Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 274

On my way to see Clara, a question haunted me. Clara's claim of trust seemed contradictory.

The moment I saw Clara, she had transformed back into that meek and docile girl, completely

defenseless, totally unlike the day she came to inform me that Zora had taken Evan.

I knew too well that whenever she switched to be like this, she either needed a favor, or she was up to

some new trick.

Walking in without a word, I took a seat across from her, glancing at her, "So, what do you want to talk

about?"

She blinked, then lowered her gaze, a conflicted expression on her face, "Ms. Aaliyah, that child is

lost."

My head throbbed at her words, and I stared at her sharply, "What do you mean?"

Her eyes, suddenly full of tears, met mine, "Ms. Aaliyah, I don't know how to tell you, I lost that child."

"Speak clearly," I growled, my heart was on fire.

Clara shrunk back, tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful, as if I was the one who had wronged

her.

"I lost Evan," Clara stated clearly.

I was in disbelief, "Evan was with you? Didn't you say Zora had taken him?"

"He was indeed taken by Zora, but later I took him away." she stammered.

I was speechless, murmuring, "I underestimated you. So tell me, how did you lose him?"

"After seeing you that day, I eavesdropped on Zora and Jaylan's conversation again, found out where

Evan was hidden, and took the opportunity to steal him away. And I did a DNA test on him and Jaylan,"

Clara's voice trembled, and it was hard for me to believe she could be so nervous.

I was scrutinizing her, trying to determine if she was putting on an act.

I was speechless. All of these devils were good actors. I had to stay focused, otherwise, I would be

manipulated.

"You did a DNA test on Jaylan and Evan?" I immediately found the answer I was looking for.

So, the anonymous DNA was Jaylan's and Evan's? That meant Evan was not Jaylan's child, but

Jerome's.

I didn't know whether to feel schadenfreude or sadness. Jaylan was truly a farce.

But I couldn't laugh.

I asked deliberately, "And the result?"

Clara looked at me cautiously, fear in her eyes, "Evan is not Jaylan's."

I stared at her, and she misunderstood my gaze, "I'm not lying, and he really isn't Jaylan's, but..."

"What is it?"

"I forged a report, confirming Evan was Jaylan's." Clara looked at me, quickly adding, "I did this to

protect Evan from Zora and Jaylan."

Her words made me see her in a new light. She was actually concerned about Evan. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"So why did you say Evan is lost? What happened?" I pressed, staring at her.

"Ms. Aaliyah, I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I..." Clara seemed flustered, genuinely so, not just

acting.

"Calm down and tell me." I softened my tone, trying not to intimidate her.

"This fake DNA might have caused trouble." Clara started.

"Why do you say that?" I asked, feeling an inexplicable tension. My concern was for Evan.

"Because I found out that Zora also secretly did a DNA test on Evan and Jaylan. But I intercepted her

report before she could get the results. Then I replaced it with the fake one I had made, confirming

Jaylan and Evan as father and son. But I didn't expect Zora to be furious when she saw the results.

She even exploded with rage, cursing Jaylan for his disloyalty. She called Maddox, asking him to get

rid of Evan." Clara's eyes were filled with panic.

I clenched my hands nervously. I believed that Zora was capable of such a thing.

But it was ironic. What right did she have to accuse Jaylan of disloyalty? As Zora was the one who

plotted with Jaylan against me, his lawful wife, it was laughable that she was only just realizing his lack

of loyalty.

How utterly ridiculous.
