Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 112

I could see Jaylan was reaching his breaking point, and a tiny part of me reveled in it. I kept up the

pressure, "I've been trying to create a positive corporate image for Medsafe Liyah Inc., tirelessly Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

networking and negotiating with a smile on my face all while battling my deteriorating health. And here

you are, seemingly hell-bent on sabotaging it all.

Are you tired of our comfortable lifestyle? Do you think that running a successful company is a piece of

cake? Where have you been investing all your time and energy? If you're not interested in managing

our company, just say the word and I'll take over. I'd rather that than listen to your constant complaints

about being busy, tired, or how difficult it is. If you're not up for the job, then do something you like!"

Jaylan looked flustered, trying to regain his composure, "Honey, please calm down. You get me wrong."

"Seriously?" I threw my head back and laughed, tears streaming down my face. "Oh, how I've wronged

you! You've had the audacity to offend the Business Bureau's Director in Goldenvale Town, is there

anything you won't dare to do? I've indeed wronged you!" I pointed at Jaylan, took a deep breath and

continued, "Do you realize that the invitation was just a foot in the door, not an automatic win? Without

Geneva working her magic behind the scenes, do you honestly believe that your good looks alone

could secure international orders? You're a short-sighted man."

I never imagined I'd resort to hurling such harsh words at Jaylan.

The harshest ones I swallowed, biting my tongue. I wanted to say, "You're only good for flirting with

women, only thinking with your lower half. An animal."

But that one sentence was enough to hurt Jaylan. It was the worst thing I could say, a direct attack on

his pride.

Jaylan sat stiffly, his face a mask of terror. I expected an outburst, but I'd overestimated him. Instead,

he wore a face full of guilt and mumbled an apology.

See? That's the face of a small-town man. You push, he retreats. I couldn't fathom why I'd ever fallen

for such a man.

"Me wronged you? Who called you to the hotel? Do you take me for a fool?" I yelled, unable to control

my feelings anymore. "Jaylan, I really overestimated you. You've been played by a nanny, and you

don't trust your own wife. I'm done with you!"

Jaylan was speechless, his face ashen. On the other side, Zora, who had been doing her best to fade

into the background, was giving me a hostile look. Without warning, I called her out, which scared her

to death.

"Zora, I treated you like a sister when you came to this house. I paid you well and treated you with

respect. We shared meals, and you never lacked for clothes or gifts. Tell me, where did I wrong you

that you feel the need to sow discord, to attack my marriage? Do you think I'm so ill, so deluded?"

I glared at her, each word hitting its mark. Her expression changed immediately.

"And what did you do? Tell me, you coveted my husband and repaid my kindness with betrayal!"

Zora immediately protested, "Madam, I didn't..."

"You dare to deny it? Then tell me, what didn't you do? Didn't sow discord? Didn't ruin our relationship?

So how did you know I was at that hotel? How did Jaylan end up there? Why did you take him there?

Tell me, why were you following me?"

My barrage of questions left her no chance to interrupt.

She wants to deny it? I'd make sure she ran out of lies.

She looked guilty, nervous or indifferent, I couldn't tell. She kept darting glances at Jaylan, but I knew

him too well. He was in no position to defend her now.

"Fine, since you've decided to betray me, I won't let this slide. Pack your things and leave my house

immediately! We no longer require your services." I said decisively to Zora, "I will not tolerate anyone

disrupting my family's harmony."

To my surprise, Zora's demeanor changed completely at my words.
