A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49

Under the same moon, Zoe York was sent home to Levine Manor, looking utterly discontent.

She made a call even as she walked inside. “Quinn! Why didn’t you attend my maternal grandfather’s party with your darling Sam Poodle?”

“I’m busy-I was working overtime.”

“Why do you slave for the Saunders, really? Do you think Sam would be grateful? He has so many women on the side!”

“I’m not doing it for Sam. It’s for myself.”

“You’re stubborn.”

Zoe strode up to the second floor and nonchalantly opened a door, holding her phone between her cheek and shoulder while she reached behind to unzip her gown.

She had to take off the uncomfortable gown, but just as her zipper reached her waist, the bathroom door swung open.

Jay Parker stood frozen at the doorway.

Zoe panicked for just a split second, but she soon pretended she saw nothing and continued to undress calmly while continuing to speak into the phone. “Either way, Sam doesn’t deserve your sacrifice.”

“I know.”

“Oh, I also called to tell you that I’m shooting a TV series in North City. Let’s meet up when you’re free.”

“Sure.”

“I’m already home. Quit working overtime already and go to bed soon.”

“Yeah. Bye.”

Once she hung up, Zoe turned and found Jay with his back to her, his ears already red.

She sneered and said nonchalantly, “You’ve been with every kind of woman there is, Mr. Parker. Why are you acting like a virgin?!”

Jay pursed his lips and explained why he was there. “There’s a leak in my bathroom. I didn’t know you were coming back.”

“My dear brother forced me to come home.” Zoe snorted. “Shouldn’t you be with Mandy Jessop for the night? Didn’t know you were that quick.”

Jay’s Adam’s apple was bobbing, but Zoe simply said that as an offhand remark-she did not

expect an answer from Jay. “Anyway, I’m drowsy. It’s time for my bath and beauty sleep, so please leave if you’re done with the bathroom, Uncle Jay.”
