Cordy glanced at John.She had much to say, but was reluctant to say it in front of Richard.As for Richard, he did not dare to ask more questions under John's watchful eye.Still, Cordy stayed there for lunch and coaxed Richard into taking a nap before leaving.John rode home with her at the backseat, with Hendy driving.The car was quiet until Cordy spoke. "John.""Yeah." He turned toward her. "I may have a blemished past," she said. "But I'm not a loose woman either."John said nothing, but he was obviously taken aback."I understand that you're successful, and women would love you, even throw themselves at you. I also wouldn't deny that anyone likes beautiful things, and neither you nor her might be at fault too—but it's against my principles. I'll be fine if we all stay as friends, but I won't try to go further for anything else."The car just happened to stop below Cordy's apartment block just then and she opened the door, striding away right then and leaving John look

Vince Cartman arrived with a document just then. "Ms. Sachs? The sales report for the first wave is here.""Show it to me," Cordy said calmly. Even as he passed it to her, Vince was reporting excitedly, "It's far beyond what we predicted—sales began at 10 am sharp today, and the more popular designs were sold out in seconds. Sales of the other designs also rose over thirty percent from our forecast, and counting. The numbers from physical stores are still pending, but the feedback nationwide is that they are selling like hotcakes, and they are too busy to count. Even the supplies are barely meeting the demand."Cordy could not resist smiling at that, even as Vince took out an iPad and tapped on the photo gallery. "Humphrey Wickers—our director of sales—has just arrived at the biggest mall in the city for an on-site survey, and here are the photos of our retail stores. Retail stores of other brands on the same floor are basically empty, though it's the same story for retail stores o

Kyle calmed down right then. "What do you mean?"Even so, Noel still looked annoyed, as Kyle's mockery and outburst left her utterly disgruntled.She used to bear with his outbursts because she wanted him.Now that she had zero interest in him, all he said only filled her with spite."Sorry I got a little emotional, Noel," Kyle said, naturally noticing that he had been too harsh, quickly turning mild-mannered as he could clearly tell that Noel had a plan. "Please understand—I'm just worried that you're still helping your sister after she used you."While Noel was not that understanding, she did not get petty since Kyle was still useful to her. "You see, since Starstream Fashion is now wildly popular, every article on them is positive, with the media and netizens flattering them to no end. But if a scandal suddenly hits at this juncture, do you really think Starstream Fashion would retain their popularity? In fact, I expect a dramatic turn of the tide."Though Kyle quickly underst

Afterwards, Kyle and Noel flirted a little before Noel hung up, her eyes projecting savagery just then. She wanted to expose Cordy not only because of the reason she told Kyle, after all.She wanted to make John utterly disgusted toward Cordy, so that she would have a chance to steal him!-After a week of unprecedentedly high sales figures, Starstream Fashion's autumn collection had shortages nationwide. Cordy promptly decided on another large-scale production instead of going the hunger marketing route.She certainly did not expect the autumn collection to sell so well they would go out of stock! Her ideals in fashion were just like her mother's, too—so that the clothing they designed personally could reach as many people as possible.However, just after the production was completed and the second batch was about to hit the market, a certain scandalous expose made the headlines: The Deplorable Path to Success of Cordy Sachs, Owner of Starstream Group!The details were ela

Gary Bryant, the head of the sales department, rushed into Cordy's office just then, clearly agitated."Ms. Sachs…" As Cordy lowered her phone to look at him, he cried, "What should we do, Ms. Sachs? Every customer is now demanding a refund and the physical retail stores are crowded with them. All malls nationwide are also complaining to us, demanding that we produce a solution.""Ms. Sachs!" Tim Hardy, the head of purchasing, soon rushed inside as well. "We have multiple suppliers demanding payment, or they would sue!""Ms. Sachs, our customer service department is really falling apart. The lines are all busy, and none of the customers are listening to us…"Cordy pursed her lips as she looked at her anxious executives. "I'll hold a meeting in ten minutes. Everyone must be there—I will be presenting a comprehensive solution to this crisis. You all may go now.""Yes, Ms. Sachs," they replied, and left despite their worry.If this situation continued and their autumn collection f

In the end, they were just strangers who made a passing acquaintance. "I'll enforce a press gag as soon as possible. Send me your account number—I'll wire any amount of capital you're short of," John eventually said, but his neutral voice obscured any emotion he felt. "I have a PR time specializing on crisis mitigation who's abroad at the moment, but I'll have them fly here by tomorrow morning. Just spare some time, and I'll arrange for a meeting."Cordy bit her lip.She actually did not yearn for any help from anyone at this time—especially after all that she had been through. Back when she was just eighteen, she had been mocked and ridiculed. No one stood up for her, and her biological father considered her such an embarrassment that he could not wait to send her abroad so that his reputation would not be ruined.This was the exact same situation, and everyone could not wait to cut ties with her…That was, everyone except John and Zoe.Confusion showed in Cordy's eyes just

John's fingers eased around his golden fountain pen just then, as Randy's words seemed to offer him assurance.As for Randy, he was heaving a subtle sigh of relief—thank goodness he was sharp enough, or the days ahead would be disastrous. "I'll be constantly keeping an eye on things over there too, sir," he quickly added. "I won't ever let her be hurt by those loathsome dirtbags.""Good," John replied, and finally turned his attention to his computer, returning to his own work.-The atmosphere at the conference room in Starstream Group was immeasurably grim.They had never been a major enterprise, but things had always been calm, and they had never faced such a terrible crisis.At wit's end, no one could hide their anxiety and panic at all.Suddenly, someone spoke."Sis, have you thought of a solution? If this goes on, I'm worried that our company would…"Noel deliberately allowed her words to trail off, while appearing to look apprehensive as well.Cordy looked at her jus

"I believe in you too, Ms. Sachs," Stacy quickly chimed in. "It wasn't easy for Starstream Group to turn over a new leaf, and it's not worth falling to this setback. I'm with you as we do all we can to resolve this crisis.""We're with you too, Ms. Sachs!"All at once, the atmosphere was charged by the sudden show of solidarity with Cordy.Noel was naturally scowling slightly—Cordy had genuinely surpassed her expectations.Forget being calm despite the serious crisis and the prospect of bankruptcy—she had somehow managed to draw everyone to her cause even now!Still, Noel's eyes flashed dangerously. So what if everyone was standing with Cordy? It was just an appeal to emotion. She would never believe that Cordy could save Starstream Group on her own!-And yet, Noel's face fell the instant she returned to the office.Every article of Cordy's scandal which topped search trends had been removed—all of them!There was nothing on Cordy, and while there were more than a few thr
