A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 290

Cordy promptly pulled Dicky out of harm's way, refusing to let her son get hurt.

Adam laughed coldly before snapping viciously at the boy, "Your mom’s a liar! Do you really think that John Levine, the heir to the richest family in North City, is your father? Why don't you look yourself in the mirror or see how slutty your mom looks! You really think John Levine would tap that and have you? Dream on!"

"John Levine is my—"

"That's enough! Don't waste your time with them," Eva said, losing patience. "Jerry's next event is coming up."

Adam agreed, and started to threaten Cordy again. "Last chance! Are you going to do it or not?"

"No!" Cordy refused, not budging an inch.

"So we're doing this the hard way, huh?" The man's face contorted with horrific intent, and he raised his pudgy hand, aiming it squarely on Cordy's face.

Cordy gritted her teeth—she had already bought as much time as she could.

There was no way she and Dicky could get out with so many people encircling them. Even if she could wrestle against them, she might end up hurting Dicky in the process.

Hence, she simply watched as Adam's palm swung towards her.

At the very moment Adam’s palm almost reached her face, Cordy saw a large hand catch Adam's wrist abruptly, holding his hand in place and stopping him.

Adam glowered at the hand that held him with a vice-grip and turned angrily, looking savage as he saw the other man.

After a brief moment of surprise, however, panic immediately colored his face.

Before he could say a word, John pushed him off, sending him stumbling backwards by several paces.

On the other hand, Eva didn’t recognize John immediately. Still, she could tell that Adam looked like his soul just left him, and quickly asked, "What's gotten into you, dear?"

Adam still couldn’t say a word, even as Dickly complained loudly and angrily, "Daddy, they were bullying mommy and were going to hit her. They also called me a b*st*rd and said that you'd never like mommy, and that you wouldn’t have a kid with mommy."

"His son beat me up because I won the swimming event, and he also threatened me to let him win in other events. I said no, so he put a trash can over my head and told me his father would bankrupt us!"

John's glare turned horrific right then.

Jessica had never seen him so furious, even though she spent years hovering around him.

They had left earlier, and Jessica knew that was because John wanted to let Cordy spend time with Dicky. After waiting for a long while and seeing that neither of them were coming out, John promptly made a dash to the dressing room; he was so quick Jessica almost couldn’t keep up.

He looked deathly worried that something would happen to Dicky and Cordy, and his concern was there for all to see.
