A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 208


    Chapter 208


    Cordy took her seat, neither cowed nor pompous as she spoke, “Thank you, Mr. Levine.”


    “I’m sure you understand why I’ve invited you to my humble abode-we’re all business people and time


    is money, so let me cut to the chase,” n said bluntly. “I would like you to leave my grandson.”


    “A rtionship only concerns the two individuals involved. I don’t believe it’s appropriate for you to


    meddle with your grandson’s affairs,” Cordy replied, equally bluntly.


    She was certainly not humbled or meek despite the pressure n was projecting.


    However, it was not as if she could not leave John-they were not so intimate that they could turn


    against family.


    And after n announced John’s engagement to Jessica in front of so many people, said engagement


    was set in stone.


    Cordy’s rtionship with John would in turn end unceremoniously.


    Even so, she would rather she could end things candidly with John instead of having others


    intervening.


    She had her own principles and dignity too.


    “I like your attitude, Ms. Sachs,” n suddenly said.


    As Cordy blinked, hemented, “I thought you’d be more afraid, but you certainly changed my


    opinion with your show ofposure.”


    Pausing for a moment, he then said, “I understand that you have a past, but I have also seen your


    more recent remarkable feats. After all, no in Jane would ever capture my grandson’s heart.”


    He stared at Cordy then, but she was returning his gaze, not at all under the impression she was


    epted despite what he said.


    “That being said, it’s not up to just anyone to be the wife of the Levines’ scion. More conditions


    must be met, such as an equally important family background,” n said directly. “In fact, you can pick


    any member of my family to be your spouse, barring John.”


    Cordy raised a brow. “Are there any such members in your family?”


    “Jay Parker,” n replied.


    “You don’t roll a dice to decide who you marry,” Cordy said sinctly.


    “All I’m saying is that it’s your birth-not your disposition-that makes you unfit to marry John,” n


    insisted. “And any rtionship without the family’s blessing would never be happy. I know you’re


    understanding enough not to push for something with so little returns.”


    Cordy pursed her lips.


    She finally knew who John took after-it was the old man before her, who was stubbornly domineering,


    allowing no resistance.


    “I won’t protest against breaking up with John,” she said then. “My past experiences have enlightened


    me about what it means for others to refuse to acknowledge me, and I won’t make the same mistake


    twice. However, you don’t get to decide on your own what happens between myself and John. I would


    like him to give me some sort of exnation too, so that I can leave him without any regrets-if I can


    have that much of your understanding.”


    n studied Cordy, who appeared determined.


    But that was just how she broke up with Kyle -a clean cut, with nothing left connecting them.

    However…


    “What if I refuse?” n said stubbornly.


    Cordy frowned.


    How much clearer did she have to put it for him?


    She was already saying that she would break up with John, but she just needed to clear the air


    with him.


    And even if it was just the first time they spoke, she did not consider n that unreasonable.


    Still, n told her loudly and clearly, “I don’t want you to break up amicably with him. I want you to


    leave him on your own ord.”


    Cordy scowled and said coolly, “Then there’s nothing more to discuss. We’re noting to an


    agreement, and I wouldn’t want to waste your time.”


    A sharp look shed in n’s eyes, but he asked, “Why don’t we talk terms?”


    Cordy pursed her lips as she watched him continue. “My first offer to you is this: you can have all the


    money you want. Just give me a number-as I understand it, you’ve been gathering considerable wealth


    working as a famous fashion designer abroad but one would neverin about having too much


    money.”


    “My second offer is Sachs Enterprises. Your mother was the one who founded it single-handedly, and


    the Sachs took it as if it belonged to them. I can give it to you immediately if you just say word.”


    the


    “The third is Jessop Corp. It survived solely thanks to your blood and sweat, but Kyle and his family


    showed no gratitude and instead tried to hurt you in every way. Your revenge is justified, but I can make


    them lose everything in an instant.”


    “Pick one.”
