A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1031

Bob was apoplectic. “Yes, she stole twenty years of your life, but have you considered that you did the same to her too?! And she never hated you for it!”

“So what?!” Cora retorted. ’’She enjoyed all the luxuries of Levine Manor and had the best education, while I suffered out there! What right does she have to hate me?!”

“You like to think so, don’t you?” Bob snapped, arguing furiously and not caring about humiliating Cora just then. “It’s exactly as you put it-she enjoyed all those luxuries in life and would still be the heiress of the Levine family if you never showed up. She would still be high-and-mighty, enjoying life without a care, but because you showed up, she lost everything from her wealth to her family! Ask your conscience, wouldn’t you feel hate if you were in her shoes?!”

“You’re still my fiance, Bob!’ Cora cried hysterically. “How could you say such things to me?! I’m the one who suffered-why are you still siding with Zoe?!”

“From where I’m standing, you never suffered. No—you’re demanding a mile now that you had an inch.”

Bob was done with pretending then-he would never forgive Cora for what she had done today.“That’s my fault?!” Cora snapped, continuing to argue for herself regardless. “Have you considered that Zoe would never have appeared in your life if she never stole my place?! You’d never have fallen for her, let alone argue for her!”

“No,” Bob growled coolly. “I would never have been with you if not for Zoe.”

Cora was left gaping at Bob in disbelief.novelebook.com
