A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 27
A Life Debt Repaid
Regardless, none of them would admit it.
âThank you,â Cordy flashed a tender smile at Richard before turning to Mandy. âPay up.â
Mandyâs cheeks were alternating in color Cordy had actually put it on! How?!
âA betâs a bet. What, going to renege on it already?â Cordy sneered Mandyâs teeth were gnashingâshe just had to make the bet in front of so many people.
She could not afford to humiliate herself by reneging!
âHow much for the gown?â she growled.
âItâs 1.3 million dollars, Ms. Jessop,â a store assistant replied.
âWhat?!â Mandy thought she was hearing things.
Most designer brands would cost a few hundred grand at most, but that gown cost 1.3 million?!
âThe dress was completely handmade in Franconia, and every part of the design was made to specific ations. The 500 diamonds encrusted on it were in turn sewn by hand by our best tailor,â the store assistant explained, while showing her the inv oice. âThe pricing was also charged according to official rates. Please take a look, Ms. Jessop.â
Mandyâs face was greenâshe would never have bought herself a dress so expensive, let alone buy it for Cordy for free!
Wheeling on Cordy, she demanded, âWhere did you get the money for such an expensive gown?!â
Cordy had expected the gown to be expensive, but not cost over a million dollars!
Still, she remained composed as she said. âThatâs my business. You just have to keep your promise to
pay for it, and Iâll pack it up and leave.â
Mandyâs eyes turned redânot even her bank account had that much money!
Even if she did earn a lot from showbiz and her family would always give her more, she never develope d the habit of saving up. In fact, she had a little over a hundred grand at best!
But she would rather die than admit that she could not afford something Cordy could.
âTake my card, Kyle suddenly said.
Mandy was left stunned, while Noel was clearly agitated. âKyle, thatâs not a small sumâ¦
âIâll just consider it damages for our breakup. Cordy, I hope you wonât harass Noel and my sister ever a gain,â Kyle said righteously.
Cordy simply sneered. âMandy lost that bet, but if you want to call it damages, why donât you pay for Di ckyâs tailcoat as well?â
âYouâre despicable!â Mandy snapped.
âIâm just learning from your ilk,â Cordy retorted.
âWhat?â Mandy was dumbstruck, unable to come up with anything.
Naturally, both Kyle and Noel were glowering as well.
Cordy simply ignored them, and turned to Richard with a gentle smile. âLetâs get changed now, Dicky.â
âOkayâ Richard nodded tamely Kyle had paid for everything by the time they changed out of their clothes, since he could not bring shame to his family!
âThank youâ¦â Cordy said as she carried her bag of astronomically expensive clothes, while deliberately adding Mandy was shaking with rage, glaring at Cordy as if she could murder her right then!
Not only did she not get any dress that she liked, but she was also bodyâ
shamed and lost over a million dollars for nothing!
But she would not take this ignominy lying down!
