Noelle was determined after the talk with Lucinda. She hugged her tightly, feeling more confident than before.
Later that night, Neolle went to use the bathroom and she got blocked by Raquel Curtis and her gang.
The base was nearly empty that day, and there were no cameras around to capture the incident.
Raquel had returned to the base after hearing about Kari’s forced withdrawal from the competition. She intended to make Noelle pay for her complaints by teaching her a lesson.
Noelle was terrified, but Lucinda’s words from earlier that day echoed in her mind.
Gritting her teeth, Noelle seized a mop from the corner and brandished it at the three bullies.
“Raquel, I’m not afraid of you. I just don’t want any trouble here.
But you can’t hurt me anymore!”
“Well, amazing! Let’s play a game and see if you can defeat three of us!”
The four girls then began to grapple with one another, and the bathroom turned into a chaotic scene of screams and scuffles.
Lucinda only found out about the incident on the following morning.
Raquel looked like she had been through the wringer and threatened to take legal action against Noelle for causing her personal injury.
Vivian watched from the sidelines and quipped, “You started it and Noelle took on all three of you by herself. And now you’re complaining?”
Lucinda chimed in with a grin, “I’ll leave it up to you. Whether Raquel wants to sue or take another route, make sure you support Noelle.”
“Got that!”

Lucinda had been preoccupied with work for several days, and Nathaniel was caught up in something as well.
In the Bay Villa, Lucinda hadn’t returned for three days straight.
Nathaniel felt a bit miffed. He couldn’t quite put his finger on what was bothering him.
Whenever he closed his eyes, he would envision her alone with Cyrus.
The thought of this made him feel uneasy and mad.
Why was he feeling this way?
He used to think that he liked Eleanor, but eventually realized he only saw her as a sister.
Lucinda, on the other hand, was different. She had the power to evoke all sorts of emotions in him, such as anger, surprise, pity, and guilt.
She was a special presence in his life.
