Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 157



Chapter 157

The silence was deafening, way too loud for my liking!

Jaylan's face was deathly pale, and I could tell he was uncomfortable in his heart. For the past decade,

he had played the part of my devoted partner, but my commitment to him was genuine. I had always

treated him with respect, considering him my rock. But what had he done for me in return? When

trouble struck, he came crawling back to me like a whipped dog and begging for my forgiveness.

It was too late!

"Jaylan, you've got some nerve! After causing such a terrible mess, how dare you come to me looking

for solidarity! Have you ever thought of standing by me while I lay sick in bed and when you were with

your mistress?" I had already risen to my feet, looking down at the pathetic man kneeling before me.

I had been itching to slap him for the longest time, and the satisfaction of finally doing so was

indescribable!

Jaylan's face contorted, and he had the audacity to meet my gaze. "Aaliyah, I didn't do anything to hurt

you. You're the only one in my heart!" Jaylan straightened his body as he knelt. I had no idea what

gave him the courage to do so. If it weren't for all the evidence I had gathered, I might have believed

him.

I raised my hand and slapped him again. "You're still lying even now!"

Jaylan reeled from the impact, his jaw clenching in visible anger. I hated his guts.

I pointed at him. saying, "The bastard son is Evan, right? No wonder your mother sings his praises to

high heaven. I remember asking his teacher and finding out his name was Evan Dawson. I thought it

was such a coincidence that he had the surname of Dawson,too. It was so funny!"

"It has nothing to do with me!" Jaylan stubbornly defended himself.

"Fine. It has nothing to do with you, huh!" I shook with fury. Actually, my body was really cooperating

with my act. Whenever I got nervous or even slightly excited, I turned into this emotional wreck.

"Please, my love! You're the only one who can save Medsafe Liyah Inc. now!" Jaylan pleaded, his eyes

bloodshot from desperation. "Just calm down. Let's not make things worse. Once this blows over, I'll

make it up to you. I promise I’ll give you an explanation. You'll be pleased!"

I laughed bitterly within. “Pleased? It's that I must make you pleased.”

He tried everything he could to persuade me, "You don't want to ruin everything over such a small

matter..."

"Small matter?" I interrupted him, staring at him fiercely.

"No... not small!" Jaylan conceded, "But we can't just watch as Medsafe Liyah Inc. falls apart!"

I fell silent, a new plan forming in my mind. He was right. I couldn't let some little bitch destroy Medsafe

Liyah Inc. It wasn't the right time yet. I had to play my cards right.

I glared at Jaylan, my voice cold and resolute. "Listen carefully, Jaylan. I won't stand by and watch

Medsafe Liyah Inc. collapse, but that's as far as my obligation goes. Because once Gevena pulls her

support, all our dreams will shatter. And I will be too ashamed to stand in front of her again. You've

already ruined my reputation once, and I can't let her look down on me again." I deliberately mentioned

Gevena for leverage. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

I had to turn the tables on this situation with Jaylan's guilt to continue playing this game with him.

It essentially meant he was digging his own grave and asking for trouble.

"Honey, you're so right. We can't fall for the trap of those malicious people!" Jaylan immediately agreed

with me.

"Jaylan, pushing for this partnership now is something I want!" I declared, "Because expanding

Medsafe Liyah Inc. has always been my goal."

Jaylan gritted his teeth, nodding in agreement. The level of restraint he was showing was impressive.

"Or else, I wouldn't give a damn about Medsafe Liyah Inc., because... I've got plenty more where that

came from. If this one falls, I'll just start another!" I boldly told him, my words filled with confidence and

dominance.

"Honey, I knew you would understand! Thank you, honey!" Jaylan grasped my intentions, immediately

trying to get up and hold my hand.

"On your kneels!" I commanded harshly.

He promptly knelt down again!

I cursed under my breath, “Just wait and see how much worse I can make this for you!” I hoped Logan,

who was monitoring our exchange, could read between the lines of my words and act accordingly.

I turned and strode upstairs, immediately dialing Gevena. I asked her to pressure Jaylan, and she

proved to be a valuable ally, understanding my intentions immediately. She simply responded with an

"OK" before hanging up.

I quickly changed into fresh clothes and descended the stairs leisurely.

Meanwhile, the internet was still abuzz with the scandal, the story gaining more and more attention. I

needed to create another opportunity.
