A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 270

Just then, someone sent a message to Cordy's WhatsApp. She opened her app to find that it was John.

[Do you want to cover up the news?]

The news and public opinion was clearly in their favor, but John was worried Cordy wouldn't be able to endure it.

[No need,] Cordy replied bluntly.

She didn't agree with Noel's cruel methods, but Cordy wasn't kind enough to pity the man who had wanted to hurt her.

She would simply sit back and enjoy the show.

[Got it.]

With that, Cordy exited the app. She got up from the couch and stretched her still sore body before saying to Zoe, "I'm going to lie down for a while."

Zoe was still reading the news on her phone, clearly worked up, but she nodded in response. "I'm sure you're exhausted from last night. Go ahead and get some rest."

The younger woman didn't even look up at Cordy and her full attention was on her phone.

Cordy guessed that she was probably cursing out Kyle with the other people in the thread while also enjoying the drama. Rather than an actress, Cordy thought Zoe would’ve been more suited to be a gossip reporter.

At the Sachs family residence, Simon was so happy when he read the news that he roared with laughter.

"Kyle was arrested because of this scandal, and Noel has become a victim. With this, I can justify not giving any financial help to Jessop Corp. I can even hold my head up proudly to condemn his family! Oh, this is a great move!"

Noel was naturally also in a good mood, even though not everything had gone according to her plan. After all, she had really wanted Kyle to defile Cordy; they would’ve been labeled cheaters if they had slept together behind her back. Kyle's reputation would’ve taken a hit, which would be a good reason for Noel to break up with him. Cordy would also suffer. It would’ve been hitting two birds with one stone, but she hadn't expected John to interfere halfway through.

When Noel saw what happened through the miniature camera she had installed secretly, she turned green with envy.

She didn't understand. Didn't John already have a fiancee? Why would he still go out of his way to rescue Cordy?

When Noel saw John rush in, she genuinely thought John would actually kill Kyle with how brutally he beat the latter up.
