No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1258

Although she'd successfully weathered the crisis now, Laura didn't dare to aggressively raise money like before, afraid of attracting unwanted attention. And all of this was because Noelle wanted to take down PZ Group.

Noelle wore a mocking expression. "Wow, Ms. Merlock. You actually know the term 'toxic friend.' Seems like you've got a pretty clear understanding of who you are."

Laura gritted her teeth. "Noelle, I'm warning you not to play any more tricks. If you anger my boss, even the Greene family won't be able to protect you."

Cedric's cold gaze swept across Laura. "Why don't we test that? Let's see if PZ Group can protect you."

Laura was fuming, clenching her hands so hard that her nails dug into her skin. The sight of Cedric and Noelle holding hands made her stomach churn.

During this period, she'd been living high again and had gradually forgotten the humiliation she'd once endured. Yet, every time she saw Noelle, it brought her back to reality.

Laura gritted her teeth, silently saying, "Noelle, just wait! Once the company closes the net, they definitely won't let you off."

...

Noelle and Cedric went to a private dining room upstairs. She looked at Cedric. "It seems Laura's been doing well lately."

Cedric replied, "Under Mrs. Cantrell's PR spin, PZ Group's looking squeaky clean. Right now, they're riding a wave of popularity, especially domestically. But it won't last. The moment the truth hits, Mrs. Cantrell's reputation will crash and burn."

Noelle remarked, "Her social status might buy her time, but it won't protect her forever. I'm honestly looking forward to her reaction when the news drops. It's bound to be dramatic."

Cedric poured juice for Noelle and agreed, "Most relationships in high society are based on mutual interests anyway. Once those interests are damaged, the relationships naturally break down."

"If Mrs. Cantrell goes bankrupt and has no money, she'll never have a say in the Cantrell family again. That would be good news for Mia," Noelle said.

Cedric smiled. "That's true. Mia could take this opportunity to return to Cantrell Corporation since she's the rightful successor anyway."

Noelle began figuring out how to help Mia successfully reclaim everything. She looked up at Cedric and asked, "Laura's just a small-time leader now. Do you think she has noticed anything about PZ Group's fraud scheme?"
