A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169

There was no question that Cordy had won this phase with overwhelming approval, hence proceeding to the next round.

The crowd was roaring with approval.

And yet, the judges did not rate Cordy’s design highly, dismissing it as having nothing unique, only that its overall presence was commendable. It was therefore fortunate that their rating was only twenty percent of the total score, and Kyle’s sabotage beforehand changed nothing.

Meanwhile, panic was showing all over Noel’s face.

At that rate, even if she had a flash of inspiration in the final phase, she was not going to win against Cordy.

She turned to look at Mandy, who was absolutely satisfied with Cordy’s design.

In fact, it was the first time she felt so beautiful!

If it had been anyone else, she would have appointed them as her personal tailor.

But it had to be Cordy… and she could not even hate this design!

Naturally, she noticed Noel’s look.

Preferences notwithstanding, Mandy would never allow Cordy to rise above them either.

She nodded at Noel with tacit understanding, and Noel gained some confidence in turn.

Meanwhile, at the Levine Ventures headquarters, John told Randy to turn on the live comments again and he calmly tapped on his WhatsApp icon as well.

Messages started to gush in, all of which were from Bob Davis.

[Cordy’s amazing, kicking things off with a bang! @johnlevine]

[What is wrong with those judges?! How is Cordy’s design simple?! Don’t they know that less is more?! They have even less of an understanding of art than me! @johnlevine]

[Even if Mandy is a little pretty, and I may have seen that years ago, I have to admit that she actually looks way better tonight. It’s all thanks to Cordy’s design. @johnlevine @jayparker]

Bob was still rambling on, but no one was replying.
