Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 230

Hearing my query, Hannah glanced at me, "I'll have someone keep tabs on her. We'll figure out her

routine in a few days!"

"Not a bad idea. That girl is quite smart, never playing by the rules! It's necessary to have some

control!" My heart sank every time I thought of Clara's unpredictable characteristics. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

As soon as we got home, the property management staff followed us in, asking about the window

repairs. I told them to get someone over immediately.

Otherwise, looking at the gaping hole where the window used to be, I felt like it was an open wound,

unsettling to the core.

This home had always been my labor of love, but my emotions were different now.

In the past, I was a dutiful and considerate wife, always wanting to create more opportunities for Jaylan

to shine outside, hoping to elevate his stature.

Now, I wanted to transform this home into a warm haven for my children and me, our fortress of

strength. I yearned for the day Jaylan would regret leaving us.

Hannah watched as the property management staff worked on the window. I took this chance to call my

father, assuming Jaylan would be reaching out to him soon.

The moment the call connected, my father answered, "Sweetheart!"

I got straight to the point, "Dad, the overseas contract is settled. I predict we'll be back in Silverdale City

soon!"

"Jaylan has already shared the good news!" My father's voice was full of confidence, "This is a positive

development."

"I bet Jaylan has a spy in VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals. Otherwise, he wouldn't be this aggressive!" I

always had a hunch that Jaylan had targeted VitalAxis, "Dad, have someone reliable check if there's

someone named Daniel in VitalAxis!"

"There is, he's an external pharmaceutical agent!" My father said assuredly, "He's been there for a

year! I have all his information."

"No wonder!" I chuckled before continuing, "Dad, Jaylan is involving another pharmaceutical company

this time, Elixir Pharma Limited from Goldenvale Town!"

I told my father, "Seems like Jaylan came prepared!"

"Then let's follow his lead! I'll make sure they see the potential, worst comes to worst, we'll take over

Irving’s business!" My father's words took me by surprise, and images of Janetta and Nettie appeared

in my mind.

"If Irving proves untrustworthy or overly ambitious, we can simply take it over. That would further fortify

our stronghold in Goldenvale Town." My father's audacity amazed me, thinking a perfect solution to any

form of resistance.

"Dad, let me think about this!" I told my father, "There's something about Elixir Pharma Limited! Let's

not be hasty. I'll dig around at the party in our company tonight."

"Alright, let's see how far Jaylan's ambition stretches!" My father was unflappable, "He just got the hang

of mechanics, and now he wants a piece of the pharmaceutical pie, he's quite daring!"

"Ha... The key is that VitalAxis has ties to the Wilburn family. Whatever the Wilburn family has, he

wants a piece of it!" I said scornfully and indignantly. Then both my father and I fell silent.

I was truly remorseful, it felt like I'd let a wolf in sheep's clothing into our family, inviting trouble.

"Don't be too hard on yourself! If he wants to swallow our family, he'd better have a strong enough

bite!" My father's voice had a dark edge.

"Dad... I can't even imagine... If it weren't for you, the Wilburn family..." my voice trailed off.

"Honey, you're doing great. Even without me, you'd manage!"

"Are the three kids causing trouble?" I changed the topic, not wanting to continue this heavy

conversation.

"Of course not, they're doing great! The two older ones are helping with the Oldtown Avenue survey.

They're enthusiastic and motivated!" My father's laughter was particularly infectious when talking about

the children.

"What are they surveying?" I asked.
