Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 395

But I was certain that Catherine must have been tailing Jaylan to the very end. That's just in her character. If you dare tell her not to do something, she'll do it just out of spite.. She's a real 'charge into the lion's den' kind of gal.

I couldn’t help sigh. It was because of me she was in this mess.

Glancing at my phone, I figured I wouldn't wait any longer. She'd seen my missed call. She'd call back the minute she could.

Reflecting on the day's events felt like I had ridden a roller coaster. The most unexpected twist? I had become a major shareholder in VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals, just like that.

I had to admit, my dad was really something. He played everyone like a chess master, even making a purge look like a walk in the park.

And Ronan, the 'executioner'? Man, he was on fire. How those two worked that silent pact without my knowledge was beyond me.

Looks like I had some serious learning to do. My dad's decisive ruthlessness was not to be underestimated.

No wonder Ronan hinted that my dad had an ace up his sleeve. An ace that proved to be ruthlessly efficient.

But I knew that what seemed straightforward was anything but. It required patience, endurance, and the ability to play the long game.

What level of cunning does one need to pull that off? When had my dad mastered that art? It was a mystery to me. He always seemed like a jolly, approachable guy. Who would have guessed he could be just as calculated and ruthless when the situation called for it?

Lost in these thoughts, I didn't realize when I drifted off to sleep. But it wasn't a peaceful rest; bizarre dreams haunted me all night.

After her disastrous public meltdown at the celebration party, she had become a scandal, and I heard she was fired from her TV gig. Her show had moved on with a new face.

She was notorious, the kind of person people crossed the street to avoid.

I had seen her once from a distance as she was entering a club on the arm of some older guy. It was Hannah who pointed her out to me. But I couldn't understand why she'd be picking up Jaylan from the airport.

At the celebration party, she was calling for Jerome in her drunken stupor. Jaylan had been so cold, instructing Jesper to take her away. What could possibly reconnect them?

Suddenly, a chilling thought crossed my mind, sending shivers down my spine...
