A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 858
They looked like they were in a couple’s outfit.After both of them were dressed and ready, they sat in a car and drove to the venue of the press conference.Representatives from hundreds of news outlets were cramped in the venue and there were people everywhere.This was the first time since Zoe fell from her A-list status that she felt so 'popular' on such a large scale.She was beginning to wonder if news of Yelena being exposed was a blessing in disguise.Zoe held Jay's arm and entered the room.Jay hobbled in on his walking stick, making it look as if Zoe was supporting him.Everyone was shocked to see Jay in the room. Why was he here at Zoe's press conference?Of course, the media knew that Jay and Zoe were both on Actors on Set, and Jay was Zoe's mentor.But even so, was there a need for her mentor to appear in person?Since when did Jay put in so much effort for his celebrities?Jay did appreciate Zoe's acting skills in the program, and Zoe did not disappoint him. Sh

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 me to the program without any prior awareness of our relationship, a

"In that case, Mr. 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 wi

Everyone at the press conference were in awe and admiration as they expressed their blessings to Zoe when she said that she did not have any regrets.She did not say much, and she said it casually, but through her words, everyone could sense the beauty of their relationship.The key was the happiness in Jay's smile as he sat next to Zoe.Everyone could tell that he was in a fabulous mood.And that was despite the fact that Jay was one who never wore his heart on his sleeve.They must really, really love each other.The reporters' reactions made Zoe suddenly feel awkward.She simply followed what Jay had prepared for her to say. Did they need to react so strongly?She suddenly felt inexplicably shy at that moment."Mrs. Parker, why did you decide to make a comeback then? Is it really because of your passion for the industry?" the reporter asked."Yes, it is." Zoe nodded. "It's been my dream to be an actor since childhood, and I've sacrificed a lot for this dream of mine. Altho

Jay unlocked the door with his fingerprint.Suddenly, he thought of something. "Zoe, come and leave a record of your fingerprint.""There's no need for that. Just tell me the passcode." Zoe found it troublesome if she had to delete her fingerprint after a while."You're not good with numbers and always forget your passcode. Recording your fingerprint will be more convenient," Jay insisted.Zoe kept feeling that Jay had become more aggressive nowadays.In the past, as long as she rejected him, he would usually just accept it."It won't take long, and it's not troublesome at all," Jay added.Zoe did not want to argue with Jay over something so trivial, so she walked over and recorded her fingerprint with Jay's help.After making sure that she could open the door with her fingerprint, Jay finally walked through the door with Zoe.He even said, "Let your mom record her fingerprint later, too."Zoe paused for a moment.His address of Clara as her mom had never been used in descri

"Calm down, Mom." Even Cora was frightened by Nancy's reaction.It had been a while since Nancy threw a temper like this.She was furious.She trembled with anger when she saw news about Jay and Zoe being married and even having a child between them.How could she accept Jay and Zoe being together?!How could she allow Zoe to appear before her once more? Zoe's existence was a humiliation and a blemish in her life. In her entire life, she wanted nothing more than to destroy Zoe!"Jay Parker, I order you to divorce Zoe immediately and announce to the media that you have nothing to do with her!" Nancy screamed."Impossible," Jay said simply."Jay Parker!" "I can announce that I have severed all ties with the Levines," Jay said emphatically.He was firm and unyielding, leaving no room for negotiation."What did you say?!" Nancy could not believe her ears. "You want to sever ties with the Levines? Do you still have a conscience, Jay Parker?! Have the Levines ill-treated you over
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 864
The moment Cora figured out what that meant, her heart jumped.No. She could not let the Levines' assets end up in Jay's hands. She could not see Zoe leading a better life than she did.She had suffered for so many years in order to end up with what she had today. What right did Zoe have to take back everything she had eventually?"Acknowledge me? Did he acknowledge me as his son?" Jay sneered. "If he did, why did he keep me by his side as his adoptive son? He brought me back simply because there was no one else to take care of me, simply because having one more mouth to feed was nothing to the Levine household. To the Levines, having me around was no different from having a dog!" "That's enough, Jay!" Nancy could not bear to hear more.She would not allow Jay to say that of her father."I think it's quite enough too." Jay looked coldly at Nancy. "I've had enough since many years ago. Now is a great time for us to make a clean break.""Do you really want things to go so far f

Zoe would always chase after him, calling him 'Old Mister' when he was clearly only a few years older than she was.Initially, he felt nothing for Zoe.To be accurate, in such a new environment, he was pretty much cold toward anyone.He did not know how to act around them, and he was very careful to stay within boundaries and know his place, causing as little trouble to others as much as he could.But Zoe was overly warm and friendly.She had boundless energy when she was young. No matter what he was doing, she would never fail to run over and butt in.When he was doing his homework, she would sprawl at his feet and play by herself.When he was practicing at the piano, she would sit next to him and listen intently. She would even sing a few lines in unclear words and imperfect pitch.When he was sleeping, she would sometimes climb into his bed and make him read her bedtime stories. Whatever he did, she would be following behind him.She would either chatter on incessantly or

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
