A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 407


    Chapter 407


    A deep, maic voice suddenly resounded in the ballroom, and everyone turned in


    that direction to see that John had raised his auction paddle.


    He even started the bid at five times the price for Noel!


    Noel, who was just reveling in glee, was left dumbstruck as she stared at John in


    disbelief.


    He was already with Jessica, yet he was still bidding for Cordy, and in front of so


    many people? Did he even consider Jessica’s feelings?!


    In fact, Jessisca actually reacted to John’s bid, despite her immacte ability in


    keeping up appearances.


    John had always been tactful, never once resisting Jessica’s family ever since the


    announcement of their engagement.


    Thus, she never expected him to humiliate her in front of so many others.

    She turned towards John with a look of confusion, but he returned her gaze without a


    hint of emotion, let alone any ounce of guilt.


    As if everything he was doing was only natural.


    “600 grand!”


    Another man’s voice resounded in the ballroom.


    Everyone turned in that direction, and found Patrick raising his auction paddle as well.


    Patrick had actually been waiting for John’s bid, knowing thetter would never allow


    Cordy leave in such humiliating fashion.


    In fact, John finally did it just as Patrick himself thought he should make a bid.


    “700,” John continued the bid, even though it started at just 100-the price in which Tim


    Zimmer bid for Noel’s first dance.


    Talk about rubbing it in.


    Still, Patrick wasn’t backing down just yet. “800.”


    “900.”


    “1 million.”


    “1.2 million,”


    John kept bidding…and Patrick kept raising.


    “1.5 million,” he said.


    “2-” John said, only to be cut off.


    “Johnny,” Jessica suddenly called out to him, retaining her affable smile while


    appearing formal as she tried to reason with him. “Cordy made it very clear that this


    was just the appetizer. Participation is the most important part, not to mention that the


    best is yet toe. I know you’d like to donate more since this is my first solo hosting


    of my family’s annual charity ball, but there’s no need to rush things along.”
