No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric)

That explained why Frank kept saying that Noelle had been hurt. Lucas failed to comprehend why until now.

Donovan frowned. "Lucas, don't stand up for Noelle just yet. The investigation will yield the truth."

Noelle crossed her arms. "I agree."

"You won't repent till there's concrete evidence."

Donovan turned to the investigators and said resignedly, "As you've seen, she's always been rebellious. I'm not surprised that she would do something like this. You don't have to take heed and save her reputation. Do what must be done."

He hoped that Noelle could turn over a new leaf after this.

Xenia was vibrating with excitement. She'd finally toppled Noelle from her throne. Why did Noelle get to be valedictorian while her grades were so bad she couldn't even get into a third-rate university?noveldrama

If Xenia got bad grades, Noelle would suffer with her.

The leader looked at Noelle and asked, "I hope you can be honest with us. Did you cheat or not?"

Noelle answered coldly, "I didn't. You've asked me all this already. Is there any meaning in repeating it?"

He was surprised. "This is our first time speaking to you. What do you mean by that?"

It was Noelle's turn to be surprised. "That doesn't seem right. There was an investigation in school a few days ago."

She was right. Their second investigation was out of the ordinary.

He glanced between Noelle and Xenia. "Which of you is Xenia?"

"I'm Xenia."

Xenia had a bad feeling about this. Did they want her to stand as a witness?

Glee sparked within Xenia. "Noelle and I are classmates. She hadn't

been performing well consistently Although she put in effort to increase her grades in the last few months, perhaps she did

unexpectedly well."

"We're not here to ask about that."

Donovan frowned. "In that case, just look into Noelle. Why are you asking Xenia questions?"

"The person we're here to investigate for cheating is Xenia, not Noelle."

When they said this, the whole room fell silent.

Noelle raised an eyebrow. That explained it. They took action quite swiftly.

When Xenia heard this, she was dumbfounded. "Why would you be investigating me? I didn't cheat."

Weren't they here to look into Noelle's cheating? Why was being involved? Had her little.

been discovered? Conte

Xenia was anxious.

Donovan said incredulously, "Indeed. The one who was reporting for cheating was

Noelle. Have you made a mistake?"

"No. We're here for Xenia. We need to ask her a few questions."

Xenia guiltily backed away and turned to Donovan, her eyes widened, as though asking for his help. "Donovan, I really didn't cheat. What do they mean by this? Are they framing me?"

She couldn't allow them to find evidence of her cheating. If they did, she would be done for!"
