A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 998

There was no doubt about what happened back in the banquet hall. With that, Sean continued, "That's why I didn’t stop to gather more proof, and instead called in our people who had been working in the banquet hall undercover to get us out right away. We moved so quickly we were already safely outside before the Lynds could stop us. They had to give up, or they'd be exposed. I then arranged for 'Grandfather' to be taken home, though I soon noticed that you're not around and quickly sent help."

Cordy's eyes flashed with anger—there was no question about it now.

She wasn’t in the list of people that the Lynds wanted dead, and one could even say that they only wanted Jesse Cranston dead. However, while they wouldn’t go out their way to target any other individuals, they would welcome the prospect of killing any other Cranston along with Jesse.

It was only Nana who wanted Cordy dead.

"Just rest," Sean told Cordy. "There's still much to discuss after this. For one, I don't get why Jean would want Grandfather dead. I mean, was it because of power and wealth? Why would she suddenly turn bloodthirsty after so many years?"

Cordy actually was stumped as well—there was no question that the Lynds wanted Jesse Cranston dead, but why?

Still, it was perhaps an answer only the Lynds would know.

Knowing that, Cordy closed her eyes, intent on resting.

She had just cheated death today, and had to admit she was still a little traumatized.

She needed time to adjust herself.

"Patrick, come with me," Sean suddenly said.

"I'm staying with Cordy," Patrick snapped in annoyance. He wasn’t going anywhere, since he was too worried to let Cordy out of his sight after what happened today.

Sean could go anywhere he liked!

Nonetheless, Sean told him, "That bump on the back of your head needs to be checked."

Patrick realized right then that he was swelling where he was struck on the head.

"Ow!" He couldn’t help but wince when he touched it, his face immediately contorting in pain.

"Alright, that's enough talking. I've arranged four bodyguards to watch Cordy's door 24/7 anyway, so nothing's going to happen."
