A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1400

Quinn stared at Ryan quietly, suspicion lurking just beneath her eyes.

She had always trusted Ryan ever since they were children, convinced that he was more mature than their peers, smarter, and more protective of her.

Now, however, she suddenly started wondering if she had misunderstood something about him.

In fact, she thought his behavior at the moment was so childish she had no idea where to start.

She certainly had no idea how Ryan could say something so easily, especially when he obviously knew that she and Sam were married. She had also repeatedly told him that she was doing fine with Sam at the moment too, and that there was no way she would rekindle her relationship with Ryan.

Moreover, Ryan also obviously knew that as Saunderia's acting board chairman, Sam's decisions would decide Saunderia's development. He especially needed Quinn's help since he was under huge pressure.

And yet, Ryan brazenly spouted such thoughtless words and appeared so selfish!

On the other hand, Ryan scowled since Quinn stayed silent. "What, is there an issue?"

"Are you really here to work, Ryan?" Quinn asked bluntly. "Or perhaps you think so lowly of Sam that you're dead sure he can't manage Saunderia at all and came to keep an eye on him?!"

"Of course I'm here to work." Ryan snorted. "Why else would I apply for leave, put aside my important research work, and come here?! And yes, I do think lowly of Sam. I'm sure he's not going to do well—if anything, he'll get full of himself and throw his weight around if he accomplishes anything at all. Saunderia will not survive his abuse."

"I somehow get this feeling that you don't want him to succeed," Quinn muttered.

Why else would Ryan insult Sam like that or be so intent in taking her away from Sam?

Forget her abilities—she knew Saunderia better than Sam, and she always gave her very best to the company without any ulterior motives.
