Noelle and Cedric Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Cedric lounged lazily in his chair as he slowly lowered his gaze. He replied, "I'm not sure as well." "It really wasn't you that taught her how to do it step by step in secret?" asked Alfred.
"She said that she learned it herself." Alfred was extremely shocked. "No way! Did she really learn that by herself? Plenty of people have been trying to learn from you ever since you made it famous with your 12-hit combo, but no one's been able to actually learn it no matter how hard they tried." Anyone who had played the role of a gunner knew just how difficult it was to learn King's 12- hit combo! It required not just talent but also a sharp mind.
Unless they were personally taught by King himself, of course. But hardly anyone could ever acquire such a privilege. And thus, no one had ever managed to learn it by themselves.

Cedric's long fingers lightly tapped the table as he said, "She's brilliant and talented." He believed that Noelle would even surpass him in the future.
Once classes were over, Noelle headed to the school gate. Aiden was already respectfully waiting for her outside the car. She turned to glance at the infirmary before climbing into the vehicle.
When she returned to the Liddell residence, she looked around and felt rather unfamiliar. In her previous life, she had cherished her hand family more than anything else. But now, she felt like a stranger in that place.
Noelle entered the main hall. Frank stood up and greeted her. "Oh, Noelle, you're back! Let's eat! I've already had the kitchen prepare your favorites." "I'll be eating in my room from now on," said Noelle before heading upstairs.
Frank turned to Gordon and said, "Prepare a portion for her and take it upstairs to her room.* Gordon was rather displeased. "Mr. Frank, it's clear that Ms. Liddell has an issue with Ms. Quigley. If word gets out, people might think that Ms. Liddell doesn't want Ms. Quigley at the dinner table." Xenia quickly replied, "What are you talking about, Gordon? I'm sure that Noelle simply prefers eating in her own room to save time." "You're way too kind, Ms. Quigley." Frank frowned and said, "It's fine. If she doesn't eat downstairs, so be it. Nobody will know about what happens inside our house so long as we don't talk about it anyway." Gordon finally fell silent, albeit unwillingly. Xenia began to feel uneasy as she noticed the shift in Frank's demeanor. She could not afford to lose being their favorite.
Xenia cleared her throat with a cough and said, "Frank, I tried making smedicinal congee. Would you like to try it? I know it's not as good as Noelle's, but I'll keep practicing to improve it." Frank immediately softened up to Xenia. "You really don't have to trouble yourself." "It's no trouble. Your stomach isn't doing well, Frank. So you should take better care of it. I'll help care for you in Noelle's place until she calms down." Xenia was looking rather pale as she had not yet fully recovered. Frank smiled sincerely and replied, "It's the thought that counts.
He tasted Xenia's medicinal congee and immediately felt that it was far below Noelle's. Nevertheless, he still ate a few spoonfuls of it so as not to offend Xenia.

Meanwhile, Noelle entered her room and immediately noticed that her belongings had been tampered with. She was extremely displeased and decided not to dwell on it as she would soon be moving away. Gordon brought a tray of food to Noelle's room. "Ms. Liddell, your dinner is here."
He could not help but speak his mind as he continued, "If I may be blunt, Ms. Liddell. Yo re finally returned hafter so long, so why not have dinner together with everyone else? If word were to get out, people might think that you're deliberately avoiding Ms. Quigley and refusing to share a table with her." Noelle looked at Gordon with annoyance.
She felt that Gordon had always favored Xenia more than anyone else, to the point of treating the latter as if she were his daughter.
In Noelle's past life, Gordon had helped Xenia with all her schemes, all which always resulted in Noelle being blamed for everything. Noelle's eyes turned ice cold as she raised her hand and knocked the food tray out of Gordon's hands.
