No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric)

It didn't take long for Noelle to restore the deleted hotel surveillance footage. She glanced at the video in her hand. If it was released, Xenia's lies would be exposed. Just then, she received a message from Frank. "I've already talked to Xenia. She won't say anything else."

Noelle found the response laughable. How could Frank just brush off Xenia's mistakes so easily? It was ridiculous.

Feeling disappointed, Noelle deleted Frank's contact. Perhaps she should have done this long ago. During her live stream that evening, Noelle noticed several attacks from trolls. "How dare you use Ms. Liddell's identity to bully XenBaby and force her to apologize publicly?"

"Exactly! You even pushed XenBaby at the banquet, causing her serious injuries!"

Noelle wasn't angry as she read the comments. She replied calmly, "It's simple. Xenia is lying."

"How do you know XenBaby is lying? Do you have any proof?"

"Yeah, we all saw XenBaby get hurt. You're fine, though!"

Just then, a gift alert popped up in the live chat. When Noelle saw the name Team Luminark, a flash of annoyance crossed her face. She wondered why Lucas was here. She remembered how much he hated her at the banquet the day before. What did he want now?

Just then, Noelle received a private message from Lucas. "As long as you apologize to me, I'll testify to clear things up."

Noelle couldn't help but laugh. It was too ridiculous for him to ask her to apologize. She instantly replied, "Get lost!"

She had no intention of wasting more words on him.

Lucas saw the reply and furiously slammed his keyboard. "Let's see how you explain this, Noelle. This is your fault for not backing down. Don't blame me."

Frank had asked him to clear things up in the stream, but since Noelle was acting like this, he saw no reason to help. She wouldn't even acknowledge him as her brother.

On the stream, Noelle looked at her screen and said, "I have the surveillance footage from last night's party. I'll upload it soon, and everyone will understand what really happened." After uploading the video, the game's ranked match began.

Noelle focused entirely on her game without thinking about the video at all. She finished nearly every match in just a few minutes. Her fans watching her stream before the match were amazed.

"Do you guys notice how fired up SweetNelly is today?"

"I bet some people are deliberately slandering her, which is making her mad. She's taking it out on the players in her matches. They're getting destroyed."

"SweetNelly is a total match killer."

No one could match her skill.

Essentially, she was the best simply

because there could only be onenoveldrama

person in the first place. She played through the matches and ranked in the top 10 before stopping for a

break and a drink.

Just then, Rachel messaged her. "Xenia deleted the comments from earlier today and subtly said it was all a misunderstanding. She said it wasn't what she meant."

At that moment, Noelle noticed Xenia's name pop up in the live chat.

Xenia's stream name was XenBaby.

She sent a gift and sarcastically said, "Noelle, it was all a misunderstanding. I've explained to the fans that it was my fault, and I'm sorry Let's stop this nonsense."

Noelle glanced at the message and coldly replied, "If you know you're wrong, then leave. My livestream isn't a place for you. Don't come to leech off it."
