Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 92

Marissa planted her feet firmly, fire flaring in her eyes as she yelled, “What the hell do you want?”

Her shout had been so loud that a child's cry echoed from inside the house. Soon after, another roar of

anger sounded, “What are you trying to do? Can't I get a moment's peace?”

Then, Jaylan's figure appeared in the frame. I chuckled to myself, thinking, “he was there after all.”

The moment Jaylan stepped out, Hazel's fury ignited. Without any warning, she slapped Marissa hard

on the face. “You slut, didn't you say he wasn't here? You dare to lie to me. You've overstepped your

boundaries.”

Stunned by the slap, Marissa clutched her face, staring at Jaylan in shock. Upon seeing this, Jaylan's

anger flared instantly. He roared, “Mom, what the hell are you doing?”

“What do you think? This bitch was stopping me and you dare to say you didn't hear? Who does she Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

think she is, daring to get in my way?” Hazel's fiery temper from her days in the old neighborhood

flared up. She stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at her son, “Are you trying to be like her?

Aaliyah has never treated me like this. You've changed, even shouting at me.”

Perhaps encouraged by Jaylan's defense, Marissa pushed Jaylan aside and took a step forward,

staring down Hazel and saying, “Let me tell you, your son asked me to tell you he's not here. Don't

mention Aaliyah in front of me. If you think she's so great, go find her. Don't forget, the Dawson family

owes its success to me. If I hadn't stepped in, Medsafe Liyah Inc. would have fallen…”

Before she could finish, Jaylan raised his hand and slapped her. “Shut up!”

Marissa's words didn't finish, her eyes wide with shock as she looked at the furious Jaylan, her eyes

filling with tears.

Hazel was pleased with this and said, “She deserves it! She's getting too big for her boots, even daring

to say that. You really have the nerve to say, Medsafe…”

“Mom!” Jaylan quickly cut her off. “I want both of you to shut up!”

Marissa saw Jaylan stopping Hazel again and, without a second thought, rushed forward. She no

longer cared about maintaining her dignified elegance. She stretched her neck and yelled at Hazel,

“Yes, Aaliyah is great, but so what? You're such a money pit, and even a gold mine would be emptied

by you. All you want is money and then to show off. What else can you do?”

Hazel was left speechless, staring at Marissa with her mouth agape.

Marissa wasn't done. She turned to glare at Jaylan, “And you Jaylan, who gives you the right to hit me?

Have you used me up and now you're ready to get rid of me?”

She snapped at Jaylan, her pointed questions making him flinch.

Then she touched her face. “How dare you hit me? I helped you acquire Medsafe Liyah Inc., gave birth

to a son for your family, and now you want to get rid of me, just like you did with Aaliyah? No way…”

Before she could finish, an astonishing scene unfolded. Jaylan suddenly raised his foot and kicked

Marissa out of the way. There was a thud, but it was unclear where she landed.

Jaylan quickly walked to the door, grabbed the handle, and slammed it shut. All that was left in the

frame was the door and the heart-wrenching cries of a child.

Although the screen froze, the sounds of shouting and crying could be heard. At first, there were angry

shouts, then the sounds of a fight, and the child's cries. The cacophony filled my ears, but it gradually

quieted down. The situation inside could only be imagined.

I listened with interest, feeling no guilt.

After the screen went black, Catherine called me on video chat. I quickly answered, her grinning face

filling the screen. She laughed gleefully as she asked me, “How was that? Feel better?”

“Much better.” I was moved by her excitement, I grinned and asked, “How did you manage that?”

Catherine chuckled and said, “I simply played into her weaknesses. That's Hazel's greed. I dropped a

hint in the "Top-notch Hotshots" group chat and she fell for it.”

“What hint?” I asked.
