A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 185
Cordy had no idea what time it was when she woke up, only that she felt limp and muddled.The room she was in was pitch-black and completely unfamiliar. She could not even remember how she got here or how she got into this bed…Bed?!Cordy promptly pulled off her blanket to check her clothes and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her clothes hugging her body neatly and tidily. However, she suddenly became nervous just as she was about to relax—she was not wearing this when she got here!Who helped her change? Could it be John?!Cordy also lifted her pajamas to check… and her bra was gone!Her face went crimson right then—how could she sleep so soundly?!Did she not always wake up from the slightest movement?How could she let down her guard around John when he was such a dangerous man?"Could you be imagining some dramatic events in your head, Ms. Sachs?" An attractive man's voice spoke beside her ears just then.Startled, Cordy quickly turned and saw the man leaning no

The ocean was right outside the window, and its waves were splashing over it. If Cordy's hunch was right, the building they were staying in was built right above the ocean.After she and John took their seats, gourmet dishes were served one after the other. They were also each given a glass of bright red wine, and the sight of all the expensive food definitely made Cordy hungry."Eat," John said mildly.Cordy certainly did not hold back, and she picked up her fork to start eating.Perhaps famished, they both kept their heads down and ate for over half an hour until they felt a little full. Cordy then asked, "How long will we be staying here?"John responded with another question. "How many days would you like to spend here, Ms. Sachs?" "Would anything I say mean a thing?" Cordy grumbled.John could not help chuckling and commented, "You're getting smarter, Ms. Sachs."Cordy was left speechless while he said, "Probably a week."Probably?Cordy frowned. "What if you can'

After finishing the call, Zoe quietly lowered her phone.She never told Cordy a thing, and she knew that John never gossiped… or to be precise, John was too busy to gossip about Zoe's private life, not when he still had trouble winning Cordy's heart.In other words, Cordy was just that sharp and noticed a lot about Zoe.Cordy also decided against speaking up just now because Zoe did not mention it despite knowing full well what Cordy was concerned about. But since Zoe chose silence, Cordy did the same as well.Zoe was genuinely lucky that she had a friend as thoughtful as Cordy.On the other hand, Noel and Mandy had always advertised themselves as inseparable best friends and spent who knew how much on buying scripts to emphasize it on Solo Show. But despite becoming the envy of countless people, it turned out that it was single-sided for Mandy, even getting a slap in the face for it in the end!Zoe believed that she was a lucky person who had everything going for her, save for h

Zoe still did not understand. "So what?""So you're not suitable for said scene," Jay replied."How so?" Zoe scoffed. "Is my figure lacking, perhaps? So much so that I don't have your attention, director?"Jay glowered right then.He never got angered easily, but he just had a high standard for filming. He would not keep a scene if he were unhappy about it, but he rarely threw a fit because of that unless he really could not take it.But the air around him at the moment was frighteningly chilling. No one on set dared to make a sound as the atmosphere suddenly seemed to become suffocating."Zoe…" Penny tugged at Zoe's sleeve lightly.She was certainly concerned that they would really come to blows.Whatever the case may be, they could not afford to provoke Jay since he was both a famous director and a member of the Levine family.And with that, Zoe gritted her teeth and kicked a chair nearby, knocking it over very loudly.Everyone was left stunned and watched as Zoe turned to

John replied, "They're both family."Cordy frowned—how brotherly was he toward Jay, really?!She could not help feeling bad for Zoe just then, who clearly loved John to bits.Despite the occasional bickering, Zoe would never allow anyone to badmouth John, and there was obvious blind worship whenever she spoke of John. And anything John asked, she would always do it obediently—no matter how much reluctant she was.And yet, considering how rocky Zoe's relationship with Jay was…Both men really didn't deserve Zoe's affection! They were just not worth it!Still, Cordy stayed quiet despite her mood and checked the news on her phone instead. There would probably be a lot of articles about her in these couple of days, and it was reasonable that she should check things out. While most of the headlines were showering her with praise, the media was sticking to their favorite habit of publishing one abusive article for each praiseful article. As such, aside from the articles praising

John grinned as Cordy turned away from him.She was really refusing him utterly!At the same time, Cordy continued to browse the news articles nonchalantly as she asked, "Why did you hide your face when you came?" "I thought I had no right," John replied. No right?As Cordy looked up at him, he explained, "One of your conditions for dating me, Ms. Sachs, is that we do not go public about our relationship."Cordy pursed her lips—she definitely did not say that, just as she was reluctant now.In fact, she was not that confident about dating John, and yet…Perhaps she was starting to feel a spark, or she was just reluctant to reject John's kindness. Nevertheless, she genuinely had a hard time trusting everyone else after her relationship with Kyle and having grown up abused by the Sachs.Going public with their relationship would only add to her troubles—aside from worrying that things would end poorly between them, she had to worry about the inconveniences that John's status

John was as surprised, though Cordy must admit that she was too."I don't know why she asked me to do that. Maybe it's because she was worried I'll attract too much attention and draw problems to myself. However…"Cordy paused, working hard to remember her mother's appearance before she continued, "However, my mother wasn't the type who took things lying down. That's why I don't know why she asked that of me, and it's a shame that she's no longer around and I'll never have answers. Even so, she was the only one in this world I trust and who genuinely cared about me. That's why I'll always keep her words in my heart."John was silent, and Cordy thought he was probably wondering why her mother would ask that of her. Why hide when Cordy was one of the best fashion designers out there?"If Mandy didn't try to frame me, I would have kept hiding my identity as Lovely," Cordy then murmured, ultimately slightly disappointed that she could not fulfill her late mother's wish.John could n

Innocence?! John?!What innocence did he have when his son was already five?!However, although Cordy was pouting, she could not help smiling just then.It honestly felt very good to be loved and respected.-Cordy woke up naturally the next morning. Although she had gone missing for a whole day, no one aside from Zoe called her—not even from work.She washed up and opened the glass door in her room.The sun was bright and the ocean's breeze blew.She stood on the wide open balcony and stared at the clear water before her, so clear she could see the bottom.As she looked down, she also saw the muscular man swimming in the private pool beneath.He paused, seemingly sensing someone looking at him just then, and he stood in the middle of the pool. As water streamed down along his body, his alluring Adam's apple and chiseled chest were especially eye-catching.He was nonchalantly running his hand through his hair as he looked up, revealing his exquisite facial features in full
