A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 528
Thank goodness they had not left! The reporters would miss their exclusive headlines otherwise!There was no doubt that Cordy and John's appearance immediately sent the journalists into a frenzy, and they quickly surrounded the couple.Cordy's four bodyguards were actually all waiting outside the courthouse throughout, but they kept their distance since they were not that tactless they would interrupt her tender moment with John. When they hurried forward to help when they saw Cordy being mobbed by the journalists, Cordy gave them a look, stopping them.Today, she actually wanted to have a proper talk with the press."Mr. Levine, seeing that you're leaving the courthouse while holding hands with Ms. Sachs… could this mean what we think it means?""Mr. Levine, it was a beautifully executed reversal at the trial. Could you give us a word on how you feel right now?""Mr. Levine, are you in a relationship with Ms. Sachs? What about Jessica Stuart?"They were so rowdy John and Cord

"So, you're convinced that Jessica wasn't aware that her family was prepared to make me their scapegoat?" John asked the journalist in return. "Even when I was still abroad, she was the one in charge of every foreign account Stuart Holdings owned.""Are you saying that Jessica loved you but was not shying away from using you as a scapegoat too?" The journalist was certainly quick on his feet."Who knows?" John shrugged, refusing to give a direct answer. "You should be asking Jessica that question.""In any case, the truth is out—the Stuarts would soon have their punishment, while your relationship with Ms. Sachs can finally bloom!" the journalist exclaimed. "Congratulations!" "Thank you." Both Cordy and John appeared cordial just then."Can you offer some insights into your relationship? Ms. Sachs, were you happy back when Mr. Levine got engaged to Jessica? Were you supportive of him doing this to defend himself?""Absolutely not," Cordy said loudly and clearly, not hiding her d

Cordy was almost speechless. "Why are you being jealous? Patrick would never be interested in me.""I was actually jealous of Zoe before," John suddenly admitted.Cordy gaped at him. How petty could he get?!"I mean, she was in bed with you," John said, looking everywhere except at her."How are you still alive with all that jealousy inside?" Cordy asked, almost at a loss for words."You just have to make it up to me," John replied as if it made perfect sense.Cordy rolled her eyes—give the man an inch, and he would take a mile. "By the way, did you really only recently notice that the Stuarts had someone impersonate you for their crimes?" Cordy suddenly asked seriously.While a lot of facts were made clear at the trial, there were still many things she did not quite get."Nope," John said, never hiding anything from her. "I'm a businessman. I prioritize my personal gain above all else." "So…""I found out early on. I just didn't do anything about it.""And you would've l

Cordy became nervous right then. "Sean did? But why?"She was convinced that John liquidated the Levines' family estate to protect themselves and steer clear from more conflicts. She thought that John, like his grandfather, was done with the vicissitudes of life and would rather enjoy whatever they had left instead. She did not expect that the Cranstons were involved at all!"You should be able to guess," John reminded her despite seeing her reaction.Cordy's heart skipped a beat—that was the answer she least wanted."Yes," John said slowly and clearly. "He's asking me to work for him, but he needs me to have a more discreet capacity to assist him, and Levine Ventures draws too much attention." "Assist him?" Cordy asked. "With what? What are his ambitions?""Well, the Cranstons have a family dispute just like the Stuarts," John explained. "The Stuarts' disputes are between different branches of the family, whereas the Cranston brothers are in the midst of a power struggle. Sea

"More or less."Cordy did not want to make her happiness obvious, as she was selfishly convinced that only John was allowed to see it. "Well, I'm afraid I have to be a killjoy," Patrick said, his tone clearly serious just then.Cordy frowned slightly, but it was enough for John to notice that reaction and stare fixedly at her."You see, I have news: Jessica is missing," Patrick said very clearly then."Missing?" Cordy's heart skipped a beat, as if something horrible would happen."After John exposed Jessica's side of the family at his trial, they, along with my grandfather and myself were brought in to assist with the investigation. James was placed under arrest since there was enough evidence against him, but when William, my grandfather, and myself were released, the authorities informed us that Jessica went missing the instant they moved to arrest her, and was told that she was not in Rocktown.""Maybe she went to the capital?" Cordy asked—that was where Fred Cranston was, a

Cordy's fingers were trembling even as she held her phone.'No… Please let Dicky be alright!'Cordy never expected Jessica to target Dicky, since she was still engaged to Fred. Reasonably speaking, the Stuarts' crimes were only exposed hours ago, and they should still be keeping Jessica on a leash instead of letting her go to North City. It was why Cordy never worried about it, but it was now clear that Jessica had been ready to bring everything down with her just to get back at her and John. In fact, Jessica probably did not expect her own family to be arrested!That woman was crazy!Cordy's hands were trembling even as she called Richard's teacher, but perhaps because her phone was on silent or she was in class, the call went unanswered."Calm down." John assured Cordy when he saw her reaction. "It's going to be fine. I was just checking."However, Cordy's female intuition was already positive that Jessica was seizing the opportunity to take Richard away when everyone was foc

Cordy could not calm down even as she imagined that outcome."No, she won't," John said confidently nonetheless. "You're more important to Jessica and she knows that."Cordy's heart skipped a beat as she stared at John fixedly. "Look, just trust me on this, but Jessica wants you more than she wants Dicky," John said. "She's never been a parent and wouldn't know how much a child matters—especially since she grew up in a detached family like the Stuarts, where even family connections were weighted in personal gain. Sentiment doesn't exist there, and she'd be convinced that we would just have more children even if we lose Dicky and the pain of losing him would just be temporary. On the other hand, I'd be hurting for the rest of my life if I lost you! That's why she'll use you if she wants revenge, not Dicky."John spoke quickly with considerable urgency, and there was no telling if he was trying to persuade Cordy or himself.Cordy bit her lip and forced herself to stay calm and work

After Cordy sent the photos to Patrick, he asked a few questions, to which she told him everything.Patrick quickly sent the photos without asking more questions.For one, he was not able to help much when he was so far away, but he promised to tell her immediately if he found any helpful clues.In addition, he would rather avoid stressing her unnecessarily since she was already on the verge of a nervous breakdown.Once they had the high definition mugshots of the bodyguards, John sent copies to his people and started a search, reminding them to report in if they find those men without alerting them.Just then, a call arrived from Randy as well. "Sir, we found Jessica's car. It's left in a parking lot in the industrial district. The footage we obtained showed that only the driver got out, and no one else was inside. The driver is definitely one among the three mugshots you sent, and he left the car without coming back so far.""Did you manage to track where he went?""No, sir. I
