A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 99
The conference room was bustling when they entered.Countless shutters started snapping once the journalist noticed Cordy's arrival, and the camera flashes were endless.Dressed in black business attire, Cordy appeared at once fashionable and professional, with her calm and collected appearance already giving a good impression.At the very least, she was not starting things off by crying to appeal to sympathy. Naturally, Noel was a stark contrast to that as she stood at Cordy's side, her eyes already red as if she was already given grief. Still, not many journalists took notice of Noel—they were all bombarding Cordy relentlessly with questions the instant she entered. "Ms. Sachs, have you called this press conference to confess to having multiple affairs as the articles yesterday had proven?""Don't you feel ashamed for having affairs with other men, Ms. Sachs? Was your two-timing the reason for your breakup?""Zoe York tweeted in support of you. What favors are you offering

The journalist was abruptly left embarrassed. It was certainly true—they were all asking questions endlessly, one after another from the start.Cordy had no chance to speak at all."If everyone is done, please stay quiet for a moment and listen to what I have to say," she continued with a neutral tone. "Once I'm done, I will answer any questions you have, with everything I know—if time permits."The conference room turned silent right then. Everyone was watching Cordy expectantly. If there was an elegant reversal to be had here, it deserved nothing less than exclusive headlines."I will admit that the photos which surfaced yesterday are 100% genuine and not fabricated," Cordy said then, her expression calm as ever.While there were audible snorts around the room, most of the journalists stayed silent and waited for Cordy to finish."I'm sure everyone is aware that I used to work at Jessop Corp's PR departments. Back when I first joined the company alongside Kyle Jessop, the

Noel's denial was suspiciously specific, and even she started to panic after she said it.The journalists were puzzled by her words as well.But since she was not the main character here, they did not pay her much attention, instead asking Cordy with anticipation, "Do you know who this person is, Ms. Sachs?""Who would frame you in secret?""Why would she do it? Because she could not bear to see you doing well?"Cordy was almost scarily calm in contrast to their eagerness, and she replied, "The person who is with Kyle now… No, the person who already hooked up with Kyle, even while he and I were in a relationship, is the person you're looking for."The journalists were even more excited right then. In other words, Cordy was saying that Kyle had cheated on her, instead of it being the other way around!What a dramatic turn of events!"Sis, you shouldn't lie in front of the press. I know you just want to distract them and get Starstream out of this crisis, but Kyle has always be

Noel was once again shouting to defend herself. "K-Kyle was just nice enough to teach me to swim!" And once again, no one cared. Then, the third photo was shown, where in a dimly lit karaoke lounge, a drunk Noel was leaning cozily against Kyle, whose hand was under her blouse for some reason."I was drunk. Kyle was such a gentleman, taking care of me…"At the same time, Noel's explanation grew feebler with every photo. Then, came the last photo.It was taken inside a luxurious dressing room on Cordy and Kyle's wedding day.Kyle was in his bridegroom tailcoat, pushing Noel up against his dressing table as they French kissed.Noel's face turned pale right then—her jaw hung ajar, but no words came out.Cordy glanced sideways at Noel, watching Noel as she appeared on wit's end, as if she would break down right then.The conference room was in an uproar as the lights returned. What a dramatic turn of events! To think that Cordy, who had been flamed to no end, had been inno

Meanwhile, the journalists' questions were still coming, each more contemptible than the last as they trampled all over Noel's dignity.She was still crying, unable to accept everything that was happening—that she had been so thoroughly destroyed.Eventually, she bit her lip and worked hard to calm herself, understanding very well that she would not get away without an answer today.Naturally, she was no pushover after years of experience.Cordy was dreaming if she wanted Noel down and out!Though Noel's eyes were flashing dangerously just then, there was a miserable puppy look on her face. "Kyle and I are in love."Cordy sneered. In the end, Noel admitted it. Still, Noel continued, saying, "We were hiding it from my sister because we didn't want her to be sad, and Kyle was even willing to sacrifice himself to marry her. If not for that fire, I would've quietly stepped aside for the sake of their marriage…""Quietly stepped aside?" One of the journalists scoffed. "More like yo

Cordy had no intention of letting Noel weasel her way out of her guilt—certainly not in front of the press."Cheaters and mistresses don't deserve forgiveness," she declared sonorously, enunciating every word.And it was certainly true.There was a reason behind anything, but not cheating!Noel bit her lip right then. Naturally, she knew that her appeal was not going to work with Cordy, so she let her eyes well with tears again and she sobbed. "I know you're still upset, sis. But I believe blood is thicker than water, and time will heal all wounds."'Blood is thicker than water?!'Hold on, that is kind of true. Blood could occasionally be filthier than water!'"Noel Sachs, how do you still have the cheek to talk like that?! Blood is thicker than water?! You don't want to hurt your sisterly bond?!" One of the journalists shouted right then, unable to stand the sheer hypocrisy. "Granted, even if it was as you have said—that right and wrong doesn't matter in love—you're the one w

Naturally, John had sent those recordings to Cordy without saying anything.He probably thought that he could let her take the initiative by giving her all the evidence he needed.She just had to show everything to completely destroy Kyle's reputation, and Kyle would just humiliate himself if he attempted to explain himself at all.And yet, despite all the respect John showed Cordy in this case, she still could not bring herself to trust anyone other than herself.Meanwhile, Noel's face turned deathly pale after listening to the recording.She used to think him handsome and incredible, only for him to turn out to be a bumbling fool, so careless in his work that even Cordy could catch him red-handed!This time, there was no way to explain this. If Kyle was not involved in the attempt to slander Cordy, why would he go out of his way to ask the media to harass Cordy?Whatever explanation they offered would be pointless. "What do you have to say now, Noel Sachs?!" a journalist d

John's lips were slightly pursed.Cordy was even tougher than he had imagined.But what did she have to go through to gain such perseverance? As his long fingers tapped on his phone screen for a while and finished drafting the message, he hesitated to send it.He more or less understood now why Cordy would keep him at arm's reach.After experiencing the sheer cruelty of her reality, she would never come to trust anyone easily.John's phone suddenly started ringing just then, and he answered it impatiently after glancing at the caller ID."Bob," he growled."Did you see the livestream of Cordy Sachs' press conference?!" Bob Davis exclaimed excitedly."I did.""Holy sh*t! That slap in the face was as clean as it was devastating! I actually think I'm in love now."John started to scowl right then, even as Bob continued happily. "By the way, are you hitting it off with her yet? We saw you stand up for her during your grandfather's birthday banquet, but it's like nothing has com
