A Life Debt Repaid의 모든 챕터: 챕터 481 - 챕터 490

Anyone who got too close would feel intimidated by the men in black's presence, but Cordy walked up to them nonetheless.One of them spoke into the microphone attached to his lapels, and waited until the person inside gave her approval before opening the door for Cordy.The interior of the VVIP room was naturally different from the other rooms, and the extravagance of the decorations inside would leave everyone's eyes lighting up.Naturally, Cordy was in no mood to admire the elegance. She limped with difficulty up to the coffee table…where Jessica sat, elegantly taking a sip of tea.There were four bodyguards in the room with her, and two were standing right behind her. It was obvious that she was wary of Cordy. Nonetheless, there was a flash of surprise in her eyes when she saw that Cordy was alone, though she hid it well by habit."Sit," she beckoned.Cordy didn’t refuse, and sat opposite her."What would you like to drink, Miss Sachs?" "Blue Mountain." After Cordy ga

The only thing that could really threaten Jessica right now was John. If John were hit with a scandal and caused severe controversy, the Stuarts would annul Jessica's engagement with him to protect their reputation.However, said annulment would be a terrible loss to both the Stuarts and Jessica. The former would have their ambitions thwarted, while for Jessica, anyone could tell how crazily in love she was with John.Therefore, if the Stuarts wouldn’t hurt Cordy for that reason, Jessica would not do it either.Even so, Jessica wasn’t so easily threatened. "Did you really think my family and the Levines can't enforce a media blackout even if you publicize this? No one even knows Jay was almost killed in a car accident. You know very well that our families' influences are far beyond what you can ever imagine!""But what if it's Patrick who publicizes these photos?" Cordy asked in return.Jessica scowled, as the threat obviously registered.Cordy regarded Jessica coolly as she cont

Nonetheless, Jessica didn’t give up. "Do you think you'd still be a Stuart if you did this? That your grandfather could defend you for this? Forget your grandfather—you'd be arrested! And that would be the end of your family!""If you put it that way…" Patrick muttered, clearly hesitant.Jessica's eyes flashed with smugness, pleased by her own cunningness. When it comes to the Stuarts, they never did care who they hurt and would bury their conscience when they stood to gain from something.Cordy saved Patrick's life, but so what? They would abandon family at the drop of a hat!However, that was the same reasoning that foiled Jessica's ploy, as Patrick suddenly said, "Actually, it just occurred to me… If this stalemate continued, your grandfather or brother would order you to kill Cordy anyway. I’d kill you in retaliation, which gives them the excuse to have me arrested immediately, since that would leave my family leaderless and powerless against yours. They'd kill so many birds

The days went by without anything out of the ordinary occurring… Until one day, when every article and news piece was reporting about John Levine and Jessica Stuart's grand wedding.Just three more days? That was quick.Nonetheless, Cordy put away her phone and rose to her feet, leaving her office for another meeting just then. The four bodyguards Patrick arranged for her followed her as if it was natural. They really did stick with her ever since Patrick sent them—save for when she went to the ladies' room or was changing clothes.Neither she nor her employees were used to it at first, but she eventually got used to it. During the meeting, Noel kept calling her, but Cordy simply rejected every call and muted her phone.After all, she knew all too well the only reason Noel would call her now was to gloat since in the end, Jessica Stuart was the one who would be with John Levine.And since Noel was now Jessica's lapdog… But if Cordy were to be honest, she had no idea how long

As Jessica walked up to John, their eyes met; hers were clearly welling up with tears.Andy Stuart, Jessica's father, patted her on the hand, before passing her hand over to John and giving him a clap on the shoulder.It was a gesture that he was entrusting Jessica to her.John nodded politely at him in turn. He and Jessica then turned toward the priest.After performing the opening rites with great passion, the priest proceeded to the cliche but exciting part: wedding vows."John Levine, do you take Jessica Stuart as your wife, in accordance with His Will… To be eternally loyal to her, 'til death do you part?"Everyone's eyes were glued to John, and the cameras were focused on his face as well.[Wow, he's too handsome! Please don't get too close, or I won't be able to resist licking the screen.][What good have I done in life, that I deserve to feast my eyes upon such magnificence?][Jessica Stuart’s the most blessed woman in the world. No buts.]The cathedral remained silen
