A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 289

Cordy’s slap left everyone on the scene dumbstruck. Everyone was surprised at how vicious she could be.

All Eva could feel was the burning pain on her cheek. She could not quite react, even as Cordy snapped icily, "A child's discipline is their parents' responsibility. Since you insist on not disciplining your son, I’ll have to discipline you instead!"

"Cordy Sachs!" Eva shrieked shrilly, unable to believe that Cordy had just slapped her in front of so many people.

If word gets out, she would have no dignity left!

Nonetheless, Cordy took Dicky with her and started to leave, refusing to waste her breath with them.

Just as she turned, Adam intercepted her, looking utterly savage.

He had no intention of fighting Cordy with that pretty face of hers. However, since he was Eva's husband, a slap to her face was no different from a slap to his face—he would never live it down.

Dicky sensed danger, and promptly moved his little frame to stand before Cordy, protecting her.

Cordy's heart softened right then, and she felt emotional from Dicky's gesture.

He was willing to defend her, even with that tiny body of his!

She tightened her hold on Dicky. There was no way she would let him get hurt protecting her!

"Don't think I won't hit a woman!" Adam bellowed threateningly, his flabby cheeks flapping as he spoke. "Get down on your knees and apologize to my wife, or you're not going anywhere!"

"No!" Eva cried. "I must pay her back for her slap!"

"You heard the woman," Adam growled. "Do it, or you and your son will be very sorry!"

Cordy watched coolly as Adam and Eva accosted her, and Jerry, their son, who was grinning smugly.

"What if I refuse?" Cordy growled.

"Do you think you can do anything you like just because you're pretty?!" Adam shrieked. "Do you think every man will fall for your wiles? I'm sorry, but you're not my type at all! There's no telling how many other men had been down there—it's filthy!"

"Don't you talk to my mommy like that!" Dicky suddenly shouted, his little cheeks contorted with rage.

"You little b*st*rd! Do you even know who your father is? The adults are talking!" Adam scoffed.

"My daddy’s John Levine!" Dicky yelled, just as loudly.

Everyone was left taken aback for a moment, but were soon roaring with laughter since they thought it was a ridiculous joke.

"You little brat!" Adam raised a hand, ready to slap Dicky in the face.
