A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1028

There were also videos and photos of Jay abroad receiving treatment, all of them evidence indicating Zoe was not with him at the time—that they were lying to everyone.

Naturally, they were flamed soon after the news was leaked.

[My god! Is this real?! Unbelievable… I shipped them so much, but it's all lies!]

[This is disgusting if it's true! They are treating us like idiots, deceiving us like this!]

[Well, what's their relationship, really? And who's the father?]

[I even heard that they are doing a variety show together, that they were being sweet. Is that all fake too?]

Both Jay and Zoe were scowling harder by the second as they scrolled through the radical comments.

"I'll be direct, Mr. Parker. I'm sure you know better than I do, since I'm sure you know better than I do that anything can happen in showbiz," Ruby said, having given Jay enough time to check the news.

"Of course. Tell me." Jay remained calm and composed.

Zoe, who was on the verge of screaming, was actually impressed Jay could remain this cool-headed.

"Your marriage with Ms. York has always been your private affair, and no one has the right to pry in. However, the theme of our variety show is romance, and a relationship scandal will deal a significant blow to our ratings—in other words, if everything they say was proven true, we might really have to rescind your participation as a couple."

Jay remained silent, refraining from responding right away.

Ruby in turn added, "Of course, if you're able to resolve the entire issue on your own, we'll be pleased to keep you as a guest."

In other words, she would not rescind their spots as guests even if their relationship was faked—as long as the public believed it.
