Chapter 485

Cordy regarded Jessica coolly while her body stiffened ever so slightly, a chill unwittingly running down her spine.

Even so, she repressed the terror seizing her chest and remained incredibly calm.

"Never crossed your mind that I'd go this far, have you?’ She laughed savagely. "Don't you regret dying by my hand in this fashion? I wont mind admitting trying and failing to take your life so many times, only for you to be so kind as to send yourself to my doorstep. You really shouldn't get full of yourself, y'know?"

"Do you think John would forgive you if you killed me?’ Cordy asked her.

"Would he forgive me even if I don't?" Jessica asked in return. "He'd treat me the same, and it's just better for me if I eliminated a potential threat. And who knows? With you dead, maybe he'd completely give up when there's nothing left for him."
