Chapter 241
Cordy looked at John, who stood before her.
John had indeed called her many times today, and even sent her messages on WhatsApp. She hadn't
meant to ignore them, but had been extremely busy. In the evening after work, she also had to deal
with Bryson when he came to retaliate against her. She didn't even have time to breathe.
Cordy thought that John wouldn't look for her today and would wait till tomorrow. Yet here he was,
appearing out of the blue at three in the morning.
She didn't even know how John knew where she was. With how skilful John was, though, he would still
know where she was even if she went to hide underground.
Naturally, Kyle saw John as well. Surprise flashed in his eyes.
Hadn't John already announced his relationship with Jessica? Jessica had just left, yet John came
looking for Cordy immediately after?!

Cordy hadn't denied that she had been in an illicit affair with John the last time they were on the phone,
but based on her personality, Kyle knew there was no way she would ever allow herself to be John's
secret mistress.
Kyle gritted his teeth, and decided to wait to see what would unfold.
John strode upto them. He ignored Kyle and looked into Cordy's eyes, and asked, "Are you done?"
"Yeah," Cordy replied.
"Let's go." John reached out and pulled Cordy toward him.
There was a harmonious atmosphere between the two. Cordy showed no signs of refusing John, even
though he had a fiancee. There were also no signs of anger from John, even though Cordy and Kyle
were together.
It was as if they trusted each other so much that they didn't let anything outside their relationship affect
the feelings they had for each other.
Kyle watched as the two walked away before him, completely ignoring him as if he was just air.
He couldn't help but clench his fist tightly.
Cordy was a noble and dignified woman! Was she really going to be John's mistress?
The anger bubbled in his chest, and there was no outlet for him to release it. Just then, his phone rang.
"Noel," Kyle greeted as soon as he picked up.
"How's it going, Kyle? I was waiting the entire night for you to call. I was worried." Noel's anxious voice
drifted from the other end of the line.
Noel's concern made Kyle's anger dissipate, and his heart felt a little more at peace.
When he thought about how well Noel treated him, Kyle couldn't help but feel comforted. Last night,
Noel called him in the middle of the night, crying nonstop. She kept going on about how useless she
was as she couldn't help him.
It took him a long time to ask questions before he discovered that Simon didn't want to invest any
capital into their family. Noel had tried to change the former's mind, but it had been futile. Because of

that, she fought with her father. She was also worried that Jessop Corp would have problems; the
stress soon overwhelmed her, and she broke down.
Kyle had already been in a bad mood, and hearing about Jessop Corp every day didn't help improve it.
Listening to Noel crying nonstop annoyed him even more; he lost control for a bit and yelled at her.
Noel didn't get angry; she blamed herself for everything and finally told him that Cordy could restore
Jessop Corp to its former glory.
Only then did Kyle learn that Starstream Group intended to collaborate with other brands. With Cordy's
current popularity, any business that worked with them would make money. If he managed to get the
project, Jessop Corp would be saved.
However, Kyle was well aware of Cordy's character. She was unlikely to help Jessop Cop willingly, but
Noel kept encouraging him to placate Cordy into cooperating.
At this point, Kyle was desperate and willing to try anything. Kyle heard that there was a feud between
Bryson and Cordy; with how Bryson was, he was likely to exact revenge on the latter. As long as Kyle
played the role of a knight in shining armor coming to rescue the damsel in distress, perhaps Cordy
would be grateful to him and soften her heart toward him.
