Eli was speechless.

He found it extremely amusing to see Leia still arguing back so confidently, looking all aggrieved.
In fact, she was the one who caused him to become like this.

Back when rumors about Noelle being an illegitimate daughter were spreading like wildfire, she pretended to know nothing and let things unfold as they pleased.
Now, she knew the consequences, yet she still deliberately exposed Noelle’s words in front of their classmates, trying to expand public opinion.
It was already so obvious that she was targeting Noelle, but she still expected him to stand on her side and cheer for her. It was ridiculous.
Still, Eli didn’t want to argue with Leia about this.
He continued to ask, “Even if I’m being biased, does that give you the right to recklessly expose Noelle’s words in front of your classmates? Have you thought about what she might face because of it?”
“What would she face?”
Leia blinked at Eli, her voice soft as she feigned innocence. “Eli, I only told everyone because I believe Noelle is the creator of The Shadows. Since it’s the truth, what’s there to be afraid of?”
“Leia, you…” Before Eli could finish his sentence, Leia cut him off.
She said, “Instead of lecturing me here, why don’t you tell Noelle to hurry up and find some evidence to prove she’s the real creator?”
With that, she covered her lips and let out a soft, melodious laugh.
She added with a playful tone, “By the way, the teacher said she’s going to hold those who spread false rumors accountable. Eli, you’d better have Noelic prepare herself soon. Otherwise, when the teacher gets serious, I won’t be able to help her.”
Now that things had completely fallen apart between her and Eli, Leia no longer bothered to keep up the act of being a sweet and obedient girl in
front of him.
Her provocative and smug demeanor left almost no trace of her former gentle and kind self.
Eli looked at her coldly and said nothing more.
Annoyed by Eli’s cold and disappointed expression, Leia said, “Looks like I’ve lost my appetite. I’ll go find my classmates instead. Take your time, Eli…”
With that, she turned and left.
After all, she had already achieved her goal of appearing close to Eli in front of others. Now that he was of no use to her, she no longer needed to
Care
From now on, she would keep climbing higher and higher.
She would ride on Reyna’s fame to reach the pinnacle of the entertainment industry.
At that time, she would no longer need to care about a mere student council president like Eli. In the Anderson family, she would no longer have to humble herself to please anyone.
Eli and Leia parted on bad terms.
After calling Noelle, Eli waited for her at their agreed meeting spot.
Before long. Noelle came hopping and skipping toward him. As she ran, she waved excitedly and greeted him with a bright smile, “Eli, Eli!”
After arguing with Leia, El was feeling rather down.
When he saw Noelle’s bright, beaming smile, he felt even more exhausted.
She had caused such a huge mess in the morning, but she could still smile that brightly.
As soon as she got closer, he flicked her forehead hard.
“Ouch” Noelle winced from the pain and quickly covered her head. Then, she looked at him aggrievedly and asked, “Eli, why did you flick my

head?”
Eli said angrily, “What do you think? It’s all your fault for saying in front of Charlie that you’re the creator of The Shadows. Now, your class is in an uproar. If this matter reaches Reyna’s cars, what are you going to do then?”
While waiting for Noelle, Eli had already been thinking of a way to fix the situation.
Since Charlie was set to collaborate with Reyna, he might as well explain things to her first. That way, out of respect for Charlie, Reyna would be less likely to hold a grudge against Noelle.
However, this would inevitably damage Noelle’s image in Charlie’s eyes.
But there was no other choice. Avoiding trouble was the top priority.
Hearing Eli’s words, Noelle widened her eyes in surprise. “Eli, you already know about this?”
“Of course. How could I not know about such a huge commotion?”
Leia was still angry.
At the same time, Eli felt relieved that he had found out about this early enough.
Since the matter did not blow up, he could still find a way to cover for this troublesome girl.
Seeing Eli looking like a worried old father, Noelle suddenly grinned from ear to ear. She giggled as she leaned in closer, her face full of mischief.
Eli shivered slightly. This girl’s smile was giving him the creeps.
He pushed Noelle’s face away and frowned. “What are you laughing at?”
Noelle kept grinning as she chirped, “Eli, I just realized. You really care about me!”
“Who cares about you?” Eli frowned and said proudly, “I’m just afraid that this matter will blow up and affect the Anderson family’s reputation!”
Even though he tried to distance himself with those words, Noelle still clung to him with a bright smile. She wrapped her arms around Eli’s arm and grinned. “Eli, stop denying it! I know you’re worried about me. You don’t want me to get in trouble, right?”
