All Chapters of A Life Debt Repaid: Chapter 291 - Chapter 300

Now, Dicky was shaking with inconsolable rage. He had been bullied, and his beloved mother was mocked for protecting him; she almost got hit for it, too!Hence, he took the trash can off Jerry's head, his little cheeks looking stern as he demanded, "Apologize to my mommy and me!"John’s lips curled up in a smile. Dicky had always been quiet, withdrawn, and poor at expressing himself. He would never behave like a spoiled child around him either; that honor belonged to only Cordy.Yet, he was now able to strut and demand an apology. All children can definitely be taught!Nonetheless, Jerry kept bawling and refused to apologize. Adam suddenly pulled Jerry aside and slapped him.Even as Jerry bawled harder, Adam barked at him, "Apologize, now!"That certainly scared Jerry—he had always been the little tyrant at home, and his father had never laid a finger on him. Now, however, he had no choice but to apologize tamely, with an almost inaudible voice, "I'm sorry.""Louder!" Dick

Cordy smiled slightly and gave Dicky both thumbs-up in encouragement, showing that she didn’t mind, let alone care about keeping up appearances.As the teachers arranged the groups, they noticed that one of the children didn’t have both parents with her—even though elite private schools like this usually insisted on having both parents attend school activities.Before things could get awkward, Dicky suddenly asked one of the teachers, "Can my mommy join us?""But your mommy's already here…""That's my mommy," Dicky pointed at Cordy on the stands. The teacher simply presumed it to be a child's innocent banter, and didn’t dwell on it as she said, "Of course."She went off to invite Cordy, who agreed to it since Dicky was so eager, and played mommy for the little girl.As the relay was about to begin, Cordy and Dicky were close enough to speak to each other although they were in different groups."Are you good at running, Mommy?""Of course," Cordy said proudly. "Where do you th

After dinner, Cordy helped Dicky take a bath as usual. She then handed him a storybook to read by himself while she took a bath.When she undressed, she looked at the mirror to see a large bruise on her rear flank. It hurt from the slightest movement, but she gritted her teeth and finished her bath. She changed into her pajamas, then took a tube of ointment from the first-aid kit.She stood before the full-length mirror in the living room, pulling up her shirt and lowering her trousers slightly, baring her hip so that it was easier to apply the ointment.However, she blinked just as she was about to do it—she saw John in the mirror's reflection.He was suddenly approaching her from the living room, as if he had been there for a while without her noticing.Cordy promptly lowered her shirt and pulled up her trousers, scowling as she snapped, "What are you doing here?"She clearly recalled changing her door password to stop him, and therefore never expected him to enter anyway witho

Cordy quickly turned towards Vince and said quietly, "I'll be going with the prosecutors, so you're taking over the rest. The invitation to tender is definitely going to be called off, but keep dragging it out until I can return and clean up this mess.""Yes, ma'am," Vinc replied quickly, but he could hardly hide his apprehension.He was genuinely impressed that she could remain composed even at a time like this.With those simple instructions, Cordy left with the prosecutors. Nonetheless, news of Cordy's arrest soon spread all over North City, leaving everyone in shock.She certainly had been making a lot of headlines lately; whenever one headline was cooling off, she would get another headline which was somehow more sensational. It was as if she existed on trending searches in a loop!John was having a meeting abroad when Cordy was arrested.Zoe called him to inform him of her arrest, but he hung up the first time.When she called him again, he already sensed something was w

Quinn and Sam left the hotel together, with the former driving and the latter riding shotgun.Along the way, Quinn said, "I asked a friend for a brief on Cordy Sachs' case, but it doesn't look good. They have material witnesses and physical evidence, and the charges are clear cut. Bribery and tax evasion—and with such huge amounts of capital involved? That's basically ten years.""Let's bail Cordy out for now," Sam replied. "Johnny will find a way.""Yeah," Quinn replied.Suddenly, Sam reached out and grabbed the steering wheel—a car zipped past theirs right then! If Sam hadn’t shifted the steering wheel, their car would’ve crashed into the car beside them.The driver even wound down his window and yelled angrily at them, "Where'd you learn to drive?! Just stay home instead!" Sam glowered as he yelled back viciously, "That's your own damn fault! You should be looking behind before you switch lanes!"Quinn pursed her lips in silence, since it was actually her driving skills t
