After Noelle left, Alfred couldn't help but complain, "You are horrible at taking care of people. You could've helped her hand consoled her." "She's not a delicate petal who needs that degree of care!" Cedric glanced at the blood on the floor. "It looks like the Liddells haven't been taught a hard enough lesson." "They should be taught a lesson. However, the Liddell Corporation used to be a company founded by Noelle's parents. Even the nand the address had been picked out by them. If they went bankrupt, would they be sad?" After all, this was a form of inheritance.
Cedric was stern as he turned and left toward the toilet. He had seen Noelle head to the fire escape. She sat on the stairs, lost in a daydream. The scene of Frank slitting his wrist was playing on repeat in her head. She couldn't get it out.
Cedric sat beside her and asked, "Do you need sconsolation?" She turned to him, not knowing whether she should've laughed or cried. "What are you doing here?" "I'm here to console you." Cedric patted his shoulders and said, "I'll lend you my shoulder for free." She glanced at him and leaned on the shoulder. Closing her eyes, she said, "Do you think I crossed a line?" "Have you forgotten how he scolded you? During your exam, Frank prepared broken stationery for you and that nearly cost you your grades." Noelle inhaled deeply and answered, "I know." Cedric tapped her forehead and said, "You're too nice. Lower your moral threshold. Have you heard how people say that low moral thresholds are the key to a happy life? Didn't you tell your fans in the livestream that you were an immoral woman?" A laugh broke out of Noelle. "Stop talking. It's not even funny." She paused for a moment before saying, "I do hate them, and I'll never forgive them." She then continued, "However, when we were young, they were really nice to me. They cradledin the palm of their hands and treatedwith absolute care." However, this all cto a halt after Xenia showed up. Noelle had only been a few years old when her parents passed. When they were nice to her, it was amazing. However, when they mistreated her, it nearly cost her her life.
Cedric looked down at her conflicted expression, feeling bad for her. "However, you've paid for the consequences. You don't owe them anything." Noelle considered how she died in her past life. Indeed. She had died once and paid them back.

After saying all this, she felt much more relaxed. Noelle realized that she was leaning on Cedric shoulder. H on had an arm slung naturally around her. From a distance, it probably looked like he was embracing her. He Noelle looked down and didn't move. They were silent, remaining in the sposition.
Her heartbeat picked up uncontrollably. Worried he wouldn hear, she looked up hastily and asked, "Is it almost time?"
Cedric looked down at the stand his lips brushed across shed across herm forehead Itwas an accident neither had seen coming. Noelle stood up hastily. "I'm heading off to the meeting." She nearly missed a step on the staircase. Cedric pulled her into his arms and said, "Be careful." Noelle's ears turned red. They were very close. Everything was silent, except for their racing heartbeats. She looked up and made eye contact with Cedric. The distance between them decreased.
