A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 860

"In that case, Director Parker, did you let Zoe go through the back door during this program? Zoe was criticized heavily at the start, yet there has been a huge rise in her popularity now."

"Everyone is welcome to look back on the previous two episodes. I can beat my chest and say proudly that I did not do so, and Zoe's achievements to date are a result of her pure hard work," Jay said affirmatively. He even threatened jokingly, "Please don't frame me, Zoe won't allow me to open the back door for her. Do you want me to end up sleeping on the couch tonight?! Don't make up groundless accusations, all right?"

The reporters laughed out loud.

They have never seen such a friendly side to Jay.

He was good-natured, but he would never crack jokes.

It was indeed true that men would behave differently in front of their wives.

"How did you feel when Zoe was criticized severely at the start?" another reporter asked.

"I can only say that my heart ached for her."

"Did you consider asking Zoe to withdraw from the competition?"

"More so than the difficulties she faced, Zoe enjoyed the sense of achievement that the program brought her. Clearly, her growth and transformation due to the program is proof that she has made the right choice to stay," Jay said smoothly.

"Director Parker, may I ask your wife some questions, please?" a reporter suddenly requested.

The word 'wife' pierced through Jay's heart.

It made his heart beat quicken all of a sudden.

"Of course, you may." Jay calmed himself down as he said, "But don't be too harsh on her."

"Director Parker, you're so protective over your wife that I almost don't dare to ask her questions directly. Thank you for your grace, Director Parker. I will just ask her a few simple questions," the reporter said with a good sense of humor.
