Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 335

I could tell by their weary faces that neither of them was innocent. So I pressed on, “You've been

complicit in this whole charade, showing up on my doorstep demanding Evan? Where was your

precious grandson hiding at first? Don’t tell me you didn’t know. You were part of the problem,

accomplices to the crime.

Marissa’s gone, and you think that snuffs out the truth about the scandal surrounding her and your

sons, right? But now Evan’s gone too, and suddenly the Dawson clan is innocent?”

My words were sharp and unrelenting.

Hazel bristled with rage, “Don’t spout such nonsense. That woman and her bastard child had nothing to

do with the Dawsons!”

Hannah and I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity. Hannah twirled on the spot and pointed at Hazel,

“Oh my, what’s coming out of your mouth? Now that they’re dead, you disown them? They’re watching

you, you know!”

With a mocking gesture, Hannah pointed to the heavens, “See, they’re looking down on you right now!”

Hazel glanced up instinctively, her face turning ghostly pale.

“Marissa was like a daughter to you, wasn’t she? You picked up Evan together, went shopping, showed

up arm-in-arm at the galas... playing the perfect mother-in-law behind closed doors. You sure have a

short memory, ma’am!”

I couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire, “Your Evan was the golden boy, wasn’t he? So much so that you

relentlessly undermined my Probert, almost driving him to depression. Oh, what’s that? You are

denying it because they’re dead? You think there’ll be no evidence? Think again. The police will do a

thorough DNA test, and the truth will out! When that happens, the Dawson family will be making

headlines again!”

“Aaliyah, I didn’t think you could be so venomous…”

“The word ‘venomous’ suits only the Dawson family. If you hadn’t taken the child away, how could he

have died? It was you, you killed your beloved grandchild! Evan is gone from this world, and with him,

all your hopes are dashed!”

Standing up, I looked down at Hazel with scorn, “If you’re so eager to know how Evan died, better ask

your dear son, Jerome. He knows the truth!”

Farley and Hazel were taken aback.

Turning to Hannah, I whispered, “Let’s go.”

With a snort of disdain, Hannah glanced at the bewildered couple and shook her head, “What a sin...

tsk, tsk, such a sin.” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Just as we were about to leave, Hazel lunged at us like a madwoman, “Don’t you dare walk away,

you… you need to explain yourself…”

Before Hannah could react, I stopped her and faced Hazel, “The one who’s caused a scandal is

Marissa, and your two sons.”

I spoke with contempt, “I’ve delivered the message, so you’d better start preparing a grave. I’ve already

spoken to the authorities. The Dawsons will be responsible for burying their daughter-in-law and

grandson. You’ll get the call when it’s time to collect the bodies. I’ll see this through to the end.”

Hazel’s face darkened with each word, her mouth agape but speechless.

Hannah couldn’t resist adding, “Better call your eldest son, or you might never see him again!”

At that, Hazel panicked, her eyes darting to Hannah, “What do you mean? Explain yourself!”

“Take it literally!” Hannah huffed dismissively.

“Explain. Now!” Hazel demanded, gripping Hannah’s arm.

I scoffed inwardly, thinking this was just the beginning. The unworthy don’t deserve the blessings of this

place. For now, they could stay, but soon, they wouldn’t have a tenement to call home. Read at

“Hannah, let’s go!” I called out once more.

Hannah yanked her arm away, and Hazel stumbled, watching us leave without a backward glance.
