A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 338

Chapter 338

Why was Zoe suddenly thinking about Clara?

The way she aged unnaturally quickly under stress, her hands that were filled with calluses, and how she always cooked her good food when she was already penniless...

Her tears began to trickle out the corner of her eyes and streamed down her cheeks.

She thought she would never forgive Clara for the rest of her life or be soft on her, let alone acknowledge her.

But in just two weeks, she was already worried about Clara.

She had no idea how long she had been crying, but her tears could not stop flowing.

Zoe received a text from Linda in the afternoon.

Before she received it, she actually did not know if she would force herself and ask others for help, or really wait to die.

Nonetheless, the text arrived, and Zoe stayed silent for a long while after that.

[Your showbiz career is being smothered in every aspect, save for one option. You can take it if you're willing, and I understand that you can't survive after losing everything since you used to lead a lavish life.

Likewise, I understand too many A-listers getting caught in various scandals, and were forced to sell themselves, body and soul. But just think about it—I'll give this director's number to you. You can even negotiate to not show your face.]

Zoe stared at the number sent to her by Linda.

Zoe doubted that Linda was trying to humiliate by sending her to film pornography. Linda was just used to the comings and goings of stars and artists who would do anything for money. In that sense, she was doing all she could, out of kindness, to help Zoe.

Zoe's hands were shaking even as she dialed the number.

Zoe stared at it for a while, and took it-she had no money at the moment, let alone anything for the taxi fare.

As she left with the money, however, Clara told her, "Don't come back."

Zoe ignored Clara, but she could imagine the beating Clara was in for if she did not.

She was walking down the dimly lit stairs when she received that call from Quinn.

She hesitated for a long while before finally answering.

It was then that she remembered promising Cordy that she would stay with Cordy until her trial, only to end up breaking that promise.

Zoe could not stop her tears welling in her eyes at Quinn's words, but she knew very well that Quinn and Cordy would accept her unconditionally. Even so, she was utterly reluctant to trouble them.
