A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1188

Cordy was actually confident.

Having built a partnership with Gareth Bryant, he naturally had to defer to her. As such, he was basically going through the motions when he showed up here.

To no surprise, Cordy retained the best spot in KPW Shopping Center, extending the contract for ten years this time.

That basically meant she did not have to worry about her flagship outlet in the immediate future.
