A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 432


    Chapter 432


    Cordy nodded, agreeing with John’s take.


    He was still watching her and solemnly giving her his analysis. “In summary, William


    has two key individuals he needs to deal with before his rise to power: Patrick and


    myself. However, he hasbeled Patrick as a hostile that needs to be eliminated,

    while using every method at his disposal to attempt luring me to his cause. And for


    them, the only issue with that is you, which is why there’s no doubt that they would


    Cordy blinked but did not respond.


    John then continued. “When you showed up at that charity ball with Patrick, it meant


    that they could make one move while gaining twice the rewards. They were never


    going to let that chance slip.”


    “In reality, I’m not that formidable that I can fully read their mind, and everything I’ve


    mentioned is my supposition along with some after-action observation. I’m not


    irvoyant-1 can’t protect you even before something happens, and it’s not until the


    eliminate you and Patrick at once.”


    John gulped even as he remembered the horrors of that other night.


    A little mishap, and Cordy would be in pieces now.


    “That’s why I tried to stop you froming to Rocktown. If you never came, the


    Stuarts might’ve only contemted making a move against Patrick, but it’s a certainty


    when you’re there. No one ever denies themselves the pleasure of killing two birds


    with one stone-especially not the Stuarts, who are shrewd to the very end.”


    Cordy was silent.


    She actually had a hunch that things would get dangerous if she came to Rocktown,


    which was why she had insisted on leaving the charity ball early with Patrick.


    Like John had said, none of them were irvoyant, and they could never predict what


    the Stuarts would do to hurt them.


    The only option was to keep going forward.


    After all, she was not being petty against John when she chose toe despite


    knowing the dangers. She had certainly made it clear that she had no choice-William’s


    side of the family wanted her gone, and she had no way to go except forward.


    For that, she needed a shield in Patrick. She therefore had to prioritize their


    partnership, and if her business failed, she would be of worthless to Patrick.


    And she knew all too well that their partnership would go up in smoke once one side


    became worthless.


    Be that as it may, she did not exin that to John.


    At the moment, she did not know what their rtionship was because sentiment was


    not everything-there were pros and cons to consider, along with certain questions.


    Were they friends or foes?


    What did John think of William’s side of the family?


    Maybe he was just fiddling while Rome burned-he would wait until one between


    William and Monty emerged victorious before making his choice.


    That was not the case for Cordy, who had already taken Monty’s side, betting every


    chip she had in the process.


    As such, she was left feeling a mess of emotions.


    She suffered much misfortune before-her mother’s early passing, his father and her


    family’s apathy and abuse toward her, and her boyfriend’s duplicity.


    Those were painful experiences, but that was all-she weathered through them by


    herself, either enduring it or fighting back.


    But now, for the first time, she was at a loss. She simply had no idea what was going


    to happen.
