Chapter 70 Chapter 70 A statement even faster than Damons left Vincent and the others dumbfounded .
Damen , is this ... true ? Vincent turned to Damon , incredulous .
After all , Damon had clinched the world championship at such a young age and was hailed as a genius racer in the racing world .
But now , they were being told that his daughter was faster than his son , the so called prodigy .
How could he not be shocked and doubtful The Anderson familys eyes quickly darted to Damon , awaiting his response .
Damon , with his prideful and face conscious nature , would never allow Noelle to lie without consequences .
But this time , he calmly took a sip of soup , glanced at his family , and admitted .
Noelles right .
She is indeed faster than me .
At his words , the Anderson family went silent , their expressions frozen in disbelief .
Noelle , youre impressive Eli said , his gaze toward Noelle filled with admiration .
Deep down , he was a little happy for her .
After all , Damon and Noelle didnt exactly get along , so for her to earn his approval meant she was really skilled behind the wheel .
Surely , this would change her fathers opinion of her .
Kimberly , equally astonished and pleased , chimed in .
Noelle can drive a race car ! But arent you just of legal age ? Were you driving an illegal car before ! buy you a ra Vincent added.
Well , if Damon says so , Noelle , would you like to pursue a career in racing ? If thats what you want , I can buy you a race car .
Noelle , surprised by the strong reaction her driving had sparked , felt a mixture of joy and surprise .
She looked at Damon , grateful that he had brought up the topic .
Otherwise , things wouldnt have taken such an unexpected turn Damon , after admitting the truth , seemed to have washed his hands of the matter , continuing to up his soup in silence .
He as , as her mother had said , a tough nut on the outside but soft hearted inside .
Later , Noelle declined the offer to pursue a racing career .
Truthfully , she wasnt all that interested in racing ; she had only learned to drive to make her tasks easier Vincent didnt press the matter but said that if she ever changed her mind , she could always turn to him for a car .
Time passed quickly .
After two weeks of military training , Noelle was finally heading to school .
But during her absence , the students had already formed their own little groups During this time , two people had become particularly well known : Harley and Leia Leia was attractive and had a good personality , making her quite popular among the boys , Most importantly , everyone knew she was Elis sister .
Since Eli was a prominent figure at the school , his sister naturally garnered attention and admiration from many .
As for Harley , he gained fame during military training for constantly challenging the instructors , hoping to earn some free time , just like Noelle had on her first day .
Hut unlike Noelle , who easily defeated the instructors , Harley didnt fare as well when he faced them .
Still , his good looks and cool demeanor , along with his tall and athletic build , earned him the admiration of many girls To top it off , rumors about Harleys family background began to spread .
Not only was he handsome and strong , but he was also from a prominent family .
The girls went wild for him , and soon enough , he became the talk of the school , even overshadowing the student body president , EL Some of his most ardent fans even started a fan club in ha honor .
The day before Noelle returned to school , Harley sent her a message .
It outlined which classroom she would be in and what subjects she would be taking Since Noelle had missed two weeks .
Harley had taken care of her textbooks and would give them to her when she arrived .
Following the Instructions , Noelle entered the classroom and saw a number of students already seated .
Among them was Leia Drua had stayed at school during the military training and used the opportunity to make connections with the girls in her class .
She casually found a seat , and soon a circle of girls gathered around her , chatting and laughing .
When Noelle saw Leja , the reinembered Nicks advice to at least maintain appearances , so she waved at her .

Open 9:22 AM Chapter 70 Leia , youre already here ? Noelle greeted .
At her words , many eyes in the classroom shifted toward Noelle .
Leia glanced at her , a flicker of something unknown crossing her eyes .
She then smiled politely and nodded .
Noelle , youre here .
Mm Noelle found a seat and sat down .
Meanwhile , the girls sitting around Leia started whispering among themselves .
Leia , why are you even acknowledging her ? Yeah , Id just roll my eyes if I were you Being classmates with someone like her is just bad luck .
Leis heard the girls and , though satisfied , put on an act .
Okay , okay , I know youre just looking out for me .
But shes right here , so stop talking about it Why not ! Does she have the face to argue back ! Leia , youre too nice .
Leia pretended to be helpless .
I know you mean well , but just dont spread it around .
Itll cause trouble .
Dont worry , we wont .
The girls thought they were whispering quietly , but Noelles sharp hearing caught every word .
After bearing their conversation , Noelle was left feeling confused .
Was her reputation really that had among her classmates ? Had she done something so wrong ? Little did Noelle know , in these two weeks , she had gone from being the legitimate daughter of the Anderson family to being labeled the illegitimate one .
The turning point came on the first day when Harley took Noelle and Leia out for pasta .
Harley , so focused on Noelle , inadvertently ignored Leia , making Leia feel slighted and reduced to tears behind their backs .
Eli , who happened to pass by , caught sight of Leias distress and , being fiercely protective of her , grew cold toward Noelle .
This incident quickly spread among Elis circle of girls From there , rumors about Noelle and her relationship with Leia and Eli began to swirl .
Everyone knew Leia came from the Anderson family , but when Noelle was seen calling herself part of it , people began to wonder : Could Noelle be the Anderson familys illegitimate daughter ? After all , Elis cold attitude toward her seemed to suggest as much .
Soon , even more rumors began to surface about Noelles past , painting her as a lowly , illegitimate daughter with a questionable background , someone who had dropped out of school early and only gained access to Eston University thanks to the Anderson family pulling strings .
This coupled with her behavior during military training , which many saw as disrespectful solidified her poor reputation .
Now , Noelle was seen as little more than a troublemaker with a tarnished past , and the whispers behind her back only grew louder .
However , not everyone dared to speak openly in front of Eli or Harley .
As a result , neither of them was aware of the gossip brewing around Noelle .
Noelle could clearly feel herself being ostracized .
All the other students were sitting in groups , while she was left all alone .
Her parents and Nick had all told her to make good relationships at school , but no one was even acknowledging her .
How was she supposed to make friends if they ignored her !
