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.

As such, she could walk much better now.

That was when Patrick made a joke. "I didn’t think you were that compliant, Ms. Sachs."

Naturally, he was referring to her giving in to John's insistence.

However, she was not being compliant or anything-she simply decided to leave and therefore had no reason to drag her feet.

But before they could really leave, a man suddenly appeared out of nowhere, greeting Patrick respectfully. "Mr. Stuart, Mr. William Stuart would like to see you now. Could you please come with me?"

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."

Patrick hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay."
