After sending off Dicky, Cordy headed to the courthouse.
Although she was used to the presence of her four bodyguards who shadowed her everywhere, by now, the journalists camped outside were shocked by it and were a little afraid to get close.
After looking around, they quickly decided that they couldn’t resist a headline, and started to flock around Cordy.
The bodyguards quickly moved to shield her, so the journalists had to ask their questions from three feet away by shouting very loudly.
"What are you doing here, Miss Sachs? Do you have some sort of relationship with John Levine? There were photos circulating of you being very close to his son!"
"What’s your relationship with Patrick Stuart? Are you dating?"
"What is your opinion of the Stuarts' direct annulment of Jessica Stuart and John Levine's engagement?"
Cordy was already in a bad mood and had no patience for the journalists even as they peppered her with questions, and thus responded half-heartedly, "I wouldn’t waste the public's time with my own personal affairs, so I won't elaborate. As for Jessica Stuart and John Levine's engagement, that's their business, and you shouldn't be asking me."
"As for what I'm doing here…" she paused. "I'm just reciprocating Mr. Levine's courtesy when he attended my trial before."
And with those words, she gestured for the bodyguards to escort her into the courthouse.
"Miss Sachs…"
"Miss Sachs!"
The journalists kept calling Cordy, but she ignored them; her focus was entirely on John's trial.
Once she entered the courtroom, she spotted Sam and Bob from afar…and frowned.
Was that Cora Levine sitting beside Bob?
