A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237

Back at the Sachs’ residence, Plum was hopping with anger.

“Grandma, don’t be so angry,” Noel said, comforting Plum. “She’s probably not feeling too good after John’s engagement news, that’s why she lost control and said those harsh words to you.

“She had it coming!” Plum yelled. “She didn’t know her place and seduced John, having a pipe dream of getting married into a wealthy family!”

“Cordy did think a little too highly of herself. How could we ever be worthy of a family like the Levines?” Noel said with a helpless look on her face, “But we live and learn. Let’s hope that Cordy has learned her lesson this time.”

Despite what she said on the outside, Noel was not in fact happy with how things turned out.

She thought that she would be capable of seducing whoever Cordy managed to get her hands on and was fantasizing about finding the golden opportunity to snatch John away from Cordy. It turned out that John was already engaged, and it was someone with such an intimidating background that she did not dare to even think of provoking.

But on the bright side, she could not get it and neither could Cordy, and that thought made her feel better.

“It’s Cordy’s own business what she wants to do. She was no longer my daughter the moment she turned eighteen!” Simon said ruthlessly. “What I’m worried about now is the Jessops.”

“What about them?” Plum asked hurriedly. “Will Kyle dare to look down upon our Noel?”

She was worried that all the attention that Cordy was suddenly getting would make Kyle regret it.

“Not that.” Simon shook his head. “Dandy called me today to ask me for a capital injection. He said that Jessop Corp is about to launch a high-end brand and is short on funds. He offered me dividends once they breakeven.”

“Is there a problem?” Plum asked.

“Of course, there is. Jessop Corp’s shares have been on the decline and Starstream Group is currently dominating the market. According to insider information, many sponsors whom Kyle pulled back are now secretly withdrawing this investment. The so-called high-end brand that Jessop Corp is launching is nothing but a ruse just so they can make up for their lack of funds. I’d be a fool if I were to invest any of my money in them right now!” Simon became more agitated the more he spoke. “But because of that layer of relationship our family has with theirs, I can’t possibly just reject them outright.”

“Do we need to invest in them if we no longer share that relationship with them?” Noel asked.

Simon looked at his own daughter.
