A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 371

Chapter 371

The journalists were pestering them endlessly, and Sue answered reluctantly, "Cordy Sachs was verbally abusive towards my mother-in-law. She even pushed her a couple times and almost knocked her down. My mother's already seventy, and certainly couldn't take it if I didn't catch her... She's very distraught, and it took her a long while to calm down and leave. Please don't disturb her-she just wanted the best for the children, and for peace in the family."

With that, she helped Plum leave.

The journalists didn't dare to give chase, since Plum was indeed very old- no one could afford the responsibility if she fainted again, or if something even worse happened.

Cordy stood before the glass wall in her office, staring coolly as the journalists downstairs dispersed.

To Vince, who was standing behind her, she said, "Go to security. Request for footage of Plum Lang in my office, and send it to the media immediately."

After all, Cordy would never hold back against the Sachs.

"Yes, Miss Sachs," Vince replied respectfully.

In the afternoon, various media outlets were publishing articles of Cordy being abusive towards her grandmother Plum Lang. The topic soon became trending.

Yet no sooner had it made it there, new articles refuting that appeared and promptly shot to first place on hot searches.

The huge slap in the face reduced Plum to a joke. Almost immediately, everyone was flaming her.

Things like 'senile', 'wisdom doesn't come with age' and 'just deserts' were all amongst the criticisms shot her way; they almost gave her a heart attack.

Angered, she slapped Sue across the first with the back of her palm, leaving a huge crimson swell on the latter’s cheek.

Despite that, Plum remained absolutely livid; she was bent on venting all her frustrations on Sue.

"You b*tch! You knew Cordy wouldn't let me off easy, yet you still suggested something so dumb! How will I show my face in public now?!"

Sue was just as livid.
