Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 193

Even though I was used to their smirks and snide remarks, I was still infuriated by Hazel's words.

My calm mind was suddenly stirred into a maelstrom. I could taste the bitterness in my throat, and the joy of the past few days instantly disappeared.

I couldn't hold it in and retorted coldly, “You better hurry up and find your precious grandson. Your son messed around everywhere, and he probably pissed off someone. So you better keep an eye on him! To glorify your family, you should spend less time yelling at me and more time finding that kid! Want to get me killed? Him! You better have the guts!”

“You bitch, are you causing trouble even now?” Farley seemed to have reached his limit as he raised his hand to slap me...

Just then, the door was abruptly pushed open with a loud bang. Farley, startled by the sudden noise, stopped his hand mid-air and looked towards the door.

Catherine rushed in with a woman, who was strong and imposing. Despite her plain attire, she was fit and agile. She walked straight towards me as soon as she entered, standing right beside me.

I didn't know her, but her actions instantly gave me a sense of security. I looked at Catherine approvingly, almost saying, “You couldn't have come at a better time.”

Catherine, seeing the situation, roared at Jaylan, “Jaylan, were you planning on beating Allie if I came in a bit later?”

Jaylan was most irritated by Catherine's temper and gave her a cold, displeased glance, venting all his resentment towards Catherine. “Ms. Damon, mind your words. Even if you are Aaliyah’s best friend, you should know your place. What do you mean by ‘beating Allie’? Did you see it yourself?”
