A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 508

The courtroom was once again restless, while Cordy was clenching her knuckles.

She knew Sean didn’t take this case as a run-of-the mill prosecutor.

He came without caring if he would arouse suspicion, and there was no doubt that the Stuarts put him up to it.

"Calm down," Quinn whispered into Cordy's ear, sensing her nervousness. "The evidence John provided so far isn't enough to maintain his innocence, anyway. Sean was just telling it as he is, and if I were in his shoes, I'd make the same rebuttals as well. He's not being biased yet."

Cordy bit her lip in restraint while Quinn continued, "Moreover, if John is really innocent, the best solution is to clear himself of all charges, to avoid any unnecessary issues in the future."

Cordy nodded in silence.

She understood that Quinn was right, but she was losing her cool because John was really at a disadvantage at the moment.

She had no idea if she could accept an unfavorable verdict either, as the dam she kept over her emotions was slowly crumbling.

To be precise, her wariness against John had been fading since she learned that he was arrested. Any resolve, calmness and composure since were all feigned.

She wanted him to be freed, so, so much… They could begin again when he returned, and she would make up for everything she owed him.
