A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1286

John got out of the couch and headed over to the balcony.

He was the one who rejected Cordy's advances, but he was also the one who suffered.

-

Days later, John's second wedding with Cordy in the capital was underway.

Since he was supposed to receive Cordy from Cranston Hall, he bought another mansion where the Levines would stay the night before.

Naturally, Zoe and Jay were there, while Quinn also stayed at a nearby hotel, just like the other friends and associates from North City.

Cordy was yawning when Quinn and Zoe both arrived at Cranston Hall early in the morning, and the servants led her to the room.

Zoe was ranting the instant she saw Cordy, "I knew the Cranstons were amazing, but I didn't think that they'd be this amazing. This old manor is so huge I'm sure I'll lose my way in here—are you sure it's not a palace?! You'd be a princess or nobility, or at least royalty, if we were in medieval times."

In reality, Zoe was not that far off the mark—the Cranstons had ties to royalty. Their roots were still entrenched deeply that the family retained that influence, and they did deserve their placement as one of the four most important dynasties in the nation.

Moreover, in addition to its historical significance, Cranston Hall was still expanding its walls every year, and in the capital where every yard of land was worth its weight in gold, they basically occupied half a street now.

What Zoe was seeing was just the tip of the iceberg—there were spots in the manor reserved for tourism, but they still retained ownership even though tourists paid to come in for a look.

"To think my bestie is nobility—it's an honor." Zoe sighed emotionally before snapping indignantly, "I mean, if they'd brought you back earlier, you'd be wiping Jessica Stuart and Noel Sachs' faces on the floor!"

Cordy laughed. "They lost to me anyway even without my family's help anyway."

"Praise be to Cordy the Almighty!" Zoe promptly flattered her.

Cordy smiled faintly, though she also felt a little emotional—Noel and Jessica seemed to be ancient history to her now.

In fact, Noel might have been released from prison since it had been years.

How would she live now?
