A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 7


    Chapter 7


    The vast meeting was filled with Starstream Group key executives, and Noel was standing on the


    podium. She was about to speak as she assumed the post of CEO when she suddenly noticed Cordy


    standing at the door, and she froze.Simon, who was seated in the middle of the front row, turned


    around to look when he saw the weird look in Noel’s eyes.He glowered the instant he saw Cordy and


    sprang to his feet, storming toward Cordy with a look of disgust and contempt as everyone else looked


    on. “What are you doing here?!”“This is my mother’spany. Is there a problem?” Cordy asked in


    return.She was calm but no less imposing, and she was certainly not cowed by Simon.“I don’t want to


    argue right now,” Simon snapped impatiently. “Get out of here right now—I don’t have time to waste on


    you today. Whatever it is, you can tell meter!”However, Cordy shared the same sentiment and simply


    walked straight into the conference room.Noel watched as she did so, her eyes shing dangerously


    for an instant.Still, an angelic smile appeared on her face the next second. “Hey, sis! Did youe to


    see my appointment as CEO? I’m so d!”Cordy actually thought that it was a waste that Noel was not


    an actress. Simply ignoring her, Cordy whipped out a document in front of everyone and made an


    announcement.“Greetings, I’m Cordy Sachs. I havee to Starstream to assume ownership over the


    company as per myter mother’s wishes. I’m grateful to my father for taking care of thepany


    before my return.”The conference room was left in an uproar right after she spoke.What?! Starstream


    actually belonged to Cordy?! Then what did Simon and Noel amount to in thepany?!Cordy


    appeared unconcerned about their shock. “Starting today, I have full control over Starstream. I hope I


    have your support.”She then bowed, although it was a gesture to assert her dominance.Noel was left


    standing awkwardly on the podium, still holding the speech she prepared especially for this


    asion.Cordy’s announcement left everyone staring at Noel—this was the first time she was left


    looking like a fool, and Cordy was the one who did this to her!She was supposed to take over


    Startstream Group today, only for Cordy to give her a p across the face!She certainly had never


    been humiliated like this. She always got anything she wanted even as a child, with Cordy ending up


    battered and looking like an idiot.Her eyes suddenly welled with innocent tears as she asked gingerly,


    “Do you need money… sis?”Cordy was glowering but said nothing, so Noel quickly pressed, “Calm


    down, sis. I just don’t understand… You never cared about Starstream, so why would you suddenly


    want to take over? I even heard from Kyle that you fell for a firefighter the other day, and that you might


    be in trouble?”Noel’s seemingly offhandment left the executives in an uproar again.So Cordy was


    so horrific that she caused trouble just to get money for her lover?! Did she not feel embarrassed?!At


    the same time, Simon’s expression darkened. “I’ll pay you a million dors right, so get out! Don’t ever


    show up here—you shouldn’t be here!”Simon’s outburst only solidified the impression that Cordy was


    short on money, but sheughed despite her rage.On the other hand, Noel was upset to hear that


    Cordy would be given money. From her perspective, Cordy deserved nothing!Still, considering that she


    would get the entirepany in return, she said, “I can wire you the money today if you need it


    urgently—I just hope you won’t hook up with that man anymore…” “Hook up? You mean like how you


    hooked up with my fiance?”Noel’s face turned pale. “Kyle and I never did anything like that…”Her affair


    with Kyle Jessop certainly must not be exposed, since both their families’ reputation would be


    tarnished!“That’s enough! Stop trying to distort the facts!” Simon barked. He then whipped out his


    checkbook to quickly write a check. “Here, it’s 500 grand. I’ll wire you the rest once you sign over the


    company!”With that, he tore out the check and threw it at Cordy’s feet.Check looked down at it and


    slowly arched her back to pick it up.Nearby, Noel was sneering, thinking to herself that Cordy was a


    gold-digger like any other person, and certainly never that noble!However, Cordy merely leveled a cool


    re at Simon after she picked up the check. Then, she tore it into pieces as everyone looked on and


    threw the pieces back at Simon.“Starstream Group’s profits reach dozens of millions per annum,


    and its worth is well over hundreds of millions! And you’re brazenly telling me to give it up for a


    million?!”Cordy’s sharp words were a p to Simon’s face, putting him down and leaving him utterly


    awkward in front of everyone!Noel’s face fell, surprised that Cordy would know such intricate


    details.“You have one day to settle any outstanding tasks and to pack your things,” Cordy snapped. “Or


    suffer the consequences!”…Noel’s session ceremony hence ended with utter disgrace, and she


    was crying in her office.In fact, she was doing that ever since they left the conference room.“Dad, how


    is this different from robbery?! We’ve worked so hard to bring Starstream to where it is, and she’s just


    going to take it from us?! I can’t take it…”Simon was incensed too, and he snarled through his teeth,


    “I’m old, but not senile! A kid like her doesn’t hold a candle to me! If she wants Starstream so badly, I’ll


    teach her why people should be careful about what they wish for!”Noel finally stopped crying at that


    and smiled evilly.After all, she would take everything from Cordy—her family, her reputation, her love


    interest, and her money.And Cordy had never won against her, not once!…The CEO’s office on top of


    Levine Ventures’ headquarters had a perfect view of North City, with its ss wall taking up three sides


    of the room.The interior was monochrome, but the solemness did not lose in extravagance.Randy


    Martin was listing the day’s routine before adding, “The board chairman insisted on your presence at


    the executive meeting in half an hour.”“I see,” John Levine replied.This was his first day working here.


    He brought in Randy as an assistant from abroad, and he had instructed Randy to learn thepany’s


    operation structure a month ahead of time. “Have youpiled the dossiers on the executives?” he


    asked Randy just then.“I have,” Randy said, handing him the papers respectfully.While John read


    through it, Randy stood behind him.After some thinking, he said, “I heard that Ms. Cordy Sachs will


    take over Starstream Group today.”Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
