Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 61

"Do you ever get scared? Did you fear when you were playing dirty?" The man named Maddox

sounded genuinely angry, "Damn! Have you forgotten if I hadn't reminded you? You've been living the

high life, while I've been ducking and diving. Did you ever care about me?"

My heart pounded rapidly. Clearly, Zora was not as simple as she seemed. The 'dirty play' the man

mentioned surely had substance. But why wasn't it mentioned in the information Logan had gathered?

When Catherine had first given me information about Zora, she only mentioned Zora's past of seducing

her past employers. But the 'dirty play' this man was talking about definitely involved more. The amount

of information was overwhelming, and somewhat frightening.

"Maddox, you'd better keep your mouth shut tight!" Zora warned Maddox in a low voice, "Or none of us

will survive!"

This confirmed my suspicion that this was no small matter.

After a long silence, Zora's gentle voice came again, " Maddox, I remember everything you've done for

me. I won't let you down! But first, I need to be alright, so that you can be alright too, right? Your efforts

won't be in vain!"

It seemed Zora was trying a soft approach now.

"Even if you find out about that woman, what can you do? Zora, I'm warning you, this man is no good.

You're too involved to see clearly!" Maddox's tone softened significantly, almost pleading.

"Would I be so persistent if I wasn't sure?" Zora retorted, "This time, I won't easily give up. He has to

answer to me!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. As long as he makes up his mind, I've won!" Zora said fiercely, "Then even if I let go, he'll

have to pay me a satisfying price. I won't waste my efforts, you can rest assured!"

"You're saying... you've got something on him?" Maddox asked quietly, his voice filled with excitement.

"More than just something!" Zora responded dismissively.

"Tell me, I want to know if it'll work," Maddox asked playfully.

Zora snorted coldly, "Knowing too much won't do you any good. Just focus on finding out more about

this woman. I won't tolerate any hiccups in my plan!"

"Well... at least give me some cash. I'm running short," Maddox laughed awkwardly.

"Just get it done, in detail!" Zora instructed impatiently.

Soon, a notification sound came from the other end of the line, followed by Maddox's complaint, "2

grand is nothing! You know how much it costs to get things done these days. You think I can dig up her

past just with a photo? I'm not some wizard. I need a professional!"

"Just do it, and I'll give you another 3 grand when you're done!" Zora said gruffly.

"Zora, you're not planning another move, are you?" Maddox's voice was filled with concern, "Don't

involve me this time!"

"I have my ways!" Zora sounded confident, "You won't find anything. Besides, it was his idea. Once it

works, he can't deny it."

Her hint made me think of what she still had in her hands.

"Alright! I'll do my best!" After saying this, Maddox chuckled, "Let's change the location, shall we? It's

been too long since we met, and what's the point of sitting here?"

"I have other things to do!" Zora clearly tried to dodge.

"Oh, please. What could be more urgent than me? You can spare a day. Come on, I've been hung out

to dry for too long. You owe me some care!"

I understood perfectly what he meant by 'care'. I cursed under my breath. They were shameless.

There was a rustling sound from the other end, and then Zora's annoyed voice, "Can't you wait until

we're somewhere private? Let's go!"

"We should find a place. If you want a favor, you should be more sincere, right?" Maddox insisted,

sounding impatient.

"Fine, let's go!" Zora sounded petulant.

"That's more like it! If he's fooling around with other women, you shouldn't just sit idle." Maddox Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

laughed lewdly. I heard the door next door open. I held my breath as I listened to their footsteps fading

away. After some contemplation, I sent a message to Logan.

If someone was planning a move, I'd be happy to reap the benefits. Let Zora get what she wants as

soon as possible!
