A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 926
At this point, Zoe would have to say yes even if it was not the case… but Jay was right anyway.When it came to condiments, she hated mountain pepper and parsley, but it still puzzled her—she never had either anyway, so why would Jay know that she hated mountain pepper more?Was it a wild guess?Or perhaps…She did recall taking part in a gourmet show and mentioning offhandedly about her stronger dislike for mountain pepper if she had to choose between the two.Did he happen to watch that?The man was so busy, but he had the time to sit through some pointless TV show?!"Second question. How old was Zoe when she made her debut?""She was eighteen years, three months, and fifteen days old," Jay answered without hesitation this time and without raising any flashcards.The director did a double take. "That's… awfully precise.""Yeah.""Let me check," the director promptly whipped out his phone to check, since the answer he had was just up to eighteen years.He had to cross-chec

The director then turned to Jay. "What about you, Jay?"Zoe turned away from Bob by then—she was actually a little curious as to when Jay popped his cherry too.Eighteen? Twenty-three? Or maybe earlier?!Hell, he probably would not remember.And yet, at the very next second, Jay answered calmly, "The same day as her."Everyone was left stunned by his answer, let alone Zoe.Zoe was already twenty-five at the time, and it almost seemed implausible for someone in showbiz to stay chaste that long. However, she never did get caught in any scandals and it was believable.But Jay was already thirty at the time!He had to know that with so many people here bearing witness, this was inevitably going to make the final cut.He definitely would not go so far as to lie in this situation! Jay clearly saw the surprise on everyone's faces too and explained nonchalantly, "Can't help it. I chose to restrain myself after I decided to wait for a certain person.""Does that mean you'd fallen in

And since Jay could get hard, why was she the only woman he had been with after so many years?He certainly was not in love with her—at least not in the past, or he would not have kept rejecting her advances."Would you like to know more?" Jay asked, clearly noticing her confusion."Nope," Zoe refused.While Jay pursed his lips in turn, Zoe said coolly, "Your past has nothing to do with me.""Yeah," Jay replied—there was no erasing how much he had hurt her in the past, nor did he deserve her forgiveness.Nonetheless, he said, "My future will be in your hands."Zoe was at a little lost for words, genuinely feeling that Jay had changed so much she did not know him at all now.Was this all thanks to Yelena?-Over at the capital, Cordy and Sean were getting restless because their quarry was not making a move at all.Sean began to have doubts about their plans too."Maybe it's not easy to make a move in the hospital? To be fair, no one can do anything with all the cameras watch
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 929
Sean no longer hesitated at that point and did as Cordy suggested, summoning every Cranston to gather outside the ICU unit where 'Jesse' stayed.Then, he announced, "Grandfather is getting discharged in half an hour. We've called you here today to see him off.""You're telling us now?! You could have told us earlier." Paul was obviously upset."What's the difference if we'd told you earlier or now?" Sean asked. "Do you have some special preparations in mind?""What preparations can I manage?!" Paul snapped in annoyance. "You weren't this impulsive before, Sean—don't you remember how you've always planned and considered everything before deciding? Why do I have this feeling that you changed too much after you became chummy with Cordy?"Cordy turned toward Paul then—the man never liked her, and it did not sit well with him that Jesse had been spoiling her ever since she was brought back to the Cranstons. In fact, she first suspected Paul to be the one who poisoned Jesse, but now,

Paul was starting to get furious and was unable to sit still. "Why isn't Fred back yet? Where the hell did he go?""Should I go check?" Linus—Paul's son—asked."Just call him. Going in and out would just irritate us more," Paul told him.Linus promptly whipped out his phone to call Fred. "Fred, Dad's asking how much longer the checkup would take. And why aren't you coming back?""Stomach ache. I needed the restroom," Fred replied. "I'm coming back soon.""How's Grandfather?""Sean said he'll be done soon and told everyone to rest easy.""Okay."Linus hung up, and relayed Fred's message to everyone.Paul rose to his feet impatiently right then. "I need a cigarette.""I'm coming with you." Linus followed him to the smoking area, although it was just one glass door between them and the VIP lounge.Cordy texted Sean again at that: [Uncle Paul and Linus are in the smoking area. Neither are making phone calls.]Sean replied: [Got it.]And with that, everyone waited for ninety mi

Sean turned off the recording and said, "Right now, the situation is that no Cranston has exposed themselves. Either the culprit was calm, smart, and even capable of predicting our every move to stay calm, or…"Pausing, he held Cordy's gaze and said, "Or, all our theories before were wrong. The culprit is not a Cranston."Cordy's eyes narrowed, but she had to admit that she was thinking that they had been suspecting the wrong people from the start. "So? Which do you think it is?" Sean asked.Cordy shook his head, unable to offer Sean a solid opinion.Sean did not press her either.The car drove on quietly, until the chauffeur suddenly jammed his foot on the brakes!Everyone in the car—Sean, Cordy, 'Jesse', and Richard were all caught by surprise."What's going on?!" Sean promptly asked."There's this bike that came from the opposite direction," the chauffeur quickly replied. "We almost crashed—""Eyes front!" Sean barked at him suddenly, and the chauffeur saw it too—a car bo

At the next instant, 'Jesse' had opened the door and started to throw up all over the ground.The cars of the other Cranstons also arrived at the grounds of the manor as well.Since they had been sticking together, they naturally noticed the cars that were chasing Sean's.Everyone was worried as they alighted when they saw 'Jesse' vomiting so miserably and hurried to him in concern.Paul was even snapping at Sean already. "Aren't you going to help your grandfather when he's like this—"He trailed off as 'Jesse' could not help looking up just then.And no matter how much he resembled the real Jesse, he was obviously not the man."Who is he?!" Paul bellowed loudly, while the others were left stunned by the man too.'Jesse' then turned toward Sean just then, who decided to show his hand. "He's a paid actor.""What?!" Paul was incensed. "Were you f*cking with us, Sean?!""Everything I did, I did to expose the culprit trying to hurt Grandfather," Sean calmly replied.Paul snorted

Paul, however, was not taking Cordy's words to heart. "I'm not about to buy into your tall tales.""Uncle Paul," Sean said sternly then. "You can doubt us, but just don't impede us. Cordy and I have decided to come clean because we're family—we can work as one instead of pointing fingers. It's obvious that someone is out to hurt Grandfather, and if we don't find them, our whole family will be in danger. And we shouldn't end up falling because of this."Seeing that Sean had put it that way, Paul knew that he could not stay stubborn, though he was still a little miffed and snapped, "Well, what you say goes now in the family since Dad trusts you so much. But I'm putting it out there first—don't expect us to wipe your butt if you mess up. I'm too old for your nonsense.""Don't worry, Uncle Paul. Just back us up, and you don't have to worry about anything.""Well, I'm not bothered," Paul huffed and left with his family, while the others returned inside Cranston Hall.Sean had 'Jesse' s
