A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 496


    Chapter 496


    Suddenly, n said, “Take him with you.”


    Cordy did a double take, thinking she had misheard.


    She looked up at n, and saw a glimmer in his eyes-the glimmer ofpromising


    with what life brought.


    Even if he was already seventy and confined to a wheelchair, he remained healthy


    and spirited, just as he was elegant and imposing. She didn’t think that the day would


    down, his spirit would always remain staunch.


    “Dicky will live with you from now on,” n repeated.


    “What about you?’ Cordy did not say no-because she could not.


    Moreover, if n made that choice, he must have given it due consideration.


    “I’ve lived long enough, and it’s time I let go,’ he said somberly. “I once desired and


    demanded too much, and my family had flourished as I foresaw it would…but nothing


    good came out of years of autocratic leadership. Maybe I was mistaken from the


    start.”


    There was no doubt about it.


    For a great man to say something like that, he had well and truly sumbed to fate.


    Even as n continued, his eyes seemed to well with tears. “I was the one who sent


    John’s parents abroad for a business discussion, and they’d neve have died in that


    ident if not for me. I was the one who stubbornly denied Jay a rtionship with


    Zoe, which was why he had that ident. If only I could set aside pride and prejudice


    to let Zoe stay with us, Jay would’ve been content with staying in the manor. So much


    tragedy could have been avoided.’ i


    “Jay’s situation had nothing to do with you…” Cordy tried to assure him.


    n simply shook his head, iming responsibility for all sins.

    “And now, there’s John. If I didn’t stubbornly force him to marry Jessica Stuart and


    supported him instead, he wouldn’t have to resort to such radical efforts to have his


    engagement annulled.’


    Cordy didn’t know what to say, because n was well and truly being crushed under


    the pressure of life. He aged decades in a split second.


    “I’ll travel abroad and stay with Jay while he’s being treated. That leaves


    Nancy and Cora, so I’d be leaving most of Levine Ventures’ affairs in Nancy’s hands.


    She might not be able to manage, however, since her focus had never been in


    business…”


    n sounded indifferent, as if he suddenly did not care about an enterprise as grand


    as Levine Ventures, while appearing more open- minded now. ‘And if Nancy could not


    keep things going, I’ll liquidate Levine Ventures. No more fame or glory—we’ll be


    mortals once again, and there just might be less tragedy.”


    When onecked ambition, wealth, fame and influence were a lot less important.
