A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94

In the end, they were just strangers who made a passing acquaintance.

“I’ll enforce a press gag as soon as possible. Send me your account number-I’ll wire any amount of capital you’re short of,” John eventually said, but his neutral voice obscured any emotion he felt. “I have a PR time specializing on crisis mitigation who’s abroad at the moment, but I’ll have them fly here by tomorrow morning. Just spare some time, and I’ll’arrange for a meeting.”

Cordy bit her lip.

She actually did not yearn for any help from anyone at this time-especially after all that she had been through.

Back when she was just eighteen, she had been mocked and ridiculed.

No one stood up for her, and her own biological father considered her such an embarrassment that he could not wait to send her abroad, so as to not have his reputation tarnished in turn.

This was the exact same situation, and everyone could not wait to cut ties from her…

That was, everyone except John and Zoe.

Confusion showed in Cordy’s eyes just then, as she almost could not make up her mind on her relationship with John now.

Even so, she said, “It’s fine. I can manage.”

“Am I not worthy of your trust?” John asked icily, putting pressure on every word.

Cordy’s heart skipped a bit, but she bit her lip and said, “No, you’re not.”

She believed that since nothing would ever come out of a relationship with him, she had no reason to give each other hope.

On the other end, John’s fingers were clenching.
