Chapter 399
Noel was attending the charity ball too, but as board chairwoman of Sachs Enterprises.
Sachs Enterprises would never make the list of the Stuarts' grandest annual charity ball, and it was
Jessica who personally extended an invitation to Noel. Jessica said that since they were partners, she
should give Noel more opportunities if it was within her abilities.
Noel was beside herself with joy, and went out of her way to brag in front of her family. After all, she
was no longer staying at the family's mansion, having bought herself another that was much grander
than theirs.
Still, Sue met her in private. She appeared to be happy for Noel, saying that she and Noel could finally
hold their own in the Sachs family. She also added that Plum had been kept miserably in house arrest
at the mansion by Simon himself.
Despite all her fawning, it was clear Sue wanted to win Noel over and take a cut of the Sachs's family
estate. However, Noel was no pushover. She grew up watching Sue, and knew very well what Sue was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtscheming-once Sue earned Noel’s favor, she would slowly siphon off the shares on Sachs Enterprises
that Noel owned until everything was returned to Sonny Sachs.
Noel naturally didn't humor Sue, and had the latter thrown out even as she promptly dropped all
disguises, screaming and cursing Noel.
No one would take even a single percentage of her shares!
Naturally, Noel had worked hard on her dress and makeup as she strutted along the red carpet of the
Stuarts' charity ball, intent on stealing the spotlight and flaunting herself in that prestigious event.
What she didn't expect, however, was that none of the journalists were calling out to her despite her
deliberately slow pace-or looking at her, for that matter. She definitely made headlines and caused an
uproar in business when she took control over Sachs Enterprises, but since then, she hadn’t received
not even one interview.
Though she had already thought about what to say when she made the public appearance she looked
forward to, no one even looked her way.
She walked very slowly, even posing a little to draw attention-even so, everyone was summarily
refusing to interview her.
Just as she wondered if Rocktown's journalists were harder to please, the journalists flocking at the
other end were suddenly bursting with excitement.
Noel turned to find Patrick and Cordy alighting from a black Rolls Royce, instantly becoming the focus
of the red carpet as everyone turned towards them. In fact, the journalists were all so eager that Noel
thought she was imagining it.
It frustrated Noel considerably, but she assured herself that the journalists were just being enthusiastic
about Patrick's arrival.
After all, the Stuarts' statuses were simply different-and since they were the hosts, Noel owed them
deference.
And yet, that was when she heard countless journalists bombarding Cordy Sachs with so many
questions, none of which had anything to do with the Stuarts.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat gave Cordy the right to flaunt in front of Noel?! Cordy was basically trampling all over Noel, just
from the difference in treatment that the journalists were giving them!
But what was even less acceptable? Cordy hooking up with Patrick!
She had changed her sights to a different man, just because John was with Jessica now!
What gave COrdy the right to change men so easily?!
First, it was Kyle Jessop.
Then, John Levine.
And now, Patrick Stuart!
Each time Cordy switched, the new partner would be richer and more influential than the one before!
Noel suppressed her rage, but with no one giving a damn about her, she had to leave the hall gloomily.
Meanwhile, Patrick caught Cordy firmly in his hands when she almost tripped, and the journalists
captured the moment of their exceedingly intimate moment.
That is, until one of the journalists to the back exclaimed, "It's John Levine and Jessica Stuart!"
They were done interviewing Patrick and Cordy, anyway.
