Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 135

We chatted well into the afternoon before we had to reluctantly part ways.

Before leaving, I stepped forward, tightly embracing Addrion's slender frame. I said solemnly, "I'm sorry, Adri. I dragged you into this."

Addrion didn't say anything. He hugged me back, patted my back, and whispered, "As long as we're still kicking, everything will be fine."

I looked up at him. He gave me a bright smile that I hadn't seen in a while. I asked him, filled with emotion, "At least you're back, aren't you?"

He nodded seriously, saying in a spirited tone, "Yeah, I'm back! And I'll fight alongside you!"

I nodded, feeling empowered, waved goodbye to him, and got in the car without hesitation. I knew then that my plan was genuinely underway. I was no longer fighting alone; I had a solid support system. I was out for revenge, for me, and for Addrion.

Logan followed my car back to the city.

I took the opportunity to ask him many questions about Jerome. He told me, "Jerome has stepped on a landmine this time. He may not escape this time, as he's already on the radar of the police. They're just keeping him as a lead to reach the heart of the underworld."

"Can't believe that the Dawson family could produce such a menace!" I found it hard to believe that I fell into this trap. Even harder to accept was the fact that Medsafe Liyah Inc., which I had worked so hard to build, had become a cash cow for this den of thieves. I sighed, "The Dawson family is a bunch of scoundrels!"

Logan chuckled at my statement, "You're right. Jaylan is probably involved too. If he's suspected of framing you for insurance fraud, then there might be an organization behind him!"

"What?" I looked at Logan in shock, "There's such an organization?"

Logan glanced at me, "Allie, you've been out of the loop for too long. The world is dangerous now, and there are many such organizations. You'll see. But, you mentioned something that got me thinking."

"What is it?" I asked Logan.

"You said Jaylan isn't that smart, and these actions don't seem like his style. It made me realize that there might be someone advising him. That's why he's acting so recklessly!"

I thought it was just a group of emerging entrepreneurs from Goldenvale Town, who like to call themselves 'high-rollers'. But I didn't recognize anyone, so I was a bit puzzled."

Logan's eyes narrowed as he asked me seriously, "Can you get that phone back?"

I glanced at Logan, feeling excited, "I'll have to wait until he returns. I can get it, but not for long."

"You're sure you can do it, right?"

"It's easy to handle Jaylan now that Zora is out of the picture," I confidently said.

"I just need half an hour," Logan told me. "But you have to let me know in advance; I need to prepare something."

"Okay, I'll find a way to get it when he comes back from the meeting and let you know in advance," I promised Logan.
