After going separate ways with Nancy, Cordy brought Richard to the detention house.
Noel was implicated by what happened to the Stuarts and was awaiting her sentence.
Of course, Noel was not merely punished by the law. Her public reputation was in shreds and the malicious attacks and curses from the media were enough to make her wish she were dead.
Noel had it coming, and Cordy did not pity her one bit.
She herself was not willing to go to the detention house.
Rather, it was the detention house that called her multiple times, claiming that Noel wanted to see her.
The procurator's office called her as well, saying that Noel's sole condition for cooperating with them in their investigations was for Cordy to go and see her.
Cordy had rejected them many times but this time round, she wanted to draw this entire episode to a close.
She did not want anyone else bothering her and Richard's lives.
Yes, she had come to accept that she had to start life anew with Richard and without John.
She had accepted that John had truly left this world, whereas her life went on as usual.
When she arrived at the detention house, she bumped straight into Simon, Sue, and Sonny.
The three of them were leaving the detention house, their faces black with rage. Their faces darkened even further upon seeing Cordy.
"What are you doing here?" Simon said viciously at Cordy, but she simply ignored him.
"What, are you here to laugh at Noel?" Simon mocked.
Cordy simply could not understand why her father could remain so cold-blooded and sarcastic even at this point, no matter what Noel did to them.
"Noel had it coming! Back then, she was in cahoots with the Stuarts when she snatched Sachs Enterprises away from us. She deserves retribution!" Simon yelled out loud to vent his frustrations.
