Chapter 549

Noelle did not just see Emma—Laura was right beside her. The moment Cedric heard her say that name, a chill ran down his spine. He turned his head, and sure enough, Emma and Laura were standing at the entrance of L Bistro. His gaze lingered for a second before he looked down at Noelle and said, "Let's just focus on our meal." He had already made things crystal clear to both Emma and Laura. He had never agreed to an engagement with Laura before, and now that Noelle was in his life, he certainly was not going to entertain the idea. Noelle followed Cedric back inside the private dining room. After some thought, she said, "Now that the supplier bribery scandal is out, Ms. Merlock's charity foundation is getting dragged into the mess. That's probably why the Liddells are trying to smooth things over with the Cantrells tonight." Cedric was well aware of the situation. "Don't worry. If everyone is caught up in the same scandal, they have no right to look down on your parents' foundation."
