Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 311

The message came from Logan.

At first, I thought that Jaylan had tipped off Jerome, and I was kicking myself.

But Hannah had managed to track his afternoon movements, and he hadn't met with Jerome. Instead,

he'd met with a client, drinking until three in the afternoon at a local pub. There was nothing suspicious

about the meeting at all. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

I was confused. Who had made that dropped call to him?

And why on earth had Jerome disappeared at such a crucial moment?

Without thinking, I texted Logan, sending just a question mark.

Not long after, Logan responded with a video link. I clicked on it right away.

A cordon had been put up at the location of the storm drain in the village where Evan's accident was

shown in the video. Police were searching the storm drain in hopes of finding Evan's body.

To be honest, seeing this image churned my stomach. I wasn't sure if they would find anything.

Outside the cordoned-off area, many of the residents were watching the spectacle.

As I scrutinized the video, I spotted Jerome. He was at a small grocery store not far from the cordon.

After leaving the store, Jerome glanced at the police activity before casually walking across the street,

climbing into his car, and driving away.

I could hardly believe what I was seeing. How dare he blatantly check out the scene of the crime?

But as he stepped out of the grocery store, I paused the video and zoomed in. Sure enough, Jerome

was wearing black canvas shoes, the same ones he'd worn at the scene.

"I knew it. It's him, no doubt." I muttered to myself.

I dialed Logan's number immediately and asked, "How are you sure Jerome's missing? When was this

video taken? But he certainly has guts, daring to inspect the crime scene."

"The video was taken by someone I had tailing him. But after he left there, he disappeared," Logan

replied calmly.

"How could he just disappear? Didn't you have him followed?" I asked, a little puzzled.

"The guy tailing him lost him, and after that, there was no sign of him. Even his car disappeared. We

suspect something might be up with the car, but we haven't found any departure record yet. Perhaps

this is good news. As long as he's still in Goldenvale Town, we can handle it."

"Your guy must be a professional, right? How could he lose him?" I questioned, "This is getting strange,

isn't it?"

"Jerome was alert. Plus, there are many blind spots around that neighborhood, making it easy for him

to switch cars or hide. This indicates one thing."

"What's that?" I asked impatiently.

"It means Jerome is very familiar with that area." Logan analyzed.

I pondered for a moment. How could he be familiar with that place?

"Are you sure he's missing?" I asked, somewhat frustrated, "If he's run off, that would be bad."

Logan said, "We haven't had any sign of him for six hours. If that doesn't say something, I don't know

what does. Besides, he disappeared after shaking off our guy. We must alert him. You guys be careful

out there."

I nodded, "So, what do we do now?"

Logan casually replied, "We can find a way to lure him out. "

"How?" I asked eagerly, feeling a bit uneasy. If Jerome got away scot-free, that would be a problem.

"There are ways. We'll have to see how fast the police can search." Logan hinted.

After a bit more chit-chat, we ended the call.

I sat on the couch, phone in hand, lost in thought. A daring idea formed in my mind.
