A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35

Mandy suddenly had an idea. “Maybe she slipped in?”

Noel realized with a start-it was certainly a possibility.

Before the two of them could react, they saw Kyle heading straight toward Cordy

As for Cordy, she felt countless stares at her as she entered the banquet hall, but she remained calm and composed until she saw Kyle

“What are you doing here?” he asked quietly.

“I don’t think you have a right to ask that,” Cordy asked. “This event is organized by the Levines, not your family”

“The Sachs didn’t bring you here, and Starstream Group would never receive an invitation. How did you get in?”

“So, you’re doubting me?”

“It’s embarrassing if you’re caught sneaking into a private banquet, Cordy!” Kyle snapped viciously.

Cordy was scowling from his harsh words, when he suddenly gave in and made a kind look. “Whatever- just stay with me, and I’ll tell anyone who asked that I brought you in. To the public, we’re still in a relationship, after all.”

As he spoke, he reached out to take her hand…

But she avoided him entirely.

Kyle’s face fell. “This is for your own good. I’m helping you.”

“I don’t need your help,” Cordy said, refusing him icily. “Let’s keep to ourselves.”

With that, she strode off as he looked on, his face contorting in rage in her wake.

Even so, his gaze lingered on her dazzling gown that accentuated her perfect figure and left her beautiful beyond description.

“I can’t stand it,” Mandy growled as she saw the exchange between her brother and Cordy “He still cares

about her!”
