A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 44

Mandy froze, well and truly stunned by John’s intimidating demeanor.

However, she threw all caution in the wind and started screaming the next instant.

“John Levine, do you think Cordy Sachs is some sort of treasure? You’ve just returned to the country, so you wouldn’t know of her debauchery-but she already started sleeping around at eighteen, and even had a child! She even refused to break up with my brother, and shamelessly latched her fingers on you! Don’t fall for her trap!”

“That’s Cordy Sachs? Amazing. She actually managed to hook up with Mr. Levine so quickly!”

“Didn’t someone say her gown was worth a billion dollars? She really spared no expense to seduce a man.”

“Didn’t his son call her mommy? Did she bewitch the boy too?”

“She really is a succubus…”

Mandy smiled smugly even as everyone mocked Cordy-she was bent on humiliating Cordy, so that John would understand what Cordy was really like!

She would never believe that John could accept Cordy after knowing all that, just as she would never allow Cordy to have him!

However, John said coldly and with a threatening tone, “She was set up when she was eighteen, and circumstances forced her to deliver that child. It’s her misfortune-not her fault. And she deserves sympathy and comfort for her tragic past, not malicious slander and contempt!”
