A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 620

The man became agitated right then. "Are you kidding me?! He hit me, but I should apologize?! You were just messing with me, weren't you?!

Cordy threatened him in turn, "I was very clear. I'm compensating you for the injury my friend inflicted, but you were in the wrong because you provoked my friend first. I won't pay you if you don't apologize, and I'm not afraid of a lawsuit either—there are plenty of others present to testify if you struck first or if my friend did. And I'm sure there would be cameras there as well!"

The man was left staring at her, stunned.

He never expected that despite her beauty and delicate appearance, she was actually this tough!

He glanced at the police officers nearby, but they were not saying anything.

Their objective was simple—to have the matter resolved, and that would be one less issue for them.

"I'm counting to three. It's a lawsuit if you still refuse to apologize," Cordy said, staring sharply at the man. "One. Two…

"Alright, I'll apologize," the man relented then.

Cordy smiled coolly then, while Lucas blinked—she really managed to settle the issue with money.

The man turned toward Lucas then, and he stared back in turn.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come over to… tease you," the man said, and blushed immediately, the embarrassment finally getting to him.

And once he apologized, he quickly turned to Cordy and asked, "Is that good enough?"

"Sign the agreement to settle," Cordy reminded him.

The man did so, gritting his teeth.

Lucas followed suit.

Naturally, Cordy did not break her promise and wired the man the money—she did not want more trouble in the future, just as it was not worth it if they wasted their time on pointless matters.

When everything was done, they left the precinct.

Cordy went to stand outside her car and said bluntly, "I will send my account number later. Remember to pay me that seventy-five grand."

With that, she opened her door and got in without a pause, ready to leave immediately.
