A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1086

Doug was the person Jean trusted most.

One might even say that she trusted Doug more than her own family in this manner, which was why she did not question his words.

She thought then that it was fortunate that Nana was rational enough that love did not cloud her mind, and she picked her family rather than her man.

Otherwise, she would not stand there alive!

Jean's eyes narrowed, and she barked, "Keep looking! It wouldn't have disappeared into thin air!"

"Yes, ma'am."

There was only silence in the black car outside Lynd Manor, and the skies were slowly turning dark.

Cordy asked Sean, "Have you any idea how we'd get in to retrieve the document?"

Sean shook his head—barging in was clearly impossible.

With the Lynds in high alert, both sides would only lose.

There was even less chance for them to find some reason to get inside—this was a critical period for the Lynds. Not even a fly would be allowed in, let alone them.

In fact, making a move now would only arouse the Lynds' suspicion, and they would not make it out if they really went in.

Nonetheless, Cordy spoke calmly just then. "John must have hidden the document very well, but the Lynds would eventually find it even if they can't do it right now. And before that happens, no one gets to enter or leave Lynd Manor—there is only one option to drive them out of there."

She remained rational even now, focusing entirely on how to retrieve the vital document as if she took no notice that John's fate was unknown.

"How?" Sean asked her, always knowing how smart she was, but she always surprised him nonetheless.
