Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 177

I questioned with a skeptical gaze, "Why?"

"If the child is indeed missing, the police would have to question you as well. It's standard procedure!" Ronan said to me solemnly, "After all, you're involved in this case, and from your position and perspective, you are a suspect."

Addrion looked at me with an exasperated expression. "This is just ridiculous! Can't catch a break! Now you are a suspect!"

Feeling deflated, I turned to Catherine, who was still waiting on the line. "I guess I will get back soon. If there's any important news, let me know immediately."

"Don't worry! Who are you with?" she asked in an annoyingly playful tone.

"Why are you so nosy? Goodbye!" I hung up the phone, annoyed.

My emotions were a whirlwind. Marissa's child went missing at this time? It couldn't just be a coincidence. The next day was the day for foreign investors' inspection.

Why did I feel something wrong?

"You don't need to worry. Even if there is an investigation, it's just routine police work." Ronan tried to comfort me. "If there's anything else you need to do or haven't finished yet, you can tell me. I'll take care of it."

I shook my head, my mind still spinning. "Why do I feel like there's more to this?"

"Do you mean Jaylan has something to do with this?" Addrion asked, looking at me.

I glanced at him. "It's quite possible. Otherwise, why would the child go missing at this crucial time?"

"All men, good or bad, rarely illtreat their own children...." Addrion started.

"Don't forget that I'm still his wife. For his own benefits, he could do anything." I interrupted him before he could finish. "Besides, he might not mean any harm to the child, just trying to divert public attention."

"Stupid!" Addrion said, shaking his head. If Jaylan really had a mastermind behind him, this idea could not be worse.

Ronan forced me to face forward, saying, "Don't keep lingering with a married man."

I shot him an angry look, retorting, "I'm a married woman, remember?"

Although I said this, I couldn't help feeling a sweet sensation. From these words, I understood Ronan was not married.

I sighed at my shamelessness. I was a mother of three, but I was pining for this eligible bachelor. Enough was enough!

When we got in the car, he reassured me, "You don't need to feel any pressure. If the police really come to you, just cooperate."

"I know. Don't worry. I haven't done anything wrong, so what do I have to fear?" I laughed. "I can’t wait to get back and watch this drama unfold to see who ends up with the child."

Everyone had their own hidden agendas. I just wanted to reclaim what was mine. As for what they did or how they did it, I didn’t care. I was happy to benefit from it. For me, this was going to be quite a show!
