Cordy nodded.But how could she simply let Noel continue being so cocky?!It had been so long, and instead of toning things down, Noel had been pushing her luck. She even started being in cahoots with Jessica…A cold look flashed past her eyes.Some people insisted on courting their own death! -Noel left the courtroom in a rage.Recalling the scene of Cordy being immediately released made Noel wish she could hack Cordy into pieces.Why did that bitch always end up so lucky? Yes.It was all sheer luck.Cordy had everything she had today because of pure luck.The driver seated in front didn't dare to make a sound.He could sense the terrifying aura emanating from Noel and was afraid of provoking her.Noel's phone suddenly rang.She looked grumpily at her phone and saw that it was Jessica calling her. That was when her anger died down and fear began creeping up her heart. After all, she was the reason for their failure this time. She did not manage to make sure that He
"What do you want me to do, Ms. Stuart?" Noel cut straight to the chase. Jessica said with a smile, "Although you were the reason for our failure this time, Noel, you aren't too stupid a person, so I'm still willing to work with you. Just keep the shares that I'm giving you. I'll tell you when I figure out what I need you to do for me.""What if you make me commit murder or arson?" Noel counter-questioned."Do you think what we've done is better than murder and arson?" Jessica was forthcoming.They were all against the law.Did Noel still not understand that?! Noel gritted her teeth. She knew clearly what Jessica would make her do and what she had to do from the moment she took these shares, but greed is part and parcel of human nature.Looking at the contract in front of her, Noel knew that taking these shares would that she had power over Sachs Enterprises.Her grandmother and mother treated her nicely on the surface, but they only wanted to use her when they actually were
There were a couple of reasons why Cordy suspected so.Firstly, there was warmth in Zoe's voice when she talked about the silver lining. Zoe was not one to lie and cover up her emotions. She was probably trying to convey that an exciting chapter was about to begin in her life.Secondly, John said that Jay would take care of Zoe. If they could be honest with each other and resolve the misunderstanding between them, she believed it would only be a matter of time till they got together. "Why do you say so?" Zoe counter-questioned.Despite the changes that Cordy sensed, traces of Zoe's exaggerated character were still preserved.Cordy furrowed her brow."How could it be possible between me and Jay?! It's good enough if he manages to take care of himself. How would he dare to come close to me? Jay and I…" Zoe paused for a moment before going on, "I admit that I felt upset, having remained single for so many years and waiting for Jay. I cheapened myself so much that I thought it was f
Cordy held herself back and decided not to say anything.Since Zoe had let things go, she should not let Zoe do so with any regrets."You and Quinn don't need to worry about me. I'll be well. Until the day when I face a complete dead-end, I won't stand on ceremony in seeking you guys out," Zoe said brightly."Okay," Cordy replied. "Gotta go, I need to learn how to cook.""Huh?""Currently, when I have no idea what to do, I'll start with learning basic life skills," Zoe said in all seriousness.She really looked like she was trying her best to live well. If Bob really could shine a light in Zoe's world, Cordy would choose to give them her blessings."I won’t interrupt your skill learning then," Cordy said teasingly."I'll invite you and Quinn to my house for a meal next time.""Sure."They hung up.Cordy heaved a sigh of relief, and it was then that she felt tiredness setting in.Ever since she was involved in the court case and when things happened to Zoe subsequently,
"Is Mommy going to cook for me?" Richard sounded very agitated. "I want to buy groceries with Mommy, and I want to be with Mommy!"Cordy smiled and nodded. Of course, she would not leave Richard alone at home. She held his hand and said to John, "Head back first if you're busy. I'll take good care of Dicky."John did not respond.Cordy did not say anything further. Instead, she went ahead and brought Richard to a nearby grocery store, and John followed right behind them.Many times, Cordy wanted to tell him to leave, but she eventually chose to remain silent.The three of them walked around and shopped in the grocery store."Mommy, what are we buying?" Richard was bubbling with excitement.He had never been to a grocery store like this, since his house had everything and Winston always made sure that the house was well-stocked. He never had the chance to visit a grocery store and see how it looked."I'll buy whatever you want to eat.""I want to eat fish, lobster, and crab…" R
Cordy furrowed her brow. What was there to be unsure about?John did not resist and handed the two bags to Cordy.When she took them over, she immediately placed them on the ground.She did not expect them to be so heavy! She was completely unable to lift them without any prior mental preparation.She saw John lifting them so easily…"Ms. Sachs, do you still want to act tough?" John asked.Cordy pursed her lips.She did not think that she bought a lot of things as she shopped, but yet, she unknowingly did.John did not make things too difficult for Cordy. He simply took over the two bags from her again and walked ahead.Cordy hesitated for a moment before holding Richard's hand and following behind him.When they reached home, Cordy began packing the things she bought, and that was when she found the box of condoms.She glanced at John who was seated on the couch with Richard watching television and wondered how she could hand the condoms over to him."Do you need help?" Jo
"Mommy, I really love seeing our family like this," Richard suddenly remarked.Cordy was slightly taken aback. "Like what?""The three of us together, going to the grocery store, cooking dinner and enjoying it," Richard said naturally.Cordy pursed her lips.At that moment, she had no idea what to say in response to Richard."Mommy, don't you like it too?" Richard blinked innocently as he asked her."Of course." Cordy smiled in agreement. "I like whatever you like." "Mommy, you're the best to me in this whole wide world! I love you!" Richard said sweetly.Cordy did not know how someone as sullen and reserved as John could raise such a sweet-talking child as Richard.After dinner, Cordy was busy washing the dishes.John had wanted to help, but Cordy rejected him outright because she clearly did not want him close to her.The father and son pair were seated together on the couch, and Richard suddenly asked solemnly, "Daddy, how long more are you going to take to pursue Mommy?
"Thank you for your help in the lawsuit," Cordy clarified.John was the one who found all the critical evidence, especially evidence of the finance department finding someone to reproduce her signature on the documents."I was the reason for everything to happen. You have no need to apologize."Cordy did not say anything further.She truly hoped from the bottom of her heart that John and Jessica could get married as soon as possible, thereby breaking all ties between her and John.But because John was the reason that everything was fine for her now, she had no right to request that of him."Oh yes." Cordy changed the subject. "Did you know that Zoe and Bob are together now?""I do," John replied.Cordy was not surprised.She never needed to doubt his ability and speed at hearing of such news."From what I hear from Zoe, she shares a pretty good relationship with Bob. I don't want to comment about whether their relationship is more platonic or romantic in nature, but I can sen
