A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1004

Sean had to wonder-should he trust John?

What if this was all just a trap? There was no question that John had the strength to destroy the Cranstons!

Nonetheless, John made his intentions clear right then and there. "Nana's merely a chess piece. The Lynds would never consider themselves as one of them without her. If I wasn't amongst them, I won’t have leverage for a partnership..."

He trailed off for a moment as he saw Sean raising a brow, and said, "Fine. I’ll admit, it didn't cross my mind before that I should work with you. I was intent on destroying the Lynds as I did with the Stuarts with my own strength. However, I didn't know that the Lynds were your enemies at first. To top it off, they were your relatives. I’d never have partnered with you under such circumstances, let alone make Cordy hate me because I messed with the Lynds."

"So you're pleased that they moved against us," Sean said, appearing composed but ruffled inside.

John was going to destroy the Lynds on his own?!

It was far beyond his imagination to conceive. How powerful was he, really?

And the Lynds were far above the Stuarts in power and influence!

"I am. Most importantly, now I know Cordy wouldn't hate me if I moved against the Lynds."

"Quit dreaming already. She and Patrick are going strong," Sean said, very slowly and clearly.
