A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 830

Sean whipped out the lab test results on the tea leaves, which clearly stated that the substance it contained could lead to a stroke.

Everyone was shocked after they read it.

"Where did you get this, Sean?!" Even Sean's own father, Liam, was caught in disbelief.

"We gathered everything in his room and sent them for tests at the lab. The results are trustworthy."

"And you're sure Grandfather drank it?" Linus asked.

"Yes."

"What, just because you said so?! Do you even have proof?!" Linus appeared a little unnerved right then.

"I don't—but I can bring this issue to the cops. They'll find out for sure if there was deliberate harm involved," Sean said slowly and clearly.

"The cops?!" Paul cried out in agitation before Linus said anything else. "Don't you know how that would affect the family's reputation? Do you want the whole family to find out that there's discord in the family, and that someone among us wants Dad dead?!"

"What are you getting agitated for?" Sean shot Paul a sharp, judgemental look right then. "Is there something you're worried about?!"

"Watch your mouth! I'm not worried about anything—I'm concerned about the family's reputation!"

"Are you saying that we should let Grandfather die for the sake of keeping our reputation? Understand this—the first attempt on Grandfather's life failed, so there would definitely be a second. Or perhaps you would like everyone to keep living on the edge? Or are you implying that there won't be a second attempt while Grandfather is still unconscious?! We either expose the culprit, or we'd all be responsible for neglecting his safety!"

Sean's words were righteous and just, and Paul certainly had no comeback at that point.

Still, Linus quickly said, "I think this is too important for us to decide. Why don't we wait until Grandfather wakes up? I mean, he also cares a lot about the family's reputation… If you make this decision so soon and he proves unhappy about it, who will take the blame?"
