Chapter 358
"What do you want me to do, Ms. Stuart?" Noel cut straight to the chase.
Jessica said with a smile, "Although you were the reason for our failure this time, Noel, you aren't too stupid a person, so I'm still willing to work with you. Just keep the shares that I'm giving you. I'll tell you when I figure out what I need you to do for me."
"What if you make me commit murder or arson?" Noel counter-questioned.
"Do you think that what we've done is better than murder and arson?” Jessica was forthcoming.
They were all against the law.
Did Noel still not understand that?!
Noel gritted her teeth. She knew clearly what Jessica would make her do and what she had to do from the moment she took these shares, but greed is part and parcel of human nature.
Looking at the contract in front of her, Noel knew that taking these shares would mean that from now on, whatever she said goes with Sachs Enterprises.
Her grandmother and mother treated her nicely on the surface, but they only wanted to use her when they actually were biased toward Sonny. He was a useless bum; what right did he have to take for granted that he would inherit all of the Sachs' family assets? Just because he was the son?!
She detested that!
Noel snatched the contract over, and Jessica's lips curled in a sneer.
There was no chance in the world that Noel would reject her offer.
"Right now, I truly don't have an idea of how to deal with Cordy at this point. She's smarter than I thought she was and I underestimated how important she is to John.' Jessica was certain that Cordy was able to escape jail time because of John's help.
"Cordy isn't simple indeed." Noel agreed with her.
"I'll contact you once I have an idea," Jessica said coldly.
It was also her blatant cue for Noel to leave.
"Okay. I'll definitely do my best, having learned my lesson this time," Noel said with determination.
Noel left Jessica’s cafe.
There was a tinge of uneasiness in her heart, but it was buried under all her excitement.
