A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131

Plum was left staring blankly at Simon–her own son had never yelled at her like that before!

And usually, what she said went, but now, he was scolding her while pointing at her face in front of so many doctors and nurses!

It was absolutely humiliating, especially at her age!

She certainly could not suffer the ignominy, and her eyes were red as she pointed back at him. How dare you raise your voice at me…”

Simon, however, was too furious to care what she thought.

He was absolutely afraid that Cordy would blow things out of proportion and destroy Sachs Enterprises‘ reputation, as well as his personal reputation for being the No.1 Son of North City.

Otherwise, he would not care if Plum was behind bars, let alone to suffer Cordy’s tantrums!

“Do whatever you want!” he snapped before storming off.

Plum’s blood pressure skyrocketed then, watching as her own son strode off as she watched, leaving her in the hospital!

Sue Yorkman, who came to the hospital with them and saw them argue, quickly reasoned, “Plum, you should be more understanding toward Simon on this one. Things are not peaceful at Sachs Enterprises at the moment, but he still bailed you out at the precinct and sought legal advice for your case when he already had his hands full. Cordy has all the evidence she needs against you and if she doesn’t settle it out of court, you’ll be sentenced to three years in prison for causing deliberate harm. And at your age, you won’t even last a month!”

“Is it really that serious?” Plum exclaimed in disbelief.

After all, she thought nothing of Cordy. Having abused Cordy for most of her life, she did not expect the day would come when Cordy could fight back!

“It really is that serious!” Sue insisted. “Just listen to Simon–apologize to Cordy. She’s your granddaughter, so she won’t ignore you completely.”

Plum was still huffing nonetheless–the thought of yielding to Cordy was sickening.

“Think about it this way… Once this is over, we just have to watch out so that she does not get leverage against us. She’s just a brat–she’ll never win against you, and you’ll eventually get to even the score.”

Plum was more or less comforted by Sue’s words, and she refused to believe that she could not punish Cordy!

Meanwhile, Cordy could not fall asleep again after she was woken, and got out of bed by habit to read the news.

The whole internet was still flaming Kyle and Noel, and it seemed to only be getting worse–it showed no sign of stopping either.
