A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 298

Cordy quickly turned towards Vince and said quietly, "I'll be going with the prosecutors, so you're taking over the rest.The invitation to tender is definitely going to be called off, but keep dragging it out until I can return and clean up this mess."

"Yes, ma'am," Vinc replied quickly, but he could hardly hide his apprehension.He was genuinely impressed that she could remain composed even at a time like this.

With those simple instructions, Cordy left with the prosecutors.

Nonetheless, news of Cordy's arrest soon spread all over North City, leaving everyone in shock.She certainly had been making a lot of headlines lately; whenever one headline was cooling off, she would get another headline which was somehow more sensational.

When she called him again, he already sensed something was wrong.

Zoe had always feared him, and would never insist on bothering him when she knew he was busy.
