A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 305
Zoe's words were filled with righteous indignation, and Alan was left glowering. And once he got serious, he was frightening.Hence, before Zoe could continue, he snapped, "Don't breathe another word if you don't want to suffer like John did. This discussion is over, and I'd advise you not to meddle with other people's business."Zoe wanted to say more, but Lawrence told her cordially, "You really should stop, Ms. York."Zoe bit her lip, her eyes welling with tears right then.She knew all too well that there was no reasoning with her grandfather if it went against her principles.She turned and stormed off angrily. But even if the world would go against her, she would save Cordy!As she shoved the door open, Jay remained standing outside.He could see her face, puffy and red and covered in tears.It went without saying that things had gone badly.Still, Zoe worked hard to hold back her tears when she saw Jay because she refused to let herself appear even slightly vulnerab

"You know better than anyone who Dicky's mother is," Jay said. "And what I'm trying to say is that our nation's policy dictates that the children or grandchildren of any individual with a criminal record are forbidden from holding public office. Of course, it doesn't seem likely that Dicky would become a politician at the moment, but what if things change and our family needs a direct connection? You know very well why members of the Stuart family are holding public office in that sense." "Of course, most people are unaware that Cordy is Dicky's mom at the moment, but you know how cutthroat the political scene gets. Anyone with a blemish in their resume would never keep it under wraps because their opponents would inevitably ensure that it comes to light.""And lastly, the most important question of all…" Jay paused for a moment, before continuing, "Do you really think Johnny would ultimately marry Jessica? Father, were you not compelled by circumstances when you agreed to the Stuar

Both Jay and Sam spotted Zoe on the couch just then, but Quinn put a finger on her lips, warning them to keep it down.She tucked Zoe under the blanket and put a pillow beneath her head, helping her lie down comfortably.Even as she did, Zoe was still mumbling something horrible about Jessica.It was certainly hilarious.Once they tucked in Zoe, Quinn returned to her desk while Jay and Sam sat opposite her.Knowing why they had come, she took out the file she had on Cordy's case and said quietly, "Here are all the details I got from her after meeting her. I've combed out all the key points."As she spoke, she slid it toward them.As Jay studied the contents solemnly, Quinn asked casually, "Have you found Mr. Levine, Mr. Parker?" "If there aren't any other surprises, tomorrow.""That's good," Quinn said. "There are a lot of points for investigation in there, and we would need Mr. Levine to help us in cases where we can't reach."Jay nodded. With that, the trio started to an

Quinn understood that Zoe thought poorly of Sam because of her, but she did not want Zoe to get upset for her sake either."We're more or less done discussing the case, and I'm hungry," Sam said. "Let's go eat.""Okay." Jay agreed. "What do you like to eat? I'll book a place," Sam asked, turning toward Zoe just then. He usually never held a grudge, since he considered her a headstrong younger sister."You boys go on your own—I'm eating with Quinn alone." Zoe refused immediately, before adding, "It's hard to eat around people you don't like."Sam sighed. "Can't you be a little less petty, Zoe?" "Wasn't talking about you," Zoe replied and started pulling Quinn along. "Come on, let's go."Sam watched as they left, and it was only after a long while that he realized what Zoe meant. Wheeling on Jay right then, he exclaimed, "Did she actually mean… you?!""Yeah," Jay replied. "Well, I don't get it. You've always been nice and never been harsh to Zoe… Why would she hate you so

Cordy scoffed. "Well, you don't. All you can do is be two-faced so the one with actual power has to pull your strings."Noel's face fell.So, Cordy guessed everything."Word of advice, Noel—you shouldn't upset people way above your league. You'll only hurt yourself.""Hmph." Noel snorted, not bothered with pretenses just then. She came to laugh at Cordy anyway, and she had suffered Cordy's strut for far too long!"Don't get so conceited, Cordy. You're just jealous that I managed to get someone so powerful to support me while you fall to such disgrace!" Noel laughed with eyes filled with disdain. "It's your own fault for not knowing your place, upsetting people you shouldn't. And here I thought how tough you'd be and that John Levine was really hopelessly in love with you. So what? You've been here for 24 hours, but did he come to bail you out? How much do you think you're worth in the face of personal gain?"Cordy stared coolly at Noel, who looked more smug and more excited the

Why was Jessica visiting Cordy with John? What was going on here?!And yet, no one bothered looking Noel's way, ignoring her as if she were thin air.That was when John walked right up to Cordy and said, "You can go now. The paperwork for your bail has been filed."Noel could not help clenching her knuckles.What on earth did Cordy do to John that he would go so far for her?And what the hell was Jessica doing?! Why was she not stopping this?!Still, Noel did not dare to let her feelings show, and she suddenly exclaimed happily, "This is great, sis! You can finally leave now. This place is terrible. You'd never eat or sleep well…"Cordy was honestly impressed by how two-faced Noel was, but she was used to it.She did not even bother shooting a disgusted look at Noel before walking up to John.She would never allow herself to suffer.Even if John were the reason for all this mess, she would not turn down something that worked in her favor.And right now, she was really eage

Zoe was ranting endlessly along the way home, and Cordy listened to everything calmly.It was not as if she did not feel angry, but the priority now was to find a way to clear the charges against her.Noel was right—this was a dog-eat-dog world, and her ability to resist was insignificant.As they returned to Cordy's apartment, Zoe told her, "Go take a shower—I'll order takeout. You need to get your strength back.""Yeah," Cordy replied and returned to her room. She looked at her own reflection in the mirror and found herself considerably haggard even though she had only been in there for 24 hours.She took a deep breath and told herself that she must not lose herself.That she must not give up, not until the last moment.After she was finished with her shower, she stepped out to find the entire dining table stacked with scrumptious food.Zoe was beckoning warmly at Cordy and sliding plate after plate of food toward Cordy. "You look so skinny. Eat some more."Staring at the

Zoe was seething. "Someone was obviously trying to plant fake evidence to incriminate Cordy.""Even if we know that, the judge won't buy it," Quinn told her. "Also, I met Helen Zalenski, who insisted she was just following your orders to the letter, and it's the same response to every question I had. As for your secretary Vince Cartman, he said he only approved all the documents in question with office automation because they bore your written signature. I checked, and all the original copies did have your signature—here, I've made photocopies. Could you check if you did sign them?'Quinn passed the documents to Cordy as she spoke, and Cordy glanced at the signatures. "The signature is mine," she said. "But I am positive that I did not sign them.""In other words, someone faked your signature and had Helen send it to your secretary. He approved it via online automation since you'd already signed them, stamping and sealing them into a revenue report," Quinn concluded. "They really
