Chapter 814
A Life Debt Repaid
Finally noticing Cora, Bob exclaimed, âWhat are you doing here, Cora? Burp-â
He suddenly breathed a large belch.
Cora never liked alcohol.
She used to take part in social dinners when she was an extra, but she did not have to once she became the heiress of the Levines, just as no one ever forced him to drink.
She in turn developed a distaste for alcohol and was naturally a little annoyed now.
âYou know I hate alcohol, Bob. Why would you drink so much?â she asked a little angrily.
Bob was beaming nonetheless. âItâs a rare occasion. Iâll cut it down next time. Burp-â
âCome on.â Cora pulled his arm, intent on taking him away.
âBut Iâm not done drinking.â Bob refused to leave, even determined to drink more. âIâm beating Zoe tonight, or Iâm staying forever!â
Cora refused to waste her breath with him and kept trying to pull him along, but he was not budding at all.
He was resolved to get drunk with Zoe, was he?!
Cora wheeled on Zoe right then, whose gaze looked unfocusedâshe must have drank a lot too.
âZoe York,â she said sternly. âI hope you wonât drink with Bob anymore. He always gets sick afterward.â
âYou tell him that. Itâs his freedom who he wants to get drunk with-whatâs the point of telling me?â Zoe snorted.
She really did not want to ruin things for Bob and Cora, and she sincerely hoped that Bob would be happy.
And yet, she could not stand Coraâs Even if she would regret this to no end tomorrow, that was something to worry for tomorrow!
On the other hand, Cora was left stumped by Zoeâs retort.
She never spoke much with Zoe, let alone getting so confrontational against her.
Moreover, she could see that Zoe had restrained her fiery temper Actors on Set and actually looked a little too submissive.
But this was how Zoe talked to her?! So that was all just a pretense, was it? Pretending to be downtrodden, so that Jay and Bob would feel sympathetic toward her?!
Cora knew that Zoe never got over being chased out of the Levine familyâhow could she? It was only natural that anyone would want a piece of the Levinesâ vast family fortune.
So, Zoe was now seducing Jay just to make her return, was it?!
What a cunning plan! She really was not as simple as she looked!
âPretend I never said anything,â Cora said then, having no intention to argue.
After all, she considered Zoe beneath her now, and she had no reason to lose face because of Zoe. i Instead, she turned toward Bob and said, âLetâs go, Bob, or Iâm going to get upset.â
Bob stiffened when Zoe suddenly said, âItâs late. I should be going too.â
âYouâre stopping?â Bob exclaimed in agitation.
Beside Bob, Coraâs face fell-was Bob that eager to please Zoe too?!
âI was puking my guts out, yâknow.â Zoe snorted grumpily.
âSo youâre admitting you lost tonight?â Bob said smugly.
âYouâre such a kid.â
Zoe rolled her eyes and tugged at Quinn.
She had passed out from drinking, and sensing someone tugging at her, murmured, âIs it over, Sam?â
Sam?!
Sam was smoking a cigarette nearby, and his fingers clearly twitched just then.
