A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 355
In the solemn and stately court, Judge Faden announced, "In accordance with the decision of the collegial panel and through courtroom investigations and debate, there is insufficient evidence to convict Cordy Sachs of bribery of 1 million dollars and tax evasion of over 7 million. She is to be immediately released."The moment the announcement was made, cheers sounded across the court.Not everyone wanted to see Cordy captured. Most wanted the court to seek justice. What's more, the case was filled with twists and turns which explained the enthusiastic response toward the announcement.Noel was horror-stricken.She looked at the joyful faces around her and almost yelled out loud.She had thought that it was a foregone conclusion that Cordy would be thrown into jail. Yet…yet…everything was screwed up!Why in the world was Cordy so capable that she could escape unscathed time and time again?Was even Jessica and the Stuarts no match for her? Noel gritted her teeth with anger.

At that moment, Jay had already walked off.John turned to look at them one last time before leaving as well.Jessica naturally followed by his side.Sam furrowed his brows as he said to Bob, "Don't you find Jay rather strange today? Even the way he walks looks off."Bob appeared unmoved and he did not offer a response to Sam's remark. Instead, he said, "I'm going off. Don't bother about things between me and my girlfriend. You should be watching your own wife instead. Now that so many people are clamoring after her, given the attention she's drawn to herself, you'll regret it if you lose her." With that, Bob strode off.Sam looked at all of their retreating figures.Somehow, he felt like something was wrong with this bunch of people.He looked toward Quinn and involuntarily sneered.People clamoring after her? So what?-Cordy and Quinn finally dealt with all the reporters and barely made their way back to the car.Quinn was driving it very slowly. "You don't drive ofte

Cordy nodded.But how could she simply let Noel continue being so cocky?!It had been so long, and instead of toning things down, Noel had been pushing her luck. She even started being in cahoots with Jessica…A cold look flashed past her eyes.Some people insisted on courting their own death! -Noel left the courtroom in a rage.Recalling the scene of Cordy being immediately released made Noel wish she could hack Cordy into pieces.Why did that bitch always end up so lucky? Yes.It was all sheer luck.Cordy had everything she had today because of pure luck.The driver seated in front didn't dare to make a sound.He could sense the terrifying aura emanating from Noel and was afraid of provoking her.Noel's phone suddenly rang.She looked grumpily at her phone and saw that it was Jessica calling her. That was when her anger died down and fear began creeping up her heart. After all, she was the reason for their failure this time. She did not manage to make sure that He

"What do you want me to do, Ms. Stuart?" Noel cut straight to the chase. Jessica said with a smile, "Although you were the reason for our failure this time, Noel, you aren't too stupid a person, so I'm still willing to work with you. Just keep the shares that I'm giving you. I'll tell you when I figure out what I need you to do for me.""What if you make me commit murder or arson?" Noel counter-questioned."Do you think what we've done is better than murder and arson?" Jessica was forthcoming.They were all against the law.Did Noel still not understand that?! Noel gritted her teeth. She knew clearly what Jessica would make her do and what she had to do from the moment she took these shares, but greed is part and parcel of human nature.Looking at the contract in front of her, Noel knew that taking these shares would that she had power over Sachs Enterprises.Her grandmother and mother treated her nicely on the surface, but they only wanted to use her when they actually were

There were a couple of reasons why Cordy suspected so.Firstly, there was warmth in Zoe's voice when she talked about the silver lining. Zoe was not one to lie and cover up her emotions. She was probably trying to convey that an exciting chapter was about to begin in her life.Secondly, John said that Jay would take care of Zoe. If they could be honest with each other and resolve the misunderstanding between them, she believed it would only be a matter of time till they got together. "Why do you say so?" Zoe counter-questioned.Despite the changes that Cordy sensed, traces of Zoe's exaggerated character were still preserved.Cordy furrowed her brow."How could it be possible between me and Jay?! It's good enough if he manages to take care of himself. How would he dare to come close to me? Jay and I…" Zoe paused for a moment before going on, "I admit that I felt upset, having remained single for so many years and waiting for Jay. I cheapened myself so much that I thought it was f

Cordy held herself back and decided not to say anything.Since Zoe had let things go, she should not let Zoe do so with any regrets."You and Quinn don't need to worry about me. I'll be well. Until the day when I face a complete dead-end, I won't stand on ceremony in seeking you guys out," Zoe said brightly."Okay," Cordy replied. "Gotta go, I need to learn how to cook.""Huh?""Currently, when I have no idea what to do, I'll start with learning basic life skills," Zoe said in all seriousness.She really looked like she was trying her best to live well. If Bob really could shine a light in Zoe's world, Cordy would choose to give them her blessings."I won’t interrupt your skill learning then," Cordy said teasingly."I'll invite you and Quinn to my house for a meal next time.""Sure."They hung up.Cordy heaved a sigh of relief, and it was then that she felt tiredness setting in.Ever since she was involved in the court case and when things happened to Zoe subsequently,

"Is Mommy going to cook for me?" Richard sounded very agitated. "I want to buy groceries with Mommy, and I want to be with Mommy!"Cordy smiled and nodded. Of course, she would not leave Richard alone at home. She held his hand and said to John, "Head back first if you're busy. I'll take good care of Dicky."John did not respond.Cordy did not say anything further. Instead, she went ahead and brought Richard to a nearby grocery store, and John followed right behind them.Many times, Cordy wanted to tell him to leave, but she eventually chose to remain silent.The three of them walked around and shopped in the grocery store."Mommy, what are we buying?" Richard was bubbling with excitement.He had never been to a grocery store like this, since his house had everything and Winston always made sure that the house was well-stocked. He never had the chance to visit a grocery store and see how it looked."I'll buy whatever you want to eat.""I want to eat fish, lobster, and crab…" R

Cordy furrowed her brow. What was there to be unsure about?John did not resist and handed the two bags to Cordy.When she took them over, she immediately placed them on the ground.She did not expect them to be so heavy! She was completely unable to lift them without any prior mental preparation.She saw John lifting them so easily…"Ms. Sachs, do you still want to act tough?" John asked.Cordy pursed her lips.She did not think that she bought a lot of things as she shopped, but yet, she unknowingly did.John did not make things too difficult for Cordy. He simply took over the two bags from her again and walked ahead.Cordy hesitated for a moment before holding Richard's hand and following behind him.When they reached home, Cordy began packing the things she bought, and that was when she found the box of condoms.She glanced at John who was seated on the couch with Richard watching television and wondered how she could hand the condoms over to him."Do you need help?"

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
