A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 371
The journalists were pestering them endlessly, and Sue answered reluctantly, "Cordy Sachs was verbally abusive towards my mother-in-law. She even pushed her a couple times and almost knocked her down. My mother’s already seventy, and certainly couldn't take it if I didn't catch her… She's very distraught, and it took her a long while to calm down and leave. Please don't disturb her—she just wanted the best for the children, and for peace in the family."With that, she helped Plum leave.The journalists didn’t dare to give chase, since Plum was indeed very old—no one could afford the responsibility if she fainted again, or if something even worse happened. Cordy stood before the glass wall in her office, staring coolly as the journalists downstairs dispersed.To Vince, who was standing behind her, she said, "Go to security. Request for footage of Plum Lang in my office, and send it to the media immediately."After all, Cordy would never hold back against the Sachs."Yes, Miss Sac

Plum was livid. "How dare you?!"Simon didn’t even look her way, however, and turned to leave."You will pay for this, Simon!" Plum shrieked, but she couldn’t stop the servants from dragging her upstairs and shutting her in her own room. No matter how she fought or screamed, no one cared.Sue certainly felt really good seeing what befell Plum.She was uneasy when Noel took control over Sachs Enterprises; to Sue, it was rightfully Sonny Sachs’s. However, using that to trample all over Plum wasn’t so bad either.After all, Noel was her own daughter. She doubted that Noel had no attachment towards her mother.-Cordy was working in her office at Starstream Group when Vince knocked on the door, saying, "Miss Sachs? There's a Mr. Patrick Stuart here to see you."Patrick who?!"He said he wanted to discuss investing in Starstream High Fashion," Vince explained.Cordy remained silent.With the invitation to tender before falling through, she had come to an initial agreement with

Cordy closed the company dossier Patrick had given her, her expression determined after getting the answer."I'm sure you're aware of my connection to your family, Mr. Stuart," she said."Of course," Patrick replied cheerfully. "That's why I came to you, seeking a partnership."As Cordy raised a brow, he flashed a refined smile in return. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend—isn't that what Jessica and Noel Sachs' partnership was based on?"Cordy studied him—to think that he knew so much about Jessica and Noel's partnership. Still, it was precisely his ability to find out everything about her and those around her that made her feel incapable of partnering with him.Before Cordy could speak, however, Patrick added bluntly, "You don't have to reject me so quickly, Miss Sachs. Why don't you hear me out and understand what I hope to achieve with our partnership, and why I have a bone to pick against Jessica?"Cordy stopped herself right then.With that, Patrick began to explain. "D

Patrick hence concluded, "This is why I came seeking a partnership with you, Miss Sachs. So that my family can retain our influence.""You flatter me, Mr. Stuart," Cordy replied. "I'm far less wealthier than every other bigwig in North City, let alone the Levines. I’ve never gotten involved in politics to know my way around it either, so a partnership with me doesn't help you at all." "You should give yourself more credit, Miss Sachs," Patrick grinned. "It's already clear that you're special, given how John Levine was smitten—""There's not necessarily a connection between sentiment and competence," Cordy retorted, cutting him off swiftly."Of course, but that's just one point," Patrick replied, ignoring her and showing no doubt in what he had set his mind on. "Secondly, if William Stuart intends to venture into politics, our side of the family has cause to get involved in business. Right now, you don't have the ability to compete, but it is my opinion that a dark horse like you w

Patrick went silent for a while.Cordy would rather not explain herself, but seeing that Patrick had traveled all the way here, she should at least give him a reason to leave. "I understand your reasoning, and there’s definitely a lot in it for me. However, I refuse to take part in this grudge match, just as I lack the capacity for it." "Your families stand at a level far above my reach or recognition, and I don't have that much ambition because all I want is a peaceful life. Naturally, you can argue that there’s no peace to be had in my life right now, and I’ll admit as much—but at the very least, I wouldn’t go out of my way to allow that peace to slip through my grasp by my own doing."Patrick's Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly asked, "Because of your son?"The change in Cordy's expression was all too obvious."It's not that hard to find out," Patrick added bluntly.Cordy glared at him. "If that's the type of person you really are, Mr. Stuart, I don't believe there's a nee

Cordy stared at Patrick, and then admitted, "I have no guarantee that I can be helpful in your campaign against Jessica Stuart. The best thing I can do at the moment is to improve the value of our partnership.""And that's enough," Patrick replied. "If you're going for something big, rushing things would only ruin everything, even your previous achievements.""Well, shouldn't I at least report our business strategy?""It's fine," he said. "I'm just an investor. You have full authority on the rest.""Of course." Cordy did not press him, since he was mostly involved in politics and wasn’t exactly learned in business. "If you don't mind, may I buy you dinner to celebrate our partnership?" Patrick offered. "Sorry, but I'll be busy for the next couple days," Cordy refused. "I'm picking up my son from school.""Well then, I shan't impose," Patrick said politely, his fine upbringing and considerate nature obvious. "Here's my number. Do keep in touch.""Okay."Patrick left after th

Cordy had a hunch about what John was going to say.Even if her partnership with Patrick Stuart hadn’t been publicized, all insiders were aware since news of it had spread through alternative outlets. In fact, it actually drew some controversy amongst the business folk.Of all things, the great house of Stuart actually chose to partner with Cordy's small enterprise! If anything, they should be choosing an enterprise like Levine Ventures, whose riches seemed to have no limit.But the deed was already done, and now everyone just had to wait and see what came of it."Come in," Cordy said, opening the door.John followed her inside; he took a seat on the couch and went straight to the point, "Why would you choose to partner with Patrick Stuart?""It's a perfect coincidence of opportunity and merit," Cordy said, as formal as she was honest.John snorted. "Don't you know what's happening amongst the Stuarst at the moment?"Cordy shrugged. "All I know is that I only stand to gain th

However, John slept for a while.When Cordy turned to look at the clock on the wall, she saw that it was already past midnight. If he kept sleeping, she wouldn’t be getting up in time for work.Saving her documents, she shut her laptop and walked towards him, calling out, "Wake up, John."His brow furrowed, and he appeared a little agitated. "It's very late. You need to go to bed right now. Oh!"Cordy yelped as she ended up beneath John in a split second, and was pressed into the couch.Before she could react, his warm lips were pressing firmly against hers…"Umph!Cordy fought back, but he was too strong for her; he held her so firmly, she couldn’t breathe.She had the feeling if he kept this up, he would smother her completely.Narrowing her eyes right then, she bit John on the lip; the taste of blood immediately swirled between their jaws.John seemed to come to his senses, and finally saw Cordy's dainty figure beneath him; her face was flushed in anger as she glared at
