A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 495

After Cordy arrived at Levine Mansion, a servant led her to Alan’s study.

The entire residence appeared bleak, perhaps because of John Levine's arrest.

"Mr. Levine," she greeted the man when she saw him.

Alan studied her for a long while in silence, probably because he had mixed feelings about her.

They simply remained still and faced each other for a long while, until Alan suddenly sighed. "I didn't expect Johnny to go that far. He never resisted me, you know."

Cordy remained silent, unsure how to respond.

In reality, she understood how Alan felt since he raised John himself. It was certainly unthinkable that a child who had been so obedient would go against his will.

But it was all water under the bridge now, and Alan could not change anything no matter how much of a tantrum he threw.

And for a man of his noble stature who had weathered many tribulations, he would never allow himself to lose control while people watched.

"I knew John loved you, but not that much," Alan said emotionally.

Alan had felt John's restrained aversion towards the engagement with Jessica, but he never resisted, or even said 'no'.
