Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 78

"Clara...you are my sister, my own flesh and blood. I've taken care of you for so many years, never missed a payment for your tuition. How could you treat me like this? Do you even have a conscience?" Zora's tone softened. "We used to have a good family, how did we end up like this? Do you even know why I left in the first place?"

Clara shrugged, her face losing its smug smile. "Everyone has their own fate, Zora. If it wasn't for what happened, you wouldn't be where you are today. Don't talk to me about how you treated me at home, did you ever treat me well? Huh?"

As Clara spoke, a twitch appeared at the corner of Zora's mouth and she dropped her gaze.

Undeterred, Clara continued, "That's why I want a piece of your pie now. Did you really think I couldn't fight back? I was just testing you, giving you another chance as my sister. But you, did you show any mercy when you raised your hand against me? And you talk about sisterhood?"

Without warning, Clara slapped Zora's face. "Consider this payback for that incident when we were kids, okay?"

Zora turned her face to one side, her expression pained. She glared at Clara but couldn't find the words to respond.

Clara then, as if nothing had happened, sat next to Zora, took her arm, and leaned against her. "Ah, I'm done playing. I'm hungry! Sister, I want food! Mr. And Mrs. Dawson aren't home, we need to treat ourselves, right?"

I was speechless. What a horrifying pair of sisters, utterly shameless.

After saying this, Clara took Carl from Zora, even kissing him on the cheek. I was heartbroken. How could they treat my son like a toy, kissing him whenever they pleased.

I put down my phone, unable to watch any longer, and laid back down.

I had to find a way to get rid of these devilish sisters as soon as possible.

When Zora returned, she brought Carl back with her. As I took my son, I asked her, "Why were you gone so long?"

She smiled apologetically and explained that she was looking for a new place for Clara. I didn't ask further, it was clear she was lying. Clara wasn't someone Zora could easily get rid of.

I watched Zora as she cooked in the kitchen, her mind seemed elsewhere. She must have gone to Maddox to settle scores, but looking at her state, she definitely didn't win.

I was secretly pleased. With troubles from both inside and outside, she wouldn't have time to focus entirely on me.
