A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136

“Well, there’s nothing I can really do against you…” Cordy said, sounding as if she could not help it.

Plum was delighted inwardly, convinced that Cordy was already giving up.

Age before beauty, indeed! Cordy never stood a chance against her!

“Well, we are family, so we shouldn’t hold grievances against each other,” Plum said cheerfully. “In that case, you should go to the police station and rescind your charges-”

“An outsider like you doesn’t get to decide what happens to Sachs Enterprises!” Cordy snapped at Sue right then, leveling her an icy look. “Who do you think you are, criticizing me?!”

Sue was left flushing, but she did not have a comeback against Cordy.

“Cordy Sachs!” Simon screamed right then, his temper flaring as he proceeded to insult Cordy, You really should know your place! Do you really think I’d give you ten percent of my company’s shares?! What right do you have to take from me?! Dream on!”

And she was only further provoked by the look of contempt in Cordy’s eyes!

“Those shares are my rightful inheritance,” Cordy said icily.
