A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 495
A Life Debt Repaid
shall repay you the favor!â
âYou better donât,â Johnâs expressions turned cold.
âYou forced me into this!â Jessica shrieked.
âYouâd better watch yourself if you want your family to survive,â John threatened.
Jessica laughed. âWhat if I say no?â
âThen youâd suffer more than you did now.â
âAnd who would make me suffer? You?!â Jessica scoffed. âYour worst choice ever was not marrying me, John Levine! Youâre nothing without my familyâs protection, and the ones you want to protect would suffer too!â
âYou better think about what youâre going to do!â John glowered.
Jessica stared at him.
He had only been indifferent towards her, yet he would turn against her over Cordy Sachs?!
âYou will regret this!â Jessica laughed savagely, wiped her tears, and stormed outside.
John watched coldly as she left, his knuckles clenching.
Cordy received a call from Alan on the way back to her apartment.
âCordy Sachs,â his stern voice spoke from the other end.
âMr. Levine,â Cordy replied politely.
âPlease come to my manor. Iâll be waiting.â
Cordyâs fingers clenched on her steering wheel-the memory of Alan whisking her off to Levine Manor before was still fresh in her memory.
âOkay,â she agreed to it nonetheless.
The only reason she did was to get Dicky and take him away.
Moreover, after John had done so much for his sake, Alan would at least show John some due respect and refrain from hurting her.
It was all now water under the bridge, and they just had to go along as things developed.Cordy had trouble asking to take Dicky away, even if John already arranged for it.
Deciding to come to a compromise, she asked, âCan I visit him often, like I did before?â
Alan didnât have anyone else around him now.
His son and daughter-in-law died years ago, Jayâs fate was still unknown after his accident, while John was now arrested pending trial. Only his daughter Nancy and Nancyâs daughter Cora were still at his side after Nancy secretly divorced Ivan York, who had long since left Levine Manor.
To think a big family like the Levines, who once embodied splendor and nobility, would suddenly be in piecesâ¦
Alan had heard Cordy, but he didnât answer for a long while, leaving Cordy a little bitter and crestfallen.
She certainly didnât have the ability to take Dicky away, just as her conscience and morals stopped her from doing so.
That being said, Dicky was her son, and she couldnât pretend that he didnât exist or stay away from him for too long.
