A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 413

After returning to the ballroom, Cordy and Patrick headed straight for the main entrance.

Somehow, Cordy had to admit that after a couple seemingly nonchalant rubs by John, her ankle felt much better in contrast to the pain from the sprain earlier.

Patrick narrowed his eyes at the thought of meeting the brother of his grandfather and turned toward Cordy.

"I can leave on my own," she said shortly. "Please arrange a chauffeur to send me to the airport."
