A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 531

Cordy became nervous right then. "Sean did? But why?"

She was convinced that John liquidated the Levines' family estate to protect themselves and steer clear from more conflicts. She thought that John, like his grandfather, was done with the vicissitudes of life and would rather enjoy whatever they had left instead.

She did not expect that the Cranstons were involved at all!

"You should be able to guess," John reminded her despite seeing her reaction.

Cordy's heart skipped a beat—that was the answer she least wanted.

"Yes," John said slowly and clearly. "He's asking me to work for him, but he needs me to have a more discreet capacity to assist him, and Levine Ventures draws too much attention."

"Assist him?" Cordy asked. "With what? What are his ambitions?"

"Well, the Cranstons have a family dispute just like the Stuarts," John explained. "The Stuarts' disputes are between different branches of the family, whereas the Cranston brothers are in the midst of a power struggle. Sean wants me to help him neutralize his brothers, so that he becomes the undisputed heir to the family estate."

"Wait, wasn't he the heir already?" Cordy asked.

All the rumors certainly claimed that, since Sean was the eldest son and the family held him in high esteem.

Most importantly, he displayed individual excellence and was the right choice as heir.

"I don't know the specific right now." John shrugged. "I'd have to get involved to find out."

"Can't you just stay out of it?" Cordy asked him worriedly. "Don't get involved at all while we enjoy life on our own?"

"I'll do my best to get free as soon as I can," John promised.
