Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)
Chapter 243

After his declaration, Mayor Arlen, accompanied by a group of followers, briskly stepped inside, heading straight for the podium. There was no need for a host; his style was decisive and swift. Renata stood there awkwardly, glancing at Jaylan.

But Jaylan had no time for her emotions. He took my hand and followed in the Mayor's footsteps to the front of the stage.

The celebration party tonight was swarmed with media from all walks of life. After all, this wasn't just a celebration for Medsafe Liyah Inc. but also a thank-you reception for the city's recent investment project. Naturally, all the major radio and television stations were present.

Mayor Arlen ascended the stage and got straight to the point, reporting on the results of the investment conference to the media and public below. His speech was brief and concise, presenting only successful data, without a shred of superfluous talk.

You had to give it to him; Mayor Arlen was a man of action.

Then, he invited the representative of the foreign guests to share their impressions of Goldenvale Town and their investment plans and objectives for cooperation.

This representative was none other than the Regional CEO of the Wilson Group, who had just signed a cooperation contract with Medsafe Liyah Inc.

He was a hulking, suave and competent man, his speech making everyone's eyes gleam. He mentioned his strong belief in Goldenvale Town's investment environment and his desire to build a medical transit station here for all of country, and even the world, providing timely treatment for patients worldwide.

So, his primary purpose for coming to Goldenvale Town, was to invest in healthcare. He stated that this was the Wilson Group's direction for development in the coming years.

His speech inspired many, not just those in the medical industry, but also those in related sectors, revealing potential business opportunities.

Attracting a famous consortium like the Wilson Group was undoubtedly a pioneering move for Goldenvale Town, naturally leading to a chain reaction.

I couldn't help but be shocked. No wonder Ronan was here; his public identity was that of a major boss, and he wouldn't miss an opportunity like this.

I couldn't help but glance at him. He was attentively listening to the speech of the Regional CEO of the Wilson Group. Noticing my gaze, he turned to look at me. Our eyes met, and I felt a sense of mystery about him. He was so unpredictable!

Honestly, what made him a stranger to me wasn't just his face, but the experiences he'd had during our years apart. His disappearance over those years was extremely intriguing to me.

He subtly raised an eyebrow at me, prompting me to quickly avert my eyes. After all, in this setting, I was supposed to not know him.

Jaylan, sitting next to me, was also intently listening to the speech, although his focus was different from mine. He leaned in closer and whispered in my ear, "Dear, did you hear that? We're on board this ship now. We're set for life. Admit it, your husband has an eye for opportunities!"

His words were so outrageous that I wanted to slap him. Couldn't he show some decency? His 'eye for opportunities'? How shameless could he be?

I glanced at him, smiled faintly, and said, "Then make sure to seize this opportunity. It's easy to get on a big ship, but surviving the storms is the real challenge."

He wrapped his arm around my waist, confidently saying, "Don't worry! I won't miss any opportunity!"

I didn't catch what he meant by 'any opportunity'. But the hand he placed on my waist made me stiffen instinctively. I was at a point where I found his touch extremely repulsive. Every time he touched me, those nauseating images would resurface, making me incredibly uncomfortable.

Not to mention, he was infected with a loathsome disease, making me avoid him at all costs. Meanwhile, I noticed another gaze fixed on me. Instinctively, I scanned the crowd around me...
