Chapter 760
A Life Debt Repaid
âNana kept accusing me of seducing youâ¦â
âI didnât. I just, I just hope that the two of you can stay away from one another. Lucas, you also promised to keep your distance from her, but last nightâ¦l really find it difficult to accept, which is why I came looking for Cordy to thrash things out,â Nana said indignantly.
âLetâs put it this way: I am seducing you. All those accidental and planned meetings between us were all my doing. Last nightâs accident was also something I planned. Dicky asking to stay behind was also something Iâd deliberately told him to say.â Cordy decided to go all out and pretend to be the bad guy.
Why would she bother trying to be the good guy?
It was tough and never ended well for her.
Perhaps being thoroughly wicked was the way to go.
People would always tend to shun bad guys too.
Cordyâs words made Richard furrow his brows.
He did not really like hearing her say that of herself, but he knew that it was rude for children to interrupt when adults were talking.
He bit his lip and kept silent.
âNana exposed me just now and I pushed her down in a fit of anger,â Cordy said frankly. âNow, I no longer want to put on an act. I fancy Lucas, and all I want to do is to snatch him away from Nanaâ¦â
âStop it, Cordy.â Lucas cut her off.
Cordy shrugged. She looked at Lucas and said in all seriousness, âNow that everythingâs out in the open, Iâd like to ask you one question, Lucas. Are you going to break up with Nana and be with me, or are you going to turn me down?â
Nanaâs body stiffened.
She probably did not expect Cordy to be so aggressive.
How could she be so bold as to show her cards?
This woman⦠was not to be trifled with.
With eyes filled with tears, Nana looked deeply at Lucas, who did not respond for a long time.
âLucas?â Nana called out to him, unable to bear the silence any longer.
Lucas swallowed past his constricted throat and said frankly, âStop spouting nonsense, Cordy. I know you have no feelings for me.â
Although he often said that Cordy had feelings for him, he knew clearly that Cordy felt nothing for him.
In fact, he might even say that she detested him.
Therefore, he was very clear that Cordy did not do anything to Nana today.
Cordy had no reason to push Nana.
Nana heard Lucasâ response and displeasure filled her heart.
Even though his tone was firm and he did not look like he was lying, Nana could tell that Lucas did not directly answer Cordyâs question.
He merely stated that Cordy did not like him.
What about him?
Did he like Cordy?!
Viciousness flashed past the depths of Nanaâs eyes.
âYou know that, but Nana refuses to believe that,â Cordy said with a forced smile.
Nana said weakly, âIâm sorry, Cordy. I just find you so beautiful, and no man would be able to resist your beauty. I was just⦠I was just jealous of youâ¦â
âI donât want to know and I donât care about what you really think. But donât provoke me, Nana Lynd. If really provoked, Iâm certainly capable of things that you might regret for life.â
With that, Cordy left with Richard by her side.
This time round, Nana did not stop Cordy from leaving even though she was greatly displeased with what Cordy said.
She turned around to look at Lucas, and she saw how Lucasâ eyes were fixed on Cordyâs retreating figure.
A look of viciousness glinted in her eyes once more.
