Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 257

But her entire demeanor today was as if she was clinging onto Jaylan. I didn't see any interaction between her and Jerome.

My eyes involuntarily scanned the room, but I couldn't find Jerome anywhere. In fact, ever since I returned to the grand hall, I hadn't seen him at all.

I looked at Jaylan, his handsome face now as cold as ice.

"Security, get her out of here!" Jaylan barked out with an authority that demanded respect.

At his command, several security personnel approached and rather forcefully removed the intoxicated Renata from where she was hanging onto Jesper.

It's worth noting that the security present wasn't just from Medsafe Liyah Inc., but also included plainclothes officers dispatched from the local police station, blending in among the guests.

I saw Mayor Arlen, his face an ashen grey, whispering instructions to one of his burly aides, who then walked over to one of the security chiefs. "Get her to the hospital, pronto! Make sure she's taken care of!"

The implications were clear; Renata was in trouble.

No surprise there, considering how she had made a spectacle of herself at such an important event. Her antics had brought shame not just on herself, but on everyone present. It was inevitable that she would face repercussions.

Jaylan glanced in the direction of Mayor Arlen, visibly thrown off balance. He quickly whispered something to me before rushing off towards the Mayor.

By now, Hannah had returned to my side. With a steady voice, I quietly asked her, "Is everything under control?"

"Don't worry," she replied, her voice filled with confidence.

I watched as the security chief directed a muscular guard to lift Renata in his arms and carry her out. I was quietly impressed with his decision to have her carried out, rather than dragged out.

Once Renata was removed, a spokesperson for the city’s economic department took to the stage to briefly explain the unfortunate turn of events, stating that the lady in question had consumed too much alcohol and her behavior was inappropriate. He urged everyone to forget the unpleasant incident.
