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
Everyone including Simon and Sonny were shocked speechless at her words.Noel handed the document over to her assistant standing behind her. "Give it to my father, my beloved brother, and every senior director in the room.""Yes, Chairman."The assistant hurriedly handed out the documents to Simon and everyone else.The document stated everything in black and white, leaving everyone with no choice but to believe that Noel had indeed become the largest shareholder of Sachs Enterprises.Noel looked at the looks of disbelief on Simon and Sonny's face and sneered.She had wanted to show her trump card only when the Sachs really provoked her to her last straw, but she could not hold herself back and desperately ached for the chance to stand tall and proud before them. So she sat in the chairman's seat during Sachs Enterprises' board of directors' meeting without giving it much thought.The feeling of looking down on all of them from her place of power was great!"If there are no fur
"Let him go!" Simon suddenly walked in, and the security guards looked at Noel.Noel decided to leave her father some dignity and instructed them to let Sonny go.The moment Sonny shook himself free, he charged toward Noel, intending to beat her up, but Simon held him back. "That's enough, you useless bum!"Sonny had no fear for anything in this world with the sole exception of his father.He quietened down immediately upon Simon's scolding.Noel looked at Sonny and sneered.It made Sonny's blood boil so much that he desperately wanted to kill Noel."Noel, give me your shares. We're still family and I promise not to pursue matters regarding what happened today." Simon tried his best to remain calm and even spoke in a kind manner.Noel burst out laughing. "Dad, I finally know now why Cordy hates the Sachs family so much. That's because everyone in our family is so disgusting!"Simon's face darkened with displeasure."I have no idea what gives you the right to ask me to give
News of Noel taking over Sachs Enterprises was trending online.No one expected meek and gentle Noel to transform into the chairman of Sachs Enterprises, taking over Simon when he was still in the prime of his life.Public reception toward Noel was mixed.The most popular comment was about how outstanding the daughters of the Sachs family were, regardless of what happened.Noel was so, and so was Cordy.Simon, on the other hand, no longer had true authority over the Sachs household and became the butt of everyone's jokes in the commercial circle.Simon was unable to swallow the humiliation.Of course, it was not just Simon alone who was mad, for Plum and Sue were equally in a rage.At the Sachs' residence, Plum's blood boiled as she yelled in anger, "To think I treated Noel so well! I've raised an ingrate, that's what I've done! She's done us so much harm behind our backs, I really wish I could slap her to death!"She turned to Sue and said angrily, "It's all your fault for gi
