A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 24

Mandy saw Cordy too. She called out rather loudly, “Cordy?!”

Cordy naturally heard her, but she ignored her

“Who do you think you are, Cordy Sachs?!” Mandy promptly strode toward her.

Noel quickly followed, even as Mandy glared scornfully at Richard and mocked, “You really are eager to become a stepmom, aren’t you? You really are an embarrassment to womenki nd, sucking up to a man like this and paying for everything! Every item here would cost at least five figu res–you really spared no expenses!”

Richard’s little brows were furrowed.

Why did they have to run into those two witches again? They were really ruining his and his mommy’s happy shopping time.

“Stop it, Mandy,” Noel kept saying.

“Well, I’m not bothered to waste my breath with her,” Mandy said loftily and turned to leave.

Noel kept playing an angel regardless. “Don’t mind her, sis. You know Mandy doesn’t mean it, she’s just worried you’d be tricked-”

“If memory serves, Noel Sachs, this is still work hours.” Cordy cut her short right then.

While Noel was left looking awkward and stumped, Cordy flashed an icy smile.

Not wanting to waste time on trivial people, she led Richard away just as the store assistant arrived with his clothes.

It was a mini tailcoat tuxedo, and it was tailored with immaculate workmanship.

Cordy certainly must admit that John has good taste.

“Try it on, Dicky”

“Okay”

The boy looked just like a fairytale prince after he put it on, and every store assistant was earnestly adm

Noel said nothing, but certainly thought so too, as if it granted her solace.

She kept telling herself that she had no reason to get jealous of Cordy– not when the latter had fallen for some poor bum.

[What do you think?]

The response was instantaneous.

[He’s handsome.]

[Good.]

Cordy frowned.
