Simon was still under the impression that his relatives were all impressed by the video he put together, and he was relishing the thought until he noticed Plum glowering.Noel quickly dashed up the podium just then, anxiously pointing at the screen. "Dad, Dad…" Simon turned around and almost got a stroke when he saw what was playing on the screen.It was all records of his affair with Fiona Lamb!There were not just photos and videos either, but also records of their cringeworthy text conversations.It was such a thorough expose that Simon had zero dignity left!He eventually came to his senses after a long while and barked at the technician, "Shut it down! Shut it down!"Stunned, the technician quickly did as he was told, but everyone had already seen what they needed to see…"Who did this?! Who?!" Simon was bellowing in rage up at the podium.Below, Plum was turning pale from fury. It was her birthday party, but she somehow ended up thoroughly humiliated in front of all t

While Noel could not manage a comeback, Kyle stepped up. "Cordy Sachs, why are you being so hostile and cold? Noel just cares about you, and even if you're uncomfortable after our break up, we would still become in-laws eventually—""Kyle Jessop, how many times do I have to tell you that you give yourself too much credit? You hold no sway on me at all now, and my spite for Noel has nothing to do with you…"Cordy paused for a moment just then, and said, "Actually, it does—it stacks, so I hate you even more now.""Sis, you can say anything you like about me, but not Kyle—"Cordy simply turned to leave again before Noel could finish, and it certainly stung! Noel almost wanted to scream as she glared at Cordy from behind.Kyle was not doing any better, as he seemed even more insignificant to her! "Cordy Sachs!" Simon suddenly showed up and barked at her as well.Cordy pursed her lips, but she turned around despite her impatience. She knew all too well she would not get a clea

Cordy paused and studied Bryson for a moment.He was on the pudgy side, and his face so plain there was nothing worth noting. "Do you even know who I am?! I am a top executive working at Levine Ventures, and I draw a six-figure salary each year!" While Bryson continued his angry rant slash brag, Cordy clicked her tongue at him and left without a care. Bryson watched in confusion as she walked away—he was convinced that Cordy should be throwing herself into his arms given who he was.But she did not seem to care!In reality, Bryson was not that interested in her at first, but he could not turn down the Sachs since they carried influence in North City. However, when he saw Cordy in person, he was stunned to find her so much more beautiful than her photo! With that pretty face, he would be fine with just a tryst even if he did not marry her!While he grinned sinisterly, Cordy was still heading toward the front gates, intent on leaving and certainly not in the mood to find out

With Fiona gone, Cordy had help from Stephen to select a new secretary, Vince Cartman. He was young and academically qualified, and had not joined either faction in Starstream Group since he was only recently hired.And as instructed, Noel arrived to present her drafts for the season in the vast conference room. But even as she elaborated on the details, she lost confidence by the minute under Cordy's watchful gaze.She certainly had to admit that she did not have the inspiration to create a design from scratch—even if she was given another week. Her design was fundamentally stuck to her old ideas, and the minute adjustments she made by borrowing inspiration from others left her designs less than outstanding."Do you think this is going to fly, Ms. Sachs?" Cordy asked as she took a sip of tea.It was only natural that Noel came up with an excuse beforehand. "Personally, I think trends matter, but that does not mean we should lose our brand's individuality. What's wrong in keeping o

Simon was certainly skeptical.Still, considering that Cordy must have had a hard time getting anything going or trying to manage Starstream Group with various head of departments reneging, did she smarten up and decided to appoint Noel, so that Noel would keep them in line?Simon thought then that it was all Cordy amounted to… To think that he believed she could achieve anything for a moment!Smugness showed on his face as he barked, "Appointing Noel is certainly the best move you can make to rein in Starstream! She's worked there for years, and she's naturally no greenhorn like you!""Thank you for your advice." Cordy played along, though she found it ironic herself—appointing Noel was really just bait for them to come at her!"Oh, and do you remember Bryson Zimmer—""You don't have to worry about my private life." She hung up, but soon her phone rang again.Cordy did not answer it, and she then received a text from Kyle. "Noel just called me saying that you appointed her as

Noel checked the time, but it was only 3 pm. "In another couple of hours.""Can't you leave early?" Mandy Jessop was clearly upset. "I'd like you to go shopping with me."Noel appeared slightly hesitant. In the past, she could just leave work without a word since her father would not say a thing.But now, Cordy had taken control, and Noel was worried she would notice and use it as an excuse to harass her.Even so, she had even less reason to upset Mandy. If she wanted to marry Kyle without issue, she certainly needed his sister's favor.After weighing her options, Noel agreed to it anyway. "I'll be right there. Where are we going?""Radiant Global.""Be there in twenty minutes."Hanging up, Noel drove to the mall.-Meanwhile, Cordy was drafting a design in her office when her phone rang too.She gave it a casual glance but eventually put away the draft and answered it. "Mr. Levine.""When will you call me something else?" That familiar voice was ever deep and magnetic.

Mandy saw Cordy too. She called out rather loudly, "Cordy?!"Cordy naturally heard her, but she ignored her."Who do you think you are, Cordy Sachs?!" Mandy promptly strode toward her.Noel quickly followed, even as Mandy glared scornfully at Richard and mocked, "You really are eager to become a stepmom, aren't you? You really are an embarrassment to womenkind, sucking up to a man like this and paying for everything! Every item here would cost at least five figures—you really spared no expense!"Richard's little brows were furrowed.Why did they have to run into those two witches again? They were really ruining his and his mommy's happy shopping time. Beside him, Cordy shot Mandy a look and calmly pressed a button on her phone, replaying all of Mandy's rambling.Mandy's face flushed, surprised that Cordy would record everything so quickly."I wonder if your reputation would be affected if this recording goes online, Ms. Jessop?" Cordy asked without a care. "Weren't you just ta

Did 'good' mean it was acceptable, or did it mean something else?Still, Cordy was going to ask a store assistant to pack it up when another store assistant arrived with a breathtaking gown. Mandy's eyes lit up, and she promptly intercepted the store assistant as she exclaimed, "I'll try that one!" "I'm sorry, Ms. Jessop, but this one is reserved for Ms. Sachs." The store assistant apologized."Why? I saw it first, and that makes it mine! I'll try it right now!" Mandy snapped bossily, snatching it off the store assistant's hand before she could agree to it.Mandy held it over herself, measuring it—they had been shopping for a while, but this was the only gown that suited her taste. "It's so beautiful." Noel fawned over it, feeling jealous because she had her eyes on it too."I'm sorry, Ms. Jessop, but this is tailored made for Ms. Cordy Sachs—""How much is it?!" Mandy refused to hear a word of it. "I'll buy it right now!""It's not about the money—""I'll make a complaint
