Sean said a little feebly, "Either way, that means we can't work on Steven.""That's not set in stone," Cordy argued. "Even if we can't get anything on his accounts, we can keep tabs on his whereabouts. There’s no doubt the mysterious person would contact Steven again. Personally, I don't think a lawyer would take up such a huge risk just for money. He must have a stake in terms of sentiment as well. It’s generally how most people are blinded, especially with money being icing on the cake.""Alright." Sean agreed to the plan without hesitation. "I'll arrange for my people to keep an eye on him in secret, and I’ll also look into his social circles to see if we can find any clues.""Right." Cordy nodded. "Well, I actually have a cruder and more violent idea.""I expect it to be violent, but not cruder." Sean chuckled—Cordy was as calm as she was meticulous, and any ideas she had would have been thought through thoroughly. "Get the cops involved," Cordy revealed her plan without a

Dicky was actually a little surprised—his daddy used to consider him nothing but a brat, but the man now treated him like an equal.He had wanted to win his father’s acknowledgment for a while, but his daddy was just too formidable. Thus, he couldn’t do much.However, the one thing he might be better than his daddy was in making his mommy happy."What do you think?" Lucas replied, as if it was only natural. "Okay. I’ll come by later.""Sure."And with that, they agreed to meet. Meanwhile, Cordy didn’t even get a word in.In fact, Dicky couldn’t wait to leave. "Mommy, I want to go play with Lucas!""I'm worried about leaving you alone with a stranger," Cordy said, finally getting a reasonable excuse."Lucas isn't a stranger—he's Daddy," Dicky said with conviction.Cordy kept staring at him in silence, and he gave in. "Fine, he's not at the moment. But he's no stranger either—we've met many times.""Do you know this is how human traffickers kidnap children?'Dicky was a litt

When Cordy tapped into the camera, she never expected to see Dicky helping Lucas shower.Her eyes were burning from the not-quite family-friendly scene. And what does Lucas take her son for, ordering him around like that?!Cordy was reeling from rage, even as the scene of the screen left her flushing. How could that man be so shameless?Cordy promptly turned off the screen, but not before having a clear view of the scene before her.It therefore remained clear and stuck in her mind…Hold on.Cordy's eyes narrowed, and her cheeks which reddened from anger and embarrassment slowly turned pale.She remembered Lucas's appearance, and felt a pang of familiarity.Her hands were shaking as she turned on the camera again, but Lucas had already changed into a bathrobe and Dicky was helping him out of the bathroom.Cordy's heart was racing, as she felt skeptical and was afraid of holding any expectations. She feared she couldn’t suffer the pain of disappointment.And yet… Was the

Growling through his teeth, Lucas demanded, "Are you that much of a pervert, Cordy?!"Forget stripping his bathrobe—she was trying to pull off his boxes, all while Dicky was watching! His cheeks were so hot one could cook an egg on it; though he knew he shouldn’t see it, he couldn’t pry his eyes away from curiosity…Stop. Lucas quickly realized his thoughts had strayed too far off, and this was far from the point—he was supposed to be stopping Cordy from taking off his boxers!Cordy in turn came to her senses, as if she finally realized what she was actually doing…but all she wanted was the truth!On the other hand, she meant nothing to Lucas, especially since she was molesting her while repeatedly claiming that she despised him before."Are you possessed or something?!" he demanded, and firmly tried to push her away.But she held fast, because she wanted the truth—to find out if Lucas was John Levine.The thought filled her chest with agony and she remembered John, but the

Lucas had never experienced such a move from Cordy.He was in his wheelchair, and with one of his hands keeping a tight grip on his boxers, he couldn’t push her away with his free hand. All he could feel at that moment was her wild, searing kiss.It wasn’t as if they had never kissed before. That one time, he couldn’t resist doing it as Cordy was reeling from rage back then.What was more, that time felt totally different from this kiss…because right now, he had no desire to push her away.In fact, he was starting to get hot and bothered.Even if Cordy was awful at kissing, and one might describe it as rough and uncouth—his heart was beginning to beat endlessly with a sense of anticipation he couldn’t describe. No! He must not fall for this woman's seduction! Lucas warned himself then that he had a girlfriend, and this behavior was cheating.His morals wouldn’t allow it!Yet even as he was about to push her off for good, his body suddenly stiffened. Did she… Did she just

Dicky mentioned that Lucas was amnesiac… So, that was true? Was he hit in the head and subsequently lost his memories when the bomb struck?He had reconstructive surgery on the face because it was necessary, since he was terribly wounded there.But Lucas's dossier that Sean had given her…it couldn’t have been fake.What on earth had gone wrong? Was this man John Levine or not?! Nonetheless, Cordy's tears started streaming as if she had lost herself—she was feeling so conflicted, and she was unsure if she should be happy or agonized."Hey, you don't have to go that far!" Lucas was shocked by her sudden crying.In previous confrontations, neither of them really came up on top… But now, Cordy was there in front of him, crying!He didn’t say anything out of line today, either!Usually, he would’ve paid her back in full, especially since they used to be constantly at each other's necks. Yet now, he was speechless to see her suddenly crying. "Look, you're the one who molested me a

Lucas continued his rant, his anger rising steadily the entire time. "I have a fiancee and we're supposed to get married soon, and we've been together for three years! Somehow, that’s no match for the three months I’ve met you, and now, I’m going to be scum! Fuck! What is it about you that draws me to you, that I’d fall so hard for you?!"He was blaming Cordy for everything, even though she was always so harsh to him and never tried to seduce him—ever.Yet he fell for her, anyway. Was he some sort of masochist?! "Say something!" he snarled furiously, feeling a little creeped out as Cordy continued to gape at him.Cordy came to her senses, since her mind was still processing whether Lucas was John Levine.Everything he said never crossed her mind, and it was certainly not the fact that he was engaged."Say what?" she asked blankly.Lucas almost had a heart attack.She managed to bewitch him after coming over to seduce him, and now, she wasn’t going to claim responsibility?!
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 796
Lucas was absolutely livid. "You better explain yourself, Cordy! Why the hell did you take my hair—"He looked up, only to find that Cordy was already gone.Fuck! Lucas could blow up from sheer rage—she left right after she was done flirting? Where was her sense of responsibility?!He rushed straight into the bathroom, dousing himself with cold water to cool off. -On the other hand, Cordy wasn’t actually as calm as she appeared as she left Lucas's room.In fact, she was worried she would lose control.Now, the priority was to confirm Lucas's identity with no uncertainty.Dicky's paternity test failed before, but the boy claimed that the sample was the issue. She didn’t think much of it at the time, and was convinced that he was just being obsessed.But at this very moment, she believed Dicky completely.She returned to her hotel room to find Dicky on the couch, watching TV.He beamed when he saw her return. "Welcome back, Mommy."Cordy stared at him, her fingers clenc

Soon, another nurse emerged from the delivery room with a small bundle. "Is the mother's family here?""Yes!" John exclaimed loudly."The delivery was successful," the nurse said. "The baby weighs eight pounds—""How is she?" John asked in agitation, not caring about the child."She's fine. The doctor is just helping her clean up and she'll be out soon," the nurse replied.As John breathed a sigh of relief, the nurse reminded him, "Aren't you the father? Here's your child."John took the baby off her arms, staring at her for a moment as the others flocked around him. "Oh, she's so fair!" Zoe could not help exclaiming. "That's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen.""Are you saying that your son's ugly?" Bob teased."To be honest, yeah," Zoe replied without thinking.Jay cleared his throat—even if it was a subjective opinion, it still hurt to have his own baby called ugly."Let me carry her," Zoe volunteered just then, and John did not hesitate to hand her his baby.As Zoe

"What?!" Zoe exclaimed in shock.Beside them, John's face fell despite being usually stoic.Still, even before anyone could react, he scooped Cordy up in his arms and left.Zoe did not hesitate to follow, but Jay reminded her, "We're the hosts, Zoe.""Don't care." Zoe was completely unconcerned. "Ask my mom and your sister to handle the guests. I'm going with Cordy!"Jay hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow since there was no reasoning with Zoe.Sam and Quinn also realized that something was out of place.As they pulled away reluctantly, Bob shouted from below, "If you're done kissing, we're going to the hospital! Cordy's going into labor!"Quinn hurried after them as soon as she hurt, but Sam caught her. "Slow down. We can catch up."In fact, most of the guests were leaving as well—it was as if the banquet for Zoe's son was actually intended for everyone else.The poor boy was certainly unlucky to have such unreliable parents!-As everyone rushed to the hospit

"I'm swelling from my pregnancy," Quinn explained. "It's not your fault."Sam was left staring at her for a while before asking, "So, what should I do?""I'll put it on when I slim down.""Oh." Sam was a little disappointed, since he had always dreamed of having her put on the ring he had custom made.But this was fine—they had all the time they needed, and the most important thing for him is that Quinn was marrying him!He rose to his feet just then, and everyone was cheering as soon as he did. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"Quinn blushed right then, and Sam could see that she was embarrassed.He did not want to make things awkward for her, even if he was quite eager at the moment.Heaven knows how much he missed that night's drunken fumble they had. In fact, during the times he remembered it in dreams, he had to wash his pants when he woke up.Still, just as he took Quinn's hand and started to leave, he felt a softness on his lips—Quinn was kissing him! Sam's heart pounded thunderous

Everyone waited patiently for the final outcome.Quinn's eyes were welling up with tears, threatening to gush if she so much as blinked.She did her best to hold back her tears—to be strong!Sam pursed his lips in turn, his Adam's apple bobbing.A long while passed, and it felt like a century for Quinn when she finally heard him say, "Yes."Quinn's tears started falling in happiness as Sam declared loudly, "I'll marry you, Quinn—it's what I've always wanted to do! I won't let you go even if you regret it eventually! You only get to be with me, and I'll never let any other man claim you! I'll become very overbearing… eventually!""I won't regret it," Quinn said, determined.She certainly would not regret marrying him!Zoe walked up to them with perfect timing just then, and Sam did a double take.He finally remembered that Zoe was the host of this luncheon and was going to leave with Quinn when Zoe whipped out a small red velvet box."You know what's in here, don't you?" Zoe a

However, Sam had already pushed Quinn away before she could tell him. But even if he did not love her or did not want to be with her, she would never stay with Ryan.She had been disappointed in Sam, wondering why he would give up so easily.Was she that unimportant to him?Therefore, if it were not for Zoe and Cordy showing her that video or telling her so much, she would never have known that he loved her for years…Sam's heart ached even as he looked into Quinn's tearful eyes.He reached out a hand, but soon withdrew it—would he not burden her?Even so, it hurt to restrain himself as he watched her, and he was actually getting the feeling that Quinn loved him…But she already had Ryan's child…Well, he was fine with that, as long as the child was Quinn's.But would she not mind?"I will marry you, Sam," Quinn said slowly and clearly then. "Not because you're a good man, not because you prepared so much for me, and not because of how much you prepared for me, but because I

Everyone in the hall was staring at Sam and Quinn, while Quinn took center stage, staring fixedly at Sam.He stood in the middle of the crowd, watching her silently.She in turn felt fear that he would turn and leave, just as she did not know if she had the courage to stand before him again and to declare her feelings for him in front of so many others.Nonetheless, amid the deafening silence, Sam suddenly walked toward the stage.His pace was slow as if his feet were made of lead, but he was also unusually determined.Quinn's heart raced uncontrollably right then!Everyone else was watching them nervously, especially Cordy and Zoe, with the latter being especially concerned that the cowardly Sam would bail.Fortunately, he was a man who showed responsibility. He would not leave Quinn alone and embarrassed.Hence, as everyone looked on, Sam stood before Quinn, his gaze flickering as their eyes met.He gulped ever so slightly, his emotions clearly ruffled even as he did his bes

The guests were encouraging, loudly asking, "Why?!""Because of a woman," Sam's recording replied."Who is it?""Quinn Summer," the Sam on the screen said slowly and clearly, leaving the Sam who was in the hall stunned.What the hell?! That was the proposal video he prepared before! Why did it show up here? Did Zoe make a mistake?!He knew it—leave anything to Zoe, and she would mess it up!He started striding toward the stage, intent on stopping the recording, when John and Bob intercepted him with a look of utter guilt while the recording continued. "Quinn is my wife, and we've been married for years, but I've never really loved her—not because I don't, but because I'm afraid to. I feel too insignificant in comparison to the one she loves, so I'd always hurt her… painfully and childishly. I regret that so much now, Quinn. How could I have abandoned you for so long because of my own jealousy? I'd rather hold you in my sleep every night, but my damned pride denied me that for y

At the banquet hall, Jay and Zoe were thanking their guests with their children in their arms.Then, Zoe announced excitedly, "Please give my best friend, who is also my son's godmother, a warm applause as she comes on stage!"Sam stood at a corner of the hall, watching as Quinn walked up the stage, only realizing just then that her belly was clearly swelling despite her baggy clothes.Time flies—he had not left that long ago, but she and Ryan already had a child.She was not worried about giving him a stroke, was she?He watched as Quinn took the mic and looked around below searching, seemingly searching.After a while, he thought she was looking at him, but by the time he looked up, she had already turned away.Maybe she was looking for Ryan before remembering that Ryan was not there?Nonetheless, Quinn spoke into the mic, saying, "I'm honored to be chosen as the godmother to Zoe's son, and she's been saying he'd be engaged to my child if it's a girl. I already love my godson

As their eyes met, Sam turned frantic and averted his. "Of course.""Really?" Quinn asked."Would I lie to you?" Sam asked a little grumpily."And you didn't bring her back?" Quinn asked."I'm on a schedule, and it'd be taxing for her if I bought her along," Sam said, making things up as he went along. "I'll bring her along when things are less busy.""Is she pretty?" Quinn pressed."What, have I ever picked an ugly one?" Sam snorted smugly. "You know I prefer curvaceous types, and there are plenty of those abroad.""Do you have a photo?"Sam was silent for a while and eventually said, "Yeah.""Can I see it?""What, does she have to pass your assessment?""Just curious about the girl who can tempt you to settle down," Quinn replied. "You'd be humbled." Sam hastily came up with an excuse."I won't," Quinn said, determined."You'll see her when I bring her home." Sam refused nonetheless."I would like to see a photo now.""No, she's not that photogenic. It'd be slander a
