Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 147

I couldn't help but furrow my brows, wondering if the man standing before me was indeed the Ronan I knew so many years ago. Everything about him was a mystery to me since our encounter.

It was only then I realized that Logan's attitude towards me, his subtle hints, and his tireless efforts were from the consideration of Ronan.

Ronan knew about my situation long ago.

No wonder he and Catherine were always strange, always avoiding the main point, always wanting to say something but not quite.

I was baffled. How did Ronan find out about my situation? Why did he go to such lengths to help me? He promised cooperation yet didn't take a dime, allowing me to buy back at the original price. What was his hidden agenda?

I realized that the person I wanted to see the most now was Catherine.

Seeing my silence, Ronan chuckled and asked me, "Haven't figured it out yet?"

I relaxed my brows and met his gaze. At the moment, I couldn't find a second person who could provide such substantial funds to help me.

Without substantial funds, all my plans were just castles in the air. Revenge? Toppling the Dawson family? All nonsense.

How could I explain to those who suffered because of me if I couldn't retrieve Medsafe Liyah Inc., especially Addrion who, despite his crippled body, insisted on helping me? How could I let him down?

Moreover, Ronan was indeed someone I could trust. I really needed his help.

I cleared my throat and said, "Let Mr. Elbert draft the agreement. But it is a cooperation. You don't have to sell back at the original price; consider increasing it. Taking back Medsafe Liyah Inc. is not just for me but for everyone. I can't let the Dawson family do as they please." I was very firm.

"Thank you for your trust." Ronan was happy when he heard my words. "You did the right thing. You've always been clear-headed."

I chuckled sarcastically. Did I have another choice?

Indeed, reaching this agreement was a significant display of trust for both Ronan and me.

"I know Medsafe Liyah Inc. is your life's work. I'm just safeguarding it temporarily until it's truly safe. Then it will be returned to you," Ronan assured me softly.

Ronan pondered for a moment and said gently, "A long time ago."

"When?" I pressed, "How long ago?"

I immediately regretted my question. It seemed a bit too focused on him.

Sure enough, his smile deepened.

"Since I knew Jerome was Jaylan's brother." Ronan's words stunned me.

"Jerome?" I repeated, seeming to realize something, I asked, "Are you a government agent?"

He only smiled and didn't answer, confirming my guess.
