Cordy had thought that she would see John again sooner or later, but she did not expect it to be under such circumstances.She also thought that John and Jessica would not have the time to bring Richard out, given how busy they had been over the past few days, which was why she chose to take Richard during this period. Had she known…she probably would not have come, as much as she wanted to.She looked casually at John, being careful not to gaze at him for too long while not being overly evasive. She wanted to treat him just as she would any other stranger—neutral and normal."Daddy, may I go to Mommy's place?" Richard looked pleasingly at John and asked. John swallowed, and he shifted his eyes away from Cordy.He said to Richard, "Sure.""Thank you, Daddy." Richard could not hold back his joy.He shook Cordy's arm excitedly. "Mommy, Daddy has agreed for me to follow you to your place!"Cordy shot Richard a bright smile and turned back to look at John. "Thank you."John clenc

Richard pouted.He had never said that he wanted to take care of Jessica, his 'godmother', when she grew old.Even her status as his godmother was something she had forced upon him.Cordy simply listened to the conversation between Richard and Jessica.She remained silent, and so did John.Only Jessica and Richard could be heard in the queue, mostly with Jessica taking the initiative to tease Richard and him going along with it.After half an hour, it was finally their turn."Shall we ride together?" Jessica enthused.The Ferris wheel carriage was very large, enough to accommodate eight passengers."No need," Cordy rejected immediately. "We shan't interrupt your date.""It's all right," Jessica said generously."There are so many reporters around. It's not good if they film us together." Cordy was straightforward with her words.Clearly, she had noticed the hoard of people around them.Jessica turned to look at John, as if to seek his opinion."Let's sit separately," he s

Of course, she would never let John know about these.The only thing she would let John know was that she was absolutely clueless about the sudden official announcement of their engagement. She was also forced to accept it, and she would even be willing to cooperate with John to break the engagement.Being in a relationship was similar to business negotiations. Blindly charging forward was never the way to go—she had to strategize and make plans."John, I added Cordy on her socials just now."John turned to look at her.It was as if she had to mention Cordy's name for John to pay attention to her."Should I explain to her about things between us?" Jessica said, well-intentioned."There's no need to." John rejected."She seems to have misunderstood us greatly.""All the more you need to avoid it." John was straightforward.Jessica pursed her lips.His words did nothing to ease the worry in her heart.She did not expect John to become so distant from her in just half a year

Back at the Sachs' residence, Plum was hopping with anger."Grandma, don't be so angry," Noel said, comforting Plum. "She's probably not feeling too good after John's engagement news, that's why she lost control and said those harsh words to you.""She had it coming!" Plum yelled. "She didn't know her place and seduced John, having a pipe dream of getting married into a wealthy family!""Cordy did think a little too highly of herself. How could we ever be worthy of a family like the Levines?" Noel said with a helpless look on her face, "But we live and learn. Let's hope that Cordy has learned her lesson this time."Despite what she said on the outside, Noel was not in fact happy with how things turned out. She thought that she would be capable of seducing whoever Cordy managed to get her hands on and was fantasizing about finding the golden opportunity to snatch John away from Cordy. It turned out that John was already engaged, and it was someone with such an intimidating backgro

Jessica left North City on Monday, and news outlets were filled with images of John sending her off and the two of them parting reluctantly at the airport.Cordy wondered if there really were no other news worthy of reporting in North City. Were there no other delicious scandals in the entertainment circle? News of John and Jessica had been circling around for an entire week and pictures of them could be seen no matter which news outlet one browsed.She put down her phone and walked into the senior management meeting room. A meeting on Starstream Fashion launching a high-end brand was ongoing.Because her identity as lovely was exposed, many merchants have been knocking on their doors, wanting to cooperate with Starstream. It presented Starstream Group with a business opportunity, given their limited resources, in which they could achieve a win-win situation by expanding their marketing efforts through increased financing.The key now was to choose the best merchant.Cordy attende
