A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 44

Mandy froze, well and truly stunned by John’s intimidating demeanor.

However, she threw all caution in the wind and started screaming the next instant.

“John Levine, do you think Cordy Sachs is some sort of treasure? You’ve just returned to the country, so you wouldn’t know of her debauchery-but she already started sleeping around at eighteen, and even had a child! She even refused to break up with my brother, and shamelessly latched her fingers on you! Don’t fall for her trap!”

“That’s Cordy Sachs? Amazing. She actually managed to hook up with Mr. Levine so quickly!”

“Didn’t someone say her gown was worth a billion dollars? She really spared no expense to seduce a man.” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Didn’t his son call her mommy? Did she bewitch the boy too?”

“She really is a succubus…”

Mandy smiled smugly even as everyone mocked Cordy-she was bent on humiliating Cordy, so that John would understand what Cordy was really like!

She would never believe that John could accept Cordy after knowing all that, just as she would never allow Cordy to have him!

However, John said coldly and with a threatening tone, “She was set up when she was eighteen, and circumstances forced her to deliver that child. It’s her misfortune-not her fault. And she deserves sympathy and comfort for her tragic past, not malicious slander and contempt!”

“No!” Mandy cried out in agitation. “Don’t be tricked! She’s a loose woman-”

John cut her short right then, and declared every word sonorously, “From this day forth, anyone. who speaks against Cordy Sachs will be my enemy! And I can assure everyone that I, John Levine,

never ever show mercy!”

All the gossipers around them gasped and turned silent, genuinely afraid that John would go

them.

“As for what’s between Cordy and Kyle Jessop…” John said, raising a brow at the Jessops. “Do I have to spell it out for you?!”

Startled for a moment, Dandy promptly gathered himself and said, “I’m sorry! I failed to discipline my daughter and she’s caused you offense! I’ll take her home right now. Please forgive us, we’ll go

now!”

With that, he gruffly dragged Mandy out of the hall-they really had no dignity to speak of now!

“Wait,” John called out.

Dandy promptly stopped fearfully and turned toward John.

“My son just said that she ruined Cordy’s clothes.”

“Oh, of course. I’ll pay for it. How much is it? I’ll pay…” Dandy quickly said.

“Dad! Kyle was the one who bought it for her!” Mandy cried out, once again agitated-they did not owe Cordy! Why did they have to pay her again and again?!

Nonetheless, Dandy barked furiously at her, “Shut up!”

He felt like he could kill her right then.

“The money is just a part of it.”

“May I ask what you mean, sir…?” Dandy asked, unsure what John was getting at.

“Shouldn’t she apologize for her mistake?” John said frankly.

Dandy promptly growled at Mandy, “Apologize to Cordy right now!”

“No, I won’t!” Mandy cried.

How prideful was she?

Having always behaved like she was above the rest, she would rather die than bow her head to Cordy now!

“Are you refusing to listen now, Mandy?!” Dandy snarled threateningly.

“But didn’t you say that John liked me?!” Mandy blurted.

She regretted it so much now… if she knew that John was that gorgeous, she would have said yes!

Before Dandy could speak, however, John clarified, “I am not interested in Ms. Jessop.

And once he spoke, whispers of contempt could immediately be heard around them.

It was only natural that Mandy had been boasting in high society about John admiring her as much as she could.

But now that she was given a slap in the face by the man himself, all that she was left with was unending shame!

Meanwhile, John was clearly running out of patience. “Still not going to apologize?!”

Mandy pursed her lips as she turned toward Cordy, who retained her elegant civility.

However, there was a faint smile on Cordy’s face even as she watched Mandy. She was obviously mocking her!
