"Because what goes around comes around for wicked people." Cordy said each word clearly."For wicked people?! Aren't you wicked as well?!" Noel accused Cordy wildly."I'm not," Cordy said firmly, "I've never thought of bringing anyone down.""You've never thought of…yet you indirectly caused the death of so many who want to bring you down! Kyle, me, even the Stuarts…" Noel exclaimed, almost breaking down.She probably felt that Cordy enjoyed a very good life.Cordy clearly had many enemies, yet ended up escaping unscathed time and time again, even being blessed through calamities.Conversely, it took so much for Noel to plot and scheme, and she ended up in such a terrible plight."Noel, if you called me here today just to vent your frustrations, pardon me for not being able to entertain you," Cordy said as she stood to leave.She was not that kind-hearted as to help Noel relieve her pent-up frustrations inside.Noel's terrible plight right now was nothing but her own doing, an

"Noel, what you should be doing now is to cooperate with the police and admit your mistakes. For all you know, that might lighten your sentence." Cordy gave Noel her sincerest suggestion.Over the years, this was the greatest show of compassion she extended to someone related to her by blood."But what can I do after I get released? I'll be looked down upon by others in disdain, called names, and spat on like a rat on the streets!" Tears filled Noel's eyes at the prospect she had spoken of.Sorrow rose from within her.Cordy, on the other hand, remained unmoved."Cordy, do you know what the greatest wish in my entire life is?""I don't want to know.""My greatest wish is to defeat you and make everyone in the Sachs family bow down to me.""At the very least, you achieved that for a short while.""No, I didn't. I have never defeated you, never! Yes, I have been jealous of you ever since we were young. From the first time I saw you, I knew you were more beautiful than I am. You

Three years later, North City was as prosperous and bustling as it had always been.In Sachs Enterprises' board meeting, Cordy was seated right at the center.Simon sat next to her, his face dark as thunder.Who could imagine that after Noel was sentenced to jail three years ago, she would unconditionally transfer all her shares of Sachs Enterprises to Cordy?Cordy did not help Noel fight the lawsuit, and Noel was not served the death sentence. Instead, she was sentenced to seven years of jail time.Of course, Cordy did not reject Noel's offer.At the very least, it was better than letting Simon get his hands on the shares.When Simon found out that the company's shares were all transferred to Cordy, he almost had a heart attack and died on the spot.He had thought that Noel might keep the shares to herself. He never imagined that she would give it all to Cordy.Wasn't Cordy the person she hated the most in this whole world?!It was then that he realized how much that pair of

Technically speaking, after Simon lost his position as the chairman, there was no other position left in Sachs Enterprises for him. But he pulled together other directors and confronted Cordy, forcing her to give him the position of general manager in Sachs Enterprises on the basis that he had been managing the company all along, while Cordy seldom came to the office and it would not be ideal to hire a general manager externally.Cordy did not reject his suggestion, for there was no need for her to. As Simon had a significant portion of the company's shares, he would certainly put in his best foot forward in managing Sachs Enterprises.Of course, that was what she had thought. Unfortunately, Simon was truly incapable."Yes?" Simon said in response.He had never shown Cordy much respect, be in small or big meetings.He continued to remain stuck up and prideful."Compared to last month, your KPI targets have dropped by 3%. How did you arrive at 3%?" Cordy asked."Don't you know th

"Of course, to motivate the leaders to be more proactive, what else?" Simon said in a self-justified manner. After all, everyone seated at the table were at the management level and they would all side with him on this matter. He was clearly doing this to please the management so that they would remain loyal to him. "Since everyone seated here is at the management level, I'll be frank. Everyone knows the 20/80 rule, in which 20% of the people own 80% of the wealth in this world! I was merely adhering to this principle."Cordy chuckled.He made it sound so self-righteous.She knew clearly that Simon was simply trying to weaken her power through the management. Even if all of Sachs Enterprises' shares ended up in her hands, he had the company's management in his hands. To be blunt, he still had the final say in Sachs Enterprises.How naive."Chairman Sachs, please don't find anything wrong with this. Everyone who can climb to such a position is capable in their own right; they eithe

Those directors who were going against Cordy were the ones who were not contributing much to the company.Their faces were dark with displeasure as well."Stop keeping us in suspense. What exactly are you proposing?" the director said coldly."Very simple. The additional 5 to 10% salary is based on performance. In other words, as long as the director achieves their targets, I'll reward him or her with an up to 10% increase in their salary. If the targets are not met, they will be penalized with a 5 to 10% cut in their salaries," Cordy said clearly.Naturally, everyone was reluctant to accept her suggestion.However, Cordy did not give them a chance to speak up. "I said that I am in full agreement with what President Sachs said earlier, but verbal recognition isn't that much meaningful. True recognition should be accompanied by tangible benefits, and the best way I can think of to highlight the gap between the leadership board and our employees is a performance commission.""Chair

Cordy left Sachs Enterprises' office building in her car and drove toward Starstream Group's office building.Randy methodically reported to her the next appointment in her schedule. "Boss, there's a director's meeting at Starstream Group in half an hour which is scheduled to end at 11.30 AM. There's an interview by a finance magazine at 1.30 PM. The editor-in-chief will conduct the interview right in your office and I've already requested for them to keep the interview within 40 minutes."At 3.08 PM, high-end brand SHE of Galaxy Center, Lux City's international mall, requests your attendance at their ribbon-cutting ceremony for their launch. The event will be live-streamed, and the make-up artist will arrive at your office half an hour before the event. There's a business dinner at 6 PM for which I've already arranged for someone from the public relations department to attend with you."Cordy looked outside the window as she listened on."Tomorrow, I've pushed away all work appoin

Cordy drank the honey water while re-reading Dicky's note, his show of love and concern for her.These three years, Dicky was like a ball of warmth that never failed to love and take care of her.He was clearly still a child, yet he was trying to grow up overnight into a man.Cordy sipped on the cup of honey water and brought the warm milk upstairs. She hesitated for a moment at the stairwell before finally deciding to go into Dicky's room.Dicky was already asleep.He was sleeping very soundly.After all, his days at school were long and tiring.She leaned over and kissed him on the forehead.If she did not have Dicky, she was not sure if it was possible for her to survive over the past three years.She was not sure if she could hang on and live well for the next three, or even thirty, years.For some reason, as time went on, her longing for John became deeper and deeper with time.It had become so deep that she sometimes felt possessed.Wasn't it said that time heals all

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
