Jaylan quickly sought to reassure me, "Don't be mad. Marissa is gone. I'm not going to mess up like before."
I pointed arrogantly at Zora and asked him, "And what about her?"
Without hesitation, Jaylan said firmly, "I'll make her leave, completely out of your sight!"
I sneered inwardly, “Leave? Don't even think about it, my revenge hasn't been served yet! She cannot go anywhere, and especially not out of my sight.”
I didn't rush to make a statement. Instead, I asked, "Do you know much about the organization your brother is involved in?"
"That organi..." Jaylan cut himself off abruptly, glancing at me before changing his tune, "I don’t know much about it. He never tells me about it, only that it always requires money!"
I saw through his cunning, but didn't expose him.
"So, you've become his bank, then?" I sneered coldly. "I can't believe my beloved Medsafe Liyah Inc. has become the Dawson family's piggy bank! You take what you want without any regard. My initial intention for Medsafe Liyah Inc. was not only to realize my own value but also to improve the quality of life for my family, including the Dawsons. How did I become the one who trample you in a high and mighty demeanor as you claimed? So, I am expected to bow down like Camilla, while you spend my money?”
Mentioning Camilla reminded me of Fidelia's situation.
"Darling, don't think about unpleasant things!" Jaylan crawled over to me, took my hand and looked at me with affectionate eyes, in a way that was truly revolting.
I composed myself, eager to end the current discomfort and no longer share a room with him. "If you're so determined to make amends, let me see your sincerity!"
Zora's face turned pale in an instant. She looked at Jaylan incredulously, her lips twitching, "What... what do you want?"
Jaylan turned to her, his eyes filled with menace. "What do you think? Will you leave on your own, or should I force you? Zora, know your place. You don’t stand a chance!"
