Chapter 376
Cordy stared at Patrick, and then admitted, *1 have no guarantee that I can be helpful in your
campaign against Jessica Stuart. The best thing I can do at the moment is to improve the value of our
partnership."
"And that's enough," Patrick replied. "If you're going for something big, rushing things would only ruin
everything, even your previous achievements."
"Well, shouldn't I at least report our business strategy?"
"It's fine," he said. "I'm just an investor. You have full authority on the rest."
"Of course." Cordy did not press him, since he was mostly involved in politics and wasn’t exactly
learned in business.

"Sorry, but I'll be busy for the next couple days," Cordy refused. "I'm picking up my son from school."
"Well then, I shan't impose," Patrick said politely, his fine upbringing and considerate nature obvious.
"Here's my number. Do keep in touch."
"Okay."
Patrick left after they exchanged contact methods, and William's side of the family received word as
soon as he left.
Jessica was scowling terribly, just like her brother James. "What's the point of securing a partnership
with Cordy Sachs?"
James growled, "He obviously wants a venture into business. He probably thinks he could walk over us
if he does!"
He smiled in contempt; Monty Stuart's health was declining, after all.
It was certainly a stark contrast to William Stuart's activeness in capital politics, which was slowly
pulling the family's support to their side. There was no way Patrick could turn the tables—and certainly
not now!
"Still, Cordy Sachs? He could’ve asked anyone else! Does he really think she could help him secure a
foothold in business? He gives her too much credit!" Jessica was certainly prejudiced against Cordy.
"She's not to be underestimated," William suddenly spoke, and both siblings were immediately
respectful.
Turning towards them, he added, 'Otherwise, she would’ve been behind bars by now."
Jessica hung her head in embarrassment, but James quickly defended her. "That's mainly because
John Levine was helping her in secret!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"And that's why that man is the key," William growled coolly. "As long as he doesn't marry Jessica, our
foothold will remain shaky. The way I see it, Patrick approached Cordy because he intends to draw
John to his cause. It is a fine move on his part!"
"But John isn't giving in, and we really shouldn't push him—"
"It's time I speak with Alan again. This knot must be tied." William's eyes narrowed viciously, his gaze
so sharp anyone who saw it would feel a child down their spine.
A week later, John headed straight to Cordy's home the instant he returned to North City.
It was already ten in the evening, and Cordy had just coaxed Dicky to sleep.
She was surprised to see John standing at the doorway and obviously looking tired, but quickly
explained, "Dicky's asleep. You or Winston can pick him up after school tomorrow." "We need to talk,"
he said, staring sharply at her despite his tired appearance.
