Chapter 371
The journalists were pestering them endlessly, and Sue answered reluctantly, “Cordy
Sachs was verbally abusive towards my mother-in-law. She even pushed her a couple
times and almost knocked her down. My mother’s already seventy, and certainly
couldn’t take it if I didn’t catch her… She’s very distraught, and it took her a long while
to calm down and leave. Please don’t disturb her-she just wanted the best for the
children, and for peace in the family.”
With that, she helped Plum leave.
The journalists didn’t dare to give chase, since Plum was indeed very old- no one
could afford the responsibility if she fainted again, or if something even worse
happened.
Cordy stood before the glass wall in her office, staring coolly as the journalists
downstairs dispersed.
To Vince, who was standing behind her, she said, “Go to security. Request for footage
of Plum Lang in my office, and send it to the media immediately.”
After all, Cordy would never hold back against the Sachs.
“Yes, Miss Sachs,” Vince replied respectfully.
In the afternoon, various media outlets were publishing articles of Cordy being
abusive towards her grandmother Plum Lang. The topic soon became trending.
Yet no sooner had it made it there, new articles refuting that appeared and promptly
shot to first place on hot searches.
The huge slap in the face reduced Plum to a joke. Almost immediately, everyone was
flaming her. novelbin
Things like ‘senile’, ‘wisdom doesn’t come with age’ and ‘just deserts’ were all amongst
the criticisms shot her way; they almost gave her a heart attack.
Angered, she slapped Sue across the first with the back of her palm, leaving a huge
crimson swell on the latter’s cheek.
Despite that, Plum remained absolutely livid; she was bent on venting all her
frustrations on Sue.
“You b*tch! You knew Cordy wouldn’t let me off easy, yet you still suggested
something so dumb! How will I show my face in public now?!”
Sue was just as livid.
Even after all these years, she would always be struck and scolded by Plum.
She was a person, not some dog!
She raised her hand and slapped Plum back, leaving the old woman dumbstruck.
Plum was once more livid; how dare Sue lay a finger on her!
Where did Sue get the guts?!
“I’ll kill you, Sue Yorkman!” Plum snarled, her expression vicious.
Before she could come good on her threat. Sue suddenly dropped on the floor beside
the tea table; appearing to be in great pain.
Plum didn’t even have time to realize what was happening when Simon started
bellowing out of nowhere, “Don’t you think you’ve troubled the family enough?!”
Plum turned towards him and quickly said, “Simon! She hit me!”
“Did she ever?!” Simon snapped, having completely lost his patience with Plum.
“She just did-”
“Simon, it’s alright. She’s just in a bad mood and wanted to vent. Please don’t blame
her,’ Sue said tearfully as she pushed herself off the floor, looking utterly feeble. “I’ve
told her not to go to Cordy, but she refused to listen and insisted Cordy would
definitely hear her out. The media had to report what happened, but she couldn’t take
it and…”
“Sue! You put me up to it! How dare you-”
“Enough!” Simon barked, not wanting any explanations from Plum. “What can you do
now aside from embarrassing everyone?! I wish it was you who died back then
instead of Dad! All you amount to is causing more trouble for me!”
“W-What?!” Plum never expected Simon to get so abusive.
Simon ignored her and barked, “Someone get in her! Lock her in her room, and make
sure she stays inside!’
