Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 388

Bennett's gaze held the weight of ironclad certainty as he spoke without a hint of doubt, "You'd better

double-check the records to see if the facts we've uncovered are accurate. Have we wrongly accused

you? If so, speak now or forever hold your peace! If not, then I suggest you leave immediately. Just so

you know, the police have every one of you on file, and it won't be long before they come knocking.

Today, you were spared from being taken in by the police thanks to Mr. Wilburn's mercy. You’d best

count your blessings."

With that, he fixed his stare on the few profit-seekers, his gaze sweeping over them as they turned

various shades of pale.

The rest of the shareholders watched, those with clear consciences stood unfazed, while the guilty

exchanged helpless, frantic looks.

Finally, an older man, covering his face, stood up. Under everyone's attention, he made a swift exit

from the conference room, followed by the others, scrambling out in utter disarray.

Suddenly, the room erupted in spontaneous, thunderous applause. Seizing the moment, Bennett

proudly introduced the major shareholder to those who remained – and just like that, I became the

legitimate owner of VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals.

After the meeting ended, my father and I had a long talk in his office, talking about reflections,

gratitude, and our blueprints. I have to say, it was the first time I truly understood my father.

As I stepped out of VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals, for some reason, the person I most wanted to see was

Addrion - my senior who had striven alongside me in Goldenvale Town.

Getting into the car, I said to Hannah, "Let's head to the hospital. I want to see how Addrion is doing."

When we arrived at Addrion's hospital room, he was taken aback by my visit at such an hour but

quickly greeted me with a smile, "What brings you here at this time?"

As I walked in, I quipped back, "What, is there a schedule for visiting you now?"

"Of course not, my lady! You're welcome anytime," he hurriedly offered me a seat, studying my face.

"You seem down, what's up?"

"On the contrary, today was delightful in every way!" I flopped down onto the sofa, feigning

nonchalance, "So I thought I'd come see you."

"Spill it! Drop the act!" He didn't buy my bluff for a second, sitting across from me, lazily coaxing me to

open up.

Truth be told, he understood me because we were so familiar with each other.

"Addrion, get well soon, okay? You need to come back to Goldenvale Town with me," I dodged the

question, "And you'll have to take care of Medsafe Liyah Inc."

"What about you?" he asked, perplexed.

"I’ve got too much on my plate!" I responded, feeling a sudden, inexplicable sense of loneliness.

"Medsafe Liyah Inc. should have been yours too! It was you who helped me build it, who helped me

become the strong and outstanding daughter in my parents' eyes. All of it is inseparable from your

support."

"What’s gotten into you today?Why are you so sentimental all of a sudden?" He reached to get an

orange, offering it to me like he was soothing a little girl, "Here, eat this, and you'll feel better."

I chuckled, accepting it. "You remember I like oranges?"

"Of course!" Addrion smiled contentedly. "Back then, you had me and Ronan running around buying

these for you!"

I laughed, taking the orange from his hand, "Who had you running? You guys were the ones always

offering to buy them."

"And dare we forget? Coming back empty-handed to hear, 'You didn't get me oranges'? We wouldn’t

risk it," Addrion shook his head with a helpless smile.

"Maybe it's just because you haven't been working for a while," he suggested, looking at me.

"No," I shook my head. "it's an indescribable premonition."

"You're overthinking it. After all... ten years of life are about to change, you're starting anew. It's natural Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

to feel lost!" Addrion always knew me well. "When are you heading back to Goldenvale Town?"
