A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 233
Richard pouted.He had never said that he wanted to take care of Jessica, his 'godmother', when she grew old.Even her status as his godmother was something she had forced upon him.Cordy simply listened to the conversation between Richard and Jessica.She remained silent, and so did John.Only Jessica and Richard could be heard in the queue, mostly with Jessica taking the initiative to tease Richard and him going along with it.After half an hour, it was finally their turn."Shall we ride together?" Jessica enthused.The Ferris wheel carriage was very large, enough to accommodate eight passengers."No need," Cordy rejected immediately. "We shan't interrupt your date.""It's all right," Jessica said generously."There are so many reporters around. It's not good if they film us together." Cordy was straightforward with her words.Clearly, she had noticed the hoard of people around them.Jessica turned to look at John, as if to seek his opinion."Let's sit separately," he s

But he also kept sensing a mixture of guilt in his Mommy's eyes whenever she looked at him.It was clearly Daddy who let Mommy down.Richard lay quietly in Cordy's arms without any resistance at all. He simply allowed her to hold him tight, as if she had lost him once and did not want him away from her side for even a second.The Ferris wheel carriage climbed higher and higher in the sky until they reached the peak.Cordy finally calmed herself down and replied to Richard's earlier question. "I don't feel sad at all with you around.""Mommy." Richard stretched his hand out and wiped the tears away from her face. That was when Cordy realized that she was tearing up.It was probably from emotions that she had kept to herself for too long. It was only now that she allowed herself to release a little bit of it.Cordy said affectionately, "Dicky, I'm really lucky to have you around.""No matter who Daddy marries, I'll always be by Mommy's side," Richard promised."Okay." Cordy

Of course, she would never let John know about these.The only thing she would let John know was that she was absolutely clueless about the sudden official announcement of their engagement. She was also forced to accept it, and she would even be willing to cooperate with John to break the engagement.Being in a relationship was similar to business negotiations. Blindly charging forward was never the way to go—she had to strategize and make plans."John, I added Cordy on her socials just now."John turned to look at her.It was as if she had to mention Cordy's name for John to pay attention to her."Should I explain to her about things between us?" Jessica said, well-intentioned."There's no need to." John rejected."She seems to have misunderstood us greatly.""All the more you need to avoid it." John was straightforward.Jessica pursed her lips.His words did nothing to ease the worry in her heart.She did not expect John to become so distant from her in just half a year

"I warned you long ago that John Levine would never fancy you, and you still went ahead to throw yourself at him. Look, you've gone and completely embarrassed yourself…"Cordy hung up without any hesitation.She had no expectations whatsoever for the Sachs.Her phone rang again.Cordy refused to answer it until finally, Simon called."Cordy Sachs, what kind of attitude was that toward your grandmother?" Simon was furious.Cordy could imagine how mad Plum was when she had hung up on Cordy just now."I don't have the obligation to accept her humiliation and scolding, nor am I duty-bound to listen to your criticisms." With that, Cordy made a move to end the call. Plum's voice rang out urgently from the phone. "Bryson said that you made him lose his job!" Plum probably figured that there was nothing she could do about Cordy and finally blurred out the objective of her call."That's his own business. It has nothing to do with me.""Nothing to do with you? Bryson said that it's

Back at the Sachs' residence, Plum was hopping with anger."Grandma, don't be so angry," Noel said, comforting Plum. "She's probably not feeling too good after John's engagement news, that's why she lost control and said those harsh words to you.""She had it coming!" Plum yelled. "She didn't know her place and seduced John, having a pipe dream of getting married into a wealthy family!""Cordy did think a little too highly of herself. How could we ever be worthy of a family like the Levines?" Noel said with a helpless look on her face, "But we live and learn. Let's hope that Cordy has learned her lesson this time."Despite what she said on the outside, Noel was not in fact happy with how things turned out. She thought that she would be capable of seducing whoever Cordy managed to get her hands on and was fantasizing about finding the golden opportunity to snatch John away from Cordy. It turned out that John was already engaged, and it was someone with such an intimidating backgro

[Sure, I'll send you my address.] Cordy did so and sent Jessica her location.[Thank you. I'll be there in half an hour.]Cordy put down her phone and looked at Richard, who was immersed in a TV show on space exploration. She could not bear to leave him.However, she had ample time and did not need to be anxious right now.She walked over and said, "Dicky, your godmother wants to send you back."Richard was originally in high spirits watching the TV show, but his face fell immediately upon hearing that he had to leave."She's leaving North City tomorrow, so accompany her for one night. After she leaves, I'll bring you over here every weekend from now on if I can." "Okay." Richard nodded obediently.As much as he was unwilling, he would not make things difficult for Cordy.His obedience in turn made her heart ache even more.Jessica reached in less than half an hour, and Cordy walked Richard to the entrance of the district."Dicky," Jessica said enthusiastically upon seeing

Jessica left North City on Monday, and news outlets were filled with images of John sending her off and the two of them parting reluctantly at the airport.Cordy wondered if there really were no other news worthy of reporting in North City. Were there no other delicious scandals in the entertainment circle? News of John and Jessica had been circling around for an entire week and pictures of them could be seen no matter which news outlet one browsed.She put down her phone and walked into the senior management meeting room. A meeting on Starstream Fashion launching a high-end brand was ongoing.Because her identity as lovely was exposed, many merchants have been knocking on their doors, wanting to cooperate with Starstream. It presented Starstream Group with a business opportunity, given their limited resources, in which they could achieve a win-win situation by expanding their marketing efforts through increased financing.The key now was to choose the best merchant.Cordy attende

"Let me send you to the hospital," Cordy offered.She had driven her car to the police station while Kyle was brought there in the police car.No matter from which perspective she looked in, she should give him a ride."No need for that. It's just superficial wounds and they'll be fine in a couple of days." Kyle shook his head. "It's very late now. You should head back soon." "You should get them checked and have a peace of mind," Cordy insisted.She just did not want anything bad to happen."Thank you." Kyle hesitated for a moment before agreeing to it.Both of them sat in the car.Cordy drove while Kyle sat in the front passenger seat."I didn't expect you to know how to drive," Kyle commented, "I've never seen you drive a car before.""I used to be too busy to drive," Cordy said frankly. Kyle looked downcast with a tinge of guilt in his eyes. "I'm sorry Cordy, I used to…""I don't wish to talk about the past." Cordy cut him off mid-sentence.She did not think that Kyl
