The result was Kari being pulled out in tears.


    Finally, the room was quiet.


    Lucinda sat next to Noelle’s bed and carefully peeled an apple for her.


    Noelle fixed her gaze on Lucinda, and relief flooded her face as she smiled.


    “I haven’t seen you in so many years, and you’ve changed a lot.


    You have be really fierce.


    I love it.


    ”


    “You can be fierce too.


    ”


    Noelle’s eyes grew dark.


    “No, I’m not like the other trainees here.


    They all have the backing of theirpanies or influential families, but I have just myself to rely on.


    ”


    Lucinda set aside the apple and took Noelle’s hand.


    “You stood out among the one hundred trainees and made it to the final.


    Don’t you think that’s amazing?”


    “But I’m only ranked fifteenth.


    I won’t have the show’s support.


    Kari told me that it’s all rigged.


    I won’t have an opportunity to start my career as an artist.


    ”


    Lucinda burst outughing.


    After all, this was herpany and her show.


    She had specifically instructed her staff not to ept any bribes from anyone.


    She knew better than anyone whether the show was rigged or not.


    Noelle was a beautiful woman, not necessarily a knockout, but definitely attractive.


    She had an innocent charm that was hard to resist.


    With her pretty face and talent, she had the potential to make a name for herself someday.


    Lucinda was determined to make her a star, whether it was for their friendship or for thepany’s benefit.


    “Don’t worry.


    My show will never be rigged by anyone.


    As long as you work hard, there’s an opportunity for you to be famous.


    And even if you don’t debut this time, you can still be an artist at Angle Intl,” Lucinda reassured her.


    Noelle’s eyes became filled with tears.


    She bit her lips in disbelief, and made an effort not to cry.


    Lucinda ced aforting hand on her head.


    “You should do your best to aplish your goal this time.


    ”


    “Thank you, Lucinda… Even though you haven’t disclosed to me who you really are, I know you’re an amazing person.N?velDrama.Org content.


    ” Noelle gave her a hug, feeling grateful.


    “If any of the other trainees bully you again, stand up to them! The weaker you seem, the bolder they’ll be.


    But when you fight back, they’ll be scared of you.


    Don’t be disturbed.


    I’ve got your back from now on!”
