Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 192

I watched Jaylan's expressions with a cool detachment and felt curious. Knowing Jaylan as I did, the exhaustion etched on his face didn't seem feigned.

Could it be that Jaylan had no hand in this? That would indeed be interesting.

I had originally thought Jaylan had engineered this ruse to divert the online attention, preventing it from interfering with his upcoming negotiations overseas.

After all, I knew that Geneva had been putting immense pressure on him.

Prior to the arrival of his foreign delegation, the local commerce bureau had issued Jaylan a stern warning not to disrupt the city's investment attraction. Even the deputy mayor in charge of economic affairs was rumored to have lost his temper over the issue.

Jaylan couldn't be oblivious to the severity of the situation. He was now stuck between a rock and a hard place, with no way out.

On my way to the airport, I gave instructions to Geneva and Catherine. I asked Geneva to make a big deal out of this. And Geneva reassured me, "I would've done it even if you hadn't asked. As long as you make the decision, I'll back you till the end."

I gave her a word of encouragement, "Even if we don't succeed this time, it doesn't matter. What's important is to corner Jaylan. He must follow the requirements, and prepare all the necessary documents."

Geneva chuckled, "Aaliyah, you're ruthless."

"They forced me to do this!" I retorted vehemently. "If there's no way out, then let's block all the exits. Jaylan likes to be distinguished, doesn't he? He wants to have power, doesn't he? Let's help him."

"All decisions should be his responsibility. I heard this morning that he's been consulting with banks, but he's still hesitant. It must be hard for him to give back the money he's gotten," Geneva sighed.

I assured Geneva, "This will allow me to control the situation. Even if he wants to mortgage his assets, he won't be able to do so in the short term. I'll use this to push him over the edge, ensuring his downfall."
