Chapter 210:
Watching her retreating silhouette disappear into the distance, Gerard tightened his fists until his knuckles turned white. Regardless of how much effort or sacrifice it demanded, he would earn her forgiveness.
As he turned back toward the shooting area, his attention was drawn to the targets displaying Noelle’s scores—0.8, 0.4, and 0.6. He pulled out his phone without thinking.
Hesitation marked Gerard’s fingers as he captured the image before posting it to his social media. “Look at these scores from my sister! Isn’t she absolutely incredible p>
One of his friends responded with immediate bewilderment, “Are you feeling alright, Gerard p>
Gerard doubled down with his next post, his fingers flying across the screen. “Just to clarify—this is my biological sister’s achievement, not that pathetic Willa’s p>

His friends’ confusion deepened even further.
What had transformed Gerard into this sister-praising enthusiast overnight? And he was actually celebrating Noelle? The situation seemed completely unbelievable.
After posting his messages, Gerard shifted his attention to Brock and Willa, his voice dripping with cutting sarcasm. “Some people could spend their entire lives grinding away and still never reach even the smallest fraction of Noelle’s natural brilliance p>
Brock’s eyes blazed with fury. “Gerard p>
Willa’s fingernails dug crescents into her palms as she bit down on her lip, maintaining her silence.
She hadn’t anticipated that wretched Noelle possessing such remarkable shooting skills.
But this development worked in her favor. If Brock and Noelle never mended their sibling relationship, Brock’s affection would remain entirely devoted to Willa!
After departing from the shooting range alongside Farrell and Noelle, Jaxton received an urgent phone call that demanded his immediate attention.
Before taking his leave, Jaxton caught Noelle’s eye and reminded her with pointed emphasis, “Don’t forget about that variety show—Music Moves Us happens in three days p>
Noelle responded with a firm nod. “I haven’t forgotten about it p>
Jaxton couldn’t resist adding a teasing barb. “I’m not reminding you out of kindness, you know. I’m just protecting myself from the notorious memory lapses of the… distinguished p>
Noelle responded with a sweet smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “How thoughtful of you to acknowledge my importance p>
Jaxton found himself completely speechless.
He could never emerge victorious from their verbal sparring matches!
Farrell, however, perked up with genuine interest. “Noelle, I heard that the famous NoMo is making a rare public appearance on Music Moves Us. If you happen to meet NOMO, you’ll snag me an autograph, won’t you p>
Noelle felt completely at a loss for words.
Farrell stroked his chin thoughtfully. “I keep wondering what NoMo actually looks like. Probably some middle-aged gentleman. Maybe even completely bald. You know what they say—the less hair, the more talent concentrated in that brilliant mind p>
Both Noelle and Jaxton stared at him in stunned silence.
Farrell blinked with innocent confusion. “Why are you both staring at me like I’ve grown a second head? Am I completely off the mark here p>
Jaxton’s smirk carried layers of hidden meaning. “Of course, you’re absolutely right. Oh, you’re positively brilliant with that theory p>
With those parting words, Jaxton departed to handle his pressing matters, leaving Farrell and Noelle to explore the remaining attractions throughout the club.
