A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 859

Jay paused for a while before going on, saying, "Our daughter is now three years old and is more independent right now, which is why I encouraged Zoe to pursue her dreams again and accept the director's invitation to join Actors on Set. Of course, the production team did not know about our relationship when they invited us and I selfishly did not inform the director. I did it in hopes of bringing Zoe back into the public spotlight through this platform, giving her the leverage she needed to return to her glorious past. She has sacrificed too much for me over the past few years."

"I hereby sincerely apologize for taking up so much public resources because of things between Zoe and I. I would also like to take this chance to apologize to all staff members of Actors on Set for not being honest about my relationship with Zoe to the production team because of my selfish intentions. The production team invited both Zoe and I to the program without any prior awareness about our relationship, and they were unable to make any efforts to avoid the current situation. I officially announce that from now on, I will no longer take part in the filming of Actors on Set. Please forgive me for the inconveniences I've caused to the production team."

Jay stood up from his seat and bowed to the cameras.

He straightened up and sat back down before saying, "I have said whatever I wish to say. Everyone, please take turns to raise your questions. Thank you once again."

The moment he stopped talking, a reporter jumped in to ask, "Director Parker, is it really true that you've been secretly married to Zoe for four years? There has been no scandal whatsoever between the both of you over the past four years."

"I've already mentioned that we were married in secret. Of course, we wouldn't leak a secret." Jay chuckled. "I knew you guys wouldn't believe it, so I even brought our marriage certificate. May I ask one of the staff members to take it out and show it to everyone here? Please take good care of it and don't wreck it, I only have one marriage certificate."

Jay's little joke made everyone burst out laughing.

Someone teased, "Director Parker, do you place so much importance on that document?"

Someone else added, "Who said he places importance on the document? It's the person he cares about!"

Everyone burst out laughing once more.

Zoe clenched her fists tighter.

She felt so awkward that she wanted to dig a hole the size of Jay's bungalow and bury herself in it.

She truly did not understand how Jay could bring himself to say something so mushy so naturally.

The staff member showed everyone the marriage certificate and carefully returned it to Jay.

Jay placed it into the inner pocket of his jacket carefully in front of everyone.
