Meanwhile, Quinn entered Ryan's car.She did not actually ask him to come—he just happened to call her to consult her on a legal issue.She asked if it was urgent, to which he said yes.She in turn told him where he was and asked for a ride.Her face was pale, and she was shivering even as she got in his car."Still feeling cold?" Ryan asked—the weather was turning warm, but one would still find it chilly on occasion.And when he helped her into his car, she felt icy to the touch."I'm fine," Quinn forced a smile as she looked up at Ryan. "Sorry for taking so much of your time.""Don't say things like that. I was going to your office to consult you today anyway and called you before that since you might not be in," Ryan said mildly, trying his best not to put Quinn on the spot. "By the way, were you having a fight with Sam? Was he the one who left you in the middle of nowhere?""I guess," Quinn replied indifferently. "How could he behave like this?" Ryan grumbled, scowling j

Cordy gave in to John.She was willing to believe in love again for his sake.John in turn gazed upon her in his arms, feeling her body's warmth and the strength with which she tightened her arms around his waist further with each second.There was a smile on his lips. Even if the price he paid was a little too costly, this made it worth it.Nothing else mattered other than her.He in turn gathered her tightly in his arms. Feeling her in his arms with such certainty left his heart racing uncontrollably too.They simply embarrassed each other like that, with neither letting go because they were not going to.There was no telling how long had passed when John had to stifle a cough, and Cordy finally realized with a start.She most certainly had been greedy about feeling him there with her, worried that he would vanish if she let him go again.Even if she was rejoicing, she was still caught in lingering fear of almost losing him in this trial.Nonetheless, she reluctantly pull

On the other hand, John was getting even grumpier as Cordy was not responding. "You're actually still hesitating? Do you even have a conscience? How much further do I have to go for you to actually accept me and stand by my side in the open?"John became more agitated the more he ranted, "What, do I have to gouge my heart out to show my sincerity—umph…"His eyes suddenly widened as Cordy stood on her toes, pressing her lips against his.The anger in his eyes turned to tenderness right then.Men are really easy, aren't they? John wrapped his arms around her, intending on going further… but she pulled away. "Skipping out on responsibility after flirting with me, huh?" he growled through his teeth."No," Cordy shook her head. "But you were so noisy."John's face fell, stunned that she would scorn him for that!But she was the only one he would talk so much around, spilling his guts and all that, not shying away from baring his heart!And she scorned him!But just as he was ab

Thank goodness they had not left! The reporters would miss their exclusive headlines otherwise!There was no doubt that Cordy and John's appearance immediately sent the journalists into a frenzy, and they quickly surrounded the couple.Cordy's four bodyguards were actually all waiting outside the courthouse throughout, but they kept their distance since they were not that tactless they would interrupt her tender moment with John. When they hurried forward to help when they saw Cordy being mobbed by the journalists, Cordy gave them a look, stopping them.Today, she actually wanted to have a proper talk with the press."Mr. Levine, seeing that you're leaving the courthouse while holding hands with Ms. Sachs… could this mean what we think it means?""Mr. Levine, it was a beautifully executed reversal at the trial. Could you give us a word on how you feel right now?""Mr. Levine, are you in a relationship with Ms. Sachs? What about Jessica Stuart?"They were so rowdy John and Cord

"So, you're convinced that Jessica wasn't aware that her family was prepared to make me their scapegoat?" John asked the journalist in return. "Even when I was still abroad, she was the one in charge of every foreign account Stuart Holdings owned.""Are you saying that Jessica loved you but was not shying away from using you as a scapegoat too?" The journalist was certainly quick on his feet."Who knows?" John shrugged, refusing to give a direct answer. "You should be asking Jessica that question.""In any case, the truth is out—the Stuarts would soon have their punishment, while your relationship with Ms. Sachs can finally bloom!" the journalist exclaimed. "Congratulations!" "Thank you." Both Cordy and John appeared cordial just then."Can you offer some insights into your relationship? Ms. Sachs, were you happy back when Mr. Levine got engaged to Jessica? Were you supportive of him doing this to defend himself?""Absolutely not," Cordy said loudly and clearly, not hiding her d

Cordy was almost speechless. "Why are you being jealous? Patrick would never be interested in me.""I was actually jealous of Zoe before," John suddenly admitted.Cordy gaped at him. How petty could he get?!"I mean, she was in bed with you," John said, looking everywhere except at her."How are you still alive with all that jealousy inside?" Cordy asked, almost at a loss for words."You just have to make it up to me," John replied as if it made perfect sense.Cordy rolled her eyes—give the man an inch, and he would take a mile. "By the way, did you really only recently notice that the Stuarts had someone impersonate you for their crimes?" Cordy suddenly asked seriously.While a lot of facts were made clear at the trial, there were still many things she did not quite get."Nope," John said, never hiding anything from her. "I'm a businessman. I prioritize my personal gain above all else." "So…""I found out early on. I just didn't do anything about it.""And you would've l

Cordy became nervous right then. "Sean did? But why?"She was convinced that John liquidated the Levines' family estate to protect themselves and steer clear from more conflicts. She thought that John, like his grandfather, was done with the vicissitudes of life and would rather enjoy whatever they had left instead. She did not expect that the Cranstons were involved at all!"You should be able to guess," John reminded her despite seeing her reaction.Cordy's heart skipped a beat—that was the answer she least wanted."Yes," John said slowly and clearly. "He's asking me to work for him, but he needs me to have a more discreet capacity to assist him, and Levine Ventures draws too much attention." "Assist him?" Cordy asked. "With what? What are his ambitions?""Well, the Cranstons have a family dispute just like the Stuarts," John explained. "The Stuarts' disputes are between different branches of the family, whereas the Cranston brothers are in the midst of a power struggle. Sea

"More or less."Cordy did not want to make her happiness obvious, as she was selfishly convinced that only John was allowed to see it. "Well, I'm afraid I have to be a killjoy," Patrick said, his tone clearly serious just then.Cordy frowned slightly, but it was enough for John to notice that reaction and stare fixedly at her."You see, I have news: Jessica is missing," Patrick said very clearly then."Missing?" Cordy's heart skipped a beat, as if something horrible would happen."After John exposed Jessica's side of the family at his trial, they, along with my grandfather and myself were brought in to assist with the investigation. James was placed under arrest since there was enough evidence against him, but when William, my grandfather, and myself were released, the authorities informed us that Jessica went missing the instant they moved to arrest her, and was told that she was not in Rocktown.""Maybe she went to the capital?" Cordy asked—that was where Fred Cranston was, a
