Chapter 55 After a brief pause , Noelle turned back and said , Go ahead and tell them .
Her response left William stunned .
Before he could react , Noelle had already walked away .
Furious , William slammed his hand on the table and got up to follow her , only to be stopped by a waiter .
Sir , you havent settled your bill yet .
What bill ? I didnt even order anything ! Sir , even without ordering , we still charge a seating fee , said the waiter , his eyes scanning William with unconcealed disdain .

William trembled with anger .
He was about to slap his bank card which held his last 50 thousand dollars onto bankcard the waiters face when another voice interjected , Ill take care of it .
Hearing the voice , Williams expression shifted abruptly .
He turned around to see Sandra handing her card to the waiter .
She then turned and smiled at him .
You must be Mr.
Kaplan , right ? And you are ? Im Noelles sister , Sandra .
Ah , the little orphan the Swansons picked up .
William sneered , his gaze roaming over Sandra .
What ? You got something to say to me ? Williams gaze and tone made Sandras skin crawl , but she kept her composure , smiling faintly as she said , Mr.
Kaplan , I overheard your conversation with Noelle just now Oh ? And ? Youre in need of money now , arent you ? Sandra grinned before continuing , I have an idea to make Noelle willingly support you .
Would you like to hear it ? Noelle walked out of the restaurant with hurried footsteps , as if she were running from something terrifying .
In reality , she knew that William could no longer truly hurt her .
She wasnt the powerless little girl who didnt know how to fight back anymore .
Yet , seeing him again still instilled fear in her .
Like a young elephant tied to a stake , she felt like she would never be able to escape that stake for the rest of her life .
Her anxiety caused her to dash across the street without checking for traffic .
A car screeched to a halt , nearly knocking into her .
Are you crazy ? the driver shouted at her .
Noelle didnt respond and simply kept walking forward .
The driver continued cursing , but she didnt hear a word .
It wasnt until much later , when she finally calmed down , that she noticed her phone ringing .
She stared at the name on the screen for a long time before deciding to answer the call .
You finally picked up , came a relieved voice .
Where have you been these past two days ? I kept calling , but your phone was off .
I even asked your father , and he said you were sick .
Im … fine .
I wanted to visit , but your father refused .
Is it … because you dont want to see me ? Liam asked .
No , Noelle answered briskly .
Liam didnt press further , though his displeasure at her sudden disappearance was clearly reflected in his voice .
Noelle decided to take this opportunity to clear things up , but before she could begin , Liam spoke again , Are you free tomorrow ? Lets have dinner .
I have something to tell you .
His tone was serious , and Noelle knew that she owed him an explanation .
So , she agreed , Okay .
