A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 348

'One day,' Noel thought to herself.

One day, she would rise to the top, and trample everyone beneath their feet!

"Mr. Levine! What's the reason you've come personally to witness Cordy Sachs' trial?"

"You're a really busy man, and you've only met Ms. Sachs on occasion. What brings you here?"

"I was the one who asked Johnny to come with me," Jessica said, butting in amid the journalists' endless questions.

"Ah, so Mr. Levine is just accompanying his fiancee. Well, Ms. Stuart, what brings you here to Ms. Sachs' trial?" the journalists asked eagerly.

"I admire Cordy, and my family have been eager to work with Cordy since our business already has a foothold here. It's therefore a pity that this would happen to her, and I've come today to see what becomes of this trial."

Jessica's response was very formal, but it did not impede her public persona as a decent, understanding person—which won a lot of points in her favor.

"Are you saying that your family would expand the family business into North City?"

"Of course. We will be spending more time here too."

"Ah, of course, since you will be residing here permanently once you tie the knot. By the way, when will that be? Is the date decided yet?"

"We have yet to, but don't worry—once we decide on it, we will make the announcement right away," Jessica answered, appearing perfectly cordial.

"Congratulations!" All the journalists wished them well right then.

"Sorry, but the trial will be starting soon," Jessica said politely. "If everyone can make way for us… and thank you for your good work!"

The journalists did not harass them at all, since they could not afford to upset neither the Levines nor the Stuarts.

As John and Jessica made their way into the courtroom, there were already many people seated inside.

It was a public trial, and since Cordy was quite famous in North City, many individuals with status were there.

John and Jessica just took their seats at the front row when Jay suddenly arrived and sat beside John.

John gave him a look, since he was the one who sent Jay to the hospital last night. He therefore knew very well that Jay was hurt all over his body and not just the face.
