A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 412

Alan demanded, "I've had enough of your antics for one night, John! Let go of her right now!"

"I'll return once I've sent her home!" John shot back.

"You, sending Cordy home? In front of everyone attending the Stuarts' charity ball?!" Alan barked. "Do you even understand that you're humiliating them?! If Cordy hadn't been smart enough, you would've already ruined your own reputation! I have never been this disappointed in you!"

"For once," John replied bluntly.

Alan was left bristling by John's reply right then, and his face suddenly flushed, as if he could not breathe just then.

"Please calm down, sir," Lawrence said, immediately noticing Alan's condition after serving Alan for years. "The doctors already mentioned that you shouldn't get agitated because of your high blood pressure. You've already had a stroke before, and the consequences would be devastating if it recurs…"

John calmed down slightly as well when he saw Alan's condition.

However, he was not letting go of Cordy either.

Seeing that grandfather and grandson were still very much on edge, Lawrence quickly tried to reason with John. "Sir, you know Master Levine's health has always been poor. Please don't aggravate him any further, or else…"

Even so, John was not playing along at all, and he simply told Alan, "I'll be right back."

"John!" Alan bellowed in rage. "Do you really want to see me die in front of you that badly?! Just like how you had to watch your own most beloved parents die all those years ago?!"

Alan flushed even harder after all that yelling, and he appeared to be in such bad shape he could black out the next instant.

"Master John…" Lawrence was staring at John nervously at the same time.

John's fingers twitched in turn.

No matter how determined he was, he could not leave without a care.

That was when Cordy shook his hand off—successfully this time.

Naturally, she had no complaints since families came first.
