Chapter 577
A Life Debt Repaid
âCould you please keep it down?â
Before Jay could reply, someone behind Bob reprimanded Bob; clearly, their conversation was affecting the person watching the fashion show.
Bob bit his lip and restrained himself despite his frustration.
Jay said nothing in turn, and kept his eyes on the fashion show as if the mention of Zoe didnât faze him the slightest.
Up front, Cordy was still watching the fashion show seriously until a certain male model stepped up to the catwalk halfway through.
All eyes in the room seemed to lit up as they focused on his towering, handsome frame and his sharp gaze.
There were many international supermodels in attendance, yet that unfamiliar face stood out nevertheless.
Cordy seemed to hear gasps from all the ladies sitting around her, and the crowd seemed to have grown somewhat restless again.
Countless shutters flashed as everyone took photos of the male supermodel.
âHe does look good-even from a manâs perspective,â Patrick commented.
He usually had a high standard when it comes to menâs looks, since men usually preferred to look at women.
The male supermodel before them, however, was attractive enough to draw the gazes of both men and women. It was why there was a rule that most designers wouldnât get a model who was too attractive, since the crowd may ignore their designs in favor of the modelâs looks.
Only an internationally renowned designer like Maron would have the guts to pick such an attractive model.
Even Jayâs gaze changed ever so slightly as he stared at the male supermodel.
Casting was a force of habit as a film director, and Jay could tell that this male supermodel would enjoy a meteoric rise in showbiz.
After all, all anyone cared about was looks these days.
Even Bob, who needed some effort to calm down, couldnât help speaking out loud when he saw the man. âDonât you think he looks a little familiar?â
Jay frowned.
He had been merely judging the manâs market value, but after hearing that from Bob, the sense of familiarity hit him.
The supermodel looked just like Johnny.
Jay couldnât quite see the resemblance in facial features, but both simply felt alike.
The resemblance only became more obvious when the supermodel walked up to the edge of the catwalk and turned.
Meanwhile, Cordy felt her breath escape her lungs.
That had to be the person she saw on the backstageâ¦and she had thought she imagined it!
Though he looked completely different from John from the front, his side and back profile was identical to Johnâs.
Cordyâs body trembled, and she almost rose to her feet at that instant.
Sean promptly caught her before she could do so, and Patrick noticed his sharp intervention as well.
Sean told Cordy, slowly and sharply, âNo, itâs not him.â
Cordyâs vision was blurring, however-the more it did, the more she saw that the man walking further away resembled John from behind.
She recalled the moment of their parting as he turned around to leave with Jessicaâ¦
Cordyâs whole body was shaking even as she tried to restrain herself.
Maybe, just maybeâ¦
John was still alive?
They never found his body, after all. No matter how deep the sea went and how easily a single tide could wash anything away, the fact that John was never found made everything possible.
Maybe, just maybeâ¦
Maybe John was disfiguredâsince such a terrible explosion would definitely have hurt his face, he may have undergone reconstructive surgery More and more outlandish thoughts crossed Cordyâs mind, and her heart pounded violently the more she thought.
She feared that John would disappear from her life once more.
