A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 221
Three Bentleys were parked right outside the main entrance of Levine Manor, and the security guard rushed forward to open the doors.The first one to walk out was John, who was dressed in a black suit that emphasized his towering figure and imposing aura.After getting out of the car, he ceremoniously bent forward to help Jessica out of the car. Jessica smiled coyly. "Thank you." "Don't mention it." John nodded, politely yet distantly.Jessica kept the smile on her face, as if she did not care about John's attitude toward her.The two of them walked one after another to the car next to them and waited respectfully. Mr. William Stuart came out of the car with the help of his personal butler.Although he was over 70 years of age and his hair had gone completely white, he looked healthy as he stood tall and straight.Jessica's parents, Andy Stuart and Wendy Stone, together with her brother, James Stuart, came out of the last Bentley.The Stuart family, helmed by William, beg

Secondly, she had thought that she was the star of tonight's banquet. She was the one coming to meet the parents, yet no one from the Levine family bothered to even look at her. She found it unacceptable being disregarded by others this way. Yet, she dared not express her displeasure.For the very first time in her life, she felt like a nobody in front of these people.After Alan and William exchanged pleasantries, they entered the hall of Levine Manor and walked straight toward the luxurious dining hall.Everyone took their seats in order of hierarchy around the massive banquet table.Servants stood ready at the side to serve and help with dinner proceedings.Conversations at the table were largely composed of Alan and William catching up with each other, reminiscing over past memories."I wanted to join Levine Ventures' 60th-anniversary celebration, but I had to make a last-minute trip to the capital city. My apologies, Alan," William said sincerely."You're being a stranger

John and Jessica chatted casually as the dinner went on.Both sets of parents felt glad to see them getting along so well.Zoe was the only one who felt so frustrated she wanted to smash a spoon and leave the scene.The thought of Cordy…Zoe told herself to calm down. She had to remain calm."How old is Zoe this year?" William suddenly singled her out. Zoe was shocked.She was sure things did not bode well with such a question on such an occasion. Out of courtesy, Zoe put down her spoon and smiled. "Mr. Stuart, I'm turning 25 this year.""It's been so long since I last saw you, and you've grown up to be such a charming young lady. I heard that you're carving out a career for yourself in the entertainment industry?""My academic results were poor so I was left with no choice but to be an entertainer," Zoe said self-deprecatingly.William was tickled by Zoe's remarks. "There are truckloads of people who can study, but not many people can act.""Then please help me persuade

She pulled her brother all the way to a dark corner in the backyard of the house. "John, what's with your engagement to Jessica?!"Zoe was in a rage but she had to suppress her volume.Her eyes darted warily toward the house, for fear that someone would come by."How is she?" John counter-questioned in his low voice.He was, of course, referring to Cordy."You have the cheek to ask about her?!" Zoe said in a huff, "You vanished into thin air over these two days just like that, not picking up your phone and completely missing in action. How do you think she's doing? She's probably putting up a strong front, what else? Do you want her to drown in her tears?""My phone was confiscated by Grandpa," John explained, "He's keeping a very close watch on me.""I knew Grandpa, that old fox, was sly and cunning. What are you going to do now? Will you really marry Jessica?" Zoe asked, "Or were you really fooling around with Cordy…"John glared at her.Zoe shut her mouth.Her brother had

Mandy saw Zoe standing at the door at the same time.Alan had called for Jay, who in turn told Mandy to wait for him in the room so that he could send her back later.She had no idea why she even came here tonight in the first place.From the beginning to the end, no one in the Levine household paid any attention to her, not to mention the Stuart family.She felt extremely awkward bumping into Zoe at this point.The thought of how she used to mock and despise Zoe and talk so arrogantly to her made her utterly ashamed of herself.She could not bear to imagine how much the outside world would attack and mock her should they find out about Zoe's true identity.Zoe could of course sense Mandy's embarrassment.She sneered. A woman like Mandy did not deserve even an ounce of sympathy from her.Zoe strode past with a slight air of arrogance.Mandy felt indignant. In the past, she had been the one behaving this way toward Zoe. Yet now, not only did she have to be on the receiving end

When they arrived outside the door of Alan's study, Jay stopped in his tracks and said, "My dad's waiting for you inside." "Aren't you going in with me?""He only wants to see you.""Jay…" Mandy was getting really nervous. "Just speak your mind," Jay assured her. "It's not like he will eat you up." Mandy took a deep breath.Although it was her first time visiting Levine Manor, she knew that there were house rules that she could not object to.She had no choice but to bite the bullet and knock on the door.When she walked into the study, she saw Alan seated before his study table, sipping on tea. The door closed behind Mandy.She looked cautiously at Alan and greeted reverentially, "Mr. Levine.""Sit," Alan said as he glanced at Mandy. Mandy immediately obeyed.Perhaps because she was too nervous, her foot accidentally kicked the redwood chair while she was taking a seat, and the legs of the chair scratched against the floor, making an ear-piercing screech. "I-I'm so

They arrived at a consensus.Mandy walked out of Alan's study.Alan sipped on his tea and sighed. "I separated two couples in a span of two days.""It was necessary with Ms. Sachs, but not with Ms. Jessop." Having been with Alan for many years, the butler Lawrence could naturally understand what was going on in his mind. "Sir, you called Ms. Jessop over just to test her and not to break them up. She was the one who failed to meet your standards, sir."In fact, it had nothing to do with Jessop Corp and her previous scandals.Alan chuckled. Indeed, Lawrence was right.Had Cordy and Mandy exchanged positions, things would have turned out differently.-When Mandy walked out of the study, she burst right into tears the moment she saw Jay.Of course, Jay knew what his father had done.His father had made himself clear that whoever yearned to enter the gates of the Levine household had to first go through him. Mandy clearly did not make the mark.In fact, he knew what the outcome

'No worries,' she assured herself. 'There's ample time.'Just because they had broken up now did not mean that they could not get back together again in the future.Her agreement to a break up and gaining from it by the way was merely a delaying tactic on her end. She had never thought of giving up Jay just like this!The car arrived outside Jessop Villa.The moment Mandy stepped out of the car, Jay spoke up. "I need your help with one thing."Mandy was taken aback.Jay needed help from her?"Please keep Zoe's identity a secret."Mandy was upset.She harbored an innate sense of animosity against Zoe, and the mere mention of Zoe's name was enough to annoy her."Exposing her identity doesn't benefit you." Jay went straight to the point."Do you fancy Zoe?" Mandy looked right into Jay's eyes.Women were umpteen times sharper when it came to their rivals in love."I don't.""Then why are you treating her so well?""We're all from the Levine household.""Zoe doesn't treat yo
