She had long stopped caring about the Liddell family.

Wyatt struggled to get up, but he couldn't balance with only one leg., so he turned

to Xenia for help. But Xenia hesitated, feeling utterly humiliated. However, she couldn't afford to lose Wyatt when Donovan was already annoyed with her.

So, despite her reluctance, she walked over and handed Wyatt a towel. "Wipe yourself off first, Wyatt."

Noelle watched them with amusement. "Instead of wasting time here, you should focus on dealing with the Cantrells. The Liddells will go bankrupt in no time if you piss them off. At that point, forget about your engagement. Even survival will be hard enough."

Wyatt cursed, "This is all your fault!"

Noelle raised a brow. "I wasn't the one who stole a dress."

Just then, a waiter entered. "Excuse me, who will be settling the bill?"

Noelle smirked and pointed at Wyatt. "Him. After all, he invited us to celebrate his engagement."

Wyatt snapped, "Fine! I'll pay!"

But when be reached into his

pockets, he froze. Then, he admittet

awkwardly forgot my wallet And I don't have my credit card on me."

Xenia flushed with embarrassment. "Then, what do we do?"

"I thought Donovan was here and was planning to just put it on his tab." He turned to the waiter. "Do you know Donovan Liddell Just charge it to him. No need to make this difficult."

The waiter smiled. "Sorry, sir. Our restaurant doesn't allow tabs."

He looked directly at Wyatt. "Cash or card?"

Wyatt flushed bright red. With no other choice, he turned to Lucas. "Lucas, cover this for me. I'll pay you back later."

Lucas replied coolly, "Xenia made

me lose my entire esports team. Now, I'm buried in debt, and I still have to pay a settlement to Maple Enterprise to avoid jail time. Where exactly would I get the money?"

Wyatt grew frustrated. "Then use your credit card!"

Lucas shrugged. "All my cards are maxed out. Since you and Xenia are engaged now, why don't you ask her to cover it?"

He had no intention of paying even a cent.

Wyatt gritted his teeth in frustration. Finally, he turned to Noelle. "You should pay.

You ate the most just now."

Noelle smiled. "Beg."
