Chapter 494

In the visitor's room, Jessica was staring tearfully at John, but he remained indifferent.

"Was it worth it? Doing this for Cordy?” she eventually asked.

"It has nothing to do with her," John replied. "The situation simply calls for it."

"I know you did it for her," Jessica said staunchly.

"I wont joke around when my life is on the line."

"You'd die for her!"

John became silent at that, whereas Jessica laughed even as tears flowed down her cheeks, making

her appear lunatic.

"Did you know, John?" she asked. "I'm getting engaged again."

John blinked.

It appeared he still had some feelings left in him.

On the other hand, Jessica's tears flowed freely as she continued, but she seemed to feel nothing.

"That's my family for you-everyone is a tool the moment they're born. My parents, myself and my

brother are no

exceptions. I’ve always thought I've been blessed with a family like this, that even though I had no

freedom in life and I don't get to choose who I marry, it was someone I loved anyway."

"It wouldn't matter even if you didn't love me-l'd be content with just having you with me after we're

married...so how could you do this to me?! How am I less than Cordy Sachs?! I met you before she did,

I've been with you far longer than she had been, and I love you more than she ever would! Why cant

you love me? Why do you refuse to even look at me?"

John's gaze remained aloof and he never reacted, while Jessica was talking herself into a nervous

breakdown.

The instant John was taken away, she wanted to interrogate him immediately after.

Even so, the family kept her under a tight leash and forbade her from leaving. Her grandfather only let

her leave after she agreed to marry another man, allowing her to see John.

"I'm sorry," John finally said.

Jessica gasped-he only said two cool words after she had said so much?!

She laughed as she glared at him. "You'd rather die than marry me now, don't you?! I shall repay you

the favor!"

"You better don't," John's expressions turned cold.

"You forced me into this!" Jessica shrieked.

"You'd better watch yourself if you want your family to survive," John threatened.

Jessica laughed. "What if I say no?"

"Then you'd suffer more than you did now."

"And who would make me suffer? You?!" Jessica scoffed. "Your worst choice ever was not marrying

me, John Levine! You're nothing without my family's protection, and the ones you want to protect would

suffer too!"

"You better think about what you're going to do!" John glowered.

Jessica stared at him.

He had only been indifferent towards her, yet he would turn against her over Cordy Sachs?!

"You will regret this!" Jessica laughed savagely, wiped her tears, and stormed outside.

John watched coldly as she left, his knuckles clenching.

Cordy received a call from Alan on the way back to her apartment.

"Cordy Sachs," his stern voice spoke from the other end.

"Mr. Levine," Cordy replied politely.

"Please come to my manor. I'll be waiting."

Cordy's fingers clenched on her steering wheel-the memory of Alan whisking her off to Levine Manor

before was still fresh in her memory.

"Okay," she agreed to it nonetheless.

The only reason she did was to get Dicky and take him away.

Moreover, after John had done so much for his sake, Alan would at least show John some due respect

and refrain from hurting her.

It was all now water under the bridge, and they just had to go along as things developed.
