Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 241

I gave Catherine a slight nudge, after she had her fill of chastising. It was time to make our exit!

I didn't bother with Olivia's mood, motioning for Catherine and Hannah to follow me through the crowd.

As we walked, I turned to Catherine, "You've got some nerve! You didn't even use any explicit words. Had your fill of the drama?"

Catherine, a wicked grin on her face, whispered, "I just wanted to let it simmer a bit. How's that for a ticking time bomb?"

I shot her a glance, but held back my laughter.

"Boom! Stirred the pot, didn't I? If I could stir thing up for the Bradlee family and teach that bitch a lesson, then it's all been worth it!" Catherine chuckled mischievously.

Suppressing my laughter, I said, "That's a Molotov cocktail!"

We all burst into laughter.

Hannah chimed in, "But I feel like there's something off about this Irving guy, and their divorce terms are the key!"

I shot Hannah a quick look, praising, "Smart! But, the truth won't stay hidden for long. Now that Janetta is conscious, all will be revealed!"

"That should give the mistress something to think about!" Hannah laughed, clearly enjoying the situation.

"Let the joke sink in, it'll hit harder! I just want Irving to be under siege!" Catherine added, then turned to me, "Why is Ronan here?"

"He's from the Richardson Group, and his name is Bennett now!" I quickly whispered, reminding her, "Be careful not to mention his name as Ronan. Watch your tongue!"

Catherine nodded solemnly.

Just then, I saw Jaylan weaving through the crowd, making a beeline for us, extending a hand in greeting from afar. Interestingly, by his side was the event's female host!

Catherine was not pleased, "What the hell is this? Changing his partner on the spot? He's moving too fast, isn't he? The audacity!"
