A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157

Even before Noel spoke to Cordy, Mandy arrived, escorted by a handful of assistants, and she immediately scoffed at Cordy. “Oh, the world is so small… To think that we’d run into you here.”

Cordy was actually surprised that Mandy was a part of this.

Still, she soon remembered that Solo Show could never get current A-listers. All they had were either former stars whose popularities were fading, or actresses who were at best B-listers. And since the designers were newcomers or even amateurs, there was no popularity to be gained for real stars here.

Naturally, Cordy simply ignored Noel and Mandy, since there was nothing to be said to them.

But just as she was about to leave, Mandy laughed with utter disdain. “Cordy Sachs! Anyone can take pride in themselves, but always beware that it doesn’t become conceit. Aren’t you afraid of humiliating yourself in front of one billion people across the country?!”

“Shouldn’t you be more concerned about yourself, Ms. Jessop?” Cordy retorted. “I know Jay Parker well enough to tell that he doesn’t like troublemakers.”

Mandy scowled right then-how dare Cordy threaten her with Jay?!

Even so, Cordy continued as if she just remembered, “By the way, I had a few drinks with Mr. Parker himself during John’s birthday. Maybe he’ll bring you along for dinner… if there ever is an opportunity.”

And with those words, Cordy turned to leave, leaving Mandy ashen-faced as she watched Cordy.

Was Cordy mocking her? Despite the official announcement, she and Jay were not really lovers!

In reality, the night when everyone was wildly speculating a relationship between Jay and Zoe, Jay had called Mandy at 3 AM, asking if she would date him. If she was willing, he would announce it publicly at daybreak, even admitting that her reputation would drop rock bottom afterwards, more or less affecting her career.

Even so, Mandy agreed to it without hesitation-the damage to her reputation was temporary, but Jay was the one she wanted for the rest of her life!

Hence, once she agreed, Jay arrived at Jessop Villa by 4 AM that same night, taking several intimate photos of them together and then telling her to tweet the official announcement after he did.
