A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 302

"It might be difficult with our current strength," Quinn admitted. "But we might stand a chance with Mr. Levine."

Cordy pursed her lips. "Ms. Summer, who do you think is the mastermind?"

Quinn was quiet for a moment.

"That means you probably have an idea." Cordy nodded. "And given my connection to John, and his and hers, who do you think he'll help?"

"I'm no savant when it comes to relationships," Quinn confessed. "But my opinion is that since Mr. Levine was willing to ask Sam Saunders to entrust me with your case, he definitely cares."

"But relationships mean nothing when money is at stake."

Quinn paused right then, since she had no comeback against that.

She had only previously met Cordy once alongside Zoe during a dinner.

Since Zoe was busy drinking and Quinn had to be her chaperone, Quinn did not have the time to get better acquainted with Cordy.

And now, she was assuredly seeing Cordy in a new light, and she felt for an instant that Cordy was just like her.

As such, she told Cordy, "Even so, we have to try. Going down kicking and screaming is much better than nothing, not to mention that there is a chance to turn everything around. Moreover, I can assure you that even if you weren't connected to Sam Saunders or Mr. Levine, I'd go all out to help you anyway just because you are Zoe's friend."

Cordy's heart skipped a beat.

Even if Quinn appeared aloof—probably because she was a lawyer—her words and expressions were prim and proper, and she always kept a stiff upper lip. As such, she certainly gave people the impression that she was dependable.

Though they had only met once, Quinn was definitely sharp and smart enough to tell who she faced now.

"Alright, I understand the general situation now," Quinn said, not dragging her feet at all. "I've tried to post bail, but they're refusing to let you leave for the time being. However, I'll contact you immediately in case of new clues regarding your case."

"But if my defense fails… How many years are we looking at?" Cordy asked.

Quinn looked at Cordy just then and thought to herself that Cordy was honestly too rational.

Still, she admitted, "I'll try to plead your case, reducing it to ten years."

Ten years…

And there goes her youth.
