A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1045

"So, can you bind me with moral coercion for the rest of my life just because of what you contributed to me?" Jay demanded coldly.

Sitting beside him, Zoe was stunned.

Frankly, she did not know if it was some kind of psychological shadow that was troubling her all that while, but she was always in awe of Nancy.

Although she encouraged Jay to pick up the call just now, it was because she did not want Nancy to pester them relentlessly. She knew Nancy too well, and Nancy would never give up until she achieved her goal. If Jay did not answer the call, she would not stop calling him. At last, she might even go to his house.

Zoe even mentally prepared herself the moment Jay answered the call. Jay was not Nancy's opponent again, and he would only be vigorously rebuked by Nancy. She even made up her mind to brace herself and helped Jay to stand against Nancy.

Unexpectedly, Jay was so powerful.

"Moral coercion? Do you even know what that is? We're a family. Jay, both you and I share the blood of the Levine family. Zoe is just an outsider!" Nancy became agitated.

She was used to feeling superior from when she was young. All she ever heard were praises showered on her. No one had ever treated her that way, so she could not accept it.

Similarly, she could not accept it because of Jay's companionship.

All the Levines cared deeply about their family relationship.

Even if Jay was not a Levine back then, he was brought home by Alan, so all Levines were very nice to him.

That was the influence of the family they grew up in.

But now, Jay wanted to fall out with Nancy for the sake of a woman.

As a result, Nancy flared up in a rage.

"She isn't an outsider. She's my wife, sis!" Jay suddenly addressed Nancy that way.

Zoe nearly never heard Jay address her that way.

In her impression, he rarely addressed Alan as his father, and he also rarely addressed Nancy as his sister.

When he addressed her that way at that instant, Zoe felt inexplicably melancholic.

"I made myself very clear during the press conference just now. I wasn't trying to threaten or slander you. Everything I did is just the responsibility a husband should fulfill. If you don’t approve of it or can't accept it, we can cut off our relationship. If you still want to control me or hurt the person most important to me, I'll risk everything to fight you to the death!" Jay said aloofly. "Everything I did today represented my determination!"
