Chapter 242 Chapter 242 Bennett pulled the car over to the side of the road .
Then he turned to look at Noelle with a smirk that didnt quite reach his eyes .
So what are you saying , Noelle ! That in your eyes , I was never a good guy to begin with ! Nope , Noelle answered truthfully without hesitation .
She blinked at him and shot back , When have you ever acted like one ? Bennetts eye twitched .
Noelle continued listing his sins matter of factly .
You manipulated Lela , watched Dad land in the hospital without lifting a finger , and you even scratched my hand on purpose to secretly test my blood .
Every time you show up , its because yourre up to something .
Look at everything youve stirred up just in the few days since you came back and you call that being a good guy ? For once , Bennett , the silver tongued master of deflection , was left speechless .
Hed always known he wasnt a good person sarcastic , scheming , and constantly putting on a polate front just for his own amusement Still , he was used to everyone buying into the persona .
But Noelle? She had just torn the mask right of And oddly enough it felt kind of refreshing .
Even so , Bennetts ironclad composure remained intact .
He leaned forward , resting his hands and head on the steering wheel , then tilted his face to the side , giving Noelle a playful , half pouting look .
Noelle .
he said , voice laced with mock hurt , Tadmit Im not a good guy ... my feelings for you are genuine .
Oh yeah ! Noelle gave him a skeptical look Yep , totally Bennett nodded with a sunny smile .
Tell you what how about I treat you a little better from now on ! Sound good ? Sounds great .
Noelle responded cheerfully , flashing him a bright grin . If youre really turning over a new leaf , then welcome to Team Good Bennett Bennett raised an eyebrow , surprised by how easily she accepted it .
His gaze swept over her , studying her reactions the expression , her tone , her body language .
She was being totally sincere .
Not faking it .
So she knew he wasnt a good person ... but the moment he said hed try to be better , she believed him ? Bennett thought to himself , Her hearts way too soft .
She doesnt hold grudges .
As long as someone treats her with sincerity , shell give it back without hesitation .
Shes ... kinda dumb , honestly But still , despite that , he didnt dislike her for it In fact , he found oddly charming .
With a more a more genuine smile curling at the comers of h his lips , Bennett said , You really are something else , Noelle Really ? Noelle ulted her head , unsure if he was being sincere Then again , she thought she was pretty is interesting full of clum , fun to be around .
Everyone said sol With that thought , she grinned and said proudly , I think Im super interesting , too ! Nicolas always says Im fun to be around .
He says he never gets hored when hes with me ! Bennetts unile stiffened slightly at the mention of that name .
Hed heard that Noelle had been smitten with Nicolas from day one .
It didnt seem like something that developed over time it felt more like instant obsession .
But Nicolas didnt exactly have the best reputation .
So Bennett asked directly .
Noelle , do you really like Nic Nicolas Mhm , I do , she nodded sweetly .
1/2 Chapter 212 And what exactly do you like about him ? Henment pressed Without hesitation .
Noelle answered , Hes so handsome ! Ive never seen anyone that good looking before ? So shes just a shameless face enthusiast , Bennent thought , amused .
He chuckled .
So you like Nicolas just for his face ?! Well , yeah .....
but not just for his face .
Noelle frowned , comeeting him earnestly .
She then launched into a passionate explanation .
Hes a really good person .
Super nice to Nicolas helps me figure things out .
Like when I first came to the Anderson family , I didnt know how tocact around everyone , so he explained your Home .
I dont always understand how your minds work , so personalities and taught me how to get along with you all And then theres Leia .
She always tries t tries to pick on me , and sometimes sie really gets under my skin , hot Nirolas taught me how to fight back .
He said shes a poser , and to deal with a poser , you have to outdo them with their own tricks .
And it totally workst Bennen Instened to her go on , slightly dumbfounded so thats where she got those spraky mes from .
Noelle mi sometimes she was weirdly cumming and now he knew why .
She had Nicolas coaching her behind the scenes .
seein innocent , but More importantly , he realized just how deeply Noelle liked Nicolas .
Every time she talked about him , her whole being lit up .
Bennells gaze narrowed slightly Noelle was an experimental subject from Atoraka Nowedon Laboratory .
Someone as rare and valuable as her probably wasnt even allowed to be in a relationship . And yet , no one from the lab seemed to be stopping it .
It all smelled a little off While he w he was still lost in thought .
Noelle suddenly gasped beside him .
Bennetts attention snapped back .
Whats wrong ? Noelle was clutching her phone , her expression panicked .
She shoved the screen toward him .
Bennett , look ! It says Nicolass shares might be getting taken back by the Sawyer family ! What ? Bennett took the phone , scrolling through the news article .
Sure enough , the headline read : Are Nicolas Sawyers Shares Being Reclaimed ? -question mark and all , Whats going on ?
Why would they try to take his shares Noelle huffed , visibly furious .
Bennett , his familys awful .
They smeared his moms name , called her a homewrecker , and after she left him the shares , they even hired an assassin to kill him ! Now they want to take everything back ? Theyre monsters ! She looked ready to storm the Sawyer estate and start throwing punches , Bennett held her by the shoulders , trying not to .
allowed this story to leak laugh .
Calm down .
Nicolas isnt the type to let people walk all over him .
For all we know , he Ol ... right .
Nicolas is amazing Noelle relaxed again .
In her mind , Nicolas was practically untouchable a flawless , all powerful force of nature , Seeing how confident she was in him .
Bennen couldnt help but chuckle .
