Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 274

On my way to see Clara, a question haunted me. Clara's claim of trust seemed contradictory.

The moment I saw Clara, she had transformed back into that meek and docile girl, completely defenseless, totally unlike the day she came to inform me that Zora had taken Evan.

I knew too well that whenever she switched to be like this, she either needed a favor, or she was up to some new trick.

Walking in without a word, I took a seat across from her, glancing at her, "So, what do you want to talk about?"

She blinked, then lowered her gaze, a conflicted expression on her face, "Ms. Aaliyah, that child is lost."

My head throbbed at her words, and I stared at her sharply, "What do you mean?"

Her eyes, suddenly full of tears, met mine, "Ms. Aaliyah, I don't know how to tell you, I lost that child."

"Speak clearly," I growled, my heart was on fire.

Clara shrunk back, tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful, as if I was the one who had wronged her.

"I lost Evan," Clara stated clearly.

I was in disbelief, "Evan was with you? Didn't you say Zora had taken him?"

"He was indeed taken by Zora, but later I took him away." she stammered.

I was speechless, murmuring, "I underestimated you. So tell me, how did you lose him?"

"After seeing you that day, I eavesdropped on Zora and Jaylan's conversation again, found out where Evan was hidden, and took the opportunity to steal him away. And I did a DNA test on him and Jaylan," Clara's voice trembled, and it was hard for me to believe she could be so nervous.

I was scrutinizing her, trying to determine if she was putting on an act.

I was speechless. All of these devils were good actors. I had to stay focused, otherwise, I would be manipulated.

"You did a DNA test on Jaylan and Evan?" I immediately found the answer I was looking for.
