Chapter 315
Cordy bit her lip and refused to answer at all. 'I wouldn't know."
"Well, I never could get him to tell me," Zoe said nonchalantly, before adding, "By the way, I have one final scene to film tonight, and it has been put off for a while since I had other projects. Once I'm done, I'll ask my manager to clear my schedule for some time so I can keep you company until after your case is over."
"It's fine, I don't want to put off your work..." Cordy began.
"I'm doing it on my own will. Don't turn me down now," Zoe told her, not giving her a chance to argue. "My assistant will take me to the studio soon, and I'll be done around 2 or 3 AM. Just stay home and wait for me."
Cordy did not want to blow off Zoe's eagerness and remained on the couch after Zoe left, staring blankly into thin air.
There was no way Cordy could calm down-she was not that dauntless with the criminal charges against her.
Her fingers were twitching, but she eventually picked up her phone and called a number. "John."
"Yeah?" The voice on the other end sounded restrained, or maybe just surprised.
"The person you should investigate for my case is Noel," she told him.
She decided to confer with him.
"Yeah," John replied. "I had my people look into the links between Helen Zalenski and Noel to see if we have anything. Personally, I'm convinced that if Helen is willing to pull herself down with you, Noel must have a
leverage against her that must never come to light, or the offer Noel made was so good she could not refuse."
"I believe it would be the former," Cordy voiced her opinion.
"Yeah. I'll try to gather further details on her."
