Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 131

His voice was as steady as a calm sea, devoid of any emotional upheaval, "How should I put it? It's a

bit of both, yes and no."

Impatient for answers, I pressed, "What do you mean by yes and no? Just spit it out. I can handle

whatever the truth is. I narrowly escaped death once, and now all I have left is a thirst for retribution.

Tell me the truth, Addrion. I need to know."

Upon hearing my plea, Addrion gazed at me, steadying his emotions for a while before he spoke again,

"Indeed, all the misfortunes I have endured are directly linked to the Dawson brothers. They schemed

against me, resulting in my expulsion from Medsafe Liyah Inc. However, the story doesn't end there."

"Start from the beginning! I want to know everything." I was desperate to understand what had

transpired with Addrion all those years ago.

Lowering his gaze, Addrion rubbed his hands together nervously, seemingly unsure where to begin, as

if the memories were too painful to revisit.

After what felt like an eternity, he lifted his eyes and began his story, "After you handed over Medsafe

Liyah Inc. to Jaylan, at first, he seemed quite dedicated. He was respectful to all of us managers,

treating us with the utmost courtesy. Back then, Jaylan was humble, taking charge of every single task,

familiarizing himself with the company from the ground up. After getting a solid understanding of the

company's operations, he went on a tour, with Marissa always by his side. They visited all our

suppliers, distributors, and customers!"

I listened quietly, eager to know every detail.

"But things changed when they returned," Addrion's expression morphed into one of contempt.

I understood immediately. Marissa had woven her web.

"The first one to be targeted was Farris, the financial director. All the transactions were controlled and

major decisions were made by Jaylan, executed and overseen by Marissa.

Naturally, this didn't sit well with Farris, who raised his objections and discussed the issue with Jaylan

several times. However, Jaylan continued his autocratic ways.

Later, an error in a financial transaction occurred, and Farris was dismissed on this pretext. Unwilling to

accept this, Farris stormed the board meeting, only to be physically assaulted that very night." Addrion

clenched his fist, "You know, Farris is a very stubborn and dedicated person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have

recommended him to you in the first place!"

I nodded. Farris, the financial director of Medsafe Liyah Inc., was actually Addrion's cousin. This was a

secret only known to me and Addrion. Farris was incredibly diligent, not even Addrion could misuse the

company's funds without his notice. I trusted him.

"Later, Farris secretly told me about his suspicions regarding Jaylan and Marissa. I didn't fully believe

him at first, especially since you had asked Marissa to assist Jaylan before you left. I knew about that."

I let out a bitter laugh, "I didn't realize how naive I was until now!"

Addrion shook his head, "You can't blame yourself. People can be unpredictable."

"What happened next?" I was growing impatient. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Things didn't stop with Farris' leave. On the contrary, one by one, managers and directors were

suppressed without exception. By then, Marissa wielded significant power and her tactics were

extremely ruthless. She individually held meetings with each of the managers and directors, demanding

they relinquish control of their key operations, under the pretext that Mr. Dawson wanted to fully

understand the workings of Medsafe Liyah Inc." Addrion said gravely, "You know, we were very tight-

knit, and we had secret meetings to generate some strategies. But whoever took the lead was

targeted!"

"Those bastards!" I couldn't help but curse.

"I tried reaching out to you and even visited your home, but Jaylan was the one to receive me. He told

me you had gone abroad!" Addrion looked at me, "I was truly worried then."

"But I didn't go anywhere!" I told Addrion, "They drugged me, and all I did was sleep day in and day

out!"

Addrion continued, "I was worried, so I called off their resistance and advised them to voluntarily

surrender control of their key operations, to see how things would unfold. But they were soon one by

one ousted, replaced by the Dawson family's loyalists. I was becoming increasingly isolated and

helpless!"
