A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 332

Chapter 332

There were three days left until Cordy’s trial.

Meanwhile, Sachs Enterprises was celebrating their anniversary.

They were not exactly keeping things quiet-the major media outlets were reporting it, at the very least.

Naturally, the articles online were peppered with titles such as 'Sachs Enterprise celebrates anniversary while disregarding Cordy Sachs' trial'.

Those titles drew controversy as it went online.

Some netizens maintained that the Sachs were too cold, since Cordy was their eldest daughter but none of them showed concern.

Others claimed that since she was on bad terms with the Sachs, and since Cordy had already left them anyway, she should be taking responsibility for her own actions no matter how terrible it was.

There was considerable controversy as both sides held their ground.

On the night of the Sachs Enterprises' anniversary gala, the family was being interviewed by the media, with Plum declaring with righteous indignation before the cameras, "Cordy has nothing to do with us since she was nineteen. I may be bitterly disappointed in her after she was charged, but I feel no sympathy. It was her own choice, insisting on running astray instead of taking a righteous path, and she's just getting her just deserts."

Still, one of the journalists asked, "Madam Sachs, why did your family disown Cordy when she was nineteen? Was it because she was pregnant without marriage, and affected your family's reputation? But she's a member of your family, and don’t you think kicking her out after one mistake is very cold?'

"That's not all she did. Cordy has always misbehaved, disrespecting her elders and bullying her siblings ever since a child. She also didn't change after getting pregnant out of wedlock, and has in fact become worse-it's obvious that her nature was vile from what she was caught doing. We're not that kind that we'd keep defending some ingrate like her. Everyone has a limit."

Another journalist pressed, "According to our information, Cordy is exceedingly talented in business and a prodigy in fashion design. Just half a year after she assumed leadership of Starstream Enterprises, the company's performance improved by leaps and bounds-they almost seemed unstoppable, and they were lauded as North City’s finest dark horse. Given the way you just put her down and distanced your family from her without any remorse, aren't you afraid that the family would suddenly need her help?"

"Our family, hoping for help from Cordy in the current state she's in?! We'd never ask a misfit like her for anything! I'm already grateful she did not try to take our family's fortune from us!" Plum continued to scoff.

Since it was a live interview, Cordy sat in front of the TV, watching coolly as Plum mocked her to no end.

She was always too used to it, and whatever the Sachs would say did not affect her much these days.

She simply treated it as tabloid news.
