A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 62
And with those words, Cordy strode out of the conference room without looking back, imposing as ever.Fabian did not expect that he, a man in his forties, would be threatened by a twenty-something brat!He quickly called Simon to report the situation."Ignore her. Just do what I tell you," Simon said, still thinking nothing of Cordy at all. "I'll cover for you if anything happens.""Yes, Mr. Sachs."Fabian smiled evilly then.He did not mind waiting and seeing how long Cordy would last!-Cordy brought Vince to Starstreams' production plant, even as she wondered why the workers would go on a strike out of the blue.The plant was in the outskirts of North City, and the journey was long—they only arrived in the afternoon.However, Cordy did not stop for lunch and went inside right away to meet Dean Longman, the factory chief.Like Fabian, Dean had no respect toward Cordy at all. It went without saying they were both in league with Simon."I heard that our new board chairman i

Meanwhile, Dean was smiling sinisterly as he stood before the second floor office window, watching as Cordy was being mobbed by those disgruntled workers.He quickly whipped out his phone to report the situation. "Mr. Sachs? The workers are mobbing Cordy Sachs as we speak. She's not getting away soon."On the other end, Simon Sachs was sitting at his giant office in Sachs Enterprises with a cigarette in his mouth. "Give her a lesson to remember," he said."Yes, sir. Don't worry. I know exactly what to do."Simon was grinning smugly as he put down his phone.In the end, age and experience came up on top.Cordy wanted to beat him? It was no different from trying to break a rock with an egg!Sitting opposite him, Noel asked in surprise, "Dad, did Cordy really go to the production plant?"She did not expect Cordy to have the guts to visit that place of lowlifes. Those people were uncouth, uneducated, and barbaric, which was why they deserved to be stuck in poverty."Ignore her,"

Over at the Starstream Group production plant, the angry workers were not listening to whatever Cordy had to say.She knew very well that someone had incited them, and that this was all Simon's plan.In fact, she could shout herself hoarse, but she would never calm them down.Cordy quickly made up her mind. Not wanting to waste time here, she told Vince quietly, "You need to get out of here somehow and call the cops.""But you'd be alone, Ms. Sachs—""Don't worry. I can take care of myself.""Alright." Not arguing, Vince slowly released Cordy while distancing himself. Cordy was the mob's target, and they naturally did not pay much attention to Vince, who squeezed his way through the crowd and called the cops.He was certainly impressed that Cordy could stay calm despite the danger, even though he did not expect them to leave without any problems—if anything, he felt like they were not making it home tonight.After he made the call, the cops soon arrived.However, the worke

Cordy hesitated momentarily, but she quickly followed John into his car too."Miss!" One of the police stopped them. "We need you to come to the precinct for a testimony.""Vince, go with the police. Walter will drive you back.""Alright. You should go, Ms. Sachs," Vince quickly said. Meanwhile, Cordy and Randy helped him into his Maybach. The car drove straight to the best private hospital in North City, with Randy riding shotgun and calling the Levines' family doctor.Cordy was glancing at John from time to time, who was reclining against his seat, his eyes closed and his face turning ever paler.Where did the steel pipe hit? Did it break bones? Rupture organs…? Cordy did not dare to go any further. She kept her eyes on the car's GPS, wanting to reach the hospital right then.Even so, it took them two hours to arrive. Still, there was a row of doctors in white coats waiting, and nurses quickly helped John out of the car.When someone touched John, Cordy clearly hea

Cordy's heart skipped a beat. She would be lying if she said she was not emotional.Even so, she composed herself and asked quietly, "But you'd do that for anyone, won't you?"As in, he would sacrifice himself readily for all his women!"Just you," John declared solemnly."Are you saying that I'm special?" Cordy asked.John raised a brow, clearly sensing that it was a loaded question.Before he could answer, however, she changed the subject since it was his private life. And she was in no position to ask. "Why did you suddenly show up at the production plant?" she asked."Walter told me that you were going. I was worried you'd get hurt, so I went for a look." John replied. "And I made it just in time."Otherwise… John did not want to imagine how terrible he would feel if it was Cordy lying in this bed instead.His gaze turned cool right then."My father put them up to this," Cordy admitted. "He never wanted me in charge of Starstream Group, and he gave me as much trou

And then there was the fact that John was so perfect, Cordy almost found him unreal.Nonetheless, she went to the other table and had a warm bowl of cereal, which relieved her stomach considerably.Moreover, she had been too busy lately to sleep probably, and drowsiness overcame her after she finished her food.Reclining against the couch in the ward, she soon fell asleep.She only woke up after night arrived, and someone had put a blanket over her without her knowing."You're awake." John's deep, alluring voice spoke just then, startling Cordy—she almost forgot where she was.John's lips curled into a smile in turn, finding her reaction adorable.Cordy blushed awkwardly and got off the couch, working hard to look calm and composed.She glanced at the clock in the ward to find that she had been sleeping for over three hours.She was supposed to be caring for the patient, but she slept more soundly than said patient."Do you need the washroom?" she asked offhandedly to try to

It took Cordy considerable effort to help John back to his bed.He was staying in a VVIP ward, though it was more apt to call it a suite. Nurses and rehab staff were waiting for orders in the living area, while Cordy was alone with John in the bedroom.Randy his assistant, was nowhere to be seen.And things suddenly got awkward as they were alone together. "Would you like some fruit?" Cordy asked, just to say something. "Yeah."She glanced at the fruits in the room and asked, "Apple?""Sure.""Okay."Cordy picked up an apple, washed it, and started peeling it.She was no fan of fruits and basically kept none at home. Moreover, she had been busy during her time abroad, at Jessop Corp, and now at Starstream Group. She never had time to peel fruits for herself, and the apple certainly left a mess.She awkwardly looked up at John and saw the obvious smile in his eyes as he asked, "Are you done?""If you don't mind," she said, and gave it to him.John stared at it before comm

It took Randy a long while to finish feeding John, and he fled the room after.Still, he did not forget to kindly lock the door behind him.Cordy glanced at the clock and saw that it was already 10 pm. She should be heading home. But just as she was about to speak, John suddenly said, "Please wipe my body."As she turned toward him, he continued, "The doctors told me that I should not bathe."She certainly knew that—but was it appropriate for her to do it?!"I'm not used to being touched by other men," John explained then, and Cordy quickly remembered that all the rehab staff were men too."I don't think I can sleep feeling dirty," John said. "Please."Cordy took a deep breath right then. It was always good manners to repay a favor, and she owed John more than a favor this time.Thus, she headed to the bathroom, filled a bucket with warm water, and soaked a towel before returning to him."Close your eyes," Cordy said. "I'll start with your face."John did as he was told,
