A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 224

Chapter 224

She pulled her brother all the way to a dark corner in the backyard of the house. “John, what’s with your engagement to Jessica?!”

Zoe was in a rage but she had to suppress her volume.

Her eyes darted warily toward the house, for fear that someone would come by.

“How is she?” John counter-questioned in his low voice.

He was, of course, referring to Cordy.

“You have the cheek to ask about her?!” Zoe said in a huff, “You vanished into thin air over these

two days just like that, not picking up your phone and completely missing in action. How do you. think she’s doing? She’s probably putting up a strong front, what else? Do you want her to drown

in her tears?”

“My phone was confiscated by Grandpa,” John explained, “He’s keeping a very close watch on me.”

“I knew Grandpa, that old fox, was sly and cunning. What are you going to do now? Will you really marry Jessica?” Zoe asked, “Or were you really fooling around with Cordy…”

John glared at her.

Zoe shut her mouth.

Her brother had lived a chaste life for so many years. He could not possibly do something like that!

“Why don’t I lend you my phone so you can give Cordy a call?” Zoe started pulling her phone out from her pocket as she spoke.

Before she could hand the phone over to John, a voice sounded from the darkness.

“Young Master.”

Zoe nearly screamed with fright.

She turned around to look in disbelief at the bodyguard in black right before her.

When did this man appear right next to them?

He did it so discreetly.

“Old Master has instructed for you to not have any private contact with anyone before Ms. Stuart leaves North City,” the bodyguard said respectfully.

“I’ll be d*mned!” Zoe could not hold back a curse.
