A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94

In the end, they were just strangers who made a passing acquaintance.

“I’ll enforce a press gag as soon as possible. Send me your account number-I’ll wire any amount of capital you’re short of,” John eventually said, but his neutral voice obscured any emotion he felt. “I have a PR time specializing on crisis mitigation who’s abroad at the moment, but I’ll have them fly here by tomorrow morning. Just spare some time, and I’ll’arrange for a meeting.”

Cordy bit her lip.

She actually did not yearn for any help from anyone at this time-especially after all that she had been through.

Back when she was just eighteen, she had been mocked and ridiculed.

No one stood up for her, and her own biological father considered her such an embarrassment that he could not wait to send her abroad, so as to not have his reputation tarnished in turn.

This was the exact same situation, and everyone could not wait to cut ties from her…

That was, everyone except John and Zoe.

Confusion showed in Cordy’s eyes just then, as she almost could not make up her mind on her relationship with John now.

Even so, she said, “It’s fine. I can manage.”

“Am I not worthy of your trust?” John asked icily, putting pressure on every word.

Cordy’s heart skipped a bit, but she bit her lip and said, “No, you’re not.”

She believed that since nothing would ever come out of a relationship with him, she had no reason to give each other hope.

On the other end, John’s fingers were clenching.

After that, he called Zoe, telling her and her management company that they were not to do anything that could make Cordy look bad, even siding with Cordy unconditionally. If Randy could be honest there, the man’s demand was more cruel than human!

And lastly, he contacted the bank, confirming the current amount of his personal movable capital before calling Cordy.

He had clearly calmed himself down when he made the call too, perhaps out of worry that his tone might rub her wrong. Heaven knows how tense that he must have been-he was almost snapping that golden fountain pen in his right hand.

And yet… All he got was that cool rejection.

His heart must have shattered into flat, two-dimensional mosaic pieces.

“Actually, sir… isn’t it likely that Mrs. Levine was convinced that she can resolve this crisis herself, and therefore can afford to turn you down?” Randy asked gingerly just then.

As John blinked, Randy explained, “I think she had always been outstanding and rational. She’d never play around with Starstream Group, the only inheritance she got from her mother. That’s why you shouldn’t feel let down, sir.”
