A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 308

Chapter 308

Quinn understood that Zoe thought poorly of Sam because of her, but she did not want Zoe to get upset for her sake either.

"We're more or less done discussing the case, and I'm hungry," Sam said." Let's go eat.”

"Okay." Jay agreed.

"What do you like to eat? I'll book a place," Sam asked, turning toward Zoe just then.

He usually never held a grudge, since he considered her a headstrong younger sister.

"You boys go on your own-l'm eating with Quinn alone." Zoe refused immediately, before adding, "It's hard to eat around people you don't like."

Sam sighed. "Can't you be a little less petty, Zoe?"

"Wasn't talking about you," Zoe replied and started pulling Quinn along." Come on, let's go."

Sam watched as they left, and it was only after a long while that he realized what Zoe meant.

Wheeling on Jay right then, he exclaimed, "Did she actually mean... you?!"

"Yeah," Jay replied.

"Well, I don’t get it. You've always been nice and never been harsh to Zoe... Why would she hate you so much?" Sam mused in curiosity. "Johnny's personality is even worse, and he's always so strict with her, but she loves him to bits. Is it simply in her nature to be an ingrate? Or maybe blood really runs thicker than water?!'

But since Jay did not explain anything, Sam did not ask, presuming that Jay did not know why either.

Cordy was kept in custody for an entire night.

The environment was poor and the bed very hard, and she was suddenly reminded of Kyle who was staying in a place like this just recently.

She did not expect her to suffer the same fate so quickly.

But after plenty of soul-searching and calming down last night, she was able to consider the case against her seriously.

That was when she realized that it was not just Jessica who did it.

Even the most rational would feel an impulsive rage when facing people out to hurt them.

Noel immediately noticed Cordy’s reaction too.

To be honest, Noel had had enough of letting Cordy lord over her and wanted nothing less than to crush Cordy to bits under her foot. It certainly felt cathartic to see Cordy ending up so haggard, but Noel worked hard not to show it.

Naturally, Noel could not wait to see Cordy like this—that was why she was here.

"Oh, how could you make such a blunder? I mean, tax evasion?' Noel exclaimed, looking like she meant well. "Our father had always paid every cent in tax while he was board chairman, but even if sales increased by leaps and bounds under your leadership, you shouldn’t do anything illegal..."

Cordy laughed coolly and exposed Noel right then. 'It's your doing, no?

Why bother shedding crocodile tears?"

"What are you talking about? Why would I do something like this? I'd never be capable of going this far,' Noel said.

She naturally denied it, but she also had to admit that Cordy was smart... To think that Cordy suspected her already!
