A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Cordy’s heart skipped a beat.

She would be lying if she said she was not emotional.

Even so, she composed herself and asked quietly, “But you’d do that for anyone, won’t you?”

As in, he would sacrifice himself readily for all his women!

“Just you,” John declared solemnly.

“Are you saying that I’m special?” Cordy asked.

John raised a brow, clearly sensing that it was a loaded question.

Before he could answer, however, she changed the subject since it was his private life.

And she was in no position to ask.

“Why did you suddenly show up at the production plant?” she asked.

“Walter told me that you were going. I was worried you’d get hurt, so I went for a look.” John replied. “And I made it just in time.”

Otherwise…

John did not want to imagine how terrible he would feel if it was Cordy laying in this bed instead. His gaze turned cool right then.

“My father put them up to this,” Cordy admitted. “He never wanted me in charge of Starstream Group, and he gave me as much trouble as he could to oust me.”

“Do you need my help?”

“I told you because I don’t want you to interfere,” Cordy said earnestly.

As John narrowed his eyes, Cordy sharply picked up on his intentions and her gaze turned cold as well.

“I’ll definitely get payback for you! Those who must be punished will not be spared!

She had had it with the Sachs-even if they had wounded her so grievously in the past, she had never thought to seek vengeance because she was a Sachs too.

They would have been fine if they stayed within each other’s boundaries and not meddled with each other’s business.

But her compromise clearly did not make them restrain themselves.

Instead, they were getting worse.

And she had no reason to be kind toward people who did not know what was good for them. “Fine,” John said.

He certainly respected her decision and would tolerate her as long as it was all within his control.

Cordy’s phone suddenly started to ring just then.
