A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 135


    Chapter 135


    The next day, Cordy woke up to find a text from John.


    (Good morning, dear.]


    She pursed her lips, not even noticing herself that her lips were curling upward in a smile as she


    read the text.


    Still, she got changed, put on her makeup, and went to work as usual… But when she arrived outside


    her office, she found Simon, Plum, and Sue there, waiting for her.


    “Oh, you’re here, Cordy.” Sue even greeted her warmly.


    Cordy simply nced at them sideways, obviously aware of what they wanted to do.


    She simply strode into her own office and took a seat at the desk, while they entered.


    “Cordy,” Simon began, his attitude passable. “Your grandmother came to apologize to you.”


    When he finished, he quickly shot a look at Plum–who was still upset she had to humble herself and


    apologize to Cordy.


    However, she had to bear with it as she knew that it meant prison otherwise, not to mention that she


    had all she needed to torment Cordy!


    She just had to resolve the issue at hand for now…


    Taking a moment to calm herself, Plum walked up to Cordy, appearing kindly as she reached out to


    take Cordy’s hand–only to be rejected by Cordy right away.


    Left hanging, Plum quickly regainedposure nheless and said, “Cordy, I made a mistake the


    other day. I was just so upset, I lost control and hit you… I heard your ear was hurt, so I brought you


    some fruits and supplements to help with your recovery,”


    As she spoke, she hurriedly put the boxes of gifts on Cordy’s desk, but Cordy only spared it a nce


    and did not seem to care much in particr.


    Plum started to show signs of indignation, but she restrained herself again as her son shot her a

    look.


    “Cordy, I understand that I was at fault, so please don’t make things harder for me. You wouldn’t want


    to go down on my knees to beg, right?” She said, “We’re family. You can’t really bear to see me going


    to prison when I’m so old, right?”


    Cordy, however, knew all too well what the Sachs wanted–all they were afraid of was causing too huge


    a mess, affecting their own reputation.


    And after Plum apologized, they woulde at Cordy with their worst yet.


    However, Cordypromised. “Of course I can’t bear to see that…”


    After all, the Sachs were not worth her ruining her own reputation–no matter what happened, she


    would cause controversy for the public if she brought Plum to court.


    “But do you really think an apology would do?” Cordy then finished.

    Plum certainly knew that Cordy would not be that agreeable, but she restrained herself once more.


    Anything could wait until after they swindled Cordy.


    “Well, what do I have to do for you to forgive me? Would you like to p me instead?”


    Plum actually appeared sincere about that.


    Cordy simply smiled–if she dared to hit Plum, herwsuit against Plum would be moot, while the Sachs


    could use that as an excuse to destroy her!


    “Well, I wouldn’t dare,” Cordy said bluntly.


    Beside them, Sue was actually disappointed–she had brought a hidden camera, and if Cordy


    really did hit Plum, she would destroy Cordy’s reputation with that evidence!


    “Well, what would you like me to do?” Plum asked with a mild look.
