Chapter 77 Chapter 77 Leia was momentarily stunned .
Wasnt Eli supposed to be looking for me ! Why is he greeting Noelle first ! And why does he sound so gentle with hert Coming .
Noelle happily skipped over to Elis side , greeting him with a sweet voice .
Hi , Eli Eli gave Noelle a brief glance before casually pulling her over and resting a hand on her shoulder .
He then addressed everyone .
Sorry to take up your time , everyone .
Recently , Ive heard some absurd nimors and came here to clear things up .
Leia almost jumped out of her seat .
Her face drained of color in an instant , and her heart started pounding uncontrollably .
What is Eli doing ? Could it be Leia thought to herself .
Lela , whats wrong A girl next to her noticed Leias pale complexion and asked , concerned .
Some others were puzzled .
Why did Eli call Noelle over ? And why did he put his hand on her shoulder ? They seem so close ! Leia couldnt even say a word .
She just stared at Eli , her heart racing like it might leap out of her chest .
It cant be .
It just cant be what Im thinking .
Leia thought anxiously A few of the girls exchanged confused glances , unsure of what was going on with Leia Meanwhile , everyones attention shifted to Eli and Noelle , and the whispers began .
Whats going on ! Whats Ell trying to clarify ? Feels like somethings going on here .
Ell put his hand on Noelles shoulder .
t .
I have al a bold guess .
Funny , me too Ignoring the murmurs from the crowd , Eli looked at everyone calmly and continued , First of all , I want to make one thing clear .
Noelle is my sister , my real sister .
We share the same father and mother , and theres no truth to the rumors that were half siblings .
At his words , the room erupted in shock .
What ? Noelle is Elis full sister ? Doesnt the Anderson family only have one daughter ! If Noelle is Elis full sister , then what about Leia ? Is this for real ? Who spread the rumor that Noelle was an illegitimate child? That Thats insane Eli scanned the room full of students , all in an uproar , before continuing .
I hope from now on , everyone can think more rationally and not be misled by people with bad intentions Also , Noelle is an outstanding person , and I hope everyone can treat her kindly in the future and not reject her because of these rumors .
Whats Eli trying to say ? Is he implying that we cant think for ourselves ? Sound like it The rumor that Noelle is an illegitimate child is truly ridiculous , Should we blame ourselves ? The rumor has been spreading for days .
Some people asked Leia about it , and she didnt clear it up .
So what about Leia ! Whats her real identity ? Is she really the Anderson familys biological daughter ? All eyes turned to Leia as the conversation shifted to her , full of skepticism and doubt , Leia , whats going on ? One of Leias friends , still in shock , finally spoke up .
Leias friends had always believed that Noelle was an illegitimate child and had been spreading that around .
Now , Eli had come to clarify that Noelle was lus real sister .
That meant they had been the ones spreading lies .
Faced with their accusing stares , Leja couldnt say a word .
Everything feh dizzying .
It was as though the world was spinning around her .

Open She felt like she was losing From a distance , li noticed Leias pale face and her shocked expression , and a pang of guilt struck him .
The family had kept Noelles identity a secret to avoid hurting Leia .
Hut Eli had no choice .
The rumors that Noelle was an illegitimate child were everywhere in school .
If he didnt step in to clear things up , Noelle wouldnt get along here .
It didnt matter whether it was Leia or Noelle ; they were both his sisters , and Eli would treat them equally .
The students wont start bullying Leia just because of this , right ? he wondered .
Eli addressed the class again .
And also , Leia is my sister .
Please dont jump to any unnecessary conclusions .
Lets just focus on getting along as classmates here .
But Elis addition only seemed to raise more questions .
The students imaginations began to run wild .
Why would Eli go out of his way to add that ? Could Leias identity have another hidden truth they wondered .
Leia , Vivian , hearing Elis words , became even more anxious .
even more anxious .
Whats going here ! It felt as though Eli was trying to cover something up about Lela .
Everyone was now curious about Leias place in the Anderson family .
Leia couldnt stand the questioning glances from her classmates and friends .
She trembled , her eyes reddened , and before she could hold it together any longer , she ran out the back door of the classrOOOL .
Wait , Leial Elis heart tightened as he called after her .
Just as he was about to chase after her , a member of the student union approached and said .
Eh , what are you doing here ? Theres a meeting starting soon .
You need to go and host it right away .
Eli looked in the direction Leia had gone , torn between his responsibilities and his concern for her .
Noelle spoke up .
Eli , Ill go after her .
You go to your meeting Dont make things worse , Eli replied .
Leia was clearly shaken , and Noelles appearance would only make things more complicated for her .
Left with no choice , Eli quickly called Damon , asking him to go after Leia .
Once everything was taken care of , Eli headed to the student unions to attend the meeting Meanwhile , Noelle was surrounded by classmates who had stayed behind .
Noelle , so youre Elis real sister ? Sorry about before .
We thought you were an illegitimate child , and we didnt treat your well .
Please dont hold it against us .
Noelle was shocked by the sudden change in attitude .
These people really know how to switch things up , huh ? How ironic she wondered .
Even though Noelle found their behavior hypocritical , Nick had told her that being nice to people at school would help build her popularity .
If she could fit in well , members of the Anderson family would start seeing her in a better light , especially her father , Vincent .
Nick had said that Vincent was particularly vain and cared a lot about reputation .
Only if Noelle proved herself would her father start liking her .
Noelle smiled warmly , shaking her head .
Its okay .
You were just misled .
Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up , everythings fine .
Her classmates were taken aback by her calm and gracious response .
Noelle , youre so kind ? Yeah , I wouldve been crying by now if it were me .
Noelle still wore a radiant smile as she replied , Its okay .
I know you all were just misinformed , and deep down , youre good people .
So , I dont hold .
any grudges against you ! Everyone stared in shock , mesmerized by Noelles words .
She seemed to be surrounded by an almost divine glow like some kind of angel descended from above .
All of them silently thought to themselves , Wow .
Noelle really believes the best in people ! They couldnt help but feel a little guilty in comparison .
