Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 475

I not only ruffled Jerome's feathers but also turned to Jaylan with a smirk, "Oh... and speaking of which!

Jaylan, where's Zora today? Shouldn’t she be standing beside you? This seems like the perfect place

for a show of force, don't you think?"

My words, of course, were a barb aimed at Camilla.

"Cut the crap!" Jaylan snapped, his patience at its end.

Jessica saw her chance and jumped in, stirring the pot, "Jaylan, if it weren't for her swiping mom's

wallet, I wouldn't have had that fight with Zora!" Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

I couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter, "Jerome, did you hear that? Your sister finally admitted!"

Jerome shot Jessica a frigid glance, making her involuntarily shiver and take a step back.

"Jerome, do you know why your mother handed me her wallet?" I asked, locking eyes with him before

pointing at Jesper, "You might want to have a chat with your little brother here!"

Jesper's gaze faltered.

"Jerome, you've been dreaming of pulling the strings at Medsafe Liyah Inc., but your pathetic little

brother knows nothing but fooling around with women.

Not only did he destroyed the Medsafe Liyah Inc., but he also cost you the two people closest to you—

one, your brilliant son, and the other, your mother who truly loved you. And the mastermind behind it all

has vanished without a trace."

Jerome, pushed past his limits, stepped forward furiously and slapped Jaylan hard across the face,

leaving a scarlet streak blooming at the corner of his mouth. But Jaylan didn't dare retaliate, just met

my gaze with an opaque storm of emotions swirling in his eyes.

"Oh, and this good for nothing..." I nodded towards Jaylan, continuing to needle Jerome, "He probably

didn't tell you about the opportunity he blew that could have catapulted Medsafe Liyah Inc. to the top, a

partnership with VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals? If it worked out..."

I let my voice trail off tantalizingly, "but he blew it already. Jerome, and you can't escape it now!"

"What have you done?" Jerome's hawk-like eyes bore into me as if I were prey, "Aaliyah, did you bring

the cops here?"

"Jerome, you're overthinking it! Like I said, I'm just here to pay my respects!" I retorted and moved

forward to place a bouquet of white chrysanthemums on Hazel's casket.

Regardless of everything, respect for the deceased comes first.

Having said my piece, I turned to leave, "I've said my goodbyes! You all can carry on."

With that, I walked towards the exit.

Suddenly, four men dressed in black emerged from nowhere, blocking the door.

Jerome, radiating anger, confronted me, "What exactly have you done?"

Hannah stepped protectively to my side. I took a step forward, staring Jerome down defiantly,

"Scared?"

"Since you dare to show up, then speak your mind!" Jerome hissed, "This isn't a place where you can

come and go as you please! Did you seriously mistake the Dawsons for pushovers?"

"Don’t be so dramatic!" I scoffed at him, "The law isn't after you because of me!"

I dismissed him with contempt, "I told you, I'm here solely to escort Hazel on her last journey! You think

you're the only one with a brain? You’re better off watching your back. Don't outsmart yourself. If I were

you, I'd pay my respects and skedaddle! What you've done—you know it better than anyone."

Our gazes locked in a standoff, neither of us willing to back down, the tension palpable.

Even with Hannah by my side, my heart raced.

But I knew, now more than ever, that I couldn't afford to lose my stand!

I spoke evenly to Jerome, "This is Hazely's wake. You know what's appropriate."

Jaylan, finally catching on, took an aggressive step forward, "What did you mean by that?" Coոtent of

I looked at him with disdain, enunciating each word, "Medsafe Liyah Inc. is out of your reach. It's still

mine!"

Jaylan let out a roar of denial, "That's impossible!"

I sneered and walked away confidently. The four men bristled with hostility and moved in on me, but

Hannah quickly stepped in front of me.
