Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 537

| shot Hannah a puzzled look. "What do you mean? What's wrong?"

"The name's all wrong! Do you have any idea why | was late coming out?" Hannah asked, her gaze locking onto me as she steered the car onto the road where | had parked.

"| was about to ask you the same thing. | checked his business license.” “Business license?" | was taken aback, looking at her in astonishment. "How did you manage that?"

"Oh, that was a piece of cake. | snuck into his office!" Hannah boasted, her face glowing with pride. "That bar belongs to him, but his name isn't Mason Wood!"

"So, what's his name?" | asked, my curiosity piqued. "On the business license, his name is Adkins Smith!" Hannah said, passing her phone over to me.

| took the phone, opened the album, and looked at the photo of the license she had snapped. The capital listed wasn't much, just $80,000. But sure enough, the name was Adkins!

"Could you have mistaken him for someone else?" Hannah asked, concern etching her features. “And how did you confirm that he's the owner?" | was reluctant to believe the truth unfolding before my eyes. "In his office drawer, | found a photocopy of an ID card. Keep scrolling the album..."

| flicked my finger to continue scrolling through the images, and there it was, the ID photocopy Hannah mentioned. The photo showed the same pumpkin-like round face. | checked the address. It wasn't from Silverdale City at all but from some small town out of state.

Shaking my head in disbelief, | said with certainty, "How is this possible? I'm telling you, | couldn't possibly mistake him!" "I've sent all this to Logan to check if it's true."

“It can't be true! Even if he were reduced to ashes, I'd recognize him. He's bulked up now, for sure. Used to be skinny as a rail, but now he's built like a bear! Sure, he's changed a lot physically, but | couldn't mistake him!"

| scrutinized the pumpkin face on the photocopy again. "No doubt about it, it's him! And you know, last time | was home, my mom mentioned that the Wood Manor came into my dad's hands because Mason had gotten into trouble and had to sell."Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"But it still doesn't add up. Look at the license issue date!" Hannah pointed out. "That license is six years old!" | examined the date on the license and murmured, "This isn't right."

"Do you know when the Wood Manor was acquired?" Hannah inquired.

| shook my head. "That's something you'll have to ask my dad."

"Then let's go ask him. We need to get to the bottom of this! If you're certain that this guy is definitely Mason, then we've got a big problem," Hannah mused, mumbling to herself, "I've always suspected something fishy on the inside... It seems like..."

Of course, | knew what she was implying. But | had to admit that Hannah's attention to detail was impressive. She had managed to infiltrate Mason's office and get ahold of this information.

No wonder she was late.

“Allie, don't you ever go doing something like that on your own. It's dangerous and you're not a pro. You could get caught so easily!" Hannah turned to me, her tone serious and stern. "| wouldn't know how to face things if something happened to you."

"| was just panicking! When they came out, | recognized Mason immediately, and he was with Jesper. How could | not be worried?" | explained, "There must be something wrong here."

"Definitely something amiss. Jesper's coming to Silverdale City wasn't by chance. He was surely targeting you. Otherwise, Logan said Jesper had already sorted his visa!" Hannah shared, "The visa thing was just a smokescreen!"

"Do you know what my mom said about why Mason got locked up?" | asked Hannah in return. She looked at me, "What's the story?"

| whispered, "Similar to foe involved in the black Ae

"Then let's head back," | suggested. But the image of the Wood Manor had already etched itself into my mind.

It seemed that Wood Manor was indeed attracting a lot of attention.
