Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)
Chapter 159

I turned my gaze towards Jaylan and shifted the focus to him, aiming to widen the rift between these two.

"Jaylan, did I do anything wrong?" I looked assertively at Jaylan, who looked ghastly pale.

"Who was I doing this for? You were the one begging me on your knees just now. I stood here, swallowing my pride, speaking words against my heart for the sake of our company, and for our children! Tell me, where did I go wrong?" I pointed an accusatory finger at Jaylan.

Jerome glared at me venomously. "Don't you dare play your little tricks with me! You'll be sorry!"

I snorted, "Tricks? As far as I see it, you two are the ones playing tricks. You both know damn well who's been fooling around with Marissa! So, Jerome, you're saying that you don't mind the world knowing that you and your dear brother are jointly supporting a little bitch?"

"You are the laughing stock of the town, aren't you? Are the brothers of Medsafe Liyah Inc. so hard up that they need to pool resources to keep a mistress? I even feel ashamed for you guys. If you're short of money, I can pitch in, but just don't keep her!"

"Aaliyah, one more word! I'll tear your damn mouth!" Jerome advanced towards me, but Jaylan stepped in to block him.

"What? Since the media is still out there, you want me to announce it to them again? Surely, the lead man is not just you, but also your dear brother!" I shot a provocative look at Jerome. "You're not even afraid of catching AIDS!"

"Bloody hell! You bitch! I swear I'll kill you!" Jerome cursed violently, my words stinging him.

I chuckled. "Jaylan, didn't you hear him? He's sleeping with your mistress and threatening to kill your wife. Are you some sort of coward? Shit! My family spends money only to nurture a bunch of ungrateful wretches. As soon as you're sated, you don't hesitate to turn around and bite the hand that fed them!"

I laughed at the sight of the Dawson brothers, their faces red with fury.

"Funny. Let me tell you this. I couldn't care less about the fate of Medsafe Liyah Inc. Without it, I'm still rich. I want to see how you Dawson brothers would strut around then." As I finished, I stopped laughing and looked at them disdainfully. "Don't you ever forget that before I married into the Dawson family, you were all living hand to mouth and sleeping in the same room like a pack of rats."

Jesper, who had been silent, finally spoke, "Enough, Aaliyah, you're crossing the line!"

I shot him a look. "Am I? Jesper, don't forget how you've finished your education. Now you say I'm crossing the line? Oh, you think you are a badass now? Feeling high and mighty?"

My words left Jesper speechless. Even Jessica, standing by my side, glared at me in rage.

I waved dismissively, "Let Medsafe Liyah Inc. crash then! All of you will be screwed. I'd love to see where you will get your fucking money to keep a whore! I'd love to see how you are going to draw the public's attention with a god-digger bitch who seduces men for money!"

As soon as I finished, Jerome raised his hand, aiming a slap at me.

I was scared and closed my eyes, bracing for the hit, but it never came. I opened my eyes, seeing a tall, gentlemanly man holding Jerome's wrist, looking at him calmly. "Mr. Dawson, think twice!"

I guessed this must be Caleb.

Jaylan finally erupted, "Enough, Jerome! I'm still here, and you dare to lay a finger on her? Don't you think you've gone too far?"

Jerome shook off Caleb's hand, pointing at me. "Aaliyah, just wait and see. One day, I'll shut you up."

I gave him a disdainful look. "Well, you'll have to wait until I'm dead!"

With that, I made no effort to prolong the confrontation, walking out and slamming the door behind me.
