Chapter 213
As Zoe sat at the dining table to eat her breakfast, she texted Cordy. [Back to work?]
Cordy’s reply quickly arrived. [Yeah. Had an appointment at North City Channel to discuss a partnership.]
[Alright, won’t bother you at the office now, honey. Breakfast was great, love you.]
[Love you too.]
With that, Zoe tapped out of WhatsApp and into a news app.
It went without saying that John and Jessica’s engagement made all the headlines. Various media outlets released photos of them standing together at the moment of the announcement, congratulated by the crowd around them.
The comments section was even more ridiculous.
[A match made in heaven! Most importantly, a union between Levines and the Stuarts is simply perfect!]
[I heard that they were childhood friends. Maybe Richard Levine’s mother is actually Jessica?]
[Now that I took a closer look, Richard does resemble Jessica.]
[Good looking people would only have good looking children.]
[Excuse me, but who are the Stuarts?]
The last one had plenty of replies.
[Google William Stuart and you’ll know.]
[Let’s put it this way-there are only a handful of people in this country who have received the Medalof Victoria, and William Stuart is one of them.]
[Half of the Stuarts are politicians, while the other half are business people. Most importantly, they’re all leading figures in their respective fields-don’t you think that’s frustrating?]
Zoe got more frustrated the more she read, and she soon gave up entirely.
