Chapter 483
Waiting, it gnawed at me, ratcheting up my anxiety with each passing moment. Only Ronan's promise
that he'd bring my child back within a week stood as my pillar of sanity amidst the chaos.
I'd tell myself during bouts of restlessness that Ronan wouldn't break his promise, that he wouldn't let
me down. Yet, each minute dragged on like an eternity, and I dared not call anyone for updates, fearing
the worst - that there was no news yet.
Then, on the morning of the fourth day, Logan buzzed with news that Clara had been spotted back in
her hometown, though Zora was still missing.
A surge of excitement shot through me, and I hastily told Logan, "Keep an eye on Clara; she won't let
Zora slip away easily. Believe me, the showdown between those sisters is bound to happen. It won't
just fizzle out!"
As we were speculating about Clara waiting for Zora's arrival back home, Ronan's call came through.
He ordered Logan to tap into Jerome's upcoming calls, suspecting that he sent Clara on the hunt for Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Zora.
I slapped my thigh in excitement, exclaiming, "That's exactly what I was thinking. It all adds up. Why
else would Clara be with Jerome?"
Hannah caught on to my train of thought instantly.
Ronan's command was like a lightning bolt of clarity, unlocking a floodgate of connections I had
struggled to make sense of before.
I turned to Hannah, piecing it together for her, "After she left that house Jaylan had for Zora, she
must've parted ways with Zora. Joining Jerome must have been her choice because she needs a place
where she can completely overpower Jaylan and Zora.
She doesn't care if the guy's a fugitive or an outlaw. Think about it; she knew she was infected, so
she's acting out of desperation, like a cornered animal."
"That makes total sense! And it's clear she has some sort of beef with you!" Hannah said candidly.
"The grudge she has against me is because of the infection! She resents me for standing by coldly
while Jaylan infected her. But man, she was in Jaylan's bed quicker than I could warn her. Before I
could even understand her real motives for coming to my place looking for her sister, her deed was
done! Talk about being reckless!" I spread my hands in resignation.
Hannah snickered, "Those sisters are a piece of work. She didn't consider your feelings when she slept
with your husband! So why blame you for being indifferent when she got sick?"
"That's just it! And there's the DNA report too; it now explains why Clara's original report vanished
without a trace, only for Jerome to end up with a fake. It wasn't Zora challenging Jerome; it was Clara
the whole time!"
Logan chuckled sarcastically, "Those two are quite the pair, aren't they? Each move is a matter of life
and death!"
Hannah picked up where I left off, "And then, after we cleared things up with Jerome at the funeral
home, we tried to find Zora, only to realize we were a step behind. That's why Clara was sent to track
Zora!"
I nodded approvingly at Hannah.
Logan said, "We thought of her hometown right from the start, but her family insisted she wouldn't
return!"
"That's the only explanation then!" Hannah agreed, nodding. Draмanоvеls.com
Turns out, my hunch was spot on.
This news was exhilarating, but something still didn't sit right with me.
