A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239

Jessica left North City on Monday, and news outlets were filled with images of John sending her off and the two of them parting reluctantly at the airport.

Cordy wondered if there really were no other news worthy of reporting in North City. Were there no other delicious scandals in the entertainment circle? News of John and Jessica had been circling around for an entire week and pictures of them could be seen no matter which news outlet one browsed.

She put down her phone and walked into the senior management meeting room. A meeting on Starstream Fashion launching a high-end brand was ongoing.

Because her identity as lovely was exposed, many merchants have been knocking on their doors, wanting to cooperate with Starstream. It presented Starstream Group with a business opportunity, given their limited resources, in which they could achieve a win-win situation by expanding their marketing efforts through increased financing.

The key now was to choose the best merchant.

Cordy attended meetings upon meetings throughout the entire afternoon and discussed with the senior management for a long time.

Her phone had been switched to the silent mode throughout, and she only saw that she had a few missed calls when she finally returned to her office.

Some of them were from John, while others were from Kyle.

She chose to ignore them and went straight back to work.

The next time she took a breather, it was already past 9 PM.

They finally shortlisted three partners that looked more promising, and they agreed to arrive at a decision through a tender.

Cordy stretched her arms out and reached for her bag and car keys, finally ready to knock off for the day.

She entered the parking lot.

By now, most people in the office had left and the parking lot was empty and quiet.

Cordy pressed the button on her car key and stepped into the car.

A figure suddenly rushed out from the shadows and a hand covered Cordy’s mouth before she could even scream. She tried to fight against the man, but he was so strong that he would not budge no matter how hard she resisted.

Everyone was sent to the police station for their statements to be taken. 4

Bryson was detained by the police, while Cordy and Kyle managed to make it out of the police station.

By then, it was already 1 AM.

There was almost no one on the cold and empty streets.

The autumn wind in October was chilly, and Cordy sneezed.

“Are you cold?” Kyle shook off his jacket and handed it to Cordy.

“I’m not.” Cordy rejected him immediately.

Sensing Cordy’s resistance, Kyle did not force it on her.
