A Life Debt Repaid

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!

Naturally, as Noel was sneering inwardly, Jessica also felt delighted.

After all, she sent instructions beforehand that no one was to bid for Cordy, just to humiliate Cordy.

Thus, Jessica was actually surprised that Cordy seemed to have read her mind and gave such a grandiose speech beforehand, so that Cordy wouldn't look so bad even if no one auctioned for her in the end.

Be that as it may, Cordy would still be humiliated regardless —and even more so once word of this gets out.

"Is no one bidding?" Jessica exclaimed in surprise, appearing caught in disbelief.
