Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 438

Janice looked at me with a mixture of skepticism and disbelief painted across her face. "I seriously

can't wrap my head around his thoughts. How stupid is he? He's got this gorgeous, loaded wife and

he's not satisfied. That greedy low-life!”

I was momentarily stunned, at a loss for words, and muttered under my breath, "Evil deeds will catch

up to you, no doubt about it."

"Don't worry," Gevena said, looking at me with a mix of glee and concern. "The way things are going,

Medsafe Liyah Inc. won't last a week, I bet. I heard the Dawson’s siblings fought there!"

Perking up, I pressed for details, "What happened?"

Gevena raised an eyebrow, a sly smile on her lips. "Do you remember that little arrangement you

asked me to make?"

I paused, racking my brain, and then it hit me. I slapped my thigh and blurted out, "You're not talking

about Jessica Dawson's mess, are you? Did she finally get caught red-handed?"

Her eyes twinkling with mischief, Gevena clapped me on the shoulder, "Bingo! That little scheme of

yours finally fermented into a fine mess!"

"Jessica? No way! That's incredible timing! You're a genius!" I was elated. "I've been so swamped, I

totally forgot about setting her straight."

"Save your energy," Gevena said with a smirk. "We'll handle her. It's a piece of cake for us."

"But you should've seen it! Jaylan smacked Jesper first, and then Jesper and Jaylan double-teamed

Jessica, dragging her back to the office after hours for a beatdown!"

Janice and Catherine, seeing our animated state, were immediately hooked and demanded the juicy

details, "What in the world happened? Don't leave us hanging, spill it!"

At the prospect of gossip, excitement was in their eyes, nearly glowing red with anticipation. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Gevena turned to me, her voice filled with mischief, "Just so you know, I've managed to reel back in a

few million for you. You owe me a big thank you."

"Seriously?" I grinned ear to ear. "You know I'm good for it! Drinks are on me!"

"Come on, spill the beans already! I'm dying here!" Catherine propped herself up in her hospital bed,

visibly agitated with curiosity.

Gevena eagerly began, "A month ago, Aaliyah had me set a trap for Jessica, offering her a chance to

make some quick cash. Naturally, I was all in. So, I set her up and, like a cheetah to the chase, she fell

for it."

Gevena glanced at me knowingly, "She was just too thirsty for the bait."

"What kind of scheme?" Catherine pressed on, eager for details.

"Loan sharks, baby!" Gevena declared with flourish. "Where else can you make money that fast?"

"Get real! That's a quick way to end up dead," Janice retorted skeptically.

"Maybe you're too sharp for such tricks, but not everyone's got your smarts," Gevena countered, "and

for Jessica, it was too good to resist."

"It's the perfect cure for greed," I said with a mischievous grin.

"At first, she was cautious, looking over her shoulder," Gevena continued. "So, I had Sophie show her

the ropes. Sophie made ten million quickly, and just like that, she made a quick return."

Gevena gestured animatedly as she spoke, clearly enjoying the retelling.

"I made sure she wasn't disappointed, and I even upped the interest rate," Gevena said with

satisfaction.

"Didn't she suspect anything with those rates?" Janice asked, "It's like picking up money off the street!"

It was only then that I realized why Jessica had such a grudge against me.

Gevena picked up the story again, "You're right. When she started making big sums, she couldn't sit

still. She cozied up to Sophie over dinner. And guess what Sophie told her?"
