A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1087

Sean was silent for a while, but he soon started calling his people.

There was no denying that Cordy's idea was the best one they had right now—and the longer they delayed, the less ideal the final outcome would be.

In fact, Cordy was right—things looked bad for John no matter what happened, and the only thing they could do now was not waste his sacrifice.

Everything was ready in ten minutes, though Sean turned to look at Cordy and asked, "Are we really doing this?"

Cordy nodded.

This was their only option—get the document, and John just might get a shot at survival.

And with that, Sean barked into his phone, "Go."

"Yes, Mr. Cranston."

And in just half an hour, Lynd Manor was covered in flames.

-

The towering inferno seemed to ignite out of nowhere.

It started outside the Lynd Manor compound, but with the electric fences as well as the lush vegetation, the fire only continued to build up.

Within the manor, the servants were crying, "Fire! Fire! The compound is on fire!"

But Nana did not say a word, because stopping the fire right now, judging from the state of the flames… It was just impossible.

The only choice was to run.

At the instant she turned to leave, Keith was barking at the servants to extinguish the flames and call the firemen while retreating into the living room.

"Mom, the whole place is on fire and the building will soon be too. We can't stay here—it's not safe," Kyle said quickly and urgently.

Jean slammed her palm down violently on the tea table, her sudden outburst leaving everyone in deafening silence while the fire continued to crack resoundingly outside.

"What a bunch of spineless worms! Do you think we'd all just capitulate in a single day?!" she snapped viciously, her eyes red with sheer defiance. "To think Lucas alone would push us this far!"
