Chapter 701

Hailey scoffed. "So, I'm right. Zoe was trying to buy your vote.""I'm merely giving an actress the fairest assessment from my own personal perspective," Jay replied."Me too," Hailey said sternly. "That's why it doesn't matter what her objective was, or what dramatic events she experienced before that affected her life. I can’t bring myself to appreciate cutting corners, because the stage demands a grounded performance. Either way, she won't earn any points with me."Jay was about to argue when Zoe quickly said, "Thank you, Miss Zimmerman and Mr. Parker. I profoundly understand that I had been lacking. I’ll correct myself should I still have the opportunity to show my respect for the stage, the judges, and the audience."She nodded solemnly, afraid of having the judges argue over her and in turn getting flamed online.She yearned badly for a resurgence, but the less she was involved in any scandals, the better; she wanted a clean pedestal.Still, she was surprised Jay would help

Chapter 702

The one not picked would be eliminated automatically.Every judge hence wrote the name of the actor they had in mind, while the host kept everyone in suspense before asking them to present it.In the end, Jay picked Zoe.Zoe bit her lip; it was at once surprising yet expected, but she had no idea if she should be pleased. As everyone filed down the stage, the eliminated actress deliberately gave Zoe a knock on the shoulder, unable to hide her dissatisfaction despite attempting to hide it. She was convinced Zoe stole her spot—why was she the one being eliminated after Hailey gave Zoe that horrific lashing?!However, Zoe didn’t hold it against the actress because she understood how the latter felt.Even she would feel discontent if she were eliminated. Moreover, she was still wondering now if she survived by going through the backdoor that Jay opened for her.How should she put it? She was really surprised!But one way or another, she managed to survive, even making it into

Chapter 703

Quinn said, "I mean, it's not like straight is the only way these days…""Hold it right there," Zoe promptly stopped her. "I'm straight. Super straight!" Don't put it as if she wasn't!-When they arrived at the restaurant and strode into the lobby, Zoe paused for a brief moment. She felt like she had seen something she should not be seeing.Quinn followed her gaze to find a rather familiar figure. Zoe's eyes turned moist as she watched the man from the back, and murmured, "John…?"She kept herself cut off from everything after leaving North City for a very long time, without checking the news or watching TV. She was hence oblivious to a great many things. When she thought that she had calmed down enough, she found out about John's death from the news.It had been six months since the time, and she had forgotten how she felt when she saw the headline.All she knew was that her tears were gushing, and she felt the impulse to call Cordy.But… What was there to ask after so

Chapter 704

"Fine."Quinn didn’t push them at that point—her best friend's health and career was more important than a brief moment of fun.With that, the trio shambled out of their private room. They had really drunk too much out of a moment of impulse. Cordy could barely keep her guts in, which was churning the instant she reached the walkway. "I need the ladies' room."She rushed towards the shared washroom outside without a pause, but moved so quickly she didn’t have time to see which one she ran inside."Blargh…" She was vomiting her guts out in front of the sink in no time at all, feeling sick again as soon as she paused for a moment.It really had been a while since she drank.Back when her insomnia started, Jim suggested alcohol, but it proved useless and even left her with head-splitting headaches.She didn’t drink much since then, but indulged herself this time since it was rare to hang out with Quinn and Zoe."Blargh…"She started vomiting again after a couple seconds, and

Chapter 705

Zoe and Quinn both rushed into the men's room. They had been feeling dazed, and so never realized that they should go into the washroom with Cordy to help her out. Still, they were startled when they heard the loud thud inside, and charged inside without noticing that it was the men's room…where they were left astonished.They both wondered if they were hallucinating from all that alcohol. Why else would they see Cordy in such an embarrassing position?One must understand that she was a goddess, perfect in manners and bearing, never once losing dignity in public.And yet, right now… Both Zoe and Quinn were blinking in disbelief, staring at Cordy after she pulled down a man's pants and before falling before his feet.It was a sight that burnt itself into one's memory; both Zoe and Quinn forgot to help Cordy, their eyes drifting simultaneously from Cordy up to the man's muscular long legs, and the black boxers that were hugging his rounded posterior. They were too drunk to both

Chapter 706

Cordy had seen 'that' alright.It really hurt her eyes to see it; she needed to wash them when she got home."So I wasn't imagining it?" Zoe's face turned paler.While Cordy and Quinn were both left perplexed, Zoe panickily tugged on Cordy's sleeve. "He must have some grudge that keeps him here to rise from the grave like that! That's why he's haunting us… Come on, we have to visit his grave right this instant!""Visit whose grave?" Cordy was perplexed, suddenly realizing that Zoe was operating on a completely different wavelength from herself. Was Zoe really that drunk?"His grave, of course!" Zoe said solemnly. "He must be getting lonely.""What… Oh?!"Cordy yelped as Zoe started dragging her away. Her body was already aching from the fall just now, and her ankles were swollen.And now, she was getting dragged unceremoniously around by Zoe!Next time…No, there wouldn’t be a next time. She was never drinking with them again, but if she had to, she wouldn’t get drunk!Res

"To light a candle and put some flowers at his grave, of course," Zoe said, as if it made perfect sense."What, did you see a ghost?" Cordy frowned in bemusement. "Yeah!" Zoe nodded repeatedly. "You saw him too, didn't you?""When?" "You just did… Whatever, you were drunk," Zoe snorted, not bothered to elaborate.Who was the one drunk here again?!"Let's go," Zoe said, and quickly dragged both of them towards the graveyard."Hold it." Quinn stopped her. "Are you sure we're going in there? In the middle of the night?""I mean, I have to light a candle and put some flowers at his grave, right?" "Zoe, are you—""Zip it! Let's move."Zoe refused to let them speak and kept shoving them inside.The graveyard was dimly lit, though the rows of graves were clean and tidy.Only the rich and powerful of North City can be interred here. In fact, it cost so much to buy a lot here that the most expensive apartment units in the city were cheaper.For Zoe's part, she never saw the poi

Cordy stared quietly at the headstone, and at the familiar face on the ceramic photo. That face that could only be seen in photos now, so close yet so far…The agony in her heart struck her like a thunderstorm, and she completely lost control as her tears gushed endlessly.It had been three years, but she believed she would never forget John, even if thirty years had passed."Cordy..."Zoe walked up to her side, feeling a little guilty.She was spurred by a drunken impulse to bring Cordy here. Had she known this would happen, she would’ve come alone.John probably just wanted some flowers and candles, and they would just leave them here and be done with it.Cordy bit her lip, trying to hide her feelings. She really hated letting her feelings out.And yet, there was no controlling it when it hurt so much."Let's just go." Zoe had no idea what else to say, other than taking Cordy and leaving as soon as they were done here.In fact, she was worried Cordy could die from the ago

Zoe cried, "W-What should we do?"The shock left her helpless."What else can we do?! Put out the fire!" Quinn snapped."Oh, right!" Zoe exclaimed, and promptly took off her coat.Quinn followed suit, and Cordy had no choice but to follow.The trio did their best, but just as they put it out…"What are you doing?!" A voice barked in the darkness.Zoe thought that she would have died hundreds of times over if she had a bad heart.Nonetheless, the trio turned to find a security guard dressed in uniform, scowling as he barked at them, "Got yourselves drunk and came to set the place on fire, did we?"Zoe began, "Look, gramps—""Who are you calling gramps?!" The man was further incensed. “I'm just in my thirties!"Zoe was left speechless for a moment, wondering how white his hair was for a thirtyish man. Still, she said, "Look, friend, we're not here to burn things or anything. We're just here to visit a grave, and the candle we brought somehow set the flowers on fire. But see? W

Chapter 710

Zoe asked innocently, "Then… Can we bail each other?""What do you think?"Zoe sighed quietly, afraid from blurting the “Yes” she had in mind.In fact, she had no intention of making things awkward for the cops. She really had no one who could post bail for her.She had no relatives and no other friends than the pair with her here.Cordy understood Zoe's misgivings, and was left wondering how things became of Zoe and her biological mother.But since Zoe didn’t want to say, Cordy wouldn’t ask.Cordy sent a text on Whatsapp, before calling Randy to post bail…until she gasped in surprise. "What?! You're on your honeymoon?""You approved my leave immediately too, Miss Sachs!" Randy was on the verge of tears. The man had just left town with his new bride, but if he rushed back in the night now, he would end up marrying his job instead."Oh, right. Sorry, I forgot." Cordy remembered then, along with the approval she gave."I delegated my tasks to Walter…""Yeah, I know. Happy ho
