A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 306

"You know better than anyone who Dicky's mother is," Jay said.

"And what I'm trying to say is that our nation's policy dictates that the children or grandchildren of any individual with a criminal record are forbidden from holding public office.Of course, it doesn't seem likely that Dicky would become a politician at the moment, but what if things change and our family needs a direct connection? You know very well why members of the Stuart family are holding public office in that sense."

"Of course, most people are unaware that Cordy is Dicky's mom at the moment, but you know how cutthroat the political scene gets.Anyone with a blemish in their resume would never keep it under wraps because their opponents would inevitably ensure that it comes to light."

"And lastly, the most important question of all..."

Jay paused for a moment, before continuing, "Do you really think Johnny would ultimately marry Jessica? Father, were you not compelled by circumstances when you agreed to the Stuarts’ proposal? Johnny did not say no right then and there because he understands your plight, so why don't you understand his? Don't let his respect and sentiment toward you burn off for nothing."
