A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 406

But no matter how impactful it had been to the eyes of the men present, she dimmed in comparison when Cordy walked onstage.

If one were to describe her beauty, one could simply say that no one would be able to take their eyes off her wherever she went.

Likewise, no one who stood at her side would match her beauty.

It wasn’t just Noel who dulled in comparison either—even Jessica, in her elegant gown, seemed a little less stunning.

Cordy certainly could take the wind out of every woman’s sails.

At the same time, Noel’s smile faded as soon as Cordy went on stage.

Why did Cordy have to be everywhere?!

Why does Cordy have to steal Noel’s thunder all the time?!

Noel could clearly see the stares focused on herself before had turned towards Cordy at once, who instantly became the focus of the entire ballroom.

Even as Noel repressed her rage, Jessica said, “It seems tonight is really going to be a great night. I called out two numbers at random, and I got two of my best friends.

Most importantly, they’re sisters! I surprised myself too!” She was certainly smooth, alright.

The ballroom was rather silent after Jessica had spoken, with no one raising their paddle.

Noel had at first been upset since Cordy’s speech left her humiliated, but seeing this felt cathartic.

It was Cordy’s own fault for playing up her virtue-it would be far more humiliating as a woman if no one made a bid for you!

Naturally, as Noel was sneering inwardly, Jessica also felt delighted.

After all, she sent instructions beforehand that no one was to bid for Cordy, just to humiliate Cordy.

Thus, Jessica was actually surprised that Cordy seemed to have read her mind and gave such a grandiose speech beforehand, so that Cordy wouldn’t look so bad even if no one auctioned for her in the end.

Be that as it may, Cordy would still be humiliated regardless —and even more so once word of this gets out.

“Is no one bidding?” Jessica exclaimed in surprise, appearing caught in disbelief.

On the other hand, Cordy remained composed-as she had been from the start.

It was as if even the world would end, she would still take it in stride.

“Well, since there’s no bidders, let’s not affect the upcoming auctions…” Jessica said, turning towards Cordy with an apologetic, awkward look. “Sorry, Cordy. Could you please leave the stage?”

Cordy nodded, as calm as she had been as she came onstage.

But just as she lifted her skirt to leave…

“500 grand!”
