A Life Debt Repaid

Sue and Noel were watching Plum abuse Cordy with irrepressible delight.

Noel’s gloom was also slightly relieved in turn–so what if Cordy won that press conference? Plum was now tearing her a new one!

Nonetheless, Cordy spoke with calm apathy. “Everyone knows how the Sachs gained their success. Naturally, I won’t argue with you, because I’d be preaching to deaf ears, discussing such advanced stuff to a housewife who knows nothing about the world. I’d just be wasting my breath.”

The contempt in her tone left Plum’s eyes turning red and she raised her hand again, intending on slapping Cordy again.

This time, however, Cordy caught her hand.

In the end, no one was obliged to keep being beaten up.

One slap was enough for Cordy to give Plum a lesson to remember.

“Let me go, Cordy Sachs! You b*tch!” Plum spat angrily. “You’re not setting foot in my house ever again–there’s no place for a b*tch like you! You are a disgrace to our family’s good name!”

Cordy firmly flung Plum’s hand away in response and told her icily, “I’d never put a single foot in your house, but I’ll take everything you have that rightfully belongs to me.”

“You, take from me?! What gives you the right?! Your insolence really knows no bounds!” Plum screamed.
