Chapter 73 Chapter 73 In the CEOs office , Noelle was sitting on Nicolass lap , holding a pack of beef jerky Bryan had just brought her .
While chewing , she recounted the events from school today , telling ng Nicolas everything in detail .
After finishing her story , she got more and more worked up , her checks putting up in anger .
She huffed at Nicolas , saying .
Nick , how could they be like that I didnt do anything to them , and theyre still talking behind my back .
And Leia too , every time Im with her , I just feel uncomfortable and annoyed .
I just want to hit her ! Nicolas listened carefully to Noelles words and immediately understood the situation .
With a mocking smile , he reached out to poke Noelles puffed cheek and said in a calm tone .
I was wondering why you were so upset .
Turns out its that fake girl who got you angry .
Fake girl ? Noelle was confused .
Her large , round eyes fixed on Nicolas , and she asked , Nick , whos this fake giri Who else but Leia ? Nicolas raised an eyebrow .
Naturally , he wiped the beef jerky crumbs from Noelles mouth and ate them himself , saying , She always acts innocent while secretly guiding others to attack you , and then later tries to play the nice person and defend you .
Thats a classic tactic of these fake , self righteous types .
Nick , now that you mention it Leia really does seem like a fake girl .
Noelle , who had always been more about action than subtlety , had rarely dealt with manipulative types .
Listening to Nicolas made her feel like she was finally seeing things clearly Shes not just pretending , shes exactly that kind of person .
Just then , Bryan knocked and entered the room , holding a stack of documents .
Mr.
Sawyer , weve investigated the situation , and everything is clear in here .
This explains why Miss Anderson has been isolated by her classmates .
Hmm , p good work .
Nicolas took the documents and then instructed , Order two pasta dishes .
Well have lunch in the office today Yes , sir .
Before Bryan could leave , Noelle quickly added , Make sure theres more meat .
Thanks .
Nicolas smiled at her .
Even when she was this upset , she didnt forget about her meat cravings .
He looked down at Noelle in his arms , his voice light and teasing , Should 1 get you an all meat platter ? Yes ! Im going to turn my anger into hunger , Noelle replied , clenching her small fists angrily .
Noelle was straightforward and acted on her feelings .
This was the first time shed been so angry and yet had no idea why , so she needed the meat to calm down .
Naturally , Nicolas indulged her .
He turned back to Bryan and said , Give her more incat .
Undertood After Bryandelt , Nicolas started looking through the report Bryan had brought .
After scanning through it , Nicolas sneered and said .
Just as I thought D Dreams Read Romance ... Open Chapter 73 Whats going on ! Noelle had been busy opening a new pack of beef jerky and didnt pay much attention to the report .
Nicolas wrapped his arms around her , holding the report , and looked over it with her .
He said , Youve been wondering why people are so hostile towards you , right ? This wouldnt be happening without Elfs involvement .
Eli ? How does he fit into this ! Noelle was was confused .
Nicolas asked , Did you meet Eli on the first day of school ? And didnt he walk off with Leia right after ? Yes , he did That got around the school .
Now , a lot of people believe youre the illegitimate daughter of the Anderson family , which is why Eli treats y Leia so differently .
you and Noelles cheeks puffed up in frustration again .
How did I become an illegitimate daughter ? Eli only took Leia because she was crying .
He apologized to me afterward But Nicolas sneered again .
Whats the point of him apologizing behind your back ? The rumors already spread Noelle was confused .
But dont they just spread rumors without asking ? They could ask Leia or Eli and theyd know the truth .
Nicolas said .
These people wont bother asking Eli , but dont forget Leia has good relationships with everyone .
They could easily ask her .
Right .
If they asked Leia , theyd know the truth .
Noelle thought the situation was silly .
It was something so simple to verify , yet no one had bothered to do so .
Unexpectedly .
Nicolas knocked on her head , saying .
Silly Ouch ! Noelle rubbed her head and pouted , asking , Nick , why did you knock my head Elly , dont think peoples behavior is so simple Nicolas gently massaged her head after the knock and continued , Leias been the Anderson familys precious daughter for years .
Do you think she would let anyone find out that they mistook her for another child ? Shed rather everyone believe youre the fake one and shes the real one .
Noelle still didnt fully fully understand .
But its the truth .
The truth will come out , and she cant keep deceiving people forever .
Who says shes deceiving anyone ? Nicolas asked , raising an eyebrow ... Noelle was puzzled , tilting her head .
But everyone believes Im the illegitimate daughter .
Isnt that Leia lying Elly , you dont get it .
Thats the art of being fake Nicolas looked at her with a shrewd smile , like an experienced fox , and explained , A skilled faker doesnt need to clarify anything .
She misleads prople into thinking what she wants them to think .
In that department , youre nowhere near as good as Leia If people ask hier about your relationships with the Anderson family , she can admit youre part of the family , but leave out the part about being swapped at binh That way , everyone will assume youre the illegitimate daughter , and she wont need to say more .
Shell let the rumors spread , and others will disparage you in secret .
No way Noelle eyes widened in realization , nodding .
So thats how it is Also , to reinforce this image , shell act like she has a good relationship with Eli .
Elis cold to you , which makes it seem like shes the true Anderson daughter , and youre just the outsider .
Bx D Dreame Read Romance ... Open Chapter 73 Even if everything comes out later , shell just say she didnt say anything .
The rumors are all someone elses Cult , And take todays pasta incident .
Harley was treating you , but she jumped in and interrupted .
Then , in front of her friends , she says something vague like , I was talking to Harley , and Noelle was there , which sounds true .
But to her friends , it makes it seem like Harley was treating her, and you just butted in .
As a friend , would they be upset and want to stand up for her ? Noelle , upon hearing all this , felt a mixture of realization and anger .
She clenched her fists tightly .
Now I get it ! Shes clearly twisting things .
Leia is so bad , shes taking things out of context ! You cant twist the truth .
How can you turn something bad into something good ? Nicolas had long known that Leia was not a naive person .
Elly , with her straightforward nature , didnt understand these manipulative games .
Without someone watching out for her , she could easily be deceived .
So mad ..
Noelle fumed , wanting to punch something .
She turned to Nicolas and asked , Nick , can I punch Leia ? Shes so annoying .
Nicolas responded slowly , his eyes half lidded , reaching up to press Noelles little hair sticking up .
Why not ? Noelle was irritated but tried to control herself .
Nicolas said .
If you hit Leia , shell go straight to the Anderson family and tell them .
Dont you want to make a good impression on them ! If you really do that , youll ruin any chance of improving their opinion of you .
Nick made a valid point .
Noelle pouted but secretly glanced at her Nick , asking , What if I secretly hit her , put her in a bag , and she doesnt know its me ? Comment
