A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 239
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

Cordy looked at John, who stood before her. John had indeed called her many times today, and even sent her messages on WhatsApp. She hadn't meant to ignore them, but had been extremely busy. In the evening after work, she also had to deal with Bryson when he came to retaliate against her. She didn't even have time to breathe.Cordy thought that John wouldn't look for her today and would wait till tomorrow. Yet here he was, appearing out of the blue at three in the morning.She didn't even know how John knew where she was. With how skillful John was, though, he would still know where she was even if she went to hide underground.Naturally, Kyle saw John as well. Surprise flashed in his eyes.Hadn't John already announced his relationship with Jessica? Jessica had just left, yet John came looking for Cordy immediately after?!At this hour, much less?Cordy hadn't denied that she had been in an illicit affair with John the last time they were on the phone, but based on her persona

Noel had also mentioned that John had abandoned Cordy, so she would be emotionally vulnerable right now. If Kyle took the initiative, it was possible that Cordy would let go of their past prejudices. Noel also said to ignore her feelings, as it was more important to get Jessop Corp to pass these difficult times first and foremost.Noel truly believed that their relationship was rock solid and stable.Her determination moved Kyle deeply, and he was glad he had such a loving woman by his side."It isn't that easy to handle Cordy," Kyle replied, then proceeded to tell Noel exactly what had happened. Noel sneered after hearing the whole story. She knew Cordy all too well. Even if Kyle knelt on the ground or died before her, Cordy would remain unmoved.The woman wanted Kyle to bring about his own destruction."It should just be a matter of time. You hurt my sister so much before this, so it's only natural that she had her guard up," Noel assured him."But I can't wait that long. I h

Even after Cordy said that, silence remained in the car. John acted as if he hadn’t heard any of Cordy's words. He kept his eyes firmly on the road, not looking away.Cordy shoved down the turbulent emotions swirling angrily inside her. As calmly as she could, she continued, "I have an important meeting early tomorrow morning, and it's already very late right now.""I know," John replied.Cordy waited a long time after he replied, but John didn't speak again.She bit her lip, frustrated.Since he wasn't going to say anything else, she leaned back in her seat and stared out the car window at the night scenery once more.Soon, they arrived at North Garden's underground car park. Cordy unbuckled her seat belt but remained seated. She turned to John and said, "Go ahead."Perhaps John couldn't multitask while driving and needed to focus on the road. That was fine, because Cordy had no intentions of being careless with her life."It's too late now. Go back home and get some rest. I

"Are the feelings between us...so fragile?" John asked."There aren't any feelings to talk about between us right now," Cordy shot back coldly. "Have you forgotten, Mr. Levine? Back then, I promised to try out this relationship and see if it would work. Clearly, this isn't going too well.""If I said I wouldn't involve you in my engagement with Jessica, would you be willing to wait for me?""No," Cordy refused without hesitation."Am I that unworthy of your trust?" John said, clenching his fist tightly as his eyes tinged scarlet."Yes," Cordy said, nodding.John laughed hoarsely, a hint of self-depreciation laced in his voice.The atmosphere plunged into a sudden silence, and the air was heavy.The two sat in silence for a long time.It seemed like their conversation had ended.Cordy opened the car door to leave, but John suddenly reached out to grasp her wrist with such force that it felt like he was going to crush her bones.However, she didn't cry out in pain.She simply

Cordy didn't reply.Sometimes, silence really could replace everything."I didn't mean to hide the fact that I was the man who slept with you when you were eighteen," John admitted. "I asked you before if you hated him, and you said yes. I thought I’d tell you when our relationship was more stable, when you no longer rejected physical contact with me. Maybe... Just maybe, you’d be able to accept my presence."Cordy listened quietly, not interrupting him at all. And so, John went on. "At that time, I had just returned from abroad and was drinking with Bob and a few other friends. At the bar, I saw you while you were delirious. A man approached you, and you tried to refuse him. I went up to you two and pushed him away, and then you leaned against me. You felt hot to touch. I admit that I took you to a hotel, but where else was I going to take you? I didn't know, and you were burning up. I asked you, but you didn't say anything. After that, when we reached the hotel, you pushed me on

"After that, the fire broke out and you were trapped in it. I saw Kyle saving Noel and leaving you behind," John said with pursed lips. "I rushed in and got you out."Cordy was surprised at that revelation. She had always assumed a fireman had saved her, as she vaguely remembered her savior was dressed in a fireman's uniform."I grabbed a helmet from a fireman near me. I was afraid I’d choke on the smoke and die before I could get to you," John explained as if he could read her mind.Cordy looked down. She suddenly remembered the first time she had seen John in the hospital, and how his wrists were heavily bandaged. "You've explained a lot..." Cordy turned to look at John, her eyes reverting back to their usual coldness. "Why did you treat me so kindly? We were just strangers who met by chance, and I've done many things to hurt you. Why would you like me?"Cordy couldn't believe him.It was hard for her to trust anyone.She laughed softly and continued, "Don't say something lik
