Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 59

Hearing Clara's words, it was clear as day to me that she was provoking Zora. Since they had already

decided to butt heads, I was naturally going to back Clara up - this girl was a real warrior.

"Alright! It's settled then. I'll rely on you to pick up and drop off Carl every day. Just give me a heads up

in case of any special circumstances!" I said, looking at Jaylan with satisfaction. "This way, Zora won't

need to go out of her way. I see that Carl seems quite attached to Clara, and honestly, I wouldn't trust This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

anyone else with this. Thank God Clara's here!"

Jaylan looked at me with an indulgent smile, "Your wish is my command! I'm all in!"

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Zora turning angry, her spoon clenched so tightly in her hand.

"Zora, you've been working hard lately. Take some time off!" I said nonchalantly.

After dinner, Clara and Carl happily followed Jaylan to the car and drove away.

Watching the car drive off, a smile played on my lips. I wanted Zora to see exactly how her sister was

replacing her.

Since they'd all offered themselves up on a silver platter, I wasn't going to let a single one of them off

the hook.

I turned back into the living room, where Zora emerged, pretending to tidy up the coffee table, but

struggling to say something.

I pretended not to notice her anxiety, busying myself with my phone instead.

In my mind, I was planning my next move. The war at home had already started, and it was high time

for the Dawson family to get their hands dirty.

As for Marissa?

No rush. Let her bask in her vanity a little longer. I needed to build her up before she could truly

understand what it meant to fall.

But first, I needed to find out when she hooked up with Jaylan. I intended to dig up all the dirt and make

a big show of it.

It seemed that Zora had finally reached her breaking point. She clenched her jaw and walked up to me,

saying, "Madam, there's no need to go out of your way for my sister."

I feigned surprise and probed, "What do you mean? You're not happy about me helping her?"

"I know my sister better than anyone. She... she's actually quite manipulative, always rebellious. She's

not what you think she is," Zora said, her words carefully chosen.

"Oh?" I said, feigning interest and sitting up on the couch. "And what is she really like? Do tell."

Zora struggled with her expression as I watched her attentively, waiting for her to answer.

"In any case... don't spoil her too much. She'll take advantage of it. I'll do my best to make her leave

soon. I'll find her a place to stay in the next few days."

"Alright, then," I nodded. "I'm only helping her because she's your sister. But if you say so, you handle

it. But just a reminder, if she's out from under your watchful eye, won't she become even more

manipulative?"

I dropped the hint deliberately.

Sure enough, Zora's expression turned frustrated. She was at the end of her rope. "We can't just let her

create chaos here!"

"Really? She seems like a good girl to me!" I laughed.

Zora huffed, then looked at me. "Then I... might have to go out for a while. For lunch..."

I quickly waved her off, "Go ahead, take care of your business. I can manage lunch on my own."

"Don't worry, I won't delay dinner!" Zora said with determination. It seemed that Clara had really pushed

her buttons.

But I thought, looking for a place to live? Unlikely.

Right now, Zora was like a turtle stuck in a pot, stuck between a rock and a hard place, with trouble

brewing both at home and outside.

When she saw that message on her phone during dinner last night, she was already on edge.

Of course, I knew why. It was the preventative measure I took, having Catherine send her a picture of

Jaylan and Marissa looking intimate from an unknown number.

She certainly didn't expect that before she could even react, there was already trouble brewing at

home. Caught between a rock and a hard place, she might not be able to keep up with her clever

tactics.

That was exactly the effect I was aiming for. There needed to be some chaos to create an entertaining

show.

If Zora could actually handle Marissa, I'd have to take a second look at her.

I was suddenly curious about what Zora was going to do next.

So, after she left the house, I got in my car and followed her at a distance.
