A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 397

Chapter 397

Scores of people were gathered outside the Stuarts' charity ball even before the main event; there

were countless scores of journalists, fans, spectators, and security personnel.

It was a grand sight that could beat any celebrity gala.

Soon, a black Rolls Roys stopped at the edge of the red carpet. Inside, Patrick was watching Cordy,

who sat beside him.

He was with her as she got changed after they left the hospital, and she was breathtaking in that

emerald gown-no man could resist staring.

And yet, Patrick wasn't any man-he showed focus, and remained respectfully distant with Cordy.

"Shall we?" he asked.

Cordy pursed her lips, a little emotional.

She came, pulling every trick in her book in doing so, even though John did all he could to stop her.

She had no idea how he would react when he saw her...but she was not obliged to care, either.

"Okay,” she said confidently, looking up at Patrick.

A faint light shone over her black eyes; they dazzled like the stars, leaving Patrick mesmerized.

"What?” Cordy asked, her brow raised.

Patrick came to his senses, and flashed a rather vague smile.

With a look, the bodyguard riding shotgun alighted and walked over to his door, opening it for him.

He got out, and stood in his upright gait as he drew countless journalists.

Cameras were flashing endlessly on him while he walked around to the other side, opening the door

and offering a hand like a true gentleman.

A fair, dainty hand was gently placed upon his; everyone present held their breaths in anticipation of

who the woman would be.

Who could Patrick Stuart have brought to the gala, and dote on, even?!

After all, Patrick had never been seen with any woman in public. He was never caught in scandals, and

there were even speculations of his preferences. Even if James Stuart-Patrick's counterpart in the

other Stuart family branch-never married, paparazzis had managed to take photos of James's private

rendezvous with several ladies, though said person in question never admitted to it on any occasion.

On the other hand, Patrick steered clear of such things.

Therefore, everyone was eagerly anticipating who the lady could be.

Amidst the spotlight, a woman so beautiful it was unreal alighted elegantly.

Cordy Sachs!

Everyone recognized her almost immediately, for her beauty was undoubtedly unique to herself. There

was no confirmation needed either, because no celebrity in showbiz could trump her grace.

Though her gown for the night was subtle, it accentuated her stunning charm to the last.

Whenever she took the stage, she never disappointed.

She was already a top fashion designer, and even in private, thousands of patrons of luxury fashion

were competing to offer her a free sponsorship just to get a gown of her design.

And now here she was, putting her hand around Patrick's arm as they strode up the red carpet.
