Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 106

Zora, scared yet unyielding, retorted, "Don't you dare look at me like that! I'm the only one here who's

truly dedicated to serving you! You better not freeze me out, mister!"

Jaylan averted his gaze, slumping into the couch, a picture of weariness. His voice, slightly rough,

echoed in the room, "Don't you dare overstep your bounds. I am well aware of your efforts, but I don't

respond to threats." Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Zora, taking a step closer to Jaylan, placed her hands on his shoulders. Seeing no resistance from him,

she began to gently massage them as she continued, "I've never intended to threaten you. I know you

must have other women out there..." As Zora gained confidence, she dared to broach the topic. Her

words were abruptly cut off as Jaylan, who had been resting his eyes, sharply opened them, causing

Zora to flinch instinctively.

"Mind your manners, woman. Don't assume that just because you're close to me, you can entertain

wild fantasies. One should always know their place. I don't mistreat anyone. But if you continue to

bother me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Ha! That has to be the funniest thing I've ever heard. He's a beast, yet he claims not to mistreat

anyone! Apparently, I'm not even considered human in his eyes.

Zora, undeterred by his icy words, knelt before him, attempting to wrap her arms around his neck, only

to be swiftly pushed away by Jaylan, "Get back to bed, I'm exhausted!"

Ignoring his dismissal, Zora audaciously moved her hand towards his lap, "Let me... help you relax!"

Jaylan swatted her hand away once more, "Back off!"

Angered and humiliated, Zora shot up, growling, "What, you prefer tender young girls over me? Be

careful, Jaylan! My sister isn't as docile as I am."

All I heard was Jaylan's cold snort, its meaning unclear. Zora's lips twitched in embarrassment. She

stood there awkwardly for a while before finally turning to leave.

In the next scene, the figure outside the door swiftly retreated barefoot, just as Zora exited the study.

Zora paused to glance in the direction Clara disappeared into, before retreating to her own room.

I focused on the lower floor's view where Clara hurried downstairs, pacing back and forth in the hallway

before disappearing. Jaylan, on the other hand, remained on the couch, lost in thought for a good

twenty minutes before finally getting up. I quickly shut off the surveillance video, checked my phone,

and placed it under me, feigning sleep.

Sure enough, Jaylan entered the room soon after, searching for my phone. He found it and quickly

retreated.

I squinted, watching him leave the room. I turned over, a scornful smile on my face. I had already

cleaned my phone thoroughly.

As expected, he returned to the room shortly, placing my phone back where he found it. But he didn't

return to bed. Instead, he left the room again. It seemed he was off to Clara's room. Jaylan really was a

creature of habit, always chasing after the new and forgetting the old.

His lascivious behavior disgusted me, and his departure was a welcome relief. I closed my eyes, ready

for some peace and quiet. But the conversation between Jaylan and Zora lingered in my mind. It was

imperative to find the drug she had.

The next day, I intentionally asked her to drive the kids to school by my car. She happily obliged, even

changing into a fresh outfit. Then she left, looking nothing like a nanny.

I took the opportunity to search the car she had been driving, but still couldn't find what I was looking

for. I was disheartened. Where on earth did she keep it?

That day, I stayed home, recharging my batteries. I shared the conversation between Zora and Jaylan

with Catherine. We agreed to lay a trap for Zora.
