Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 277

My heart skipped a beat. She was definitely hiding something. I pushed her further, "What is it?"

She looked up at me, her eyes filled with helplessness, almost as if she was struggling to find the words.

I pressed her harder, "Spit it out."

Finally, she seemed to make up her mind and said, "It's the DNA report from Zora, the one I intercepted."

I stood there, a little confused. The report from Zora that she intercepted?

"You mean the one that proved they weren't father and son?" I asked her, needing confirmation.

"Yes, that's the one. It was in my bag, and I hadn't had a chance to deal with it yet." Clara admitted, clearly frustrated.

I tried to piece together what she was saying and asked, "When did you lose the report?"

Clara shook her head, "I'm not sure, but I noticed it was gone when I realized Evan was missing."

"Did you come into contact with any strangers during that time?" I asked.

She shook her head again, "No, I was either at home or at work. During the cocktail party, my bag was locked in the office locker room. It shouldn't have gone missing."

I studied her, and she didn't seem to be lying.

I took a moment to think, then grabbed my purse and told Hannah, "Let's go!"

Clara looked alarmed, "Where are you going, Ms. Aaliyah?"

I ignored her question, thinking to myself, "That's none of your business."

Once we left the cafe, Hannah asked, "Where are we headed, Ms. Aaliyah?"

I stood at the entrance, watching the bustling traffic, thinking to myself, "I need to see Zora."

My intuition was telling me that this had something to do with Zora.

I told Hannah, "We're going to see Zora."
