A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 498

Cordy was amongst the many who submitted tenders to acquire Levine Ventures.

She wasn’t interested in the Levines' estate, but she was convinced that she needed to save something for Dicky.

Who knows? A spark might be all it takes to keep a fire going.

Moreover, she was still partners with Patrick, who was eager to acquire Levine Ventures too. He certainly offered her as much financial backing as she needed, and they often discussed which subsidiary or shares to acquire for a successful acquisition.

It was also customary for Patrick to provide her with certain insider information after business discussions. Though he appeared to do it out of the goodness of his heart, Cordy had the feeling that he simply liked to gossip like some housewives would.

"Jessica will be announcing her new engagement in a few days just then," Patrick said.

Cordy frowned.

She heard before from Patrick that Jessica was quickly brought to heel by her own family, but this development was still way too fast!

John still hadn’t been put on trial, yet Jessica was already getting married again?

"Which family is it this time?" Cordy asked.

She had asked Patrick before, and his reply before had been he didn’t know until now.

He would never keep anything from Cordy either, since it was pointless. Plus, she didn’t have that much influence.

"The Cranstons from the capital," Patrick breathed solemnly.

Cordy's brow furrowed.

"It's all cloak and dagger stuff," Patrick replied, "so I won't say anything for now."

Cordy didn’t ask either, since ignorance was bliss and she didn’t want to burden Patrick.

"By the way, John’s trial is in half a month. Has he gathered evidence for his case? If he doesn't have anything to prove his innocence, the huge capital involved means it’d either be 25-to-life or a life sentence."

Cordy bit her lip.

She actually didn’t visit John much, but each time she did, the feeling she got from him was that he would be fine.

She did wonder before where he got such confidence, but now, her only option was to believe in him.

"Well, we had two months of peace, and the nagging feeling of an impending bloodbath returns," Patrick sighed. "Fortunately, the Stuarts are keeping Jessica on a tight leash, or she'd have harassed you by now. Her family, however, would definitely be worried she'd lose it and in turn affect her wedding with Fred Cranston."
