Chapter 202

At night, Noelle and Bennett had just returned to the Anderson’s villa. Coincidentally, Leia also returned.

Kimberly was a little surprised to see her two daughters back.

She smiled and said, “Noelle, Leia, you’re back? No more classes at school?”

When Leia heard Kimberly mention Noelle first, she felt very upset. I am older. Why did she mention Noelle first? Mom is so biased.

Noelle rushed to Kimberly and said with a smile, “There are classes, but they are boring, so I skipped.”

“Huh?” Kimberly was a bit surprised. “Come on, you shouldn’t skip, even if they are boring. You are lucky that your dad isn’t home. He is stubborn. He would be mad if he knew.”

“Mom, don’t tell Daddy!” Noelle smiled.

“Okay,” Kimberly agreed.

Then, her gaze landed on Leia. She looked puzzled and said, “Leia, did you skip class too?”

In Kimberly’s heart, Leia was a good girl. Leia had never skipped class in the past. She was a good student.

At this moment, Leia was furious. Although she would not vent her anger on Kimberly, her words were a little sarcastic. She squeezed out a smile and said, “Mom, Noelle can skip class, can’t I?”

“Well…” Kimberly choked when she heard that.

She looked at Leia in a daze. She felt that something had changed about Leia. Leia was gentle, but now, she was a bit mean.

Kimberly understood why Leia changed, though. After all, after Noelle returned, they had paid more attention to Noelle. It was acceptable for Leia to feel unbalanced.

Therefore, Kimberly only smiled and said gently to Leia, “Alright, alright, alright. It’s not a big deal to skip one class or two.”

At this moment, Vincent came downstairs.

A dark glint flashed across Leia’s eyes. She knew that Vincent cared about etiquette the most.

Hence, she deliberately raised her voice and said, “Mom, it’s not just one or two classes.”

“What?” Kimberly did not understand.

Leia glanced at Noelle, blinked, and said, “Noelle has skipped more than 20 classes since school started. Now, several teachers are unhappy.”

Noelle saw Leia start to target her again.

Noelle blinked, putting on a playful, mocking expression, “Leia, it’s wrong for me to skip class, so you decided to do it too? As an older sister, you didn’t stop me, but you joined me instead. What’s the point? Are we in some kind of competition? Also, why are you so loud? Are you trying to draw attention?”

“You!” Leia was so angry that she trembled. Bitch! She is always against me.

Mom didn’t reprimand Noelle. That is so biased of her. Leia’s heart was full of hatred and resentment.

“What? Did the two of you skip class?” At this moment, Vincent walked over.

When Kimberly saw her husband coming downstairs, she was afraid that he would reprimand her two daughters. She quickly said, “Vincent, the children just occasionally skipped a class. Don’t be too serious.”

“I haven’t said anything yet. Why are you so anxious?” Vincent looked at his wife helplessly.

Then, his gaze landed on Leia. He said seriously, “Leia, why did you skip class too? You never did so. Did you learn it from Noelle?”

Leia’s eyes instantly turned red as she said indignantly, “Dad, I escaped from class only today. Why didn’t you criticize Noelle!”

However, Vincent said matter-of-factly, “Can you compare to Noelle? I heard from Eli that Noelle works with The Legend, and the school allows her to be absent sometimes. What about you? Do you also love the limelight?”

When Leia heard this, her heart turned cold. I couldn’t compare to Noelle? Yeah, I couldn’t. She is lucky to be the real daughter of the Anderson family. I have lived with the Anderson family for more than ten years, but it’s nothing compared with blood. Noelle was just lucky enough to write a few catchy songs. Now father is completely biased towards her.

She had never seen anyone more vain than Vincent. He cared only about the child that brought him honor.

Leia found it disgusting.

Tears welled in Leia’s eyes. She clenched her fists tightly

and said in a hoarse voice, “Yes, I can’t compare. I’ll just go back to the clan.”

With that, she immediately ran out of the house.

“Leia!” Kimberly wanted to chase after her.

But Bennett stopped her. He smiled at his mother and said, “Mom, I’ll go.”

“Okay,” Kimberly nodded and said, “Quick! Bennett, bring Leia back! It’s late at night. It’s not safe for a girl to walk alone.”

“I’m on it,” Bennett hurriedly walked out.

Before he left, he inadvertently glanced at Noelle, as if saying, “I am going to start.”

Seeing this, Noelle was stunned. She recalled that Bennett had said that he would think of a way to chase Leia away. Is he starting now?

However, Noelle could not guess what Bennett was planning at all. Bennett had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

Suddenly, Kimberly’s voice sounded again. “Vincent, are you alright? Do you have a headache?”

Noelle looked back and saw Kimberly supporting Vincent while Vincent was pressing his head. It looked like he was having a headache.

She immediately walked up and asked Vincent, “Dad, does your head still hurt? Did you take the medicine I prescribed for you on time!”

“I did,” Vincent answered.

“I see…” Noelle frowned slightly.

She stared at Vincent, wondering what was wrong.

Seeing her troubled expression, Vincent smiled and comforted her. “Don’t worry, Noelle. Actually, after taking the medicine, my headache has eased a lot, but I’ve been busy with work recently, so it acted up again. I will be fine after some rest.”

“We can’t be careless,” Noelle said seriously. “Dad, I’ll give you a new prescription later.”

“Okay,” Vincent smiled.

When he saw how worried Noelle was, he felt a warmth flow through his heart.

He thought for a moment and said to Noelle, “Noelle, although many people now know that you’re my daughter, I plan to hold a banquet for you after your brother returns from the business trip. I will officially announce your identity to the public.”

“Another banquet?” Noelle did not know much about the social activities of wealthy families.

However, Vincent smiled and said, “Of course, this is the only way to show our attitude towards you to the public. Don’t take it lightly. A statement can prevent many unexpected results and avoid many unnecessary troubles.”

“Oh,” Noelle did not understand. However, since her father had said so, she still smiled at him and nodded. “Okay, Dad. Let’s do it then!”

“Yeah,” Vincent’s fatherly love suddenly overflowed. He reached out and rubbed Noelle’s hair. “Good girl.”

Noelle liked it when others touched her head.

Previously in the laboratory, when an experiment was done, the doctors in the white coats would pat her head to express their approval. Then, they would be allowed to have free time on that day.

Therefore, in her opinion, when someone touched her head, good things would happen.

Overjoyed, she smiled at Vincent.
