A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108

Cordy sneered. “You made me do it, didn’t you?”

“I didn’t think that you were investigating me in secret!” Kyle growled viciously. “Don’t you ever tell me again you trusted me unconditionally. We’re the same–get off your high horse!”

“Don’t try to pull me down to your standards, Kyle. You’re far beneath me,” Cordy retorted coolly.” And I never asked for those photos.”

“What, are you saying you didn’t ask someone to get them for you?! Do you think I’d believe-”

“Don’t think for a second everyone else is despicable just because you are!” Cordy cut him short right then. “There are plenty of good people in this world–people who stand up for justice and who are utterly repulsed by your behavior! That’s why someone took photos of you cheating on me, because they could not stand watching you brazenly fool around with my sister while I worked myself to death for Jessop Corp!”

Kyle’s hand was shaking even as he held his phone.

Who was it? Who could have betrayed him?!

“Don’t ask me who it is. The photos were sent to me anonymously just after the fire at our wedding. They were warning me because they could not stand your behavior.”

Cordy used to be so foolish she never doubted Kyle before. Someone must have found her too naive and losing so much for his sake, that they would take those photos quietly for her use as evidence.

She never tried to find out who it was, but it must be someone from Jessop Corp–someone who could not afford to offend Kyle. That was why they struggled for so long and finally sent her those photos when her wedding was ruined.

Naturally, they could also be concerned that she was too in love to leave Kyle, and instead accuse them of duplicity.

In that case, anonymity was the best protection for both parties.

When Cordy received those photos, she had definitely wanted to show them to the world, decimating Kyle and Noel’s reputation and subjecting them to scorn of everyone else.

But in the end, she decided to spare them.

Who knew if they might genuinely be in love, after all?

And yet, a person’s kindness would not be responded to in kind, just as there were those people who did not know how to be grateful.
