A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328

Cordy was stubborn. "That's my own business." 'Yes, but Zoe might not want to see you right now either," John told her." She just turned from a swan to an ugly duckling-do you think she'd be able to stay composed and face you or anyone else? She might want some quiet time to herself, so let's just give her some space..."

Cordy scowled. "John-"

"The point is, Jay will be taking care of her," John said, cutting her short.

Cordy was taken aback and was soon snapping, "Are we really pinning our hopes on Jay now?! He didn't care about her at all when she was still Levine! Do you think he'd take the bullet after what happened to her?!

Moreover, your aunt is denying Zoe help. What can Jay do when he's just adopted? Get chased out of the family like Zoe? Would he really go that far for her?!"

"Like I said before," John said. "Jay was right in rejecting Zoe."

Cordy did not respond to that, refusing to listen to any of his explanations although she did not know what he was going to say.

But once he made everything crystal clear to her, she was so stunned that she actually stopped to listen and understand the two bombshells the Levines were keeping.

"And that is why you should trust Jay,' John eventually summarized, but Cordy was hesitant.

As such, John repeated himself, "I understand how you feel about Zoe and would never interfere with your friendship-she's a good girl who deserves friendship even if she's not a Levine. You've also called Zoe yourself. Given her phone's been turned off all this while, I know you understand that this means she does not want to be bothered."

Cordy bit her lip, but she agreed with John's opinion.

Right now, Zoe would really prefer to be alone.

A week later, the impending trial for Cord/s charges was still widely discussed online.
