A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 36

One of the rich kids nearby suddenly said, “Hey, isn’t that Kyle’s girlfriend?”

He was acquainted with Kyle and had therefore met Cordy a few times. While he knew that she was beautiful, Cordy was so dazzling tonight that he almost did not recognize her

“Did you come with Kyle? I’ll go get him.”

He was certainly kind enough-anyone would have a heart when it comes to beauty, and he felt a hint of sympathy for her.

Even so, another woman nearby scoffed. “I wonder what Kyle was thinking, falling for her!”

“Their wedding was canceled because of a fire, wasn’t it? Someone up there didn’t want Kyle to ruin. himself over her…”

Cordy listened to the mockery with apathy and no reaction.

Having gotten used to it, she genuinely thought nothing of it.

However, just as she was about to reach into her bag and take out her invitation, Kyle arrived with the rich kid.

“Mr Jessop,” the attendant greeted him respectfully “We received a tip that Ms. Sachs came in without an invitation. May I ask if you brought her in?”

Kyle looked at Cordy, and there was a flash of savagery in his eyes as he remembered how she cold- shouldered him.

“What are you doing here, Cordy?” he exclaimed, looking utterly surprised “I thought you said you were sick?”

Cordy sneered he was clearly denying that he brought her here

Nearby, Noel had been a little nervous at first, since she had a hard time accepting that Kyle tried to help Cordy.

Naturally, his reaction now brightened her day!

It was confirmation for everyone that Cordy sneaked in, and she would be humiliated if word got out!

“Hilarious! So she really sneaked in!” The woman nearby scoffed even more obviously now

“She really is the joke of polite society..

“She isn’t one of us. The Sachs disowned her years ago-no one would remember her if she wasn’t dating Kyle Jessop…”

“Just get her out of here already. What an embarrassment.”

Having heard Kyle, the attendant in turn told Cordy bluntly, “I’m sorry, Ms. Sachs, but you can’t attend this banquet without an invitation. This way, please-”

Before he could finish, Cordy had already taken out her golden invitation and held it in front of the attendant.

Everyone watching was stunned-they could not believe that Cordy had one!

In fact, most of them only came along with their parents or husbands, and did not receive one personally!

“Why don’t you verify it?” Cordy snapped coolly at the attendant.

The attendant took it respectfully and opened it for a look.

Everyone nearby shuffled closer for a look, and they all saw the neat calligraphy that read Cordy Sachs.

She really received a personal invitation from Levine Ventures.

But what gave her the right?!

“I’m sorry, Ms. Sachs. It’s our mistake.” The attendant apologized right then, even giving her a 90- degree. bow. “I hope this didn’t ruin your mood for the evening. Apologies.”

Cordy simply ignored him and glanced at Kyle, who appeared stunned and a little embarrassed.

All it took was a simple line from him, and he would have spared Cordy the trouble.

Even so, he chose to ignore her situation so that she would be humiliated.

And worst of all, his attempt failed!

Cordy turned to leave the mob then, and paused as she walked past Noel and Mandy. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Both of them were certainly infuriated.

They wanted to see her embarrassed, only for Cordy to turn the tables once more, in full view of the public

And none of them would have been able to present an invitation from Levine Ventures!
