Chapter 1498


    Noel thought about entering the room to check on her, but he didn’t know what identity to assume while


    doing so.


    Was he a friend? Or fiance, based on Sue’s words?


    Ceciliay on the bed, her face pale. Destion flickered in her eyes.


    “Do you find me disgusting?”


    Noel had hesitated, but he hadn’t meant for Cecilia to interpret his actions that way. “I’ll go call someone


    for help.”


    He didn’t exin further, and turned to leave the room.


    Soon, a servant came upstairs. Cecilia looked behind the servant but found no sign of Noel.


    He had left.


    Even if her mother had agreed to her request and brought up the marriage with Noel, he didn’t agree.


    Sue sat downstairs, still feeling uneasy. As she dressed and applied makeup, she used the time to calm


    her panicked heart.


    However, Cecilia’s words lingered in her ears. “Mom, I’ve been vited. If you don’t let Noel marry me,


    I’ll kill myself!”

    “Madam,” the servant reminded her as she seemed lost in thought. “Mrs.


    Lambert, whom you’re scheduled to meet, is already here…”


    “Alright.” Sue picked her favorite blue ice crystal from her jewelry, and quickly went out to meet Mrs.


    Lambert.


    She handed the crystal to her with a smile and said, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Lambert.


    Cecilia… has already fallen in love with someone. I invited you over without considering it thoroughly and


    didn’t understand my daughter’s feelings…”


    Before she could finish, Mrs. Lambert’s expression changed drastically. She didn’t ept Sue’s friendly


    gesture.


    “Which family is this young man from?”


    Sue knew Mrs. Lambert would ask this question.


    Reluctantly, she had to answer, “It’s not…”


    A trace of embarrassment shed across her face, and she changed her mind.


    “It’s the Fulchers…”


    “The Fulcher family?!”


    Mrs. Lambert didn’t wait for Sue to finish her sentence. Her eyes widened. “I’ve heard that the Fulchers


    have an illegitimate son. Could this person be the one your daughter likes?”


    The Fulcher family had an illegitimate child?!


    Doubt shed in Sue’s eyes, but she concealed it well. “Yes, exactly.”


    Sue hastily agreed. She didn’t want others to look down on them because of Noel’s identity.


    “Oh my…” As soon as Mrs. Lambert heard that the young man Cecilia had fallen in love with was rted


    to the Fulcher family, herplexion changed slightly.


    However, she quickly changed her unpleasant expression from entering the door and started chatting


    with Sue. Facing her enthusiasm, Sue was truly surprised that the Fulcher family could still have such


    influence.


    Originally…


    Because of Jim, Sue didn’t want to have any connection with the Fulchers.


    However, with Cecilia in such a situation, avoiding involvement was no longer an option.


    At Larry’s house, Noel had already broken ten of Larry’s fingers. Since Sue wouldn’t step up to y the


    viin, he had to do it himself.


    “You said you didn’t touch her?”


    Larry cried in pain, thinking that Cecilia was just a girl from the slums who would be infatuated with him


    for some benefits.


    Who knew she had such a powerful background?!


    When the men rushed in, Larry was scared silly. This time, the neighbors, sensing that something was


    wrong, didn’t intervene. Larry was forced to call the police, but the line was busy.


    Then, he was tied up and pressed to the ground. Next came the man who had taken Cecilia away.


    He returned like a demon, full of anger. As soon as he entered, he demanded all ten of Larry’s fingers.


    Larry was in pain, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He was still trying to defend himself


    through gritted teeth.


    “I didn’t! I really didn’t do anything to her. I just wanted to marry her. She agreed, and even came to my


    house. She…”


    Snap!


    Noel didn’t want to hear him babble too much. “Tell me everything that happened after you and Cecilia


    came here without missing a detail, or I’ll cut off your tongue!”


    When Noel mentioned cutting off his tongue, Larry really believed Noel. He started to feel afraid.


    After thinking about it, he told Noel everything.


    Then, he said, “Can’t you see she was interested in me?”


    Noel and the group of bodyguards listened with great incredulity. They now understood that Larry was a


    man with serious psychological issues.


    After Larry’s ex-girlfriend had upset him deeply, he wanted to get married and find someone not inferior


    to Lulu.


    He also interpreted others’ kindness and goodwill as indulgence toward him, and permission for him to


    harm them.
