Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 336

Walking out of the Dawson residence, I could feel the bitter resentment trapped in my chest begin to dissipate. But I knew, with a certainty that chilled, human nature like theirs always lashes back.

Well, let them come. The real thrill is yet to come!

After getting into the car, Hannah turned to me and said, "We should swing by the hospital. It’s time to sort out the discharge paperwork."

"Perfect. I’ve been meaning to have a word with Janice Mackenzie-Geneva anyway," I replied with a nod, sinking into the car seat with exhaustion.

"Aaliyah, you think those two old vultures won't rat us out to Jaylan?" Hannah asked as she drove, glancing my way.

"If they can't reach Jerome, they'll definitely contact Jaylan," I said confidently.

"And then... they'll tattle again! Aren't you worried Jaylan will be on guard against you?" Hannah's voice held a note of concern. "Wasn't today a bit too much?"

"Jaylan's not just going to be on guard; he's been on guard. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be hiding his cellphones. But with things the way they are, he'll strike back even harder. You think he's going to let go of those properties easily?" I shot back at Hannah’s questions.

"Do you really think he'll cough them all up?" Hannah pressed, "Is he that obedient?"

I fell silent for a moment, my thoughts suddenly crystal clear. I had to thank to Hannah; her casual remark might have just given me the insight I needed.

In the game of war, it’s the allies who can turn the tide at crucial moments!

"Everything in Jaylan’s name will be accounted for. The worry is what might be hidden under other people’s names," I said.

"You're right. No wonder he was so quick to settle!" Hannah remarked.

"You said it. And now I really need to dig deeper!"

"That might not be easy," Hannah said skeptically.

"Then we start with the Dawson clan and their circle. Jaylan wouldn’t use unrelated people to buy properties," I insisted, thinking about the Dawson family’s loyalists in high positions at Medsafe Liyah Inc. A cold smile played on my lips.
