Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 124

Before I left, I called Catherine, inviting her to go shopping, and mentioned looking for suitable gifts for my parents. I also suggested she try asking Gevena out, as I owed her a meal for helping with the overseas client. I was sure Jaylan was listening as I walked away.

I stepped out the front door, then told Jaylan, “Transfer some money into my account. I don’t want to be embarrassed again!” I said it with a cold indifference, then turned and left.

My plan was to gradually get him to willingly return the money he had taken.

I hadn’t even reached my car when Jaylan came running after me, “Honey, wait up!”

I glanced at him, opened the car door and got in. He caught up with me and handed me a card. “This is my secondary card. Buy whatever you want with it. Treat Gevena to a fancy place. We don't want her looking down on us.”

I took the card, giving him a cold glare. “You should have been doing this sooner!” I also reminded him, “You better replenish our joint account as soon as possible! I said one week, and I meant it!”

Then, I slammed the car door shut and left, leaving Jaylan standing there, looking rather pale, watching my car disappear.

Speaking of cars, I remembered I needed to get Marissa’s car back. She was enjoying my money and my status. What, did she think I was dead?

After meeting up with Catherine, we went shopping as we waited for Gevena.

Catherine told me, “Allie, the results are out. It's definitely that kind of poison.”

“I’ve already kicked Zora out!” I reported my recent victories to Catherine and what Clara had told me. I also let her know that Jaylan had taken care of Zora and Clara.

“Damn it! That bastard.” Catherine cursed, “He is too kind to her.”

“That's excellent. I want Zora to think that Jaylan can protect her, so she wouldn’t give up. I need her. The better Jaylan treats them, the more interesting the drama will be.” I said, confidently. We shared a wicked smile. “I want to see who has more fight in them, Zora or Marissa. Who will Jaylan protect more?”

“He has to!” I declared, “I will bring down the Dawson family! Send them to hell!”

“Honey, I'm with you! Let's do this.” Catherine was pumped, shocking the other shoppers.

I quickly led her away, laughing.

“My father called this afternoon. He mentioned the old house. It's perfect timing. Even the universe is on my side! Jay was thrilled. I think he might be investigating behind my back. I can't ask my parents for confirmation, I don't want them to worry. So, you need to dig up some information for me. This is crucial. It's the perfect catalyst. I can't afford any mishaps!”

“Consider it done!” Catherine called someone, and after a short conversation, she hung up and nodded at me, “It's set!”

I sighed in relief, “Now, I can get that money back.”
