Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 252

The voice I had heard earlier was still echoing in my ears, and I was convinced it belonged to a foreigner. Could they possibly be at the same event?

I composed myself and headed towards Gevena.

Approaching her, she looked at me, "Where did you go? You were gone for quite a while."

I shrugged, "Just stepped out for a bit."

I didn't tell her the truth. After all, anything involving Jerome was of no concern to Gevena.

"Where's Jessica?" I asked.

Gevena smirked, "She's busy."

I noticed Ronan Stewart hadn't returned to the hall.

"Your mother-in-law is the star of the show tonight!" Gevena said, eyeing Hazel. Following her gaze, I saw Hazel in a lively conversation with an older businessman, her corpulence shaking with laughter.

Jaylan was huddled with Renata in a corner, whispering about something. Renata didn't seem pleased.

Remembering something Catherine had said, I took out my phone and searched for some scandal about Renata.

Wow... impressive!

A bunch of news articles popped up. I clicked on one to get the gist of it, and couldn't help but chuckle at the soap opera-like drama unfolding.

What was more surprising was that someone had dug up her extravagant spending habits. Most of it was spent on her appearance, clearly, she was heavily invested in climbing the social ladder.

The man at the center of the scandal was a rather unremarkable older man. It seemed this Miss Renata wasn't picky.

After reading up on the man, it turned out he was quite wealthy. However, following the scandal, he had lost everything to his wife and was kicked out of the business.
