A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103

Meanwhile, the journalists‘ questions were still coming, each more contemptible than the last as they trampled all over Noel’s dignity.

She was still crying, unable to accept everything that was happening–that she had been so thoroughly destroyed.

Eventually, she bit her lip and worked hard to calm herself, understanding very well that she would not get away without an answer today.

Naturally, she was no pushover after years of experience.

Cordy was dreaming if she wanted Noel down and out!

Though Noel’s eyes were flashing dangerously just then, there was a miserable puppy look on her face. “Kyle and I are in love.”

Cordy sneered in the end, Noel admitted it.

Still, Noel continued, saying, “We were hiding it from my sister because we didn’t want her to be sad, and Kyle was even willing to sacrifice himself to marry her. If not for that fire, I would’ve quietly stepped aside for the sake of their marriage…”

“Quietly stepped aside?” One of the journalists scoffed. “More like you’d keep cheating on your own sister with your brother–in–law!”

Though that jibe stung, Noel vehemently protested. “No, I wouldn’t have stayed in between them if they were married–I wasn’t raised that way.”

“Noel, if memory serves me right, your mother was just a glorified mistress!” The same journalist scoffed again. “I don’t know you well enough to say anything about how you were raised, but I guess it’s in the genes.”

“I…” The journalist’s snide remarks left Noel in tears again–she did not expect them to be so contemptible!
