A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210

‘That crafty geezer! What is he doing to Cordy?!

‘He could have sold her to human traffickers and none would have been the wiser!”

It was scarier the more Zoe thought about it, and she quickly got into her car, intent on saving Cordy from Levine Manor.

“Wait.”

Jay caught her wrist but she shook him off violently.

She did it almost as soon as Jay touched her, and a moment of awkwardness ensued.

Still, Jay spoke calmly in the next instant. “When you see Cordy, tell her to doubt everything your grandfather says and not to make any hasty decisions. Tell her to wait for John until he explains everything to her.”

“What are you talking about? Was John hiding something from her?” Zoe asked, sharp as ever.

It was not as if she was not smart-she simply did not use her brains properly, such as in her

studies.

However, Jay did not elaborate either. “Just keep Cordy company for a couple days-things like these hurt, so try to counsel her. I’ll postpone your scenes to a further time so you won’t have to worry about coming to the film set.”

Zoe did not ask anything in turn, since it was pointless-Jay was never going to tell her anything he

did not want to.

It was far better to hurry along and save Cordy.

Along the way, Zoe told her chauffeur to floor it, and once her car stopped outside the manor, she rushed up to her grandfather’s study on the second floor.

Whenever he had something to say, Alan always did it in his study.

The instant Zoe opened the door, she immediately saw Cordy sitting inside, looking small and vulnerable.

“Where are your manners? You’re an adult now!” Alan shot a look at Zoe after she barged in with a reprimanding tone.

He was not at all upset, however-it was just a nonchalant rebuke from an elder to a youngling’s brusque attitude.
