Unwanted Girl Spoiled

Chapter 86 Elis face froze in shock .

Damon , you … Damon calmly met his gaze and asked , Eli , these past few days , have you been acting strange because you think Leias behavior is different from what you expected ? With one direct hit , Damon pierced straight to Elis core .

Elis expression stiffened , then he snapped back , Isnt it enough to be angry when the sweet , kind little sister I thought I knew turns out to be a completely different person ? Damon responded coolly , And have you ever considered that maybe this was all just your wishful thinking ? Wishful thinking ? Eli laughed bitterly .

Isnt it because Leias behavior made us all think this way in the first place ? When Noelle first came back , she was so gracious .

We all rejected Noelle , but she tried to stop us from being so harsh .

Now that were being a little nicer to Noelle , Leia starts getting jealous .

If she couldnt be gracious , she shouldnt have acted that way earlier .

But Damon rebutted , Do you really think she wanted to act that way ? When she found out she wasnt the Anderson familys biological daughter , can you imagine how terrified she mustve been ? If she had screamed and protested Noelles return , what would everyone have thought of her ? If she had been rejected , she wouldnt have had a place in this family .

Wait … Eli was momentarily speechless .

Damon continued , Ive known Leia didnt like Noelle , and I understand how she feels .

But you , Eli Leia is our sister , weve been together for over a decade .

How can you just start slandering her and pushing her away because of a few things shes said or done ? After all these years , is that all it takes for you to throw everything away ? Eli was at a loss for words .

Damons words were harsh but true .

However , something still didnt sit right with Eli .

His hand clenched into a fist by his side as he raised his eyes and asked , What about Noelle then ? What about her ? Damon frowned .

What do you mean , what about her ? Eli said , Leia doesnt like Noelle .

If she sees Noelle becoming more a part of this family , wont she do everything she can to protect her position by sabotaging Noelle ? Damon looked unimpressed .

Noelles powerful .

Who could possibly harm her ? Who couldnt harm her ? Eli snapped back .

This whole rumor thing its harm , isnt it ? Damon sneered .

You seriously think Noelles hurt by this ? Youre an idiot .

Shes pretending .

What ? Eli blinked in confusion .

Pretending ? Pretending to be hurt ? Exactly .

Shes pretending , Damon said bluntly .

Noelle is more thick skinned than you think .

You really believe those rumors could hurt her ? Shes just showing weakness in front of you to get you to clear things up for her .

How could that be ? Elis mind buzzed .

The Noelle he thought was innocent and naïve … could she really be that calculating ? Damon , seeing the shock on Elis face , softened his expression , then casually added , But of course , I dont think that girl has that many tricks up her sleeve .

Didnt you say she went to Nicolas earlier ? Hes probably the one feeding her these terrible ideas .

Nicolas … Elis anger flared again .

That bastard .

I knew it .

I shouldve known Noelle wouldnt get herself into trouble without him behind it .

If it werent for Nicolas , Noelle would probably be facing an even harder time at school … Eli looked at Damon and asked , Damon , even if Noelle is , as you say , thick skinned , the harm is still real .

This time its just verbal attacks , but what about next time ? If Noelle and Leia really go head to head , which side will you take ? Why are you asking such pointless questions ? Are you standing by Leia ? What about Noelle ? Eli stared at him intently , almost pleading .

But youve started to change your opinion of Noelle , havent you ? You may not admit it , but I can tell 1/3 Extra Check in Vouchers Ad Free Reading Exclusive Profile Войдо Chapter 86 you dont hate her as much as you used to .

If Leia wanted to destroy Noelle , would you still stand by her ? That question cut deep .

Damon furrowed his brow .

Why do you think so badly of Leia ? Sure , shes jealous , but shes just this fragile little girl what harm can she do ? You know Noelles skills , and Leia is no match for her .

What if she is ? Eli pressed on .

Who would you choose ? Damon didnt want to answer such a question .

He turned away , saying , This is pointless .

Why should I entertain an assumption with no basis ? Yes , Leias jealous , but I dont believe shed ever go as far as to harm someone .

With that , Damon walked off , leaving Eli standing there , watching his retreating figure .

Eli couldnt help but sigh .

Honestly , Damon had a point .

His assumptions had no evidence yet .

He could only hope that Leias jealousy was just that and that she wouldnt do something foolish .

Noelle wasnt wasting her weekend either .

With only five months left until the deadline for her mission , she knew she had to speed up her efforts to win over the Anderson family and make them like her .

Kimberly loved cooking , so whenever Noelle was home , shed join her in the kitchen , experimenting with new dishes .

When she learned that Vincent enjoyed chess , Noelle would make her way over to play with him .

After a game , shed even give him a head massage and prescribe herbal remedies to help him feel more energized.s , the little girl would go over and play chess with him .

At night , both Eli and Damon had the habit of running , so Noelle would stubbornly tag along , running with her two older brothers .

In short , Noelle made it her mission to align herself with the Anderson familys interests .

Whatever they liked , shed play along , making sure to win their favor .

Over the course of two days , her relationship with the parents and Eli improved significantly .

On Saturday night , the family gathered for dinner .

Noelle and Kimberly had cooked together , preparing a large spread .

The table was overflowing with delicious dishes , each looking more tantalizing than the last .

The moment the food was laid out , everyones mouths watered .

Mom , did you and Noelle make all of this ? Elis eyes went wide as he stared at the spread .

Kimberly beamed with pride .

Of course .

Surprised ? Eli nodded , still in shock .

He picked up piece of fish from the hot pot and tasted it .

It was silky smooth , just like from a restaurant .

This fish is amazing , he said , marveling at the taste .

Kimberly smiled warmly and hugged Noelle .

See ? Noelles a great teacher .

My cookings gotten so much better thanks to her .

Eli had heard about Noelles culinary skills , but tasting her cooking was a revelation , Wow , Noelle , you really are a master chef .

Noelle pouted slightly , pretending to be upset .

You didnt believe me before , did you ? Hey , Ive heard about it , but now Ive tasted it for myself , As he spoke , Eli picked up another piece of sweet and sour ribs , which was just as good as the fish .

Noelles not only a great cook , but her medical skills are top notch too , Eli remarked .

Vincent chimed in , The herbal remedy she gave me for my headaches I had our family doctor check it out .

He said its actually quite effective .

Apparently , the prescription is an old , nearly forgotten formula .

Dr.

Wu was so excited that he took it to the hospital for further study .

He turned to Noelle and asked , What else cant you do ? Noelle grinned , unashamed .

Theres nothing I cant do .

If I set my mind to it , I can learn anything .

Youre really full of yourself , Eli teased , but his eyes sparkled with admiration .

No , Im just being honest , Noelle said , her chin held high in pride .

Like chess .

I saw Dad likes it , so I only started learning this week .

This week ? Vincent was taken aback .

Noelle , your skill level is already at a national champion level ! Because Im a genius , Noelle boasted .

The Anderson family exchanged glances .

They knew Noelle could be a bit brash and overconfident , but her talent was undeniable .

Still , was it possible for an 18 year old to be this good at everything ? Leia , on the other hand , was having what she considered her own personal darkness descend .

The Noelle she had always dismissed as a fool was shattering her perceptions one after another .

She almost wished it were all a dream and that Noelle had never existed at all .

Now , as Noelle boasted about her latest accomplishments , Leias disbelief deepened .

She took a deep breath and , unable to hide her bitterness , forced a smile at Noelle .

Noelle , youre really something .

But werent you a dropout in middle school ? How did you end up knowing all these things ? What were you doing before ? I
