A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 347
The next day, Cordy's trial officially began.The media was already making a huge fuss, and it naturally blew out of proportion on the actual day of the trial. Five of the top ten trending searches were about Cordy! When Quinn and Cordy arrived at the courthouse at 8 AM, the stairs towards the main entrance were lined with journalists."Do you need me to handle them?" Quinn asked Cordy just then."No," Cordy replied.Quinn did not say anything else at that, and alighted with Cordy.The journalists charged toward them as soon as they got out, encircling them even as Quinn did her best to shield Cordy."Ms. Sachs! Do you think you can win your trial?""How many years do you think your sentence would be?""Don't you regret your actions? You just ruined a promising career for yourself!""Why weren't you at the Sachs Enterprises anniversary gala days ago? Plum Lang was saying you've cut all ties with the family. Is that really true?""Don't you feel disillusioned with how your

'One day,' Noel thought to herself.One day, she would rise to the top, and trample everyone beneath their feet!"Mr. Levine! What's the reason you've come personally to witness Cordy Sachs' trial?""You're a really busy man, and you've only met Ms. Sachs on occasion. What brings you here?""I was the one who asked Johnny to come with me," Jessica said, butting in amid the journalists' endless questions."Ah, so Mr. Levine is just accompanying his fiancee. Well, Ms. Stuart, what brings you here to Ms. Sachs' trial?" the journalists asked eagerly."I admire Cordy, and my family has been eager to work with Cordy since our business already has a foothold here. It's therefore a pity that this would happen to her, and I've come today to see what becomes of this trial."Jessica's response was very formal, but it did not impede her public persona as a decent, understanding person—which won many points in her favor."Are you saying your family would expand the family business into Nort

A while later, the entire courtroom turned silent as the defendant's party and the prosecutors filed inside.Cordy and Quinn both moved to their designated seats in court.John clearly gulped when he saw Cordy.Jessica was right beside him, and her eyes flashed coldly when she saw his reaction. She was aware that John had been helping Cordy prepare her defense, but the news she received was that he did not make much progress. In fact, Jessica herself doubted he was that good he could turn things around in under two weeks.And once Cordy was sentenced, the Levines would do all they could to prevent a relationship between John and Cordy—even if it killed them.Moreover, once Cordy was thrown into prison, Jessica had a million different 'accidents' prepared for Cordy's inevitable demise.While Jessica hatched her little schemes in her head, the court reporter announced the rules and regulations in the courtroom. "All rise." The judicial assistant announced, as Judge Faden—the ju

After that, Helen Zalenski, the accountant working in Starstream Group under Cordy, was brought to the witness stand."Did the defendant order you to wire 700,000 through multiple transactions to this account?" Victor asked. "Yes," Helen replied, keeping her head lowered, afraid to even look Cordy's way. "And did the defendant order you to withhold the untampered tax revenue report?""Yes.""This is redundant, but do you swear you're telling the truth and nothing but the truth?" "Yes," Helen said determinedly."Thank you."Having gotten all the responses he needed, Victor turned back toward Judge Faden. "Your Honor, this concludes the prosecution's witness statements.""Very well. You may return to your seat." "Thank you, Your Honor."Judge Faden then turned toward Quinn. "What does the defendant plead?"Quinn looked up at him then. She had kept her eyes glued to the materials she had, seemingly unaffected despite the solid evidence against Cordy while the prosecution

"Firstly, Xander Lannings is just an employee in the tax bureau. I agree it might be possible that he could tell that there was something wrong with Starstream Group's tax return submission. But how did he manage to find out the deputy commissioner's personal account?""Secondly, Helen Zalenski claimed that my client made her transfer funds to Henry Lane through the account. The evidence presented showed a movement in the balance of 700,000 in one of my client's bank accounts. Yet, the bank was unable to provide video evidence of the opening of the bank account. I do not think it is a mere coincidence that the camera suddenly stopped working.""Thirdly, Helen Zalenski said that my client was the one who instructed her to submit the tax return accordingly. But from what I know, the secretary is the one who assists with Starstream Group's electronic stamp, and signatures documented on paper do not suffice as evidence. After all, talented people abound in this vast universe. Copying ano

It suddenly felt like the tables had turned in this case. Noel, who originally looked smug about how things were progressing, became slightly nervous.Jessica looked unmoved, but her fingers subconsciously clenched into a fist.Cordy was indeed smarter than Jessica thought she was.When Jessica planned this out, she never expected Cordy to be able to provide evidence that she did not go to the bank that day."Your Honor, please allow me to show the evidence of my client not being at the bank on that day," Quinn requested."Approved."Quinn retrieved a USB flash drive, connected it to a computer, and played a video.She explained, "The account was opened at City West Bank on 15 September at ten in the morning. During that time, my client was at Starstream Group's office building, attending meetings throughout the morning. This is a video recording of what my client did that morning. I sped it up four times to avoid wasting everyone's time."Everyone watched the video in all se

"No, no…" Helen shook her head profusely."Then tell me, where did all the money in your account appear from?" Quinn asked aggressively."I, I…" Helen was unable to give an explanation. Quinn did not waste too much time on her. She turned around and said to Judge Faden, "Your Honor, I have a witness who wants to come to court.""Approved."A man of about 60 years of age came to court. He looked slightly overwhelmed by the commanding aura of the court and had a look of unease on his face.Helen lost her cool the moment she saw the man, and her entire face paled.Quinn walked to the man and said, "We are in court, there's no need to fear. All you need to do is to answer my questions honestly.""Okay." The man nodded profusely."What is your name?""Timothy Chancy.""What do you do for a living?""I am a reproduction artist.""What do you mainly reproduce?""Ancient paintings, famous artwork, and so on." Timothy added, "I reproduce handwriting too.""Could you do a demonst

"She asked me to duplicate Cordy Sachs' signature on a huge pile of documents.""When was that?""Around a month ago.""Do you have evidence that it happened?""Yes. I have records of our conversation." Timothy pulled out his phone.Quinn took it and projected it in the court, displaying to everyone the conversation between Timothy and Helen.It was written clearly that Helen had made Timothy help her sign documents, and there were even pictures of the signed documents and records of the funds transfer.It was clearly a significant piece of evidence.Commotion arose in court, and Noel's face was ashen with horror.She did not expect Helen to be so foolish as to leave behind so much evidence for others to pick up on!She even left behind conversation history, fund transfer screenshots, and pictures of signed documents! Noel had reminded Helen umpteen times to be careful in all things and not to leave any trace behind. Did all her words fall on deaf ears?!Jessica's entire b

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
