A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 131
Plum was left staring blankly at Simon. Her own son had never yelled at her like that before! And usually, what she said went, but now, he was scolding her while pointing at her face in front of so many doctors and nurses! It was absolutely humiliating, especially at her age! She certainly could not suffer the humiliation, and her eyes were red as she pointed back at him. "How dare you raise your voice at me…" Simon, however, was too furious to care what she thought.He was absolutely afraid that Cordy would blow things out of proportion and destroy Sachs Enterprises' reputation, as well as his personal reputation for being the No.1 Son of North City. Otherwise, he would not care if Plum was behind bars, let alone to suffer Cordy's tantrums!"Do whatever you want!" he snapped before storming off.Plum's blood pressure skyrocketed then, watching as her son strode off as she watched, leaving her in the hospital!Sue Yorkman, who came to the hospital with them and saw them

As John agreed to Cordy's invitation without any questions, she started to type again.[Bring Dicky…]However, she suddenly paused before deleting the draft.She left her bathroom and changed into fresh clothes before going out to buy food ingredients.She was thinking about cooking dinner—after all, how hard could it be?After getting the ingredients, she downloaded a cooking app and went to work according to the recipes provided… -In the evening, Cordy still had her apron on her when the doorbell rang.She quickly went to answer the door.John was standing outside with a bouquet in his hands. He appeared formal and handsome as ever with his black suit and silver necktie."I came here once I was done with work," he said, explaining his getup.Cordy smiled. She certainly knew that was not the case. "Come in," she said, taking the flowers and giving him his slippers.John put them on before entering and immediately picked up a scent he could not quite describe. It coul

Cordy then gestured. "Try it."There was a slight expectation in her eyes, which seemed to twinkle dazzlingly.John picked up his knife and cut through a slice of the grilled mackerel, politely and elegantly putting it in his mouth and chewed. He did not react much or give any comment, so Cordy could not tell at all if it was good.Still, after he had the mackerel, he had one of the vinegar ribs…And then the rest of the dishes. When he was done, he picked up his red wine and took a small sip."Is it good?" Cordy could not resist asking eventually.Nonetheless, John slowly wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "It's alright. Not bad.""Really?" Cordy quickly picked up her fork and knife, ready to eat.That was when John's long fingers suddenly caught her wrist, leaving her frowning."It's enough for one of us to have food poisoning," he said calmly, then took another sip of his red wine.Cordy naturally could tell what he was getting at, but smacked his hand off.In th

Even as their eyes met, certain feelings were undoubtedly growing.Cordy genuinely did not think that after all the dark times she survived—and more recently Kyle—that she would suddenly begin another relationship. She was not actually sure about this, but she took the first step regardless.Was it John who was good at flirting, or was he not as cold as she thought—not as disenchanted with the world as she believed? And after confirming their relationship, they were suddenly both silent, making things rather awkward. "Do you hate that man who slept with you?" John suddenly asked. There was a hint of nervousness in his impassive expression, while Cordy was just confused why he would ask about that. Maybe because she disliked men after that incident?"I do," she said.John blinked subtly even as Cordy continued, "He was clearly conscious at the time. I remembered it so clearly, begging him to stop and not to touch me… but he never did."The past memory still left her with

The next day, Cordy woke up to find a text from John. [Good morning, dear.]She pursed her lips, not even realizing that her lips were curling upward in a smile as she read the text.Still, she got changed, put on her makeup, and went to work as usual… But when she arrived outside her office, she found Simon, Plum, and Sue there, waiting for her."Oh, you're here, Cordy." Sue even greeted her warmly.Cordy simply glanced at them sideways, obviously aware of what they wanted to do.She simply strode into her own office and took a seat at the desk, while they entered. "Cordy," Simon began, his attitude passable. "Your grandmother came to apologize to you."When he finished, he quickly shot a look at Plum—who was still upset she had to humble herself and apologize to Cordy. However, she had to bear with it as she knew that it meant prison otherwise, not to mention that she had all she needed to torment Cordy! She just had to resolve the issue at hand for now…Taking a momen

"Well, there's nothing I can really do against you…" Cordy said, sounding as if she could not help it.Plum was delighted inwardly, convinced that Cordy was already giving up.Age before beauty, indeed! Cordy never stood a chance against her!"Well, we are family, so we shouldn't hold grievances against each other," Plum said cheerfully. "In that case, you should go to the police station and rescind your charges—""I want ten percent of Sachs Enterprises' shares." Cordy cut Plum short right then.Both Simon and Sue's faces fell, with Sue exclaiming in agitation, "Don't be so greedy, Cordy! You're demanding a mile when we just gave you an inch!" "An outsider like you doesn't get to decide what happens to Sachs Enterprises!" Cordy snapped at Sue right then, leveling her an icy look. "Who do you think you are, criticizing me?!" Sue was left flushing, but she did not have a comeback against Cordy.That was when Simon spoke. "No. Absolutely not."Short and blunt, he meant that he

Sue's eyes were welling with tears, but she finally understood how much it hurt to take the full force of Plum's slap in the face!She thought that Cordy was faking her deafness, but now, all she could hear was her ears ringing endlessly.However, she did not have the confidence to sue Plum like Cordy would, so she just had to bear with it.But she could not believe that ten percent of Sachs Enterprises' shares would end up in Cordy's hands!Keeping her savagery in check just then, she kept playing up her delicate persona in front of Simon and Plum. "You misunderstand, Plum. It's not that I don't care, I just think Cordy is really forgets her place—""Shut up!" Plum snapped at Sue, refusing to listen to the latter's explanation.After all, Plum knew better than anyone that Cordy was really forgetting her place. It only hurt Plum more that she could not do a thing against Cordy!On the other hand, Cordy appeared aloof as she watched them with a smile on her lips.Simon and Noe

There was no stopping the press coverage at all, as if someone was encouraging every media outlet to keep pumping out more scandalous articles on Noel and Kyle. No other news seemed to make headlines either, and their scandal remained stuck at first place on every search engine, the hate only seeming to grow worse by the day!Naturally, their families' respective businesses were at a constant decline as well.If this continued, both Jessop Corp and Sachs Enterprises would be bankrupted by a single scandal… which would certainly be an unprecedented case! At a board meeting in Jessop Corp, Dandy Jessop was bellowing at Kyle in front of the other board members and executives. "You couldn't buy the media's silence on a single scandal?! How long has it been, or do you want to drag the company down with you?!'Kyle was absolutely indignant, too—he was convinced at first that the scandal would eventually cool off, but he seemed stuck at top searches after so long! Someone must be beh

Soon, another nurse emerged from the delivery room with a small bundle. "Is the mother's family here?""Yes!" John exclaimed loudly."The delivery was successful," the nurse said. "The baby weighs eight pounds—""How is she?" John asked in agitation, not caring about the child."She's fine. The doctor is just helping her clean up and she'll be out soon," the nurse replied.As John breathed a sigh of relief, the nurse reminded him, "Aren't you the father? Here's your child."John took the baby off her arms, staring at her for a moment as the others flocked around him. "Oh, she's so fair!" Zoe could not help exclaiming. "That's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen.""Are you saying that your son's ugly?" Bob teased."To be honest, yeah," Zoe replied without thinking.Jay cleared his throat—even if it was a subjective opinion, it still hurt to have his own baby called ugly."Let me carry her," Zoe volunteered just then, and John did not hesitate to hand her his baby.As Zoe

"What?!" Zoe exclaimed in shock.Beside them, John's face fell despite being usually stoic.Still, even before anyone could react, he scooped Cordy up in his arms and left.Zoe did not hesitate to follow, but Jay reminded her, "We're the hosts, Zoe.""Don't care." Zoe was completely unconcerned. "Ask my mom and your sister to handle the guests. I'm going with Cordy!"Jay hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow since there was no reasoning with Zoe.Sam and Quinn also realized that something was out of place.As they pulled away reluctantly, Bob shouted from below, "If you're done kissing, we're going to the hospital! Cordy's going into labor!"Quinn hurried after them as soon as she hurt, but Sam caught her. "Slow down. We can catch up."In fact, most of the guests were leaving as well—it was as if the banquet for Zoe's son was actually intended for everyone else.The poor boy was certainly unlucky to have such unreliable parents!-As everyone rushed to the hospit

"I'm swelling from my pregnancy," Quinn explained. "It's not your fault."Sam was left staring at her for a while before asking, "So, what should I do?""I'll put it on when I slim down.""Oh." Sam was a little disappointed, since he had always dreamed of having her put on the ring he had custom made.But this was fine—they had all the time they needed, and the most important thing for him is that Quinn was marrying him!He rose to his feet just then, and everyone was cheering as soon as he did. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"Quinn blushed right then, and Sam could see that she was embarrassed.He did not want to make things awkward for her, even if he was quite eager at the moment.Heaven knows how much he missed that night's drunken fumble they had. In fact, during the times he remembered it in dreams, he had to wash his pants when he woke up.Still, just as he took Quinn's hand and started to leave, he felt a softness on his lips—Quinn was kissing him! Sam's heart pounded thunderous

Everyone waited patiently for the final outcome.Quinn's eyes were welling up with tears, threatening to gush if she so much as blinked.She did her best to hold back her tears—to be strong!Sam pursed his lips in turn, his Adam's apple bobbing.A long while passed, and it felt like a century for Quinn when she finally heard him say, "Yes."Quinn's tears started falling in happiness as Sam declared loudly, "I'll marry you, Quinn—it's what I've always wanted to do! I won't let you go even if you regret it eventually! You only get to be with me, and I'll never let any other man claim you! I'll become very overbearing… eventually!""I won't regret it," Quinn said, determined.She certainly would not regret marrying him!Zoe walked up to them with perfect timing just then, and Sam did a double take.He finally remembered that Zoe was the host of this luncheon and was going to leave with Quinn when Zoe whipped out a small red velvet box."You know what's in here, don't you?" Zoe a

However, Sam had already pushed Quinn away before she could tell him. But even if he did not love her or did not want to be with her, she would never stay with Ryan.She had been disappointed in Sam, wondering why he would give up so easily.Was she that unimportant to him?Therefore, if it were not for Zoe and Cordy showing her that video or telling her so much, she would never have known that he loved her for years…Sam's heart ached even as he looked into Quinn's tearful eyes.He reached out a hand, but soon withdrew it—would he not burden her?Even so, it hurt to restrain himself as he watched her, and he was actually getting the feeling that Quinn loved him…But she already had Ryan's child…Well, he was fine with that, as long as the child was Quinn's.But would she not mind?"I will marry you, Sam," Quinn said slowly and clearly then. "Not because you're a good man, not because you prepared so much for me, and not because of how much you prepared for me, but because I

Everyone in the hall was staring at Sam and Quinn, while Quinn took center stage, staring fixedly at Sam.He stood in the middle of the crowd, watching her silently.She in turn felt fear that he would turn and leave, just as she did not know if she had the courage to stand before him again and to declare her feelings for him in front of so many others.Nonetheless, amid the deafening silence, Sam suddenly walked toward the stage.His pace was slow as if his feet were made of lead, but he was also unusually determined.Quinn's heart raced uncontrollably right then!Everyone else was watching them nervously, especially Cordy and Zoe, with the latter being especially concerned that the cowardly Sam would bail.Fortunately, he was a man who showed responsibility. He would not leave Quinn alone and embarrassed.Hence, as everyone looked on, Sam stood before Quinn, his gaze flickering as their eyes met.He gulped ever so slightly, his emotions clearly ruffled even as he did his bes

The guests were encouraging, loudly asking, "Why?!""Because of a woman," Sam's recording replied."Who is it?""Quinn Summer," the Sam on the screen said slowly and clearly, leaving the Sam who was in the hall stunned.What the hell?! That was the proposal video he prepared before! Why did it show up here? Did Zoe make a mistake?!He knew it—leave anything to Zoe, and she would mess it up!He started striding toward the stage, intent on stopping the recording, when John and Bob intercepted him with a look of utter guilt while the recording continued. "Quinn is my wife, and we've been married for years, but I've never really loved her—not because I don't, but because I'm afraid to. I feel too insignificant in comparison to the one she loves, so I'd always hurt her… painfully and childishly. I regret that so much now, Quinn. How could I have abandoned you for so long because of my own jealousy? I'd rather hold you in my sleep every night, but my damned pride denied me that for y

At the banquet hall, Jay and Zoe were thanking their guests with their children in their arms.Then, Zoe announced excitedly, "Please give my best friend, who is also my son's godmother, a warm applause as she comes on stage!"Sam stood at a corner of the hall, watching as Quinn walked up the stage, only realizing just then that her belly was clearly swelling despite her baggy clothes.Time flies—he had not left that long ago, but she and Ryan already had a child.She was not worried about giving him a stroke, was she?He watched as Quinn took the mic and looked around below searching, seemingly searching.After a while, he thought she was looking at him, but by the time he looked up, she had already turned away.Maybe she was looking for Ryan before remembering that Ryan was not there?Nonetheless, Quinn spoke into the mic, saying, "I'm honored to be chosen as the godmother to Zoe's son, and she's been saying he'd be engaged to my child if it's a girl. I already love my godson

As their eyes met, Sam turned frantic and averted his. "Of course.""Really?" Quinn asked."Would I lie to you?" Sam asked a little grumpily."And you didn't bring her back?" Quinn asked."I'm on a schedule, and it'd be taxing for her if I bought her along," Sam said, making things up as he went along. "I'll bring her along when things are less busy.""Is she pretty?" Quinn pressed."What, have I ever picked an ugly one?" Sam snorted smugly. "You know I prefer curvaceous types, and there are plenty of those abroad.""Do you have a photo?"Sam was silent for a while and eventually said, "Yeah.""Can I see it?""What, does she have to pass your assessment?""Just curious about the girl who can tempt you to settle down," Quinn replied. "You'd be humbled." Sam hastily came up with an excuse."I won't," Quinn said, determined."You'll see her when I bring her home." Sam refused nonetheless."I would like to see a photo now.""No, she's not that photogenic. It'd be slander a
