Chapter 77 Chapter 77 Leia was momentarily stunned.
Wasnt Eli supposed to be looking for me! Why is he greeting Noelle first! And why does he sound so gentle with hert Coming.
Noelle happily skipped over to Elis side, greeting him with a sweet voice.
Hi, Eli Eli gave Noelle a brief glance before casually pulling her over and resting a hand on her shoulder.
He then addressed everyone.
Sorry to take up your time, everyone.
Recently, Ive heard sabsurd nimors and chere to clear things up.
Leia almost jumped out of her seat.
Her face drained of color in an instant, and her heart started pounding uncontrollably.
What is Eli doing? Could it be Leia thought to herself.
Lela, whats wrong A girl next to her noticed Leias pale complexion and asked, concerned.
Sothers were puzzled.
Why did Eli call Noelle over? And why did he put his hand on her shoulder? They seem so close ! Leia couldnt even say a word.
She just stared at Eli, her heart racing like it might leap out of her chest.
It cant be.
It just cant be what Im thinking.
Leia thought anxiously A few of the girls exchanged confused glances, unsure of what was going on with Leia Meanwhile, everyones attention shifted to Eli and Noelle, and the whispers began.

Ell put his hand on Noelles shoulder.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWe share the sfather and mother, and theres no truth to the rumors that were half siblings.
At his words, the room erupted in shock.
What? Noelle is Elis full sister? Doesnt the Anderson family only have one daughter! If Noelle is Elis full sister, then what about Leia ? Is this for real? Who spread the rumor that Noelle was an illegitimate child? That Thats insane Eli scanned the room full of students, all in an uproar, before continuing.
I hope from now on, everyone can think more rationally and not be misled by people with bad intentions Also, Noelle is an outstanding person, and I hope everyone can treat her kindly in the future and not reject her because of these rumors.
Whats Eli trying to say? Is he implying that we cant think for ourselves? Sound like it The rumor that Noelle is an illegitimate child is truly ridiculous, Should we blourselves? The rumor has been spreading for days.
Speople asked Leia about it, and she didnt clear it up.
So what about Leia ! Whats her real identity? Is she really the Anderson familys biological daughter ? All eyes turned to Leia as the conversation shifted to her, full of skepticism and doubt, Leia, whats going on? One of Leias friends, still in shock, finally spoke up.
Leias friends had always believed that Noelle was an illegitimate child and had been spreading that around. Now, Eli had cto clarify that Noelle was lus real sister.
That meant they had been the ones spreading lies.
Faced with their accusing stares, Leja couldnt say a word.
Everything feh dizzying.
It was as though the world was spinning around her.

Open She felt like she was losing From a distance, li noticed Leias pale face and her shocked expression, and a pang of guilt struck him.
The family had kept Noelles identity a secret to avoid hurting Leia .
Hut Eli had no choice.
The rumors that Noelle was an illegitimate child were everywhere in school.
If he didnt step in to clear things up, Noelle wouldnt get along here.
It didnt matter whether it was Leia or Noelle ; they were both his sisters, and Eli would treat them equally.
The students wont start bullying Leia just because of this, right? he wondered.
Eli addressed the class again.
And also, Leia is my sister.
Please dont jump to any unnecessary conclusions.
Lets just focus on getting along as classmates here.
But Elis addition only seemed to raise more questions.
The students imaginations began to run wild.
Why would Eli go out of his way to add that? Could Leias identity have another hidden truth they wondered.
Leia, Vivian, hearing Elis words, beceven more anxious.
even more anxious.
Whats going here! It felt as though Eli was trying to cover something up about Lela .
Everyone was now curious about Leias place in the Anderson family.
Leia couldnt stand the questioning glances from her classmates and friends.
She trembled, her eyes reddened, and before she could hold it together any longer, she ran out the back door of the classroOOL.
Wait, Leial Elis heart tightened as he called after her.
Just as he was about to chase after her, a member of the student union approached and said.
Eh, what are you doing here? Theres a meeting starting soon.
You need to go and host it right away.
Eli looked in the direction Leia had gone, torn between his responsibilities and his concern for her.
Noelle spoke up.
Eli, Ill go after her.
You go to your meeting Dont make things worse, Eli replied.
Leia was clearly shaken, and Noelles appearance would only make things more complicated for her.
Left with no choice, Eli quickly called Damon, asking him to go after Leia .
Once everything was taken care of, Eli headed to the student unions to attend the meeting Meanwhile, Noelle was surrounded by classmates who had stayed behind.
Noelle, so youre Elis real sister? Sorry about before.
We thought you were an illegitimate child, and we didnt treat your well.
Please dont hold it against us.
Noelle was shocked by the sudden change in attitude.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThese people really know how to switch things up, huh? How ironic she wondered.
Even though Noelle found their behavior hypocritical, Nick had told her that being nice to people at school would help build her popularity.
If she could fit in well, members of the Anderson family would start seeing her in a better light, especially her father, Vincent. Nick had said that Vincent was particularly vain and cared a lot about reputation.
Only if Noelle proved herself would her father start liking her.
Noelle smiled warmly, shaking her head.
Its okay.
You were just misled.
Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, everythings fine.
Her classmates were taken aback by her calm and gracious response.
Noelle, youre so kind? Yeah, I wouldve been crying by now if it were me. Noelle still wore a radiant smile as she replied, Its okay.
I know you all were just misinformed, and deep down, youre good people.
So, I dont hold.
any grudges against you! Everyone stared in shock, mesmerized by Noelles words.
She seemed to be surrounded by an almost divine glow like skind of angel descended from above.
