A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206

A man like Alan, who had weathered his fair share of trials and tribulations, would not usually be shaking with excitement like that.

Everyone was certainly interested, just as he spoke determinedly with great vigor. “My grandson will be formally engaged to Jessica Stuart, heiress of Stuart Holdings!”

Every guest was left in shock-there was no question that it was a big deal.

It already went without question that John would inherit Levine Ventures, even if no one had expected it to be this early.

On the other hand, no one would have expected John to be engaged to Jessica Stuart, the heiress to Rocktown’s most important family!

Ever since John returned to the Zidonia, countless heiresses were getting restless, eager to get a shot at marrying him… only for this to happen?!

At the same time, Jessica was getting onstage at Alan’s kindly beckoning.

She was wearing a pink gown that was attractive instead of tacky and not too reserved either. The tiny diamonds refracted a myriad radiance off the ground, presenting her fair skin as glowing.

Rarely was there a woman who could wear pink and still retain such a sense of superiority.

She strode up confidently to stand beside John, who happened to have a pink shirt collar on his tailored suit. Initially, it gave the impression of being unique and tailored to his personality, an appropriate celebratory hue given the occasion.

When Jessica stood beside him, however, the hue made them appear no different from a couple.

Everyone understood right then.

Though all of them were rich and powerful as well, they could not help acknowledging and envying this engagement.

The Levines and the Stuarts were a match in wealth and importance, while John and Jessica were a match made in heaven.

It was a shame they missed out, but they could only offer their blessings since they had no way to compete, even if John was glowering just then.

Those who were more observant would notice that Alan was grabbing tightly onto John’s hand, and those who did not know would think that it was a gesture of Alan’s unshakable attachment to his grandson.
