A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 355

Chapter 355

In the solemn and stately court, Judge Faden announced, "In accordance with the decision of the collegial panel and through courtroom investigations and debate, there is insufficient evidence to convict Cordy Sachs of bribery of 1 million dollars and tax evasion of over 7 million. She is to be immediately released."

The moment the announcement was made, cheers sounded across the court.

Not everyone wanted to see Cordy captured. Most wanted the court to seek justice. What's more, the case was filled with twists and turns which explained the enthusiastic response toward the announcement.

Noel was horror-stricken.

She looked at the joyful faces around her and almost yelled out loud.

She had thought that it was a foregone conclusion that Cordy would be thrown into jail. Yet...yet...everything was screwed up!

Why in the world was Cordy so capable that she could escape unscathed time and time again?

Was even Jessica and the Stuarts no match for her?

Noel gritted her teeth with anger.

Jessica was not much better, but because John was seated next to her, she did not dare to express what she was feeling inside. Conversely, she had to pretend to be very happy. That psychological distortion almost drove her mad!

She had done so much to put everything in place; all that was left was the missing piece in the puzzle. Yet she had to lose this missing piece!

She had thought that she could rest assured with Noel overseeing things, but clearly, she had been careless.

Noel might be quick-witted, but she was no match for Cordy at all. If she were a match for Cordy, Cordy would not have managed to make it out of the courtroom in one piece.

Jessica tried to hide her emotions as best as she could.

She glanced at John seated next to her.

From the start to the end, the moment Cordy appeared in court, his gaze never once left her.

When it was announced that Cordy was to be immediately released, she was unable to tell what he was feeling.

Was he unwilling to divulge his true feelings in front of anyone with the sole exception of Cordy?!
