A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1432

Quinn certainly never knew what it was about Ryan that irked her.

His success certainly could not be denied—he was the best of the best, and even the nation wanted his service.

It was not as if he was unmatched, but he appeared haughty nonetheless.

He belittled businessmen, considering them greedy and money-grubbing—that was why he was told his parents that he would not inherit the family business.

And when he socialized, he would only be flexing his knowledge, demonstrating his excellence almost by reflex.

When one put all those into consideration, the man was certainly vain—so much so that Quinn got sick of it now.

At the same time, Zoe elaborated on the various traumas Ryan left her with. "I mean, he refused to join us when we were playing as children, but he would stay nearby, making sure we could see him practicing programming on his phone. When we watch variety shows, he'd say they were fake and only people with low IQ would like them. Even when we're having snacks, he would tell us he never once ate any because snacks affect our intelligence…"

Naturally, Zoe was also less vulnerable to pick-up artist moves unlike Quinn, and she actually wondered for the longest time if there was something wrong with Ryan.

Honestly, did all the book-reading left him with a warped personality?

"Whatever, forget him." Zoe gave up soon enough. "Ryan is past tense now—just stick with Sam from now on."

"Yeah," Quinn nodded, having lost all interest in the man too.
