Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Of course , its Leia , Noelle silently grumbled to herself .
Wait Nick said Lela wouldnt say such harsh things directly .
Leia just likes to stir the pot making others come to their own conclusions .
Shes a born actress .
Noelle recalled how Nicolas had taught her how to act cute .
She lowered her head , let her tears fall , put on a pitiful expression , and shook her head as she said , I dont know .
But everyones been saying it .
Ell who do you think is spreading these rumors ? Eli thought he caught on to Noelles subtle hint .
He turned toward her , furrowing his brows , and asked , You think Leias the one spreading this ? El for e conce , youre being smart , Noelle thought .
But nodding here would give it away too quickly .
Nick had always said that talking bad about someone behind their back was the lowest move .
Noelle quickly shook her head , looking genuinely surprised , and said , Eli , how could you doubt Leia Leias a good sister , She would never say something like that , just because shes not a biological daughter of the Anderson family .
She wouldnt slander me as an illegitimate child .
Dont say things like that Yeah , youre right El agreed .
Noelles words left a positive impression on Eli .
At least , Noelle didnt gossip behind peoples backs and even defended Leia .
However , the rumors needed to be looked into .
Hardly anyone at school even knew Noelle .
For people to suddenly start spreading the rumor that she was an illegitimate child of the Anderson family , there had to be a reason .
Plus , they knew shed gotten into Eston University through connections Also , Noelle and Leia are in the same class .
Since Noelle has heard these rumors , surely Leia would have known about them too , right ? Eli wondered El class is about to start .
Noelle reminded him Eli snapped out of his thoughts , looked at Noelle , and asked .
How many classes do you have this afternoon ? Two , Noelle replied .
Alright , Ill come find you later , Ell said .
For what ? Noelle asked Well talk about in later .
You go ahead and go to class now , Eli said .
Okay Noelle nodded .
She silently double checked in her mind , making sure she had said everything Nick taught her , before feeling reassured and heading back to class .
In the classroom , Leia was chatting with some classmates when she noticed Noelle had returned .
Thats odd .
Didnt Noelle say she was going to find Nicolas ? How is she luck in time for afternoon classes ! Lela thought .
But Harley left after lunch and still hasnt shown up .
Hey , Leia , I heard Eli took you to the student union at lunch and wants to promote you .
Is that true ? a girl named Vivian suddenly asked .
Leia snapped d back to reality and gave her a reluctant smile as she said .
Eli said he wanted to give me some experience .
de withs I dont mind starting from the bottom , but he insisted that starting from a leadership position would help me develop faster .
I couldnt argue him , so I past agreed .
Wow , postre going to fie an officer in your first y Sering Noelle year ? It must be nice to have an older brother as the student union president , Vivian said , enviously valk over , Vivian purposely spoke loudly .
Some people cant even compare to you , considering how lowly her background is Noelle suddenly stopped and turned to look at Vivian .
Vivian , caught off guard by Noelles stare , glared back at her , her eyes flashing with a hien of guilt , Why are you staring G Dreame Read Romance ..
Open 9:23 AM Chapter 76 Although it was harsh , it was the truth .
Noelle really was a lowborn illegitimate child .
Eli doesnt even acknowledge me .
I may not be able to mess with Eli , but taking it out on Noelle is fair game .
Noelle doesnt have much status , after all , Vivian wondered .
Lela , afraid Noelle might cause trouble , quickly forced a smile and winked at Noelle .
Noelle , we were just joking .
Dont take it the wrong way .
Noelle glanced at Leia , blinked , and replied bluntly .
I do take it the wrong wa Leias smile instantly froze .
Whats going on with Noelle ? Did something happen with Nicolas , and now shes coming here to vent on me ? she wondered .
The people around them noticed the sudden tension in the air and immediately turned to look .
Huh ? Whats going on ? I dont know , the atmosphere just got really tense all of a sudden Its almost time for class .
Whos going to try and calm them down Who dares Noelles tough .
She can be really scary Seeing everyones gaze shift to her , Leia couldnt help but feel a surge of hatred toward Noelle .
This bitch cant feel at ease unless she makes a scene , right Leia forced a polite smile on her face , but her hands were clenched tightly into fists .
Noelle , stop making trouble , okay ? Lets just pretend Vivian mis poke .
Im sorry .
Will that work for you ? Leia why are you apologizing ! Vivian felt discontent as she wondered , I didnt say anything wrong .
Noell background is lowly .
an illegitimate child .
Her Alright Lela glanced at Vivian , feeling increasingly irritated .
How stupid you are ! Why did you have to say that in front of Noelle ? Idiot ! Vivian caught the warning look in Leias eyes and quickly backed off But Noelle wasnt so easy to dismiss .
She shot a glance at Vivian and turned to Leia .
Whoever made the mistake should apologize .
Why are you apologizing ? I want her to apologize to me Noelle , why are you still making such a big deal out of this ? Leia said , growing Vivian , seeing that Noelle , a mere illegitimate child , was getting so bold in front of Leia , instantly lost her temper and retorted .
Why should I apologizel What did I say wrong ! I just walked up .
and you deliberately said lowly background so that I would hear it .
Noelle stated flatly .
Vivian sneered .
Yeah , right .
What a coincidence .
I didnt expect you to walk up just as I said that .
And anyway , some people really do have lowly backgrounds .
Does anyone think thats wrong ? Many students in the class , influenced ed by Leia , believed that Noelle was an illegitimate child , while Leia was the legitimate heir .
Although Vivians words were unpleasant , they didnt seem entirely off base Noelle thought for a moment , then suddenly felt a sense of clarity , nodding as she said .
Well , youre right .
Some people really do have lowly backgrounds .
Noelle then lowered her gaze to Leia and asked , Leia , dont you agree ? Leia , knowing the truth , felt a stab in her heart , Hearing aring Noelle n repeat those words felt like a direct attack on her dignity .
At that moment , the instructor entered and addressed the class .
Everyone whos still standing , sit down .
Class is about to begin Noelle didnt press the issue any further and turned to find a seat .
Verian , still clueless about the situation , leaned in and whispered excitedly to Leia , Leia , did Noelle just have a moment of clarity ? She actually admitted her lowly background Leias face turned slightly pale , and she found the comment especially harsh .
She frowned at Vivian , What do you mean by lowly background ? Vivian , that was too much .
Dream Road Romance .
Open G Chapter 76 Too much ? Vivian froze , clearly taken aback by Leias reaction .
She snapped .
Are you really going to defend Noelle ? Please , a bastard like her : acting all high and mighty in front of you ! If it were me , I wouldve slapped that bitch already Lelas expression darkened even more , and she simply ignored Vivian , shifting her seat to the side and clearly signaling that she didnt want to talk .
Vivian felt completely confused .
What is wrong with Leia she wondered .
But as the class started , Vivian lud no choice but to bottle up her frustration .
Two classes later , when the instructor left and the students were about to leave the classroom , a tall figure entered .
The girls immediately perked up , whispering excitedly .
Elis here ! Eli walked in , and it was like a ray of light shining into Leias heart .
The tension that had been building up in her chest for the past two classes began to casc Thank goodness .
Elis here , Leia thought .
Elis been angry with Noelle because of Nicolas .
If Eli gives Noelle the cold shoulder right now , then everyone will believe even more that Noelle is really an illegitimate chikl Leia couldnt help but smile as she thought of this .
She stood up , ready to walk toward Eli .
But Eh scanned the crowd , his eyes landing on a specific spot .
He deliberately raised his voice , Hey , Noelle , come here æ¥ x
