Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 177

I questioned with a skeptical gaze, "Why?"

"If the child is indeed missing, the police would have to question you as well. It's standard procedure!"

Ronan said to me solemnly, "After all, you're involved in this case, and from your position and

perspective, you are a suspect."

Addrion looked at me with an exasperated expression. "This is just ridiculous! Can't catch a break! Now

you are a suspect!"

Feeling deflated, I turned to Catherine, who was still waiting on the line. "I guess I will get back soon. If

there's any important news, let me know immediately."

"Don't worry! Who are you with?" she asked in an annoyingly playful tone.

"Why are you so nosy? Goodbye!" I hung up the phone, annoyed.

My emotions were a whirlwind. Marissa's child went missing at this time? It couldn't just be a

coincidence. The next day was the day for foreign investors' inspection.

Why did I feel something wrong?

"You don't need to worry. Even if there is an investigation, it's just routine police work." Ronan tried to

comfort me. "If there's anything else you need to do or haven't finished yet, you can tell me. I'll take

care of it."

I shook my head, my mind still spinning. "Why do I feel like there's more to this?"

"Do you mean Jaylan has something to do with this?" Addrion asked, looking at me.

I glanced at him. "It's quite possible. Otherwise, why would the child go missing at this crucial time?"

"All men, good or bad, rarely illtreat their own children...." Addrion started.

"Don't forget that I'm still his wife. For his own benefits, he could do anything." I interrupted him before

he could finish. "Besides, he might not mean any harm to the child, just trying to divert public attention."

"Stupid!" Addrion said, shaking his head. If Jaylan really had a mastermind behind him, this idea could

not be worse.

"On the contrary, this might just catch everyone off guard." Ronan said, standing up first. "Let's go

home."

"Right." I agreed, standing up as well. "We need to get home quickly. There's still a lot I haven't told my

parents. Addrion, you need to focus on your treatment. Once we regain control of Medsafe Liyah Inc.,

you'll give it your all. Medsafe Liyah Inc. can survive without me, but not without you, Addrion."

It was my sincere thought. For a moment, I seriously considered handing over the company to Addrion

once we regained control, because I still had Oldtown Avenue. That was my father's lifelong dream. I This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

had already let my parents down for ten years, and I couldn't let them wait any longer.

Maybe, just like Addrion had asked me earlier, what was my plan after regaining control of Medsafe

Liyah Inc.? I should return to Silverdale City to be with my parents.

Addrion laughed like a child at my words. "Oh, come off it! Without you, we can't do anything. But

without Ronan, we can manage just fine."

I snorted, giving him a sidelong glance, "Here we go again!"

Ronan scoffed at him, draping an arm around my shoulder. "Let's go."

"Hey!... Ronan, that's crossing the line! What do you think you're doing with that hand?" Addrion

shouted, hunching over and taking a step forward. "Did you hear me? Take your hands off her!"

Ronan ignored him and walked off, dragging me along. I waved at Addrion as we left. "Take care!"

Ronan forced me to face forward, saying, "Don't keep lingering with a married man."

I shot him an angry look, retorting, "I'm a married woman, remember?"

Although I said this, I couldn't help feeling a sweet sensation. From these words, I understood Ronan

was not married.

I sighed at my shamelessness. I was a mother of three, but I was pining for this eligible bachelor.

Enough was enough!

When we got in the car, he reassured me, "You don't need to feel any pressure. If the police really

come to you, just cooperate."

"I know. Don't worry. I haven't done anything wrong, so what do I have to fear?" I laughed. "I can’t wait

to get back and watch this drama unfold to see who ends up with the child."

Everyone had their own hidden agendas. I just wanted to reclaim what was mine. As for what they did

or how they did it, I didn’t care. I was happy to benefit from it. For me, this was going to be quite a

show!
