A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 103
A Life Debt Repaid
Meanwhile, the journalistsâ questions were still coming, each more contemptible than the last as they trampled all over Noelâs dignity.
She was still crying, unable to accept everything that was happeningâthat she had been so thoroughly destroyed.
Eventually, she bit her lip and worked hard to calm herself, understanding very well that she would not get away without an answer today.
Naturally, she was no pushover after years of experience.
Cordy was dreaming if she wanted Noel down and out!
Though Noelâs eyes were flashing dangerously just then, there was a miserable puppy look on her face. âKyle and I are in love.â
Cordy sneered in the end, Noel admitted it.
Still, Noel continued, saying, âWe were hiding it from my sister because we didnât want her to be sad, and Kyle was even willing to sacrifice himself to marry her. If not for that fire, I wouldâve quietly stepped aside for the sake of their marriageâ¦â
âQuietly stepped aside?â One of the journalists scoffed. âMore like youâd keep cheating on your own sister with your brotherâinâlaw!â
Though that jibe stung, Noel vehemently protested. âNo, I wouldnât have stayed in between them if they were marriedâI wasnât raised that way.â
âNoel, if memory serves me right, your mother was just a glorified mistress!â The same journalist scoffed again. âI donât know you well enough to say anything about how you were raised, but I guess itâs in the genes.â
âIâ¦â The journalistâs snide remarks left Noel in tears againâshe did not expect them to be so contemptible!
Did Kyle not bribe them beforehand? Why was no one defending her or trying to change the subject?!
Noelâs heart was aflame with sheer spiteâwhat did she ever see in Kyle?! He was simply useless!
Nearby, Cordy could not stop herself from laughing.
Get too greedy, and anyone would lose even what they have before.
It was certainly the case for Kyle and Noel now.
Naturally, Cordy had called for the press conference to humiliate Noel.
After all, professionals are professional in what they doâand journalists are unparalleled when it comes to their ability in fencing.
âWhether you would believe me, I would have stepped aside if Kyle and my sister got married,â Noel continued to argue feebly. âIâve always been hurting when Iâm with Kyle, because I feel guilty toward my sister⦠But thereâs just no stopping yourself at times, and right or wrong doesnât matter in love! Back then, Kyle only got together with my sister because they were just two lonely souls in a foreign land, and there was no love at all⦠But because my sister did so much for Kyle, he felt like he owed her, which is why he never asked to break up with her.â
Sobbing, she continued miserably, âI know the public wonât sympathize with my relationship with Kyle, and I donât ask for everyoneâs forgiveness. Iâd even take all the criticism without question- no, Iâm relieved that my sister exposed my affair with Kyle in public! Iâve always felt guilty toward her, and Iâve never really fully appreciated my time with Kyle. Itâs always been so gloomyâ¦â
Cordy was actually impressed that Noel could still weasel her way after all that.
Noelâs ability was certainly unquestionable.
However, Cordy simply kept watching Noelâs performance as if she was watching a comedy.
That was when Noel turned to Cordy with an earned look. âSis, I wonât blame you for humiliating me like this, and I actually thank you for giving me relief this way. I hope you could understand- Kyle and I just couldnât stop ourselves, and I just really donât want to hurt our sisterly bond. I hope you will forgive usâ¦â
Cordy smiled faintly before speaking with a neutral voice. âNo.â
