A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 91
A Life Debt Repaid
Kyle calmed down right then. âWhat do you mean?â
Even so, Noel still looked annoyed, as Kyleâs mockery and outburst left her utterly disgruntled.
She used to bear with his outbursts because she wanted him.
Now that she had zero interest in him, all he said only filled her with spite.
âSorry I got a little emotional, Noel,â Kyle said, naturally noticing that he had been too harsh, quickly turning mild-mannered as he could clearly tell that Noel had a plan. âPlease understand-Iâm just worried that youâre still helping your sister after she used you.â
While Noel was not that understanding, she did not get petty since Kyle was still useful to her.â You see, since Starstream Fashion is now wildly popular, every article on them is positive, with the media and netizens flattering them to no end. But if a scandal suddenly hits at this juncture, do you really think Starstream Fashion would retain their popularity? In fact, I expect a dramatic turn of the tide.â
Though Kyle quickly understood the plan, he asked, âBut is there a scandal involving Starstream Group? There was that shuffle of personnel, but I donât think itâd gain traction.â
âStarstream Group may not be involved in any scandals⦠but my sister sure is.
âWhat scandal?â Kyle was abruptly wary, and quickly added, âIâm not going to throw my reputation away here. Itâd be a pyrrhic victory!â
v own Obviously, he cared a lot about maintaining appearances, and he was worried that Noel would use his relationship with Cordy as fuel for a scandal.
No matter what happened, he did not want anyone to catch any dirt on him!
âRelax, Kyle. Of course I wonât let your reputation be tarnished-anyway, do you remember the photos I sent you before?â Noel asked.
Kyle thought about it, and soon realized what she was referring to. âYou meanâ¦â
âMy sisterâs reputation would be completely destroyed when those photos go public. Granted, itâs never been good, but itâd just give the photos more traction.â
Kyle was still hesitant, because it was a little despicable if he sent those photos.
âSleep on it, Kyle. Actually, I would never have suggested it at all⦠if it wasnât for the sake of Jessop Corp, especially when youâve worked so hard to revive it,â Noel said good-naturedly. â Anyway, Iâm hanging up now-
âItâs all Cordyâs own fault,â Kyle suddenly said.
Noel was grinning vilely right then.
When his personal gain was on the line, Kyle was absolutely unsentimental, even if he did feel guilty toward Cordy.
Still, Noel told Kyle, âThereâs no rush, Kyle. Let Starstream Fashion keep their hype for a few daysâ
âWhy?â Kyle asked-that would mean Jessop Corpâs sales would be affected even more.
âGiven the current situation, Cordy would definitely press production to increase their production rate, which adds to the costs. But if sales suddenly stop and they fail to cover the costs, Starstream Group finances would stagnate and my sister would have to sell her shares in exchange for capital. However, no other company would buy her shares or help once her reputation is utterly ruined, and when that happens, I can tell my father to buy all her shares, seizing the opportunity to reclaim Starstream.â
Kyleâs eyes twinkled following Noelâs explanation.
She had always seemed so delicate, so he was certainly surprised to find her capable of being so calculative and so thorough.
And the thought that Cordy would soon lose everything left him even more excited, so he hastily said, âLetâs go with your plan, Noel. Iâll help you anyway I can.â
âOkay,â Noel cooed.
âAnd once this is over, letâs announce our engagement,â Kyle added earnestly..
At the same time, he would praise Noelâs show of wit on this occasion publicly.
âThat would have to wait. If we want to cause a scandal for Cordy, we canât mention our relationship at all, or sheâd use it against us. When that happens, we would lose way more than what we gain.
âOkay.â Kyle agreed to it immediately.
