Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 202

After hearing the conversation between Jaylan and Zora, I was frankly speechless. It seemed Zora was

truly devoted to Jaylan.

I turned to Clara, my face full of confusion. "How did they do it? Wasn't the kid supposed to be in

summer camp? The police checked the surveillance and found nothing unusual. How did she manage

to take him away?"

Clara gave a wickedly enchanting smile, her eyes concealing a chilling mystery.

A cold dread filled me, and a thought emerged unbidden. Clara was not to be pitied; her heart was filled

with darkness, ready to pounce and tear into me.

Clara smiled faintly. "The only way to catch someone off guard is through love, right?"

"Jaylan?" I asked incredulously, "You mean Jaylan played cover?"

"Don't you believe me?" Clara asked, her smile unwavering, "Once he made up his mind, does the

method really matter?"

I couldn't help but shake my head, my thoughts inevitably turning to my own children.

Jaylan was their father! A chill ran down my spine.

With a hint of schadenfreude, Clara continued, "Don't forget, Jaylan is Evan's father. He certainly has

ways to take him away!"

"But I thought Zora was the one who took action?"

"Yes, it was indeed Zora! Jaylan didn't show up!" Clara confirmed with a nod.

"Perhaps you're unaware, but after the Neal incident, Jaylan lashed out at Marissa, and Zora made

things worse. You can imagine Marissa’s predicament. Jerome, at this point, was avoiding the situation

and definitely wouldn't intervene," Clara explained.

I didn't interrupt, listening attentively.

"And with the 'mistress incident' causing a rift with Jerome, and having ignored Marissa and her child

for several days, she naturally harbored resentment towards Jaylan. When it was time to take the child

away, Jaylan promised Evan a lunch out, but on the condition that he didn’t tell Marissa.

Jaylan instructed Evan to sneak out first, promising to call his teacher after he left, fearing the teacher

would not allow it. Jaylan told Evan that he would take him back after the meal!"

I shook my head with a bitter smile. This beast even used his own child.

"Of course, Evan was thrilled. He managed to sneak out during lunchtime when the teachers were

busy distributing meals. Some kids were washing their hands, some were in the restroom, and others

were running around the hallway... And that's when Evan slipped away from summer camp. Zora's car

was parked behind the gazebo in the greenbelt. As soon as Evan left the building, he crouched down From NôvelDrama.Org.

and got into the car. The security cameras couldn't cover him, and Zora easily took him away. Evan

willingly went with her! Everyone had overcomplicated a simple matter."

"It seems the police were misled!" I sighed, feeling absurd.

No wonder they hadn't found any clues. They were still puzzled about how such a child was taken

away, not realizing he could just walk out, like playing hide and seek.

All he had to do was avoid the security cameras at the entrance! However, it must be said that he had a

reckless father!

"Where is the child now?" I asked Clara anxiously.

For some reason, I had a bad feeling. If initially Jaylan just wanted to divert everyone's attention for

fear of backlash and me turning against him and forcing a DNA test to disrupt his plans, he probably

didn't anticipate that things have spiraled out of his control now.

If he was the one who took the child, he could argue he was teaching Marissa a lesson, or he wanted a

secret meeting with his son, without external interference, without more media attention. That would

have been understandable!

Worst case scenario, it would have been a touching father-son moment, something I couldn't criticize.

But Jaylan's mistake was involving Zora. Then again, another reason came to mind...
