A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 483

Jessica’s face dropped immediately after she took the phone and saw the photos on it.

No matter how good she was at covering up her feelings, there was no question that she was incensed.

“What is this?!” she demanded.

Cordy just said she had cut all ties with John Levine, yet now, she was showing Jessica a photo of herself in bed with him?!

Was it to brag?

Or to rub it in Jessica’s face?!

Those thoughts only infuriated Jessica further.

After all,her engagement and wedding date had been announced for a while, but there was still no spark between her and John at all—they didn’t even hold hands!

“Did you really think I won’t kill you, Cordy?!” Jessica growled through her teeth.

Cordy ignored her and said, “I’m showing this not to prove how intimate John and I were, or to brag about it. This is just to tell you that I can make this public if you push me too far.”

Jessica’s gaze turned cool as she studied Cordy.

“To put it bluntly, if you lay a finger on the one who matters most to me, I’ll take you down with me even if I die trying,” Cordy continued. “Everyone will find out about my and John’s illicit relationship. I’m convinced your family will never be able to bear the shame.”

Jessica’s eyes flared with rage.

So Cordy came to threaten her-to return the favor when she threatened Cordy with Dicky.

“I’m alone, anyway. Even if my career developed this far, it’s nothing to the Levines or your family. It’s nothing if I lose a little, since this won’t be my first time. On the other hand, if you lose John…the loss would be immeasurable, no?”

“You’re much smarter than I gave you credit for, aren’t you?” Jessica glared at Cordy in contempt. “But I wonder, what would John think if he finds out that you’ve deceived him even after he willingly laid down his life just to save you? Would he still believe that it’s worth it?”

“Certainly not, which is why I made it very clear that I’ve cut ties with him,” Cordy replied, looking Jessica straight in the eye. “I used him like a tool exactly because I have no intention of making up with him.”

Yes.

Everything Cordy said yesterday…about coincidence, adult impulses, and repaying debts; those were all blatant lies.

It was all part of an elaborate plan-ever since Jessica threatened Cordy with Dicky, she was already planning how to make Jessica completely give up on trying to harass her.

Cordy had no way of controlling Jessica, given her family’s unparalleled wealth and influence. She needed leverage; however, finding one was virtually impossible in such a short time.
