All Chapters of A Life Debt Repaid: Chapter 491 - Chapter 500

Patrick chuckled and teased her, "So you actually can get nervous?""I just want to know the truth," Cordy replied. "Jessica’s wedding with John concerns my safety and personal gain."Yes, she was just being selfish. The only thing she cared about was whether she could get Dicky even though the wedding fell through!Patrick shrugged and stopped leaving her hanging. "Before John could say 'I do', Rocktown's police commissioner himself stormed in with a warrant for his arrest. Turns out John’s a suspect in a corporate criminal conspiracy."Cordy's fingers clenched. Patrick asked her, "Do you know what that means?""The wedding’s off," Cordy replied.Patrick laughed at that. "Even I can't bear to watch this, Cordy. The man would go this far for you, not holding back from destroying his own reputation and his own future just to stop this wedding. And you're being this calm?""How else would I react? Can I change anything?" Cordy asked in return. "I don't get it—how is this different

Cordy snapped in annoyance, "Just worry about yourself for now."However, John’s confidence afforded her slight relief.After all, John wouldn’t go so far as to really destroy himself just to get his engagement annulled.No person could be that stupid, and John was always above the rest.She simply took it as him keeping his trump card for the time being."I'm going now," she said, rising to her feet—she had the answer she wanted, and that was enough for her."Cordy," he suddenly stopped her, his voice a little quiet, as if he was sentimental.Cordy paused, and turned around to look at him. "Is there something else?""Take good care of Dicky for the time being.""I know.""And yourself.""I've always been very good at that.""Don't fall for other men either," John reminded her.Cordy was speechless.At this point?!John then finished, "I'll woo you again when I'm out.""I won't be waiting for long," she replied. John blinked, and Cordy clearly saw the dazzling flicker

After Cordy arrived at Levine Mansion, a servant led her to Alan’s study.The entire residence appeared bleak, perhaps because of John Levine's arrest. "Mr. Levine," she greeted the man when she saw him.Alan studied her for a long while in silence, probably because he had mixed feelings about her. They simply remained still and faced each other for a long while, until Alan suddenly sighed. "I didn't expect Johnny to go that far. He never resisted me, you know."Cordy remained silent, unsure how to respond. In reality, she understood how Alan felt since he raised John himself. It was certainly unthinkable that a child who had been so obedient would go against his will.But it was all water under the bridge now, and Alan could not change anything no matter how much of a tantrum he threw.And for a man of his noble stature who had weathered many tribulations, he would never allow himself to lose control while people watched."I knew John loved you, but not that much," Alan sa

Alan repeated, "Go. Take Dicky with you."Cordy stared at him for a while, and then said, "If you miss him, call me anytime. I'd bring him to you, whether you're in North City or abroad."Alan nodded slightly."Take care of yourself," Cordy said, rising to her feet and giving him a small bow before leaving his study.As she headed downstairs to the lobby, Dicky was already sitting obediently on the couch, waiting for her.Once she appeared, he promptly ran up to greet her. "Mommy!"The clear, little voice warmed Cordy's heart—her son was truly the greatest fort she had in life.Crouching in front of the boy, she asked, "You're going to live with me now, okay?""Okay. Daddy told me I'd be staying with you after he married Jessica…but he didn't, did he?" Dicky asked in confusion. "Did Daddy do something wrong? Why was he arrested?"Cordy felt a little bitter. The boy had just started to attend grade school—too young to worry about adult's affairs when he should be enjoying a c

In fact, Cordy herself had been wary of Jessica. She had been rather uneasy after the two months of peace, worried that Jessica would strike at her out of the blue.Patrick’s take naturally afforded her some relief—she was at least safe before Jessica got married.With that, Cordy didn’t drag on her conversation with Patrick. They soon hung up, since he was a busy man.Cordy hesitated for a moment in her office. Then, she headed to the detention center with the four bodyguards Patrick had arranged for her. John was visibly skinnier in his prison uniform and bald haircut. In fact, he had been losing weight every day since he was arrested.Even if he was smiling every time she came to visit, it wasn’t that hard to tell that he wasn’t doing well."Don't look at me like that," he said feebly. "I know I look hideous right now."He was certainly a lot less bright and glamorous than when he was the scion of the Levines.Cordy averted her eyes—he wasn’t hideous to her, but it hurt
