Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 276

Hearing her talk like that, to be honest, I wanted to slap her right across the face. But I held back my urge. She held grudges, so I couldn't afford to offend her.

"Who else knows you've moved Evan?" I asked, staring at her. This was the crux of the matter, "And don't tell me no one knows."

"Only Maddox and I knew about it." Clara raised her head to look at me, "So, I was puzzled and dared not make it public. But the only person I could tell was you."

I stood up, towering over her, "You'd better tell me everything. If Evan is in danger, you are just as culpable as Zora."

Clara suddenly looked up, her face pale and her eyes filled with fear.

I stared at her for a moment, then bent down to meet her gaze, "When did you meet Renata?" I asked unexpectedly.

Her pupils contracted in surprise and her lips trembled, avoiding my gaze.

"Speak!" I demanded forcefully.

"I don't know her. She... I..." Clara stammered, clearly lacking confidence.

"You don't know her, yet you dare plot against me for her. Do you think I'm oblivious to your actions? And you dare to lie to me, so is this your idea of trust? Should I trust you?" I stepped forward, "Clara, I really underestimated you. Do you know your actions are even more devious than Zora's?" I was gritting my teeth as I said this, realizing Clara was a nuisance.

"No, Ms. Aaliyah. I really didn't know the medicine she gave me was for you." Clara tried to justify herself and reached out to grab my hand.

Hannah snorted, "Remove your hand."

Forced to let go of my hand, Clara continued to plead her case, "I'm telling the truth, and I didn't mean to harm you, Ms. Aaliyah. You're the kindest, most trustworthy, and reliable person in my heart."

Her face stiffened, seeming a bit shaken.

I was certain she was still hiding something from me.

"Do you think the issue with Renata is over? Don't be delusional. Disrupting Goldenvale Town's international trade gala, such an important event isn't the same as a private party hosted by Medsafe Liyah Inc. She won't get off the hook this time, and do you think you can escape responsibility?"

My words were like a boulder bearing down on her, her face growing paler by the second.

Then I added, "Now tell me, who do you think took Evan? Don't tell me you have no idea."

Clara looked at me, visibly less composed, and stuttered, "I truly don't know, but I've lost something."
