A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 552

They came together only for the sake of personal gain.

What affections did they have for each other?

They only knew self-preservation in the face of troubles.

For example, this time, since evidence pointed toward her and her brother, they were doomed to be scapegoats this time, while her grandparents and parents busied themselves with thinking about how to escape unscathed.

That was reality—the reality of her family.

Therefore, she truly believed that John could possibly abandon Richard when he was forced to a corner.

As John himself said, he could also have many other sons with Cordy.

Richard would one day be forgotten in their own world.

And instead of gaining an advantage, she would only end up sacrificing herself in her attempt at revenge.

John turned to look at Jessica, who glared viciously back at him.

"Finally giving in?" she quipped sarcastically.

How cold-blooded could John really be?

He ultimately chose to sacrifice himself to save Richard, didn't he?

John didn't respond to Jessica. Instead, he walked toward Jessica step by step.

He said, "Let Dicky go."

"Fine," Jessica nodded. "Come over here first."

"Do you really think I'll trust you?" John asked.

Jessica's face darkened.

She signaled one of the bodyguards, "Release the rope on his hands."

"Yes."

The bodyguard crouched forward and did according to Jessica's instructions.
