That dell was , of course , Noelle .
Wow ..
The team members couldnt help but gasp in admiration as they watched her approach .
One of them timed to Damon and said , Damon , is that your sister ! Shes stunning Hervoir is so sweet .
She looks like the clingy y little sister type : No wonder Damons a sister obsessed guy .
Who wouldnt adore a sister like her ? Hut another team member raised a question .
Wait , thats weird .
Ive met Damons sister before , and she didnt look like this .
Hob ? What do you mean ? The others looked at Damon for clarification Damon , however , wore a dark expression as he stared at Noelle running toward them , his face devoid of any warmth .
Damon , you got first place ! Congratulations ! Noelle stopped in front of Damon , beaming as she congratulated him .
In front of everyone , Damon didnt bother to hide his irritation .
His voice was icy as he said , What are you doing here ? The race is over .
You should leave Seeing Damons soure sour expression and harsh tone , Noelle pouted and replied , I just wanted to congratulate you .
Well , youve said it now .
You can go .
Damon said coldly .
Oh Noclles cheerful demeanor dimmed as she quietly nodded The team members , noticing Damons attitude toward Noelle , began to feel uncomfortable .
Brice nudged Damon with his elbow , trying to case the tension .
Whats going on , Damon ! Your sisters here to celebrate with you , and you cant inven give her a friendly face ? Without waiting for Damons reply , Brice turned to Noelle and introduced himself .
Hi there , little sis .
Whats y your name ? My name i or is Noelle Noelle looked at Brice and responded politely , her sweet demeanor instantly softening his heart .
Brice was charmed by Noelles innocent smille .
Grinning , he introduced himself .

Okay , Hello , Brice , Nuelle replied in a cheerful tone .

If youre free , would you like to join us ? Hearing this , Noelles eyes lit up Rrally , Brice ? Can I go ? Before Brice could fish .
Damon cut him off sharply .
Brice , what are you are you doing ? Why are you inviting her to the party ! Whats wrong but she pour sister ? Brice shot back .
barely .
Damon stoppard mid sentence , his gaze inadvertently meeting Noelles .
Noelle was looking at him quicily , her clear , innocent eyes shining with a mix of curiosity and sincerity .
She stood there without complaint or pretense , her expression almost childlike in its simplicity .
Fora micanent , Dainon faltered As much as he disliked in , loathed Noelle , he couldnt bring himself to berate her in front of everyone .
1/3 Chapter 54 Doing so would only make him look petty .
And exposing family conflicts in public ? That wasnt his style .
With a resigned sigh .
Damon muttered .
Tine .
Do whatever you want .
There we go ? Brice laughed and turned back to Noelle .
Noelle , youre coming to the party , then !! Okay Noelle agreed enthusiastically , thinking this was a good opportunity to bond with Damon She suddenly remembered something and asked , Trice , will there be me Meat ! Brice blinked , then burst out laughing when when he saw the eager look in her eyes .
Of course ! Therell be plenty of meat Yay ! Noelle cheered .
This was turning out to be a great day .
When Kimberly heard that Noelle would be joining Damons team for the victory party , she was pleased .
Clearly , she hoped this would help the siblings build a better relationship .
Damon , Noelles unfamiliar with this place .
place .
As her older brother , you need to take care of her , understand ? Kimberly said before they left .
Damon , however , wore a sour expression .
Mom , Im the star of the party .
Ill have plenty of people to deal with .
How can I have time to babysit her ! Besides Noelles an adult .
She can take care of herself Kimberlys smile disappeared , What kind of attitude is that ? Im just being honest .
Isnt it better than pretending to agree and then ignoring her ? Damon countered You little .
Kimberly looked ready to smack him .
Noelle stepped in with a cheerful smile .
Its okay , Mom .
Damons right .
I can take care of myself .
Dont worry Noelle Kimberly looked at her daughters sunny , unbothered face , and her heart warmed .
She gave Noelle a final reminder .
Take care of yourself , and if anything happens , dont hesitate to ask Damon for help .
Dont be shy .
I wont , Mom .
Dont worry : Noelle replied brightly .
After Kimberly left , Noelle followed the team to the party venue .
As Brice had promised , the buffet w was par acked with delicious meats steaks , shrimp , and more unlimited supply .
The flavors were excellent , and Noelle happily indulged , completely forgetting her original plan to bond with Damon .
As she prepared to tackle her third steak , two team members suddenly sat down on either side of her .
Our of them n held a bottle of wine and smiled Noelle , just eating meat is no fun .
How about a drink ? Youre old enough , right ? No thanks , Noelle replied , her mouth full of steak .
I dont like alcohol .
She had tried it before out of curiosity but found it too harsh and unpleasant .
Aw , come on .
This is just e champagne a sweet , fruity drink with barely any alcohol Cirls love it rally Norlle asked , skeptical Try it and see for yourself One of the men poured a glass and handed it to her .
Oh .
Noelle took the glass , still unsure .
She dipped her tongue into the golden liquid and tasted it .
Her eyes lit up instantly .
It really is sweet ! Sert We werent lying Mm hmm .
Delighted by the taste , Noelle drank the whole glass .
2/3 9:32 AM C Chapter 1 Before she could set the glass down , the man refilled it .
Here , have another .
As the star of the party .
Damon wasnt lying w when h he said hed be busy .
A constant stream of people came up to him for toasts and conversation .
Finally managing to escape the crowd , he remembered that Noelle was here .
Though he didnt care much , he figured he should check on her .
If she went back and complained to Kimberly , it would only give him a headache .
Scanning the room .
Damon spotted Noelle in a corner .

She was flanked by two team members , surrounded by five or six empty bottles of wine .
The men were still encouraging her to drink Wow , Noelle ! Youre amazing what a high tolerance .
Come on , lets keep going ! Yeah , another glass ! Noelle , her cheeks flushed pink , was clearly tipsy but still smiling .
She accepted each drink they handed her , gulping them down one after another .
From a distance , Damon watched as the two men leaned closer to Noelle , their smiles a little too eager .
His brows furrowed tightly .
