Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 247

Then, I retreated into a corner with Mrs. Arlen, chatting for a while. She asked me a lot of questions

about Evan - more questions than the police had asked.

What surprised me more is that she didn't hold back and asked about the scandal between Jaylan and

Marissa!

Clearly, she already knew about my ordeal.

Surprised as I was, I had to tell her the truth. She also asked about my condition when I was ill, and I

didn’t hide anything.

Her face turned grim, "I didn't expect Jaylan to be so audacious. Why would you tolerate such

arrogance? Why didn't you call the police!"

I chuckled lightly, saying seriously, "It’s not that I could tolerate it, the matter is complicated and

involves a lot. There are many mysteries that I can't explain." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Mrs. Arlen looked at me with confusion, her eyes full of questions. So, I briefly explained the strange

things that couldn't be explained.

Mrs. Arlen was shocked and looked at me incredulously, "Are you saying that even public officials are

involved?"

I nodded solemnly, "Probably!"

She swore fiercely, "Those bastards! They dare to ignore the law!"

"That's why I'm worried, the child may be in danger!" I hinted anxiously, "The one who took the child

should be someone familiar!"

"So, the child's mother should know the child's whereabouts?" Mrs. Arlen was clever, "Otherwise, she

wouldn't have confronted you so aggressively!"

"But now, Marissa is dead without any evidence!" I spoke bluntly, "All this indicates that there must be a

mastermind behind the scenes!"

"It seems like there's no smoke without fire!" Mrs. Arlen muttered, which made me jump. It seemed that

Mrs. Arlen knew something, but I didn't think it appropriate to inquire further.

While we were talking, I noticed Jerome, with his hands in his pockets, weaving his way through the

crowd and heading outside.

Just then, someone came over to greet Mrs. Arlen. We exchanged pleasantries, and when I looked up

again, I saw Clara, like a sprightly goldfish, also slipping out of the hall. From Clara's cautious

expression, it seemed she was trying to keep a low profile.

An idea flashed in my mind. Was it Jerome who had called Clara away?

I quickly signaled to Hannah, and quietly instructed her to check if it was Jerome who had called Clara.

Hannah accepted the task and leisurely left the hall.

Just then, Hazel strutted over. I knew exactly what she was up to.

Honestly, her nouveau riche attitude made me nauseous, but it was too late to avoid her. I forced a

smile and greeted her with a saccharine, "Hazel!"

Oddly enough, she didn’t act as strange as usual, but stood beside me with a full-faced smile, giving

the impression of a harmonious mother-daughter-in-law relationship.

I was puzzled. Who had coached Hazel? She had even learned how to play both sides.

Gevena, a smart person, knew the tension between Hazel and me. She quickly stepped in to smooth

things over, “Mrs. Dawson, you’re so lucky to have such an outstanding daughter-in-law like Aaliyah.

Look how she’s taken the whole family to new heights!”

“Yes, our Aaliyah is quite outstanding! She’s the lucky one, having such distinguished friends. It’s all

thanks to your support that we have what we have today!”

After saying that, she lavished praise on Mrs. Arlen, which gave me goosebumps.

Seeing that they were getting along, I quietly exited their circle, keeping an eye on the door, but

Hannah had yet to return.

Curiosity was getting the better of me, and I made my way towards the door, greeting the guests along

the way.
