Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 333

With Hannah by my side, I eagerly strode into the Dawson's household.

Unexpectedly, both Farley and Hazel were home. Upon my entrance with Hannah trailing behind,

Farley's face went stormy. His sly eyes boring into Hannah for a beat, then turn towards me. “What are

you doing here?" he asked, rather rudely.

I couldn't help but smirk internally. It seemed he still held on to the grudge from the time Hannah had

given him a swift kick.

Ignoring his gaze, I walked towards the plush couch and took a seat.

Although Hazel remained silent, her expression was far more guarded, looking at me with unwavering

scrutiny, as if she was on edge for whatever I may say.

I grinned, deciding I better be the one to break the ice. "So, Hazel, I haven't seen you in a while. What

have you been up to?"

Hazel looked at me, a slight annoyance in her voice, "State your business, no need for small talk."

Feigning meekness, I let out a casual remark. "I'm just wondering... Did you get any news about Evan?

Did you guys stop searching for him? There seems to be no news since the last update...”

I asked with a seemingly genuine interest, looking directly into Hazel's eyes that she had to look away.

Mentioning Evan caused her to grimace slightly, "Mind your own business, it's not your place to Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

interfere!"

"But Hazel!" Speaking with an unnerving sweetness, I retorted, "No matter what, I am a legitimate

member of the Dawson family after all. When something happens to our family, of course I should be

involved! Before, I didn't have the energy to do so but now things have taken a turn for the better... so

why shouldn't I be concerned?”

"Focus on your own health first. You can ask whatever you want, but don't stick your nose into things

that are not your business!" Hazel retorted, her eyes rolling in annoyance.

Laughing, I replied, “Hazel, isn’t that a bit much? As it turns out, I think I should be focusing on getting

back to my company. Everyone present at our office celebration voiced their preference for me to go

back. Even the mayor himself told me that he looks forward to seeing me at the helm again! I was

thinking about it and I might just do it!”

Mentioning this apparent vulnerability of hers, Hazel looked dumbfounded, her surprise visible. It was

clear she hadn't expected me to broach the subject.

"You... stop harping on about it right now! What are you going to do at the company? You should

concentrate on your home, not go about gallivanting. The Dawson family hasn't sunk so low to have

women in charge!" She argued blindly, exposing her obvious bias.

I replied to her indignantly, "Isn’t you a Dawson, too? Don't you love showing off at those social

gatherings on behalf of the Dawsons? How can you claim the company doesn’t need me, considering I

founded it? Ever since the Goldenvale Town’s business community learned of Medsafe Liyah Inc.,

everybody knows it's my creation! If you enjoy all the limelight, why can’t I?”

I continued, “I thought I'd share some of the limelight with you! After all, me, the younger face should be

attending those events! You are a bit too old for that after all!”

"How dare you…" Hazel barked, standing tall, her finger threateningly pointing at me.

At that moment, Hannah cleared her throat. Hazel immediately lowered her hand.

I added, "Don't tell me you've already been informed…” Reаd at

Judging from the way she reacted, they certainly hadn't heard the news.

A silent cheer erupted in my heart. Let me do the honors then!
