Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 425

Jaylan's eyes narrowed at my words, then he crawled a step closer. "Allie, you gotta help me out here!

No matter what, you were the one who built Medsafe Liyah Inc. from the ground up. You can't just

stand by and watch it crumble, right?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I let out an exasperated chuckle and casually swiped on my phone before carelessly tossing it onto the

couch, "Oh, so now you remember that I started it? Your family, the Dawsons, always hated when I

brought that up, didn't they?" I said with a sneer. "When trouble strikes, it's mine, but when the going's

good, you act like I'm a stranger. So typical."

"Besides, is it even my Medsafe Liyah Inc. anymore?" I locked eyes with Jaylan as I asked, and he

guiltily met my gaze before looking away, the color in his eyes deepening.

I knew exactly what he was thinking. After all, he knew what he had done.

That so-called stock gift and management authorization document that I was supposed to have signed

for Medsafe Liyah Inc. – I might not know the full truth, but did he think I was clueless?

Legally, Medsafe Liyah Inc. belonged entirely to him now, but the way it had happened was anything

but transparent. I was sure he understood the implication of my words.

Unless he was a complete fool.

From his look, I knew he was thinking about that. But the confusion in his eyes told me he wasn't

entirely sure whether I knew the whole truth or not.

I left it at that. I intended to give him a surprise gift of sorts.

Shifting gears, I questioned, "Isn't Medsafe Liyah Inc. belonged to the Dawsons now? From top to

bottom, filled with your cronies. I feel like a thief in my own company. Now you tell me it's mine?"

He didn't respond, just kept scrutinizing me, trying to figure out my thoughts.

"Well, it is mine indeed! I thought you'd forgotten that too!" I saw a spark of hope in Jaylan's eyes as I

spoke. The tone of my words now was vastly different from before, filled with resentment.

I was furious, accusing him of betrayal. I saw hope flicker in his eyes, and he crawled closer, this time

grabbing my hand without hesitation. I couldn't pull away.

"Babe, listen to me," he pleaded. "I regret letting those clowns in. They're useless when it really

matters. Look, I've brought in Caleb, trust me. Just give me some time, and I'll send them packing back

to wherever they crawled out from, okay?

But right now, we need to stick together to get through this tough spot. I never expected things to get

this bad, to affect Medsafe Liyah Inc.! I've always been extra careful, but this time…"

He was a smooth talker, no doubt about that. He deserved an award for it.

"Ha, 'extra careful,' you say? Taking Renata to a hotel and making it public knowledge. If that's you

being careful, I'd hate to see you reckless," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm but softer than

before.

Jaylan perked up, immediately putting on a smile. "Honey, would you believe me if I said nothing

happened between us?"

I smirked but kept silent, feigning disinterest as I stood up.

"Just what?" I pressed.

He averted his gaze, and I knew he wouldn't tell the truth.

"You're still making excuses? With your photos online and the police record as clear as day, you dare

lie to me?" I shrugged off his grasp and stood up. "Jaylan, not only are you a womanizer, but a liar too!

You create a mess and still lie?" Draмanоvеls.com

Damn! That felt good. The perfect height and distance made it too tempting.
