A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 392

Throughout the entire month, Cordy never met John, or received his call or text.

Naturally, she was expecting none of that either.

She had actually been busy as the Startstream High Fashion made a relatively easy

venture into the market and drew plenty of attention. Their sales were rising by the

catching up and even surpassing many other elite enterprises of North City. Naturally,

they still had a long way from the top since those were legacies forged over multiple

generations.

touted her as the finest dark horse over the last decade.

However, she also knew all too well that the widespread acclaim was nothing good.

even had a suspicion of a certain someone deliberately dragging her to the spotlight.

Naturally, she had to play along since she had no control over the situation —she had

an obligation towards herself and her partners now.
