Alright , Ill come find you later , Ell said . For what ? Noelle asked Well talk about in later . You go ahead and go to class now , Eli said . Okay Noelle nodded . She silently double checked in her mind , making sure she had said everything Nick taught her , before feeling reassured and heading back to class . In the classroom , Leia was chatting with some classmates when she noticed Noelle had returned . Thats odd . Didnt Noelle say she was going to find Nicolas ? How is she luck in time for afternoon classes ! Lela thought . But Harley left after lunch and still hasnt shown up . Hey , Leia , I heard Eli took you to the student union at lunch and wants to promote you . Is that true ? a girl named Vivian suddenly asked . Leia snapped d back to reality and gave her a reluctant smile as she said .

Lela , afraid Noelle might cause trouble , quickly forced a smile and winked at Noelle . Noelle , we were just joking . Dont take it the wrong way . Noelle glanced at Leia , blinked , and replied bluntly . I do take it the wrong wa Leias smile instantly froze .
Whats going on with Noelle ? Did something happen with Nicolas , and now shes coming here to vent on me ? she wondered . The people around them noticed the sudden tension in the air and immediately turned to look . Huh ? Whats going on ? I dont know , the atmosphere just got really tense all of a sudden Its almost time for class . Whos going to try and calm them down Who dares Noelles tough . She can be really scary Seeing everyones gaze shift to her , Leia couldnt help but feel a surge of hatred toward Noelle . This bitch cant feel at ease unless she makes a scene , right Leia forced a polite smile on her face , but her hands were clenched tightly into fists . Noelle , stop making trouble , okay ? Lets just pretend Vivian mis poke . Im sorry . Will that work for you ? Leia why are you apologizing ! Vivian felt discontent as she wondered , I didnt say anything wrong . Noell background is lowly . an illegitimate child . Her Alright Lela glanced at Vivian , feeling increasingly irritated . How stupid you are ! Why did you have to say that in front of Noelle ? Idiot ! Vivian caught the warning look in Leias eyes and quickly backed off But Noelle wasnt so easy to dismiss . She shot a glance at Vivian and turned to Leia . Whoever made the mistake should apologize . Why are you apologizing ? I want her to apologize to me Noelle , why are you still making such a big deal out of this ?

Why should I apologizel What did I say wrong ! I just walked up . and you deliberately said lowly background so that I would hear it . Noelle stated flatly . Vivian sneered . Yeah , right . What a coincidence . I didnt expect you to walk up just as I said that . And anyway , some people really do have lowly backgrounds . Does anyone think thats wrong ? Many students in the class , influenced ed by Leia , believed that Noelle was an illegitimate child , while Leia was the legitimate heir . Although Vivians words were unpleasant , they didnt seem entirely off base Noelle thought for a moment , then suddenly felt a sense of clarity , nodding as she said . Well , youre right .

Vivian , that was too much . Dream Road Romance . Open G Chapter 76 Too much ? Vivian froze , clearly taken aback by Leias reaction . She snapped . Are you really going to defend Noelle ? Please , a bastard like her : acting all high and mighty in front of you ! If it were me , I wouldve slapped that bitch already Lelas expression darkened even more , and she simply ignored Vivian , shifting her seat to the side and clearly signaling that she didnt want to talk . Vivian felt completely confused . What is wrong with Leia she wondered . But as the class started , Vivian lud no choice but to bottle up her frustration . Two classes later , when the instructor left and the students were about to leave the classroom , a tall figure entered . The girls immediately perked up , whispering excitedly . Elis here !

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 .

Leia , are you also aware of the rumor about Noelle being an illegitimate child ? Eli frowned at Leia . His gaze became noticeably sharper . Leias recent behavior had left Eli feeling quite dissatisfied . Eli had always thought Leia was kind hearted , but some of her recent actions contradicted that perception . Damon remained silent but looked at Leia , clearly waiting for her answer . Lela neve never expected things to turn out this way . Given Damons impulsive and irritable nature , when he lost his temper , no amount of persuasion could sway him . Logically , he should have already caused a scene with Eli at school , and the two would have parted on bad terms . But unexpectedly , they could sit down face to face and calmly explain the situation . Thinking of this . Leias resentment toward Noelle grew . That stupid bitch ! Its all because she suddenly appeared and dragged Damon away . Otherwise , things wouldnt have turned out like this . But what bothered Leia the most was that Damons attitude toward Noelle changed . Didnt he used to hate her to death ? Leia thought . He even threatened to kill Noelle for me . But this time , not only did Damon not want to kill her , but he was even quite indulgent toward her ! The more Lela thought about it , the more absurd she felt During these days of school activities , could something have happened that I didnt know about ! Leia , say something ? Seeing that Lela didnt say a word , Eli couldnt help but think of those rumors and her coming to school with Darnon . Although Eli didnt want these things to have anything to do with her emotionally , his reason told him that Lela must have been involved in this matter Lela was panicking now . She put her hands on her knees , rubbed her skirt hard , shook h head . and murmured . No , I dont know Are you sure you dont know ? Eli didnt believe it . Just now , Noelle said that a classmate told her a person with a dishonorable background will always be dishonorable . Didnt you hear it ? Arent you curious why the classmate said that to her ? When Eli questioned her , Leia felt both suffocated and wronged . the past She thought , I was the one who was wronged today . Why are they all questioning met Eli would never do this if it were in th Leja didnt know how to respond , so she looked at Damon pitifully , hoping that Darpon would speak for her . Damon … However , as soon as she turned to look at Damon , she saw a hint of scrutiny in Damons eyes as he looked at her and asked , Lela , are you aware that Noelle is rumored to be an illegitimate child ? Leias heart skipped a beat . When Eli questioned me like that , shouldnt Damon have stood up for me and cared for my feelings ! Since when did he care so much about Noelle ? The more Leia thought about it , the angrier she got . Holding her breath , she refused to admit it and said , I dont know . I dont know anything With that , Lria looked at Noelle with red eyes again and asked with a choked voice , Noelle , what do you mean ? Are you trying to say that I knew others were spreading rumors about you being an illegitimate child but deliberately didnt help you clarify ? Am I such a bad person in your eyes ex
