Chapter 526 Tilly had worked in public relations for quite stime, so she naturally recognized most public figures.

Noelle recalled how Donovan had abruptly stopped her during her last press conference and that she had once mentioned the press conference back in her dorm. She began to wonder if Micah had tipped him off.

Noelle asked, "How much do you know about her?" Tilly replied, "Nothing much, really, considering how rarely she ever shows up in public, let alone attend any events. From what I've heard, Ms. Cantrell's life was tragic.

"After her mother passed away, she got a stepmother and, with it, a stepfather. Her stepmother treated her well, but it just couldn't compare to her real mother." "Why do you say so?" Noelle asked.

Tilly explained, "I've heard that Mia Cantrell becwithdrawn because of her mobility issues and rarely spoke to others. Sfolks even say that there's something off about her.

"Her stepmother kept her well hidden and, later on, even prepared an arranged marriage for her. I thought it was a good thing at first, but it turned out that her fiance was your eldest brother, Donovan. He's not the best person there is, and he's so much older than her, too." Tilly had already investigated the Liddell family thoroughly ever since she started working for Noelle. She knew that she could speak about Donovan bluntly after she learned about his character.

Noelle nodded and said, "So she's Mia Cantrell? What a coincidence. I knew her as Micah, my roommate. It was probably her who overheardtalking about the press conference and thus served as a whistleblower to Donovan." "She's your roommate?! It would seem that the Cantrells probably planned all of this with the hopes that the two of you would interact with one another, all the while having her take on a different nfor safety reasons. They probably had no idea that you were falling out badly with your family," Tilly replied.

Noelle had thought of the spossibility as well.

But she had barely interacted with Mia back in the dorm. They rarely spoke to one another, and Mia's presence was practically non-existent.

Mia hardly ever left the room except to attend classes, and all her meals were delivered right to their doorstep. Noelle had once wondered about why someone from such a well-off family would have to stay in a dorm. Everything finally made sense now.

Tilly continued, "Ms. Liddell, you should be more careful about what you say in the dorm from now on." "I know," Noelle replied.

She watched as Donovan and Mia entered a restaurant together, most likely to have a meal.

It was apparent that Donovan had reached out to the Cantrell family to clean up Xenia's mess.

After leaving the cafe, Noelle headed straight to the esports team base to oversee the team's training.

She watched the team practice for a short while and noticed that everyone had been improving rapidly. Firestorm had informed Noelle that she could start streaming again, but she simply did not have the tto do So.

Meanwhile, the Cantrell family had likely learned of her reconciliation with the Liddell family from Donovan and won't be making any mo moves. en Just then, Noelle received a text message from Cedric. "What are you doing?" "I'm training at the esports team base. I'm feeling a little hungry, though," she replied.

She had skipped lunch and had only eaten sdessert at the cafe, so she was feeling a little starved.

"Wait for me," he replied.

Noelle stared at his text message, wondering what Cedric had meant by that.

But she soon stopped dwelling on it as her ghad started.

Not long after, Grace walked into the bag in hand.

team base with a lake a break and "Hey, everyone! Let's enjoy ssnacks! It's @treat from Noelle's boyfriend!" Noelle could not help but laugh out loud. She could not believe that he even bought extra for everyone at the team base.

She snapped a photo of the food and sent it to Cedric. "Got it. Thanks, boss!" "Shouldn't it be 'thanks, love'?" he replied.

Sitting in his office, Cedric smirked as he read her messages.

He then sent another text. "Dinner tonight?" Noelle really wanted to meet Cedric, 1.n

but she was too busy to do so. "I have a meeting tonight to plan our team's training schedule. Were m representing our university in the competition next month, so we can't afford to lose! How about tomorrow instead?" More importantly, she wanted to know what Cedric was trying to tell her back then.

Suddenly, a voice rang out. "Noelle, someone's looking for you."

Noelle then looked up to find Laura Merlock walking into the team base. Laura looked at Noelle and said, "Can we talk in private?"
