Chapter 533
A Life Debt Repaid
Cordyâs fingers were trembling even as she held her phone.
âNo⦠Please let Dicky be alright!â
Cordy never expected Jessica to target Dicky, since she was still engaged to Fred. Reasonably speaking, the Stuartsâ crimes were only exposed hours ago, and they should still be keeping Jessica on a leash instead of letting her go to North City.
It was why Cordy never worried about it, but it was now clear that Jessica had been ready to bring everything down with her just to get back at her and John. In fact, Jessica probably did not expect her own family to be arrested!
That woman was crazy!
Cordyâs hands were trembling even as she called Richardâs teacher, but perhaps because her phone was on silent or she was in class, the call went unanswered.
âCalm down.â John assured Cordy when he saw her reaction. âItâs going to be fine. I was just checking.â
However, Cordyâs female intuition was already positive that Jessica was seizing the opportunity to take Richard away when everyone was focused on John.
And the thought that the crazy b*tch had her⦠Cordy could not calm down at all!
âLend me your phone,â John said calmly.
His phone long since ran out of battery after he had been detained for so long.
Cordy quickly did so, and after John dialed a number, he was soon barking orders. âRandy, contact the principal at Dickyâs school right now. Tell him that Iâm coming to get Dicky myself soon, and that no one except me is allowed to leave with him.â
âYes, Mr. Levine.â
John hung up, after of which the car became suffocatingly silent.
Soon, Cordyâs phone rang, and everyone in the car tensed up too.
John answered it. âRandy.â
âSir, the principal just informed me that your son left school with Jessica Stuart at 10 AM. She was claiming that sheâs his mother!â
Johnâs scowled trite then, and Cordy noticed.
âAlright, understood!â John said, and hung up.
âJessica has him?â Cordy asked, seeing that murderous glare in his eyes then.
John gulped but nodded.
It was a bolt from the blue, and Cordy felt like her world fell apart just then.
She would rather Jessica came for her and could scarcely imagine what Jessica would do to her boy.
And if she really didâ¦
âCalm down,â John said, trying to reassure Cordy even though his hand was shaking too. âJessica wonât do anything to him. Sheâs just using him to threaten us, and she hasnât called us yet, meaning that Dicky is safe.â âBut what if he isnât? Jessica is smart enough to know how to hurt us in the worst way possible!â Cordy cried. âShe knew that Dicky is my weakness, that heâs most important to me!â
