Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 96

I abruptly stood up, my eyes darting between Catherine and Elbert. "I get it now. I know why Jaylan suddenly stopped drugging me!"

Catherine immediately pounced on this. "What do you mean? Is there another reason?"

"Jaylan stopped drugging me, allowing me to drag out an ignoble existence because he has also anticipated this outcome. If I had died, my parents would undoubtedly have raised objections against Medsafe Liyah Inc. That company is the painstaking effort of the Wilburn family, They have built it on their entire life savings. They wouldn't let it go easily."

Catherine, vigorously nodding, agreed. "Of course! I wouldn't believe it either!"

"Moreover, if the old manor of our family in Silverdale City is relocated, its value could match or even exceed that of several or up to ten Medsafe Liyah Inc.. Coupled with shares in VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals, Jaylan would be in a precarious position." My thoughts were becoming clearer.

"He must have realized that the only way the Wilburn family could uncover his scheme would be to shortsell Medsafe Liyah Inc. and reclaim their ownership. On the contrary, if I'm alive and he can try harder to win me over, he could squeeze out another round of assets from the Wilburn family." A tear rolled down my cheek before I could stop it.

I quickly cleaned my tear and continued, "As long as I'm alive, my parents will eventually transfer these funds to me."

"Damn it! No wonder he's pretending to be the dutiful husband and doing the lovey-dovey stuff with you everywhere!" Catherine cursed indignantly. "What a devious asshole!"

I chuckled. "And then, he'll mediate and swindle my backers, leaving him safe and sound."

"He's so calculating!"

I nodded. "Catherine, if we hadn't met Daniel that day, we wouldn't have known he was investigating VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals. We wouldn't have realized he was already planning his next move."

"It's fated! If God doesn’t want you to die, no one can!" Catherine comforted me.

"Perhaps this is the real reason I'm still alive. I should thank God for these coincidences that allowed me to escape Jaylan's clutches. I can’t believe that Silverdale City would even have such a plan!"

"But it's just a plan right now!" Catherine pointed out. "I did hear about it last time I was there, and the rumors were rampant, but it's unclear when it will actually be implemented."
