Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 96

I abruptly stood up, my eyes darting between Catherine and Elbert. "I get it now. I know why Jaylan

suddenly stopped drugging me!"

Catherine immediately pounced on this. "What do you mean? Is there another reason?"

"Jaylan stopped drugging me, allowing me to drag out an ignoble existence because he has also

anticipated this outcome. If I had died, my parents would undoubtedly have raised objections against

Medsafe Liyah Inc. That company is the painstaking effort of the Wilburn family, They have built it on

their entire life savings. They wouldn't let it go easily."

Catherine, vigorously nodding, agreed. "Of course! I wouldn't believe it either!"

"Moreover, if the old manor of our family in Silverdale City is relocated, its value could match or even

exceed that of several or up to ten Medsafe Liyah Inc.. Coupled with shares in VitalAxis

Pharmaceuticals, Jaylan would be in a precarious position." My thoughts were becoming clearer.

"He must have realized that the only way the Wilburn family could uncover his scheme would be to Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

shortsell Medsafe Liyah Inc. and reclaim their ownership. On the contrary, if I'm alive and he can try

harder to win me over, he could squeeze out another round of assets from the Wilburn family." A tear

rolled down my cheek before I could stop it.

I quickly cleaned my tear and continued, "As long as I'm alive, my parents will eventually transfer these

funds to me."

"Damn it! No wonder he's pretending to be the dutiful husband and doing the lovey-dovey stuff with you

everywhere!" Catherine cursed indignantly. "What a devious asshole!"

I chuckled. "And then, he'll mediate and swindle my backers, leaving him safe and sound."

"He's so calculating!"

I nodded. "Catherine, if we hadn't met Daniel that day, we wouldn't have known he was investigating

VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals. We wouldn't have realized he was already planning his next move."

"It's fated! If God doesn’t want you to die, no one can!" Catherine comforted me.

"Perhaps this is the real reason I'm still alive. I should thank God for these coincidences that allowed

me to escape Jaylan's clutches. I can’t believe that Silverdale City would even have such a plan!"

"But it's just a plan right now!" Catherine pointed out. "I did hear about it last time I was there, and the

rumors were rampant, but it's unclear when it will actually be implemented."

"That's why I need to go back to Silverdale City. As long as this plan isn't implemented, I am safe. This

news can't disappear. If it does, he'll make a move again." I said with self-mockery, "It seems I really

can't count on these funds."

Elbert nodded. "That's true. Given what you've said, Jaylan must be keeping a close eye on all these.

Your idea is brilliant. You sell it and buy it back immediately. When everything's back in your hands, you

can gradually raise the price. You won't lose anything, and you might even make a huge profit. But the

capital required is no small sum."

"Wait!" I stopped, puzzled. "This doesn't sound like Jaylan."

"What made you say that?" Catherine asked.

"As far as I know Jaylan, he doesn't have such a meticulous mind for economics." I stated with

certainty. "There must be a mastermind behind him!"

"You mean Marissa? Surely not!" Catherine looked at me with disdain.

"Of course not! She isn’t that good!" I affirmed. "Such a long-term plan isn't something she can control.

There's definitely someone backing Jaylan!"

"Could it be Jerome?"

I shook my head. At that moment, I remembered his other phone. I didn't know any of the contacts in it.

I quickly brought out my new phone. I'd been keeping this phone hidden, fearing Jaylan would find it. I

pulled up the data I'd taken from his other phone and handed it to Catherine. "Catherine, we need

Logan to look into these people. These are the contacts from Jaylan's secret phone, and I’ve got some

information, too. I suspect these people are not simple."

Then, I turned to Elbert. "I've lived with him for ten years, but I don't recognize a single person here.

This must be his other social circle. We might be able to find some clues."

Elbert took the phone, glanced at the data, and asked for my permission. "Can I make a copy?"

I nodded. "Of course."

They both copied the data, and I told Catherine, "Keep all of this safe for me. I can't keep it on my

phone anymore. Jaylan is getting suspicious. I must clear this phone!"
