Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 258

I was so nervous when I saw the results showing the chromosomes in a high degree of similarity,

kinship, but not father and son.

My hand tightened, and my heart rate began to flutter.

Gevena turned to me, "What's up?"

I briefly mentioned the test results to her.

Gevena asked me directly, "Who do you think it is?" NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

I shook my head, filled with worry, "I can't hazard a guess." I pulled Gevena aside, towards a corner of

the room where we had a clear view of the entire hall. No risk of eavesdroppers here.

Then, I turned to Gevena, my voice weak, "But I have this feeling, there's something off about Clara. I

suspect she's tied up with Jerome somehow. I just don't have anything on her yet."

Gevena tried to comfort me, "Don't stress too much. Even if it is Jerome, what then? I can't believe he

could get away with everything. Stir up a storm?"

I looked at Gevena, speaking earnestly, "Gevena, you don't understand the depths of their cruelty.

Jerome has connections overseas, he controls the black market, what we know is just the tip of the

iceberg. And Clara, she knows too much. If she's in cahoots with Jerome, that's a terrifying prospect."

The mere thought made me feel drained.

Gevena looked at me in disbelief, "So, what's your next move?"

I remained silent for a moment, then murmured, "One step at a time."

Gevena didn't understand, her gaze filled with confusion, "What do you mean?"

I looked at her, explaining, "I'll start with the two sisters, Zora and Clara. Zora thought she could just

walk away from everything, that the past would be forgotten. She was deluded! Marissa's death might

be connected to them. She thinks that they can do as they please after I drove them out, but I'll show

them."

"They thought it was water under the bridge!" Gevena also snorted.

"Water under the bridge?" I gave Gevena a look, raised an eyebrow, "Hardly! The things she has done

to me are too numerous to record. The memory of that pain still lingers. And now she's living in my

house, enjoying life. Does she think I'm a pushover?"

"Indeed, she's having the time of her life!"

"I didn't move against her earlier because I didn't want to spook the herd, especially when Jaylan

controlled everything. But it's different now. All those mortgages have been cleared, she needs to get

out. Even if I have to donate everything, I won't leave a single penny for them, including the Dawson

family. Anything they took from me, they'll have to spit it back out!"

"But that's just the tip of the iceberg. What if he refuses to give up the rest?" Gevena appeared worried,

"Jaylan's no fool, he's been so cautious this time, it's clear that whatever's left..."

"He doesn't have a choice! Don't forget, he has a greedy heart! It's in the Dawson family's nature. The

Wilburn family still has a whole block, not to mention VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals..." I laughed at Gevena,

"Do you think he could resist?"

"Ha... he's even eyeing that?" Gevena was incredulous, "He's asking for trouble!"

"He's already planned with Irving Bradlee to undermine the Wilburn family, should I let him off?" I

scoffed, then continued, "The child missing case is what Zora's doing. I'm sure of it. Gevena, I... I want

to save that child! Regardless, the child is innocent."

Gevena looked surprised, seemingly shocked by my words. She stared at me for a while before asking,

"Are you sure?"
