Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 232

The thought of those mortgaged contracts suddenly hit me, and I hurriedly spun on my heels towards the study. I found the key and opened the safe, only to find it empty. Just as I had suspected, the contracts were indeed gone.

For good measure, I rang up my friend who worked at the bank to double-check things for me. She told me that the repayment process was actually set in motion a week ago, and the final procedures were just completed yesterday.

I asked her to keep a special eye on my account and notify me immediately of any activity. Having dealt with banks multiple times, I knew their procedures well. Large transactions needed appointments, so there would be enough time to prepare.

She told me that each bank had its own rules, and her bank recently introduced a new one. Customers who had just repaid their mortgage needed to wait a full payment cycle before they could apply for another one.

So, there would be no new mortgages in the near future!

Upon hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief. The wait would be stress-free for me, and I wouldn't give Jaylan any chance to act.

When I returned downstairs, I found the new glass installed. My heart lightened.

I checked the time and called Catherine, asking her if she was going to the celebration party tonight.

"Of course, I'm going! I can't miss such a big event. I just got the company's invitation to dress up and show up," she replied immediately.

I chuckled, "Then I am heading to the salon, do you want to join?"

"Absolutely! Who will entertain you if I'm not there? I need to cover you in case something happens!" She replied, teasingly. "Which one? Mane Event?"

I nodded in agreement. Catherine was always the best wing woman for things I couldn't handle myself.

I smirked, "You guys are too sweet. This dress is something I bought a while ago. I was in a rush today and didn't have time to shop. I'm just showing up, why should I dress up like a peacock?"

Catherine snorted, "Well, you never know. Your husband Dawslug has his own fan club, you think you can keep a low profile?"

I glared at her through the mirror and she quickly shut up, realizing her slip.

Catherine is like my other half, always speaking her mind. The fact is, most people in the beauty industry knew Jaylan.

He was a model example of a successful transformation and rapid rise, a famous figure in the Goldenvale Town beauty industry. Everyone knew his Cinderella story of marrying me and his sudden rise to fortune. It was the hottest gossip among them.

Many were envious of his good luck, feeling off-balance whenever they saw him. Jaylan was always proud of his story, and whenever he came to the salon, he was dressed in his finest - as if he was about to walk the runway at Fashion Week.
