Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) -
Chapter 294
Janice shook her head. "No, when I got there, I was so focused on Janetta that I just followed the ambulance to the hospital."
At this, I saw Janetta close her eyes, looking disappointed.
Janice, frustrated, shook her head vigorously. Then, suddenly, she said, "But later, Irving did come and ask me if Janetta's stuff was all there. He even asked if she'd called me before the accident, and what she had said."
Both Janetta and I listened to Janice's words.
"I told him she hadn't called, and I hadn't seen any of her stuff!" Janice recalled, "But I never did see Janetta's bag! I asked the police handling the case later, and they said they hadn't seen any of Janetta's belongings either."
"Was Irving there when you arrived?" I asked Janice.
"We basically arrived at the same time!" Janice replied, frowning.
"That means someone else took Janetta's bag!" I voiced my thoughts, and we all felt a chill run down our spines.
Janice turned to Janetta, "Sis, are you sure you had your bag with you that day? And that the key was in it?"
Janetta nodded, "... Yes."
"What key?" Janice pressed.
Janetta closed her eyes weakly, letting out a breath, looking slightly defeated.
"Don't worry. We'll find it out!" Janice hurried to comfort her.
Janetta shook her head, her lips moving, "Evidence... conditions!"
I watched her closely. Her eyes were filled with resentment. She added, "Negotiated... conditions!"
I immediately understood her meaning, recalling the conversation I had with Catherine during the cocktail party.
"Do you mean the agreed divorce conditions and evidence of Irving's infidelity?" I quickly asked Janetta.
Janetta nodded, relieved.
Janice asked in confusion, "Allie, what's going on?"
I guessed that Gevena didn't tell her, fearing she would panic. So, I went ahead and explained to Janice how Catherine and I got Olivia to spill the beans at the party. Janice seemed to finally understand.
It dawned on us that Janetta meant to give the key to Janice for safekeeping before her accident. When the accident happened, the key was in her bag. But after the accident, Janice never saw Janetta's bag. The bag vanished!
Janice and I exchanged glances. "It seems that the bag ended up with Irving," I said, shuddering.
"I'll ask Barber to look into it again tomorrow. See if any of the officers at the scene remember seeing the bag!" Janice said, her voice filled with anger.
I comforted her, "Don't worry. Now that Janetta is awake, there is no need to rush things. What I mean is, once Janetta recovers a bit more, she can explain everything herself."
I turned to Janetta and said, "Don't worry. the bag won't disappear! If you were able to find it back then, others can find it too!"
Then I said to Janice, "Janice, Logan should have an easier time looking into this than Mr. Forrest. Plus, didn't Logan promise to help you out? He's a man of his word. There is no use rushing now. You both need to focus on getting better!"
Janice nodded and comforted Janetta, "Sis, Allie is right. Focus on getting better. We'll get our stuff back. Irving will get what he deserves!"
Janetta nodded, a tear trickling down her cheek.
We talked for a while longer before someone came in saying they were looking for me.
I glanced at Hannah, who had been by my side the whole time. She turned to leave.
Janice and I exchanged glances. "Could it be Jaylan? We can't let him in!"
I nodded and said, "Don't worry. I'm leaving now."
With that, I gestured to Janetta and said, "I'm going now, I'll come see you again soon!"
As I got up to leave, Hannah returned. "It's Jaylan!"
