A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 412


    Chapter 412


    n demanded, “I’ve had enough of your antics for one night, John! Let go of her


    right now!”


    “I’ll return once I’ve sent her home!” John shot back.


    “You, sending Cordy home? In front of everyone attending the Stuarts’ charity ball?!”


    n barked. “Do you even


    understand that you’re humiliating them?! If Cordy hadn’t been smart enough, you


    would’ve already ruined your own reputation! I have never been this disappointed in


    you!”


    “For once,” John replied bluntly.


    n was left bristling by John’s reply right then, and his face suddenly flushed, as if


    he could not breathe just then.


    “Please calm down, sir,” Lawrence said, immediately noticing n’s condition after


    serving n for years. “The doctors already mentioned that you shouldn’t get agitated


    because of your high blood pressure. You’ve already had a stroke before, and the


    consequences would be devastating if it recurs…”


    John calmed down slightly as well when he saw n’s condition.


    However, he was not letting go of Cordy either.


    Seeing that grandfather and grandson were still very much on edge, Lawrence quickly


    tried to reason with John. “Sir, you know Master Levine’s health has always been


    poor.


    Please don’t aggravate him any further, or else…”


    Even so, John was not ying along at all, and he simply told n, “I’ll be right back.”


    “John!” n bellowed in rage. “Do you really want to see me die in front of you that


    badly?! Just like how you had to watch your own most beloved parents die all those


    years ago?!”


    n flushed even harder after all that yelling, and he appeared to be in such bad


    shape he could ck out the next instant.


    “Master John…” Lawrence was staring at John nervously at the same time.


    John’s fingers twitched in turn.


    No matter how determined he was, he could not leave without a care.


    That was when Cordy shook his hand off-sessfully this time.


    Naturally, she had noints since families came first.


    If her mother were still alive or if her father was devoted to her, she would do anything


    for them in turn.


    As such, she told John coolly, “Don’t make me bear the weight of a man’s death. It’d


    crush me.”


    In other words, it would overwhelm her if n died because of her.


    John’s fingers clenched, his knuckles cracking even as he restrained himself.


    “Patrick,” Cordy said, turning toward Patrick without sparing John another nce. “Do


    you mind giving me a ride home?”


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Patrick blinked, just as John looked up at Cordy.


    There was no question about it-she was giving in.


    She had no idea why he wanted her gone, though it was likely he did not want her to


    see him announce his wedding date with Jessicater.


    Whatever it was, she decided that she could not be that unreasonable.


    John was almost crazy about chasing her away, and he must have his reason-there


    was no reason for her to get emotional about it either.


    She had certainly shown William enough respect by being here and made a donation


    like she should-it was pointless if she had to stay any longer.


    “Okay.” Patrick agreed. He walked over to take her hand and left together with her.


    Once they were out of sight, n barked at John, “Why are you just standing there?!


    Go in with Jessica! The whole ballroom is waiting for you!”


    John strode past him coolly,pletely ignoring Jessica.


    Still, she simply jogged up to her and wrapped her hands around his arm.


    Behind them, Lawrence slowly wheeled n back into the


    ballroom but suddenly eximed, “To be honest, Ms. Sachs is a really great person.”


    n sighed in turn, sounding at once feeble and remorseful.
