A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372

Plum was livid. "How dare you?!"

Simon didn't even look her way, however, and turned to leave.

"You will pay for this, Simon!’ Plum shrieked, but she couldn't stop the servants from dragging her upstairs and shutting her in her own room.

No matter how she fought or screamed, no one cared.

Sue certainly felt cathartic upon seeing what befell Plum.

She was uneasy when Noel took control over Sachs Enterprises; to Sue, it was rightfully Sonny Sachs's. However, using that to trample all over Plum wasn't so bad either.

After all, Noel was her own daughter. She doubted that Noel had no attachment towards her mother.

Cordy was working in her office at Starstream Group when Vince knocked on the door, saying, "Miss Sachs? There's a Mr. Patrick Stuart here to see you."

Patrick who?!

"He said he wanted to discuss investing in Starstream High Fashion," Vince explained.

Cordy remained silent.

With the invitation to tender before falling through, she had come to an initial agreement with the board at the meeting in the morning that they would keep investing in their company. While the risk was huge and capital management would be precarious, it also meant their sales and operations were independent without involving third parties. With management rights in their own hands, operations would go more than smoothly.

Even so...

"Show him in.” Cordy said. She was convinced that people in business should not reject any opportunities.

Soon, a man in a black suit entered.

"In that case, may I ask for an introduction to your company, Mr. Stuart?” Cordy asked.

"Of course," Patrick said as he took out a dossier from his briefcase."

That's the company I own-it's nothing impressive, but we don't lack money. N

Cordy stared at him.

Rarely could anyone speak of money so lightly!

"Fair enough," Cordy replied, her eyes still on the dossier as she asked nonchalantly, "What's your relationship with the Stuarts of Rocktown?"

Patrick's lips curled into a smile. "Now that you mention it... I guess Jessica Stuart could be considered my cousin."

Cordy's eyes narrowed as he continued, ’Her grandfather is my grandfather's brother. You should be aware that half of the Stuarts are in business, while the rest are in politics, yes? I'm one of the latter."
