All Chapters of A Life Debt Repaid: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

Cordy was taken aback. "What is it?"Zoe repeated Jay's message then. "He said you should doubt everything my grandfather says and not make hasty decisions. Also, you should wait for John until he explains everything to you." Cordy pursed her lips.So, Jay actually knew everything—that was why he had been so helpful over the years.And she actually thought that he was just being a good Samaritan. Still, Zoe eventually could not help defending John. "Look, Cordy," Zoe said. "My brother would never fall in love with Jessica Stuart. The old folks must have decided on the engagement themselves, and not even John knows about it. If he did, he would never have brought you to the banquet hall—even if he doesn't love you, there's no need to humiliate himself and cause necessary trouble, don't you think?! You have to believe in John!"Nonetheless, Cordy calmly replied, "Zoe, what did you think will happen after your grandfather has announced John's engagement with Jessica in front of

Kyle was left gritting his teeth. "Don't get so full of yourself, Cordy!"After all, he was already the laughingstock of high society for being denied an invitation to Levine Ventures' anniversary celebration. The fact that Mandy had been exposed for trying to frame Cordy only left his family's reputation hitting rock bottom, and no one among the commerce circles of North City cared about them anymore.To make things worse, the sponsors Cordy brought in for Jessop Corp before were looking prepared to withdraw their capital. If this continued, Jessop Corp would soon face bankruptcy just like they did years ago.Even so, Kyle only became harsher toward Cordy. "Jessica is a hundred times better than you. You know important families care about background, while she and John have feelings for each other. And what's more, John's son is hers! Do you really think there's anything about you that's better than Jessica?!""I don't have to compare myself to her. All I need to know is that Jo

Zoe heaved a sigh of relief… only to get nervous again soon enough. "Wait, what is Grandpa going to do John? John clearly isn’t going to agree to the engagement.""I called you specifically to warn you about that," Nancy snapped. "Don't try to meddle with John's engagement with Jessica! I know you're buddies with Cordy, and I won't stop you from making friends, but you have no right to interfere with certain matters—not that you can!""Mom…" Zoe groaned."And your grandpa is telling you to go home tonight for dinner," Nancy added, giving Zoe no chance of refusal."But why?" Zoe asked.After all, Alan had grown to dislike hustle and bustle over the last few years. In fact, there were rarely any family dinners, and he only attended a couple of social events unless absolutely necessary. It was certainly no Christmas or Thanksgiving now, so why was she suddenly summoned home?!"Jessica's grandfather is coming for dinner and discussing John's engagement with her.""And what does th

Zoe sat calmly in her MPV even as Penny kept rambling on beside her. "Those ingrates, turning coats as soon as Mandy bought them some snacks! Don't they remember that you've been treating them to tea every other day? Put together, that's way more than what it cost Mandy! And why won't you let me scold them, Zoe? Badmouthing us behind our backs… it's outrageous!""Their mouths are theirs. They can say whatever they like," Zoe told Penny.Penny pouted. "But they're also questioning your relationship with Jay…" "And they're right," Zoe said flatly—she never looked at Jay directly unless she had to.Penny had more to say but Zoe cut her short. "I need to leave early today, so I'll be putting you down at the junction ahead. Take a taxi home—you can claim the fare from Linda." "Okay." Penny nodded, earnestly finding Zoe a kind soul right then.After all, was there any other celebrity who gave their assistant a ride home?!In fact, Zoe would always make sure to send Penny to her doorstep if

Jay suddenly pulled Mandy into his arms to stop her from hitting Zoe again. "Enough!"But Mandy was not having any of it—she struggled against his hold, all while snarling savagely, "She has no right to hover around you! She's so shameless she would come here to Levine Manor! Who does she think she is?!""I'm not just anyone. I'm just the granddaughter of the average Joe named Alan Levine!" Zoe retorted right then.While Mandy was left taken aback and unable to respond, Zoe asked, "Doesn't ring a bell? Well, it's not that widely known in North City… But what if I told you he's the board chairman of Levine Ventures?"Mandy's heart skipped a beat, and she abruptly came to a realization.But she simply could not believe it. It was simply impossible!There was no way Zoe could be Alan's granddaughter! If she were, would she have to work so hard for her showbiz career? With Levine Ventures owning half the studios out there, Zoe would have been able to strut anywhere she went! But Ma
