Chapter 372
Plum was livid. "How dare you?!"
Simon didn't even look her way, however, and turned to leave.
"You will pay for this, Simon!’ Plum shrieked, but she couldn't stop the servants from dragging her
upstairs and shutting her in her own room.
No matter how she fought or screamed, no one cared.
Sue certainly felt cathartic upon seeing what befell Plum.
She was uneasy when Noel took control over Sachs Enterprises; to Sue, it was rightfully Sonny
Sachs's. However, using that to trample all over Plum wasn't so bad either.
After all, Noel was her own daughter. She doubted that Noel had no attachment towards her mother.
Cordy was working in her office at Starstream Group when Vince knocked on the door, saying, "Miss
Sachs? There's a Mr. Patrick Stuart here to see you."

"He said he wanted to discuss investing in Starstream High Fashion," Vince explained.
Cordy remained silent.
With the invitation to tender before falling through, she had come to an initial agreement with the board
at the meeting in the morning that they would keep investing in their company. While the risk was huge
and capital management would be precarious, it also meant their sales and operations were
independent without involving third parties. With management rights in their own hands, operations
would go more than smoothly.
Even so...
"Show him in.” Cordy said. She was convinced that people in business should not reject any
opportunities.
Soon, a man in a black suit entered.
He had an erect gait and projected an impressive presence. While he was not exactly handsome, one
would still notice him in a crowd.
"Miss Sachs," Patrick greeted her politely, offering a handshake.
Cordy rose to her feet in turn. "Mr. Stuart."
They had a polite exchange as they took their seats, and Cordy asked, "I heard from my secretary that
you're interested in Starstreams High Fashion?”
"I am," Patrick replied.
"Why me? You ought to know that I'm constantly hounded with scandals, which was why my previous
partners decided to pull out," she said bluntly.
A man who came knocking on her door would know everything before coming, and it was unnecessary
for her to hide it.
Honesty was a prerequisite to a partnership, after all.

"Opportunities only come in business if you ride the storm, Miss Sachs. Moreover, I've seen your
designs myself—I'm convinced you have what it takes to succeed." Patrick smiled, but his tone was
determined.
"In that case, may I ask for an introduction to your company, Mr. Stuart?” Cordy asked.
"Of course," Patrick said as he took out a dossier from his briefcase."
That's the company I own-it's nothing impressive, but we don't lack money. N
Cordy stared at him.
Rarely could anyone speak of money so lightly!
"Fair enough," Cordy replied, her eyes still on the dossier as she asked nonchalantly, "What's your
relationship with the Stuarts of Rocktown?"
Patrick's lips curled into a smile. "Now that you mention it... I guess Jessica Stuart could be considered
my cousin."
Cordy's eyes narrowed as he continued, ’Her grandfather is my grandfather's brother. You should be
aware that half of the Stuarts are in business, while the rest are in politics, yes? I'm one of the latter."
