Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 242

It was quite the grand affair today, with the influential figures of the city all gathered under one roof.

Noah Atwood, Geneva's husband, was in charge of business affairs, so it was expected that he would

attend, and naturally, Geneva would accompany him.

This grand event only inflated Jaylan's already inflated ego. Such a gathering was an unexpected

delight. Medsafe Liyah Inc. had hosted countless parties over the years, but in terms of prestige, this

one was unrivaled.

Jaylan was particularly vivid, his greetings and interactions full of etiquette. He not only gave a

comprehensive update on Medsafe Liyah Inc. to the high-ranking officials but also introduced them to

key executives of the company.

The officials seemed pleased, their eyes naturally drifted to Renata, who was inseparable from Jaylan's

side.

Renata, looking stunning and radiant, was a picture of perfect poise. As the hostess, she played her

role to perfection, an exquisite accessory to the event.

Jaylan quickly introduced Renata to the officials, clearly accustomed to using beauty as a gift.

But then things took an unexpected turn.

Mayor Arlen, after listening to Jaylan's introduction, gave him a sharp look, and rather than engaging

with Renata's friendly smile and extended hand, he asked Jaylan pointedly, "I've heard much about

your astute and capable wife, who is said to be the true founder of Medsafe Liyah Inc. Why isn't she

here today?"

The mayor's query caught everyone off guard, including me!

Jaylan's face turned from an exuberant red to a ghostly pale, his smile frozen on his face.

Ignoring Renata was a prudent move on Mayor Arlen's part. After all, this was a formal business event

filled with international guests. Every official was accompanied by their spouse, as were the foreign

guests. In such a setting, it was indeed foolish for Jaylan to introduce a woman of questionable

reputation to the mayor. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Jaylan's blunder was not due to ignorance but rather a result of his vanity.

After all, no man would willingly flirt with another woman in front of his wife, right?

The mayor, being the top official of Goldenvale Town, would certainly not make such a low level

mistake, as would any gentleman. Especially in such a formal setting, such a move was blatantly

inappropriate.

At this moment, I felt a sense of secondhand embarrassment for Jaylan.

I kept my eyes on Jaylan, his smile painfully frozen on his face.

He quickly scanned the crowd, explaining, "She's here, Mayor Arlen. My wife has been busy greeting

the guests, oh... there she is...” The moment he spotted me, he smiled with relief.

Renata, who was still standing beside him, followed his gaze towards me.

With a graceful smile, I walked over, extending my hand, "You flatter me, Mayor Arlen. Any success

Medsafe Liyah Inc. has achieved is due to the collective effort of all our employees.”

Mayor Arlen's face lit up with approval as he shook my hand, he then turned to his wife and introduced

me, "This is the true leader of Medsafe Liyah Inc., a woman who is every bit as capable as any man.

I've heard so much about her, and she's indeed extraordinary! You should definitely get to know her

when you have the chance!"

His introduction undoubtedly drew much attention, with many media cameras focusing on me. It was

indeed ironic. While I was being lambasted online, I was hailed as an elite by the mayor here. Isn't that

ironic?

The translators quickly relayed the mayor's words to the foreign guests.

Immediately, exclamations of admiration could be heard from the wives of the foreign guests.

The mayor's wife, a woman of no ordinary stature, held my hand and smiled, "Indeed, I've heard about

you. You were one of the top ten young entrepreneurs in Goldenvale Town, one of the few women in

business. I remember you clearly from my time at the city's labor union!”

Mayor Arlen laughed heartily, telling the foreign guests, "Our city, Goldenvale Town, has many young

female entrepreneurs who have made significant contributions. We have a wealth of talent that should

not be underestimated!"

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a glint of darkness flash through Renata's eyes.
