A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1070

John remained calm despite the cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

Given how large the study was, it was not easy trying to find some confidential documents that were probably hidden very well.

After ten minutes, John did not manage to find anything.

After twenty minutes, he still did not make any progress.

After thirty minutes…

Sweat rolled down his face and dripped down his chin.

Just then, Sean texted him. [Quick! The Lynds are about to reach home!]

John remained calm, and he calmly continued his search.

In the Cranston residence, Jean yelled angrily, "Sean, I watched you grow up and I know you to be a mature and sensible man. How could you pull such a joke on us?"

The Lynds realized that 'Jesse' was a fake and Sean had no choice but to come clean.

"Grandaunt, I came here today to confess to you the truth." Sean tried his best to drag out the time, "I've always suspected that Grandfather's incident was a deliberate act by someone, so I wanted to use this method to expose the guilty culprit. But it's been so long and I've gotten nothing. I really don't want to keep you in the dark any longer, so I'm taking the initiative to tell you the truth."

"Even so, I'm your grandfather's biological sister. How could you hide something so major from me?!"

"I'm sorry, I really didn't think this through." Sean apologized. "We had no choice either."

"So where is your grandfather right now?" Jean asked with anger in her voice.

"I sent him to another place for rest and recuperation. It's very safe there."

"Safe? Since you think that someone might want to harm your grandfather and it's clearly someone of close proximity to us, yet you don't know who he is until now, how can you say with such certainty that your grandfather is safe?" Jean questioned him.

Sean put on a look of embarrassment.
