Chapter 73
Noel was left frozen stiff for a moment, but she quickly changed her expression, looking miserable and
teary-eyed.
“I’m so sorry,” she said. “I didn’t know you were allergic to lilies-I’ll be careful next time.”
“I’m not allergic to lilies-I’m allergic to you,” John said icily, every word a threat. “Just be careful not to
show your face around me.”
Noel’s face abruptly turned pale.
She could not believe what she was hearing!
No man had insulted her like that ever since she was a child, because they all loved her shy, delicate
nature..
It must be Cordy’s fault!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJohn must have said that for her benefit!
Still, Noel withstood her distress and picked up the bouquet of lilies before running out of the ward.
Cordy watched as Noel left, and she must admit that she felt a little cathartic.
Boys would hover around Noel ever since they started attending school, and Cordy had no idea why
they all liked Noel so much.
Did the scent of hypocrisy not stink enough?
In fact, Cordy felt even more stressed when Noel ended up stealing Kyle from her.
Cordy would not have been that upset if Kyle had gone for anyone else except Noel, and she even
wondered if there were no men in the world who could not resist Noel’s charms… Until John did it
today.
No matter what happened from here, Cordy at least felt a thrill from this moment.
“Hey,” John called out to her just then.
Coming to her senses, Cordy entered the room, sat down beside his bed, and got right down to
business. “I told you yesterday that I’ll get your payback after you got hurt yesterday, didn’t I?”
“And?”
“Right now, my father’s cronies are everywhere in Starstream Group. I need to draw them to our cause
and drive them apart from my father. That’s why I can’t let the culprit be punished right now, just as I
don’t have solid evidence to build a case. Moreover, I am reluctant for Starstream Group to face a crisis
when we’re already at risk, so the only option is to pay damages for injury.”

“Damages?” John raised a brow.
“I know you don’t lack money, but that’s the only thing I can give you.”
“No, but you can do so much more…”
Cordy pursed her lips-she was not ignorant enough to not know what John meant.

Cordy was slightly surprised, and was left staring fixedly at John.
But he clearly meant something else just now…
“What, were you perhaps disappointed, Ms. Sachs?” John joked, his lips curling upward in a heart-
stealing smile.
Cordy’s heart definitely skipped a beat.
She understood that John was giving her a more acceptable alternative, so that things were less.
awkward for her..
If not for her past, she might have been bold enough to give him a chance-even if John had a messy
private life and it would not possibly end well.
But now, she could not afford to gamble.
After all, she knew very well that she would never get back up if she lost again!
“Okay,” Cordy said, agreeing to take care of him right then.
Being the reason John was hurt, she had no reason to refuse.
