A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 135
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

Jay's expression darkened as someone barged into his room just as he took off his shirt. It was Mandy, dressed in an excessively flamboyant gown and her face full of makeup as she showed up in his room."I-I'm sorry. I got the wrong room…" Mandy exclaimed with her cheap, exaggerated acting skills, and she then pretended to turn to leave.At the same time, she deliberately stepped on the hem of her own skirt and threw herself squarely into his arms. Jay strode forward, catching her in reflex while Mandy seized the moment to press her cheek against his chest. It felt firm, even bouncy!Jay frowned, noticing her intention.But just as he was about to push her away, he suddenly saw Zoe standing at the doorway, watching coolly as Jay and Mandy tangled.There was a sneer of disdain on her lips.They were that impatient, weren't they? Or maybe hotels were too boring for them?!Nonetheless, she told Jay calmly, "You left your bowtie in my car."They both came together from the se

Mandy had no choice but to leave, gritting her teeth even as Jay looked on.Even so, she always got everything she wanted!-The fashion gala began with the celebrities taking to the red carpet according to an arranged sequence. Mandy would usually be arranged to take the stage early in such events, but thanks to her family's influence, most event organizers would let her place later. Moreover, since Jessop Corp was one of the partners in this event, she was placed second last. But when it was her turn to walk the red carpet, she refused, citing health reasons. The red carpet was vacant for ten minutes, but the organizers could not force Mandy to do anything—no one would dare to provoke her, given her family's influence.Having no choice, the organizers had to ask Zoe to save the day.Zoe was no diva, and she agreed to it despite the apparent displeasure from Linda, her manager.But just as she prepared to take the red carpet, she heard one of the crew members mention Mandy

While everyone was left gaping at Mandy and Zoe, the crew hurried to Mandy's side, helping her to her feet when they saw her doleful look.Mandy appeared to have taken a serious fall and could not move her feet, yelping loudly with each step she took."Do you need the hospital, Ms. Jessop?" one of the crew members asked."The event is starting—there's no time," Mandy moaned through the pain. "I have to return to my seat, but I can't walk…""Alright, let's get you up…" "No, I can't!" The crew did their best to be careful, but Mandy seemed to be in too much pain, leaving them at a loss.That was when Mandy pointed at a certain seat nearby. "I think I'll sit there."Naturally, it was Zoe's seat.The crew members were certainly dumbfounded. Even among the A-list stars, Zoe ranked at least among the top three. On the other hand, Mandy could barely make the B-list. What right did she have to take the central seat of an A-lister?!One of the crew members said, "Ms. Jessop, tha

Mandy could certainly tell that Zoe was going to hit her, but she did not expect Zoe to do it in public! However, even as Mandy panicked, someone suddenly pulled her away, while Zoe's stiletto heel abruptly landed on Jay's leg instead. Zoe certainly knew her strength, and given how sharp her stiletto heel was, she could imagine how much pain Mandy would be in, only to hit Jay instead.Jay flinched slightly from the pain, but he otherwise bore with it. Zoe was left staring at him in disbelief.Mandy was stunned that he came to her rescue too, and her heart began to race as Jay left her dazed and bewitched.Zoe in turn clenched her fist and watched Jay icily, as he arched his back and scooped Mandy up his arms and left as she watched.In the end, he had fallen for Mandy!Even though Zoe did not see the look on his face, her tears were welling with tears.She lowered her gaze and worked hard to fight her tears.No. She must not shed tears for Jay—her tears were not that cheap

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
