Chapter 407

The ballroom was rather silent after Jessica had spoken, with no one raising their paddle.

Noel had at first been upset since Cordy's speech left her humiliated, but seeing this felt cathartic.

It was Cordy's own fault for playing up her virtue-it would be far more humiliating as a woman if no one made a bid for you!
