A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 254
A Life Debt Repaid
Zoe wasnât with Cordy in person, but she could practically feel how packed and busy Cordy was.
Zoe let out a long sigh.
Perhaps work was able to make Cordy forget about the upsetting things that were going on. She had been this way since back then. She hardly ever stopped to breathe since the start of her career.
Cordy put away her phone and headed to the conference room. The meeting today was to discuss the bidding, and the afternoon was to be spent looking at the creation of a new brand.
Enter titleâ¦
For a business to continue to grow, it must be continuously innovative.
When the meeting ended, it was time to get off work. However, Cordy stayed in the office and continued to process the many internal requests she had in hand.
As she continued her work silently, her phone started ringing.
She glanced at it, then pressed the button to reject the call. After a while, her phone rang again. This time, it was an unfamiliar number calling.
She hesitated for a moment before answering, âHello?â
âHello, Miss Sachs? This is the South Park police. We need you to clarify some things regarding the assault incident between Bryson Zimmer and Kyle Jessop last night, so please come by the station.â
âAlright,â Cordy replied. âRight now?â
âItâs best if you could come by immediately.â
âTH be right there,â Cordy said before hanging up. Then, she picked up her work and walked out of her office.
When Vince saw Cordy leaving the office, he was surprised as she usually didnât leave work early.
âMiss Sachs.â
âI left my computer on. There are a lot of internal requests still outstanding, and I need you to help me deal with them. Call me or message me if thereâs any youâre unsure about.â
âUnderstood,â Vince replied hurriedly.
Cordy took a cab to the police station. She wasnât a very good driver and hadnât slept much last night, so she decided that taking a cab to work was the better option as she was afraid to drive while tired.
When she arrived at the police station, Kyle was also there.
She hadnât answered Kyleâs call as she hadnât wanted to deal with him. She had been so busy that she almost forgot about what happened with Bryson last night.
âMiss Sachs, Mr. Jessop. Please come with me to the office. There are some things we need you both to clarify.â
âAlright,â Cordy replied with ease, having no problem cooperating.
She was definitely going to sue Bryson. There was no room for negotiation on this matter. That was why she ignored Plumâs calls from the time Bryson had been detained.
An eye for an eye. Cordy had always been this way.
She spent more than an hour at the police station, and when she and Kyle left, Kyle said, âIâll send you back. I drove today.â
âNo need,â Cordy replied.
âGetting a cab at this hour wonât be easy.â
âIâm not in a hurry.â
âWhy donât we have dinner together?â Kyle suggested.
Before Cordy could reply, Kyle continued, âI didnât mean anything else by that.
After Jessop Corp got into trouble this time, I realized you had done a lot for me back then. I regret what I did to you, and I know itâs too late to say anything like that now. I only hope youâll give me one chance to apologize sincerely. After this, I wonât ever bother you again.â
âThereâs no need forthat,â Cordy refused again. There was not the slightest hesitation in her tone.
Kyle ground his teeth together. He hadnât expected Cordy to treat him so coldly.
He even began to doubt if this womanâs feelings for him in the past were genuine.
He had already humbled himself to this point, yet she was still so heartless and uncaring.
âKyle, if you really feel any regret and guilt toward me, you wouldnât be pestering me right now. To suddenly treat me so kindly can only mean you have some ulterior motives.â
Kyle flushed in anger as Cordy exposed him ruthlessly.
âI know exactly whatâs running through your mind right now, and I wonât give you any chance to take advantage of me,â Cordy said before turning around to walk away.
Kyleâs eyes were filled with anger, and he trembled with the effort he exerted to suppress the rage.
Just as he thought he was about to explode in rage, Cordy suddenly collapsed before his eyes.
