A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1094

Bright flames and thick smoke were everywhere around him when Patrick suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He thought he saw Sean with two of his bodyguards and clearly holding a document.

However, he was not moving—because he could not.

Patrick gulped, but kept his distance… because Sean was staring at the rifle in Jean's hand, aimed squarely at them.

He had taken off his helmet as well, probably because Jean forced him.

"So it really was you, Sean Cranston!" She laughed darkly and asked calmly, "When did you find out it was me?"

Patrick's heart skipped a beat.

The fire was getting everywhere, and it could kill anyone in an instant.

And yet, Jean remained so calm and unaffected…

In other words, she never expected to survive!

The possibility was certainly there when one thought about it—Lynd Manor was basically empty when they rushed in, meaning that the rest of the family had already evacuated.

There was no telling where they left, but they were gone… and yet, Jean stayed behind.

Patrick gritted his teeth.

Did Jean want to bring them down with her to protect the rest of the Lynds?!

Nonetheless, he refrained from moving just then.

Meanwhile, Sean answered Jean's question. "Just recently."

"And how did you find out?" Jean was actually puzzled—she had been so discreet, but Sean found out anywhere.

"No one other than your family was capable of this."
