Chapter 1206

In the past, Cordy would not have hesitated to tell John.

However, considering that Richard told her that John was going to propose to Wendy, she could guess how much John loved Wendy.

Could John really take the blow if she exposed Wendy’s true nature?

Most importantly, Wendy promised to change.

As Cordy remained silent for a while, Wendy quickly said, “Look, Cordy, I’ll go straight home right now.

No more nightclubs, okay? Just don’t tell John, I’m begging you…”

Cordy gave in then. “This can only happen once.”

“Oh! Thank you, Cordy! I’ll go home right now!” Wendy’s misery turned into a smile right then. “See you!”

Cordy watched as Wendy hurried away and sighed heavily, wondering how John fell for her…

Nonetheless, she returned to the private room after going to the washroom, where Zoe was still drinking with Quinn.

And once Cordy made it back, they promptly dragged her along and made her drink.

After a while, Zoe asked a little unhappily, “Why do you look so distracted, Cordy?”

Cordy did a double take—was she being that obvious?

“Something on your mind?”

“No, I just think it’s late. We should get going already.”

“It’s not even midnight.”

“No, we can always do this again. Jay isn’t going to let you out of the house if you really get drunk.”

Cordy smiled, using Jay as a threat.

Zoe pouted but did not argue despite her displeasure.

On the other hand, Quinn was always rational.

Since Cordy mentioned they were leaving, she promptly gathered herself despite being drunk.

The trio stepped out of the bar and got into the same car home.

Cordy’s mansion was further away, so she sent Zoe and Quinn home first.

And when she was left alone in the car, she could no longer hide her pent-up emotions.

She whipped out her phone, her finger hovering over a certain number for a while before she finally mustered her courage to make a call.

She was clearly on the side of justice, but she somehow felt guilt instead.

“Cordy?”

John’s surprised voice could be heard from the speaker.

He was probably shocked that she would call her this late at night… or at all, to be precise.

“Yeah. Were you sleeping?”

“I just got in bed. What is it?”

“Well… I just wanted to ask you if Wendy is over there?” Cordy asked.

She just wanted to confirm if Wendy actually came good on her promise.

“No, she said her father was taken ill, so she’s staying home with him for the night,” John replied. “You have business with her? I could call her for you and tell her to call you back.”

“No, it’s nothing,” Cordy growled grumpily.

Wendy was really incorrigible—she had just promised to change one second but fell back to her old habits the next!

John was puzzled nonetheless. “Is everything okay?”

“Yeah. Just tell her to call me when you see her tomorrow. I have questions,” Cordy growled through her teeth.
