Chapter 18

Simon was still under the impression that his relatives were all impressed by the video he put together

and he was relishing the thought until he noticed Plum glowering.

Noel quickled dashed up the podium just then, anxiously pointing at the screen. “Dad, Dad…”

Simon turned around and almost got a stroke when he saw what was playing on screen.

It was all records of his affair with Fiona Lamb!

There were not just photos and videos either, but also records of their cringeworthy text conversations.

It was such a thorough expose that Simon had zero dignity left!

He eventually came to his senses after a long while and barked at the technician, “Shut it down! Shut it

down!”

Stunned, the technician quickly did as he was told, but everyone had already seen what they needed to

“Who did this?! Who?!” Simon was bellowing in rage up at the podium.

Below, Plum was turning pale from fury:

It was her birthday party, but she somehow ended up thoroughly humiliated in front of all their relatives!

Sue Yorkman, who was sitting beside Plum, certainly could not vent her feelings despite the ignominy

All she could do was shed endless tears of grief..

“Dad…” Noel tugged at Simon’s shirt just then in an effort to have him calm down.

Simon was gritting his teeth, but seeing that all his relatives were there, he simply snarled, “Everyone,

dinner will now be served. It’s obvious I was framed, and it’s all just some high-quality photoshop! Don’t

let this nonsense affect my mom’s birthday!”

And with that, he made a beeline to his seat, huffing and glowering.

Plum was growling through her teeth, “I don’t care what you do out there, Simon, as long as I don’t find

out. But this? In front of everyone?! I don’t want you to see that woman ever again!”

“Mom, it’s just-

“No excuses!” Plum snapped. “Sue, you’ll deal with that woman. Make sure that you root her out!”

“Yeah,” Sue murmured through tears and grief.

“Now, eat!” Plum snapped again.

Today was supposed to be her birthday’s celebration, only for every one of them to end up as a laughing.

stock.

What a disaster!

Simon kept scowling, but he had to bear with it with so many of their relatives watching.

Meanwhile, Cordy was seated at another table with Noel.

It was the Sachs’ family rule that the most senior members of the family sat at the main table, followed by

sons and grandsons, which meant the likes of Simon and Sonny.

However, Cordy was taking her time as she ate-the Sachs always were extravagant, and that meant

really good food

She was in a chipper mood as well, so she ate quite a lot.

A man took the empty seat next to her just then, but she spared him just one brief glance.

After all, she did not know him, he was not good looking, and the Sachs had nothing to do with her

She simply remained in her own little world, enjoying her food and wiping her lips with a napkin when she

was done.

She politely excused herself from the others who shared the table and started to leave-there was no

reason to stay another second with her objective achieved.

But while she headed towards the front gates, Noel suddenly appeared behind her, asking. “Where are

your going?”

Cordy turned to look at Noel in her white dress, appearing mild and demure.

Kyle was at Noel’s side-having arrived late, but sticking with her ever since.

The Sachs considered their relationship official already anyway.

“What is it to you?” Cordy asked icily.

“It’s Grandma’s birthday. She’ll scold you if you leave early, so I’m just worried-” “Do you think she

wouldn’t if I stayed?” Cordy raised a brow
