Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 163

When Geneva heard me speak like this, she immediately responded, "Hey, don't fret about the trouble. Just tell me what you need! As long as it's within my power, consider it done!"

"Thank you! You're the only one who can handle this!"

"Then spill it!" Geneva's tone was decisive. "Your situation is so damn odd. I couldn't ignore it even if I wanted to."

"We need to sweeten the deal for Jessica. She's greedy and always splitting hair. Give her..." I whispered a few words softly.

Geneva immediately caught my drift. "I got it!"

"No one else can handle this, and I wouldn't trust anyone else to. Jessica may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but she’s way too suspicious. So, the person who can pull this off must be someone she trusts. But Geneva, don't get involved in it directly. Just help me set the stage." I cautioned Geneva, "I'll get someone to cover the rest of the job. I don't want you to get into unnecessary trouble."

"Alright! I'll handle it!" Geneva agreed readily, "Rest assured! She wouldn't suspect me in a million years!"

"That's why I said you were the only one who could pull off this plan!" I saw Gemma carrying a basin out, bending over to look at the orchids in the yard not far from me.

I immediately switched to a lighter tone. "Well, I won't keep you. I look forward to hearing good news. I'll treat you to dinner later!"

Geneva instantly caught on to my discomfort and didn't press further. We exchanged a few polite words before ending the call.

She then sent me the capital verification plan, which I read carefully, added a couple of points, and sent it back to her.

I then pocketed my phone, glanced at Gemma, and casually walked over to her. "Gemma, does my father also entrust you with these orchids?"

Gemma smiled warmly. "Yes, your father treasures these orchids! I water them every day."

"That isn't right. These flowers don't need watering every day. Didn't my dad tell you?" I looked at her with a feigned surprise. I knew very well that she was eavesdropping. "Gemma, you don't have to work so hard. Let my dad tend to these plants. He wouldn't want them to get hurt."
