A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 1456

Sam eventually told the boys that Cordy and Zoe were helping him.

After all, he was really worried that the two wife-for-brains would move heaven and earth to find out what they were up to and mess up his plans.

Naturally, they were all teasing him, with John and Jay accusing Sam of working two pregnant women for his plan.

He certainly had to make up for it before they finally let it pass.

Most importantly, the plan was almost complete and the only thing they had to do was wait.

Marvin's sixtieth birthday arrived soon enough, and it was a lively scene.

Though he was not trending, the media still had interest in him. He was also mentioned frequently on news and social media, and most importantly, the netizens were surprised by Sam's sudden rise.

He was the typical freeloading rich playboy, but he somehow managed to carry Saunderia on his shoulders when everyone was convinced it would be Ryan.

As posts praising him changing his ways circulated everywhere, Ryan saw it too.

He had been in a good mood at first, since it was his father's birthday and he could attend the banquet after working long nights in his research center.

The news, however, left him glowering.

Sam, who was so insignificant to him, was now being fawned over so many, while Ryan himself only served as the backdrop!

Ryan was left scowling even as he drove to the airport while listening to the stream reporting his dad's birthday. Somehow, the media was more interested in Sam than his father.

He was also stubborn—even as he yawned endlessly, he refused to take a break at any of the rest stops. Instead, he accelerated further to keep himself awake.

That was when a stray dog suddenly scampered across the highway.

Ryan was just spacing out when he saw the moving figure. His mind seemed to freeze, and he suddenly jammed his foot on the brakes and spun the steering wheel, turning the car's nose in on itself.

At the next instant, another car that had been driving at top speed slammed right into his car with a resounding crash!

Meanwhile, Marvin and Lindsay had woken up early in the morning and were happily getting ready to head to the hotel.
