Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 236

I chuckled and gave her a sidelong glance, "Don't spill the beans. Show some class, won't you?"

"Damn, I lack class? Just you wait and see!" Catherine taunted me with a raised eyebrow, "I know him very well."

Hannah and I couldn't hold back our laughter.

Then, she playfully nudged me and whispered, "Three o'clock."

I glanced at the direction Catherine mentioned and to my surprise, it was Irving's wife, Olivia!

"It seems Irving has made his appearance!" I murmured, then turned to Catherine, "Try to dig something out from this Olivia. She wants to collaborate closely with Medsafe Liyah Inc., doesn’t she? Let's find out what that means!"

"Roger that!" Catherine accepted the task, and we moved towards them.

Sure enough, Olivia immediately spotted me, her target, and quickly left the group she was chatting with to approach us.

From a distance, she beamed and called out, "Oh, Mrs. Dawson! I've been waiting for you for a long time, finally I see you! I knew you'd come, this is the Dawson family's turf after all!"

I smiled and replied warmly, "Just call me Aaliyah! In this kind of setting, it might cause confusion!" I pointed at Hazel, "How could I steal the limelight from my mother-in-law!"

Olivia immediately giggled, seemingly bridging the distance between us.

"Aaliyah, you're truly modest!"

"Mrs. Bradlee, where's your husband?" Catherine intentionally asked, craning her neck to look around.

"Is it true? Are they really going to join hands?" Catherine pushed further, "Then you guys will be on the same side!"

Olivia was clearly pleased with this comment and immediately replied, "Irving and Mr. Dawson want to expand their scale, right? Mr. Dawson also hopes to have a seat in the pharmaceutical industry! Besides, cancer drugs are quite profitable, who wouldn't want a slice of that cake!"

As soon as she finished her sentence, I exchanged a look with Catherine, an unspoken understanding between us.

Sure enough, they were aiming at VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals. My father hadn't officially discussed the project with Jaylan yet, but this woman already knew it was about cancer drugs.

It's clear that the old fox in my parents’ house was working. She passed on the conversation between my father and Bennett Richardson. While Irving and Jaylan had already planned their strategy. No wonder Irving looked so confident today!

I turned to Olivia and whispered, "Irving is slicker than buttered bread, always chasing after the sizzling bacon. You'd better be careful since it is still a project discussion phase and it's confidential. Beware of others exploiting this. Besides, the budget investment is not small, and we don't know who will get it. So, don't jump the gun, or we just might end up shooting ourselves in the foot if we can't clinch the deal!"
