His 181St Second (Laverne and Marina) novel Chapter 485

Hayley tried to play on her history with Daron, hoping to make him feel like he owed her something

She figured that way, Dáron would let Zara off the hook

But Daron’s face remained unreadable, not a flicker of emotion after hearing Hayley’s words.

He just looked at Hayley quietly, saying nothing.

Hayley’s eyes flickered with panic, but she tried to put on a brave face as she looked Daron in the eye.

“Daron, for your aunt’s sake, can we just drop this? Hayley pleaded.

Daron shot her down without hesitation

“No way,” he said flatly.

Hayley’s face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered.

“Of

I course, we can’t just let this slide. I’ll make sure Zara apologizes to Marina face–to–face,” she continued.

“I admit I used to be prejudiced against Marina, but after what happened to you in Frency, I see her differently now. Zara was in the wrong here; she owes Marina an apology,” she admitted.

“But if Zara uploads a clarification video online, she’ll be done for. People will never look at her the same way again,” she pleaded

Seeing Daron’s indifference, Hayley pressed on.

“This is a family thing; we can settle it ourselves. Daron, even if Zara doesn’t post an apology video, you could still set the record straight yourself, couldn’t you?” she said.

Just put out the footage from other angles, and that’ll clear things up…” she suggested.

But Daron cut her off, his brows furrowed.

“This is a lesson for her. Don’t bother pleading on her behalf. I’m not cutting you any slack,” he said, his voice low and fin

Hayley froze, shocked that Daron was so determined to make Zara apologize online for everyone to see

‘Daron… Hayley tried to plead again.

But Daron didn’t even hesitate. He headed straight for the door, his voice cold as ice.

‘Don’t say another word. Aunt Hayley, just how many times are you going to cash in on what you’ve done for me he d

Hayley had reached out to stop him, but when she heard Daron’s words, her hand hung awkwardly in the air

Daron walked right past her, not even sparing her a glance.

Hayley hurried after him, her voice urgent

“Daron, I never tried to hold what I’ve done for you over your head I’m just worried about Zara’s future. If she posts that apology video, what will people think of her? How will she ever make it in dus business again” she pleaded.

“Stars girl and people are so cruel to women these days. I’m really worried for her…” she cried.

Darons stopped in his tracks and turned to face Hayley

St Marina count as a woman too” he shot back

Weren’t those perfectly timed shots of her the reason all that hate blew up?” he added.

Daron’s words shut Hayley right up

She opened her mouth, but no words came out.

Hayley knew if she kept fighting Daron on this, whatever family ties they had left would snap for good

Hayley could only bite her lip and watch as Daron strode off toward the elevator, powerless to stop hirm

Just then. Zara stepped out from the shadows and walked up to Daron, stopping him.

“Daron. I’ve already recorded the apology video,” she said quietly.

“Mom only begged you because she was worried sick about me. I know I messed up, and I’m ready to face the consequences,” she explained

Zara realized things were going south, and she had to act fast.

She knew if she didn’t step up now, all of Daron’s anger would just get redirected at Hayley.

They were in this together. If Hayley lost all goodwill with Daron, Zara would be totally out of luck.

Daron shot her a look, his voice cold and firm.

“Send me the video. My team will handle the posting,” he said,

Zara bit down on her lip, her voice tense as she spoke up.

“Daron, I’ll post it myself from my personal account,” she insisted.

“If Marina had to take all that hate, then I should face it myself too,” Zara added.

But Daron said nothing.

The elevator doors slid shut behind him.

Hayley exhaled sharply and reached out, gripping Zara’s shoulders.

Zara immediately reached out to support her

“Mom, are you okay?” Zara asked, her voice full of concern

Hayley shook her head, her voice low and heavy:

“Zara, I’m afraid things are only going to get tougher for us in the Zamora family from town” she sand

Zara gave a gentle nod, her voice earnest.

“Mom, you can count on me. After all this, I’ll be exirs cautions. I never making the same mistake again, she sand

security

Hayley nodded, her reply just a soft “Mm”

Tens attitude had flipped overnight

It all seemed to change after Bette came to apologize that night.

Could something have happened before I left the hospital? Hayley wondered.

But the Zamora family’s staff insisted nothing had happened.

Life at the Zamora family had been just like always

The servants still kept her posted about Harris, just like they always did.

Hayley pressed her fingers to her forehead, looking troubled.

Just then, Garret stepped out of the office and walked over to Daron’s door with a friendly smile.

Hey, Mrs. Zamora, you’re here,” he said.

Hayley nodded.

Garret kept smiling as he walked up beside her, then closed Daron’s office door behind them like it was the most natural thing in the world.
