A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 310
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

The room was once again silent, since Cordy's words left John dumbstruck.They stared each other down for a while until John smiled wistfully. "Is it that hard to work with me, Cordy?"Cordy's chest actually stung. John had always been harsh, but those words carried such heartbreak and helplessness.Even so, she said, "I've already made things very clear to you after the announcement of your engagement with Jessica Stuart. We aren't that close that I have to suffer everything for your sake. In fact, the Stuarts want to take me down right now because of you, and I don't have what it takes to fight back. Why should I suffer for whatever it is going on between you and Jessica? Do you think it's fair?!"Cordy remained staunch as ever to the point that John actually felt like he would never have her.All his perseverance now had been futile, even incurring her disgust and bringing her more harm.In fact, he wondered if he should compromise himself as she suggested, stay jaded and ac

John eventually asked, "Do you mind if I take a copy?""No," Cordy replied. "Thank you." Cordy pursed her lips—he was thanking her even though he was helping her with her case."I'm going now. I'll call you right away if there are any developments on my end," he said and left without a delay."I only have two weeks," Cordy reminded him."I know."With that, she watched as he left.He had looked composed and showed no nerves when he read the file, but he left in such a hurry.So, was it going to be difficult for him too?-Zoe returned soon after John left, but she and Quinn probably did not leave, and Zoe returned once she saw John leave. "Quinn said that she has other stuff to do," Zoe told her. "She said that she'll inform you immediately once she has something on the case and that you should contact her as well if you get something. Her phone is on 24/7.""Alright," Cordy replied. As she continued to read through her case files again, Zoe was staring at her for a l

Cordy bit her lip and refused to answer at all. "I wouldn't know.""Well, I never could get him to tell me," Zoe said nonchalantly, before adding, "By the way, I have one final scene to film tonight, and it has been put off for a while since I had other projects. Once I'm done, I'll ask my manager to clear my schedule for some time so I can keep you company until after your case is over.""It's fine, I don't want to put off your work…" Cordy began."I'm doing it on my own will. Don't turn me down now," Zoe told her, not giving her a chance to argue. "My assistant will take me to the studio soon, and I'll be done around 2 or 3 AM. Just stay home and wait for me."Cordy did not want to blow off Zoe's eagerness and remained on the couch after Zoe left, staring blankly into thin air.There was no way Cordy could calm down—she was not that dauntless with the criminal charges against her.Her fingers were twitching, but she eventually picked up her phone and called a number. "John.""

As Zoe headed to the film set, Penny quickly followed. Her stunt double already had her wire harness on, while Jay stood beside her and explained his directions.The stunt double looked almost the same age as Zoe and was quite the docile creature. Zoe herself had heard more than a few others in the film crew praising her.With her good looks and willingness to suffer, she would be able to rise to stardom once she got lucky.As Zoe stood and watched her stunt double being raised into the air, she started to feel fear and her body trembled just from looking.Feeling a little guilty, she thought about treating her stunt double to a nice dinner and giving her a present. But even as the thought crossed her mind, there was a loud snapping sound overhead, and the stunt double hovering up in the air was suddenly wobbling before the wire severed completely.Everyone screamed in shock, while Zoe was left petrified and watched as the stunt double fell dozens of feet down, landing squar

The nurse said urgently, "The patient's liver is ruptured and she needs type AB blood right now, but we just received word from the blood bank that they don't have the amount she needs. Her family members would be a viable donor or you can try contacting anyone with type AB blood to come forward as a donor. We've already contacted our superiors to liaise with various major hospitals for logistics."Still, she added, "However, the patient is currently in critical condition, so the faster, the better."Nancy was almost left senseless from shock.If the worst happened to Zoe… "Let's call for donors right now," Ivan said, working hard to stay calm while whipping out his phone with a shaking hand. "I'll call Johnny. He can send everyone in the company with type AB blood over. Jay stood nearby, his whole body stiff and shaking from restraint. His blood type was AB, but he could not donate to Zoe.On the other hand, after Ivan called John, he turned to Nancy. "John made the arrangem
