A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1385

Quinn continued, "You can't blame your parents even though I disagree with them and dislike what they said about you. But if you calm down and think, their prejudice against you is understandable—you were always messing around, while Ryan was smarter and disciplined. All we need to do is have your parents see that you're changing and doing your best, and I'm sure they'll see you in a new light in time. So instead of getting petty with them, prove yourself through your actions instead, alright?"

Sam stayed silent, so Quinn had no idea what he was thinking—it was concerning since he had always been radical, and no one could ever force him to do anything he did not like.

But now that he had changed, Quinn believed that he must not give up halfway through now.

"Sam?" she called out to him tentatively.

"I know," Sam suddenly said, leaving her perplexed.

What did he mean?

"I mean I know they won't trust me until I show results. It's my fault for being a disappointment before," Sam said with a tinge of irony and impatience, seeing the puzzled look on her face, but his anger had clearly subsided considerably.

"You weren't a disappointment. It just wasn't the right time for you to show your merits," Quinn said, doing all she could to encourage Sam. "But the time has come, and you'll leave everyone astounded."

Sam shot her a sideways glance. "You really like to stroke others' egos, huh?"

"Just stating facts," Quinn replied with a look of determination.

Sam suddenly smiled, and it was so genuine that Quinn felt delighted too.

Still, his smile soon faded, seemingly because he realized that he was doing it.

It was a long flight home, and they were heading straight to the office instead of going home for a break?

Was he really listening to her and properly doing his best now?!

"Don't give yourself too much credit—it's not for your sake," Sam suddenly growled viciously. "I'm just fed up with my parents and Ryan belittling me all the time. I'll show them how awesome I am and give them a slap in the face!"

Quinn could not help smiling—Sam was never eager to get ahead before, and he only gave up further the more they disparaged him.

But now, she had this feeling he changed for her sake… Or at the very least, he agreed to all the stuff she said.

"I'm sticking with you, Sam," she promised him right then. "We'll give them a slap in the face together!"
