A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 71

Keeping his temper in check, Simon asked, “What do I have to do for you to accept a private settlement?”

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.

“But I have several conditions.”

“What conditions?”

“Firstly, the culprit must cover for all of John’s medical expenses, including the fee for his medication, his hospital stay, his rehabilitation, along with damages for mental trauma. They left him hospitalized, after all.”

Simon’s face turned ashen right then.

The scion of the Levines would naturally stay at the best hospital and be given the absolute best care. That was going to cost a lot, and since the culprit was not going to afford it, it meant Simon himself was paying for it.
