A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 893

Certainly, Cordy wouldn’t lay down her life for just about anyone.

That was being irresponsible to her own life; plus, she wasn’t despicable enough to threaten someone with her own suicide.

"In other words, your feelings for Lucas don't compare to mine!" Nana smiled even broadly, her scorn even more obvious.

"That's not love—that's selfish obsession. You have no idea what love is."

"No! I love Lucas more than anyone else, and I can't live without him," Nana retorted, looking Cordy straight in the eye. "You can still live happily without Lucas, so don't try to take him from me, okay? Spare my life."

"Your life is your own and has nothing to do with anyone else's. Don't try to threaten me with emotional blackmail," Cordy said coolly, immune to Nana’s pity party.

"But I'm not." Nana smiled faintly, turning back to Lucas. "We're just distant relatives and ultimately strangers—how could I threaten you? I'm just threatening Lucas."

As John stayed dead silent, Nana pressed, "Let go of Cordy now, or I'll be a corpse the next time you see me."

John glared coldly at her, his eyes bloodshot.

Nana, however, did not seem to feel his rage at all. In fact, she was actually smiling beautifully at him. "I’ll count down from three, and then leave without looking back."

"Three."

"Two…"

Just like that, John let go of Cordy's hand.

Cordy felt her heart being cut to the quick, but this was simple reality—whether John loved Nana or not, he couldn’t abandon her; that made him vulnerable to Nana’s despicable threats.

And Nana had to be insane enough to die, just to have him all for herself.

"Let's go back to our room, okay?" Nana smiled smugly, since hiding her true nature was unnecessary now.

She claimed Lucas in the most despicable way possible, but she didn’t care—her only concern was that Lucas belonged to her.

She held out her hand in front of Lucas, waiting for him to take it.
