A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 71

Cordy sneered. “Why are you so eager to settle it privately? I’d be half-dead if John Levine didn’t take that blow for me.”

“I know you suffered, but I’m doing this for Starstream Group,” Simon said, his tone turning soft gradually. “It’s going to affect the company negatively if this gets out, and we’re still family, right? I naturally feel sentiment for Starstream after working there for so many years-I don’t want our scores of employees to get hurt over this.”

Cordy sneered again-despite Simon’s pretty words, he was just afraid that they would connect the incident to him.

Still, she relented. “Well, since you’ve put it that way, it’s not as if I can’t settle it privately.”

“Really?” Simon was clearly thrilled.
