Noel was surprised that Jay would help Mandy escape.

She knew that they were not particularly close and that they had never gone out on a date even after they announced that they were in a relationship.

And yet, when Mandy was desperate, he came to her rescue without a care how he would look.

He was no different from Prince Charming, riding in on a white horse to his beloved's rescue!

Any woman would be envious and hope for such a boyfriend.

Noel felt slightly jealous too, since Kyle had not shown up at all.

Thankfully, she only lost this competition—her reputation did not suffer a blow.

And seeing that Mandy had left, she could win the journalists' sympathy.

However, the journalists left her immediately, just as she was about to speak.

Noel could only watch as they headed straight for Cordy like moths to a flame.

She gritted her teeth and left reluctantly.

"Ms. Sachs, do you have anything to say about being framed? Don't you think it's unacceptable?!"

"Don't you feel d

    Cordy was caught off guard and flustered at once, but she eventually reached out and put her hand in John's palm.His perfect lips curled upward into a smile, and he led her out from the crowd.Everyone could only watch as they left.Cordy was still in that divine diamond-blue gown. As she stood beside that man with a perfect figure, they looked like something straight out of a chick flick depicting a rich man's wife being caught by her husband and taken home after trying to run away, although the only difference was that this was reality.It was a breathtakingly beautiful sight. The journalists' camera flashes captured them endlessly, and they were still unsatisfied even as the helicopter flew off!-In the helicopter, Cordy looked out of the window as the ground became ever distant. She really wanted to tell John that he did not have to go to such lengths to take her away. He could just do it like Jay—with a car!God knows how much press coverage that commotion would get.

    Zoe got into her MPV and left the film set.They had just recorded a rather emotional night scene, and she was still too engrossed in her character.She was starting to come to her senses, and she reclined against the chair and closed her eyes to rest.Linda, her manager, was beside her and chatting with her assistant, Penny."Did you catch Solo Show's final round, Linda?" Penny asked. "I did watch a little on my way to the film set," Linda replied."Me too, but that showdown between Cordy and Noel was so dramatic!" Penny exclaimed earnestly. "There are more plot twists than a drama series, and there's a ton of articles on the news now. It's even more exciting than a period drama!"Zoe blinked. She almost forgot that it was the final round of Cordy's competition today—she was too busy with filming that she did not have time to keep up.Opening her eyes, Zoe asked, "Did Cordy win?""Yes, and it was magnificent. I worship her now!" Penny exclaimed excitedly, but she quickly a

    Zoe quickly called Cordy, but the latter's phone was turned off!But Cordy never turned off her phone!As such, Zoe quickly called John, but his phone was turned off as well! Could they have both been abducted?! No way!Zoe became worried and called Bob after some thought. "Do you know where John went? I can't reach him.""...No idea," Bob replied. "Probably off to celebrate with Cordy, perhaps? She was so beautiful tonight, and no man could hold back from a look. If I were John, I wouldn't wait to—""Do you think he's like you?!" Zoe snapped, overprotective toward John as ever."I mean, men aren't all that different…" Bob grumbled.It was just that some were better at hiding their libido than others."Whatever. I guess you wouldn't know," Zoe said."Wait, Zoe." Bob stopped her before she could hang up."What now?""Want to come out for a drink?" he asked, seemingly out of the blue.Zoe frowned. What was he up to this time? And it was already so late!"I'll take a rain c

    Cordy had no idea what time it was when she woke up, only that she felt limp and muddled.The room she was in was pitch-black and completely unfamiliar. She could not even remember how she got here or how she got into this bed…Bed?!Cordy promptly pulled off her blanket to check her clothes and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her clothes hugging her body neatly and tidily. However, she suddenly became nervous just as she was about to relax—she was not wearing this when she got here!Who helped her change? Could it be John?!Cordy also lifted her pajamas to check… and her bra was gone!Her face went crimson right then—how could she sleep so soundly?!Did she not always wake up from the slightest movement?How could she let down her guard around John when he was such a dangerous man?"Could you be imagining some dramatic events in your head, Ms. Sachs?" An attractive man's voice spoke beside her ears just then.Startled, Cordy quickly turned and saw the man leaning no

    The ocean was right outside the window, and its waves were splashing over it. If Cordy's hunch was right, the building they were staying in was built right above the ocean.After she and John took their seats, gourmet dishes were served one after the other. They were also each given a glass of bright red wine, and the sight of all the expensive food definitely made Cordy hungry."Eat," John said mildly.Cordy certainly did not hold back, and she picked up her fork to start eating.Perhaps famished, they both kept their heads down and ate for over half an hour until they felt a little full. Cordy then asked, "How long will we be staying here?"John responded with another question. "How many days would you like to spend here, Ms. Sachs?" "Would anything I say mean a thing?" Cordy grumbled.John could not help chuckling and commented, "You're getting smarter, Ms. Sachs."Cordy was left speechless while he said, "Probably a week."Probably?Cordy frowned. "What if you can'

    After finishing the call, Zoe quietly lowered her phone.She never told Cordy a thing, and she knew that John never gossiped… or to be precise, John was too busy to gossip about Zoe's private life, not when he still had trouble winning Cordy's heart.In other words, Cordy was just that sharp and noticed a lot about Zoe.Cordy also decided against speaking up just now because Zoe did not mention it despite knowing full well what Cordy was concerned about. But since Zoe chose silence, Cordy did the same as well.Zoe was genuinely lucky that she had a friend as thoughtful as Cordy.On the other hand, Noel and Mandy had always advertised themselves as inseparable best friends and spent who knew how much on buying scripts to emphasize it on Solo Show. But despite becoming the envy of countless people, it turned out that it was single-sided for Mandy, even getting a slap in the face for it in the end!Zoe believed that she was a lucky person who had everything going for her, save for h

    Zoe still did not understand. "So what?""So you're not suitable for said scene," Jay replied."How so?" Zoe scoffed. "Is my figure lacking, perhaps? So much so that I don't have your attention, director?"Jay glowered right then.He never got angered easily, but he just had a high standard for filming. He would not keep a scene if he were unhappy about it, but he rarely threw a fit because of that unless he really could not take it.But the air around him at the moment was frighteningly chilling. No one on set dared to make a sound as the atmosphere suddenly seemed to become suffocating."Zoe…" Penny tugged at Zoe's sleeve lightly.She was certainly concerned that they would really come to blows.Whatever the case may be, they could not afford to provoke Jay since he was both a famous director and a member of the Levine family.And with that, Zoe gritted her teeth and kicked a chair nearby, knocking it over very loudly.Everyone was left stunned and watched as Zoe turned to

    John replied, "They're both family."Cordy frowned—how brotherly was he toward Jay, really?!She could not help feeling bad for Zoe just then, who clearly loved John to bits.Despite the occasional bickering, Zoe would never allow anyone to badmouth John, and there was obvious blind worship whenever she spoke of John. And anything John asked, she would always do it obediently—no matter how much reluctant she was.And yet, considering how rocky Zoe's relationship with Jay was…Both men really didn't deserve Zoe's affection! They were just not worth it!Still, Cordy stayed quiet despite her mood and checked the news on her phone instead. There would probably be a lot of articles about her in these couple of days, and it was reasonable that she should check things out. While most of the headlines were showering her with praise, the media was sticking to their favorite habit of publishing one abusive article for each praiseful article. As such, aside from the articles praising

    Soon, another nurse emerged from the delivery room with a small bundle. "Is the mother's family here?""Yes!" John exclaimed loudly."The delivery was successful," the nurse said. "The baby weighs eight pounds—""How is she?" John asked in agitation, not caring about the child."She's fine. The doctor is just helping her clean up and she'll be out soon," the nurse replied.As John breathed a sigh of relief, the nurse reminded him, "Aren't you the father? Here's your child."John took the baby off her arms, staring at her for a moment as the others flocked around him. "Oh, she's so fair!" Zoe could not help exclaiming. "That's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen.""Are you saying that your son's ugly?" Bob teased."To be honest, yeah," Zoe replied without thinking.Jay cleared his throat—even if it was a subjective opinion, it still hurt to have his own baby called ugly."Let me carry her," Zoe volunteered just then, and John did not hesitate to hand her his baby.As Zoe

    "What?!" Zoe exclaimed in shock.Beside them, John's face fell despite being usually stoic.Still, even before anyone could react, he scooped Cordy up in his arms and left.Zoe did not hesitate to follow, but Jay reminded her, "We're the hosts, Zoe.""Don't care." Zoe was completely unconcerned. "Ask my mom and your sister to handle the guests. I'm going with Cordy!"Jay hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow since there was no reasoning with Zoe.Sam and Quinn also realized that something was out of place.As they pulled away reluctantly, Bob shouted from below, "If you're done kissing, we're going to the hospital! Cordy's going into labor!"Quinn hurried after them as soon as she hurt, but Sam caught her. "Slow down. We can catch up."In fact, most of the guests were leaving as well—it was as if the banquet for Zoe's son was actually intended for everyone else.The poor boy was certainly unlucky to have such unreliable parents!-As everyone rushed to the hospit

    "I'm swelling from my pregnancy," Quinn explained. "It's not your fault."Sam was left staring at her for a while before asking, "So, what should I do?""I'll put it on when I slim down.""Oh." Sam was a little disappointed, since he had always dreamed of having her put on the ring he had custom made.But this was fine—they had all the time they needed, and the most important thing for him is that Quinn was marrying him!He rose to his feet just then, and everyone was cheering as soon as he did. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"Quinn blushed right then, and Sam could see that she was embarrassed.He did not want to make things awkward for her, even if he was quite eager at the moment.Heaven knows how much he missed that night's drunken fumble they had. In fact, during the times he remembered it in dreams, he had to wash his pants when he woke up.Still, just as he took Quinn's hand and started to leave, he felt a softness on his lips—Quinn was kissing him! Sam's heart pounded thunderous

    Everyone waited patiently for the final outcome.Quinn's eyes were welling up with tears, threatening to gush if she so much as blinked.She did her best to hold back her tears—to be strong!Sam pursed his lips in turn, his Adam's apple bobbing.A long while passed, and it felt like a century for Quinn when she finally heard him say, "Yes."Quinn's tears started falling in happiness as Sam declared loudly, "I'll marry you, Quinn—it's what I've always wanted to do! I won't let you go even if you regret it eventually! You only get to be with me, and I'll never let any other man claim you! I'll become very overbearing… eventually!""I won't regret it," Quinn said, determined.She certainly would not regret marrying him!Zoe walked up to them with perfect timing just then, and Sam did a double take.He finally remembered that Zoe was the host of this luncheon and was going to leave with Quinn when Zoe whipped out a small red velvet box."You know what's in here, don't you?" Zoe a

    However, Sam had already pushed Quinn away before she could tell him. But even if he did not love her or did not want to be with her, she would never stay with Ryan.She had been disappointed in Sam, wondering why he would give up so easily.Was she that unimportant to him?Therefore, if it were not for Zoe and Cordy showing her that video or telling her so much, she would never have known that he loved her for years…Sam's heart ached even as he looked into Quinn's tearful eyes.He reached out a hand, but soon withdrew it—would he not burden her?Even so, it hurt to restrain himself as he watched her, and he was actually getting the feeling that Quinn loved him…But she already had Ryan's child…Well, he was fine with that, as long as the child was Quinn's.But would she not mind?"I will marry you, Sam," Quinn said slowly and clearly then. "Not because you're a good man, not because you prepared so much for me, and not because of how much you prepared for me, but because I

    Everyone in the hall was staring at Sam and Quinn, while Quinn took center stage, staring fixedly at Sam.He stood in the middle of the crowd, watching her silently.She in turn felt fear that he would turn and leave, just as she did not know if she had the courage to stand before him again and to declare her feelings for him in front of so many others.Nonetheless, amid the deafening silence, Sam suddenly walked toward the stage.His pace was slow as if his feet were made of lead, but he was also unusually determined.Quinn's heart raced uncontrollably right then!Everyone else was watching them nervously, especially Cordy and Zoe, with the latter being especially concerned that the cowardly Sam would bail.Fortunately, he was a man who showed responsibility. He would not leave Quinn alone and embarrassed.Hence, as everyone looked on, Sam stood before Quinn, his gaze flickering as their eyes met.He gulped ever so slightly, his emotions clearly ruffled even as he did his bes

    The guests were encouraging, loudly asking, "Why?!""Because of a woman," Sam's recording replied."Who is it?""Quinn Summer," the Sam on the screen said slowly and clearly, leaving the Sam who was in the hall stunned.What the hell?! That was the proposal video he prepared before! Why did it show up here? Did Zoe make a mistake?!He knew it—leave anything to Zoe, and she would mess it up!He started striding toward the stage, intent on stopping the recording, when John and Bob intercepted him with a look of utter guilt while the recording continued. "Quinn is my wife, and we've been married for years, but I've never really loved her—not because I don't, but because I'm afraid to. I feel too insignificant in comparison to the one she loves, so I'd always hurt her… painfully and childishly. I regret that so much now, Quinn. How could I have abandoned you for so long because of my own jealousy? I'd rather hold you in my sleep every night, but my damned pride denied me that for y

    At the banquet hall, Jay and Zoe were thanking their guests with their children in their arms.Then, Zoe announced excitedly, "Please give my best friend, who is also my son's godmother, a warm applause as she comes on stage!"Sam stood at a corner of the hall, watching as Quinn walked up the stage, only realizing just then that her belly was clearly swelling despite her baggy clothes.Time flies—he had not left that long ago, but she and Ryan already had a child.She was not worried about giving him a stroke, was she?He watched as Quinn took the mic and looked around below searching, seemingly searching.After a while, he thought she was looking at him, but by the time he looked up, she had already turned away.Maybe she was looking for Ryan before remembering that Ryan was not there?Nonetheless, Quinn spoke into the mic, saying, "I'm honored to be chosen as the godmother to Zoe's son, and she's been saying he'd be engaged to my child if it's a girl. I already love my godson

    As their eyes met, Sam turned frantic and averted his. "Of course.""Really?" Quinn asked."Would I lie to you?" Sam asked a little grumpily."And you didn't bring her back?" Quinn asked."I'm on a schedule, and it'd be taxing for her if I bought her along," Sam said, making things up as he went along. "I'll bring her along when things are less busy.""Is she pretty?" Quinn pressed."What, have I ever picked an ugly one?" Sam snorted smugly. "You know I prefer curvaceous types, and there are plenty of those abroad.""Do you have a photo?"Sam was silent for a while and eventually said, "Yeah.""Can I see it?""What, does she have to pass your assessment?""Just curious about the girl who can tempt you to settle down," Quinn replied. "You'd be humbled." Sam hastily came up with an excuse."I won't," Quinn said, determined."You'll see her when I bring her home." Sam refused nonetheless."I would like to see a photo now.""No, she's not that photogenic. It'd be slander a
