Chapter 99
Noelle didn’t react to seeing Frank and Lucas
She looked at Michael andealmly said, “Let’s sched·le another time for a proper discussion
Michael nodded before turning to face Lucas. “What? Did I say something wrong If I had a sister with this level of talent, I would have pampered her like a treasure and supported her in every way possible. Unlike some people, I wouldn’t ignore a capable sibling while bending over backward for a fake sister who’s utterly useless. Isn’t that the definition of losing the big picture for petty palm?”
Lucas‘ face darkened. “You don’t know anything! You have no idea what’s going
He wasn’t ignoring Noelle. Instead, he wished more than anyone for Noelle to stay in Team Luminak for the finals. He was just having a slight conflict with her, that’s all
After Michael left, coaches of other teams approached Noelle to talk, even oldering their business cards.
Lucas was left alone at the side, watching silently as everyone sought Noelle’s attention.
He felt that if Noelle turned them all den and refused to join Team Celestial, he would apologize and forgive her for how she had lied to him.
Noelle was left with a stack of business cards, which she didn’t expect.
“Noelle, congratulations.” After the crowd dispersed, Frank was the only one who dared to grup and talk to her. He observed her cautiously and realized that she had changed a lot. Noelle lined her head and glanced at Frankbriefly. “Thanks.”
Lucas couldn’t help but step forward and ask, “Noelle, you still haven’t answered my question. Why did you keep this from me? Was it fun for you?”

Noelle looked at him and saw a trace of wase in Lucas‘ eyes. She thought it was rare to see him rattled and v
to repeat what you said in my room that day?
Her voice was calm, yet to Lucas, it was like a sharp blade cutting deep to his beart. He winced as he called what he had said that day. The harsh words he had thrown at he come back to bite them.
His eyes turnedred “Then why didn’t you tell me then?”
“I didn’t feel obligated to.”

“Not obligated?” Lucas took a step forward to block Noelle. “I’m your brother. I thought our conflicts were never a serious problems. I admit I said the wrong things that day, but you could have just said something! Why didn’t you tell me the truth?
He believed that if Noelle had told him them, everything else that happened afterward would not have happened. Perhaps she wouldn’t have even gone to Firestorm.
Noelle said nothing, only taking a few steps back to put some distance between them
The coldness in her retreat saddened Lucas
Rachel, who was standing nearby, said sarcastically, “For years, Noella endured endless unfair treatment because of that manipulative woman, Kenia. Now that you’re finally feeling à Traction of her pain, you can’t handle it? Imagino what she’s been through all these years!?
Locas instinctively mapped. “That’s why I’m asking her None of this would have happened if she’d spoken up earlier!”
Rachel’s voice rose. “So you’re saying that this is all her fault?“
“Is it?” Lucas blurted, but his gaze dated to Noelle gaihily. “We’re family. We could have just talked and worked things out. You hid your identity and went live on Firestorm just in spite
me, didn’t you?”
Noelle’s eyes lilted sightly. “that’s what you want to think, I won’t try to change your mind.”
