Chapter 1264
A Life Debt Repaid
Sean was waiting at the airport, glowering as if they owed him money-though he probably would not be that upset even if they did.
Still, Cordy noticed in surprise that Patrick was there too!
Should he not be in Rocktown? What was he doing here?!
âSeanâ¦â Cordy barely began when Sean turned and strode off.
He looked really upset.
Cordy slid a glance at John, who gave her an assuring look as if it was no issue.
Cordy rolled her eyes-for him, maybe, since Sean was not his cousin.
She quickly hurried after Sean, though they left the airport in two different cars.
Though calm earlier, Cordy was starting to get a little worried because of Seanâs silent treatment when John assured her, âDonât worry-l have leverage against him.â
âWhat?â Cordy exclaimed in surprise-leverage again Sean? What could it be?
John merely grinned enigmatically while their cars soon took them to Cranston Hall.
There, Cordy gingerly approached Sean. âHowâs Grandfather?
âYou remember him now?â Sean scoffed, clearly upset.
Still, he replied, âStill no sign that heâs waking up.â
Cordy noddedâshe had not been to the capital often, but she often asked after Jesse on WhatsApp.
âIâll visit him later.â
Sean stayed quiet, but Cordy considered it his approval.
âAs for my wedding with Johnâ¦â Cordy started to explain before saying staunchly, âHe forced me into it.â
That was certainly an amazing way to pass the buck!
Sean blinked and turned sharply to John.
John was left staring at Cordy, who avoided his gaze-she was planning to leave this to him anyway.
And he had leverage, did he not? Well, it was time to use it!
âHow did you force her?â Sean demanded right then.
âItâs not forced. Itâs consensualâ¦â
âConsensual? Did she consent to it? Did her family agree to it?â Sean asked, his voice louder with every syllable.
He obviously admired John, but he could not accept Cordy being coerced into marrying him either!
However, John asked in return, âIn that case, did the family agree to you divorcing your wife?â
Seanâs face fell, while Cordy exclaimed in surprise, âYouâve gotten a divorce?!â
âHow did you find out?â Sean asked John then.
âOh, I know way more than that.â John smiledâSean was smart enough to tell what he meant right then.
And to no surprise, Sean was pursuing his lips, suddenly a little stumped.
The air in the room became a little stiff, and Cordy was left wondering what the leverage was.
Naturally, she did not dare to ask lightly in fear that she would get burned too.
âSo? What are you going to do to make amends for our family?â Sean asked, histone still cold.
However, Cordy could tell that he was basically relentingâ¦
So, what dirt did John have on Sean, really?!
âIâll hold another wedding ceremony in the capital and marry Cordy with all pomp and circumstance,â
John said seriously then. âAnd so that the country knows Cordyâs real identity.â
