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
She always had her say in the Sachs household!"What exactly were you thinking when you put Cordy down in front of the media, saying that the Sachs family will never beg her for help for anything? Now you've cut off our only hope! You have no sense at all, despite being so advanced in years!" Simon scolded.He shifted all blame and responsibility to Plum."You…how dare you say that of me?! I'm your mother, Simon. Aren't you afraid of karma?!" Plum's face paled as she yelled back."If you weren't my mother, I would have chased you out of the house long ago! You're so ungrateful even after enjoying good times at our house for so many years!" Anger rose in Simon's chest as he spoke.The thought of him being the butt of everyone else's jokes made him furious with nowhere to vent his anger.After he was done yelling at Plum, he suddenly stood up from the couch and kicked the coffee table. The cups on the table smashed on the floor, making a huge commotion.After that, he left upstair
Plum decided to come to a compromise eventually.How could she allow Noel to climb all over their heads?!She was being completely unruly!As long as she could get the shares back from Cordy, she would make hell for that wretched Noel.Plum brought Sue along to Starstream Group's office building, where Cordy was in a meeting. Because of some issues that cropped up at the last bid invitation, they had to regroup and replan things again.The three companies that placed their bids gave up on them eventually. They needed to call for bids again or alternatively, invest in their own manufacturing plant.Due to the many factors they had to consider, the meeting took very long.After the meeting ended and everyone filed out of the room, Vince whispered in Cordy's ears, "Ms. Sachs, your grandmother is waiting for you in your office."Cordy tensed up.Vince immediately explained, "She kicked up a fuss at the reception and I couldn't interrupt you during the meeting. To keep things in
