Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 149

"Out of the blue, you reached out to me and I had to honor my promise, so I immediately told him about

that." she started to joke again, "You can't blame me for this. If I can't get support from him, I won't be

able to help you. And you have no idea, that maid of yours is stubborn."

"And then he sent Logan." I inquired.

Catherine immediately gave me a thumbs up, "Smart! How else would I know Logan?"

"You said Logan was a top-notch private investigator, DragonLord, so, you've been lying to me all the

time?" I glared at Catherine, fuming, "Catherine, how many truths have you told me?"

"All of it's true." Catherine raised her hand as if to swear an oath, "But I only knew the top dog in this

industry was nicknamed DragonLord. He was rumored to be something extraordinary, but how would I

know Logan was DragonLord? I was desperate to see you, fearing you were in danger, so I called

Ronan in a panic, and he sent Logan. I didn't trust him, but he assured me, saying Logan was his

cousin."

Catherine spoke with such enthusiasm, her expressions were incredibly animated.

"I didn't expect my boss to know Logan. The first time he came to visit me, my boss saw him, and later

asked me how I could know DragonLord. That's when I found out Logan is DragonLord, and he's even

Ronan's cousin." Catherine spoke as if she was saying a tongue twister.

"You guys act so familiar like you've known each other for ages." I commented sarcastically, copying

Logan's tone, "Not even trying hard, Catherine here is going to get him killed. Ridiculous!"

Seeing me speak like this, Catherine immediately brightened up, "You've seen it. Logan is such a

chatterbox. He can get acquainted with strangers very quickly. Besides, Ronan cares so much about

your safety, and he repeatedly reminds us not to put you in too much danger. Treating you as if you

were some precious gem."

"Cut the crap, and don't change the subject. Do you know he works for the government?"

"I know." Catherine answered so quickly that it made me extremely angry. It seems I was the only one

who didn't know anything.

"What does he do exactly?" I immediately followed up, and my eyes locked on Catherine.

Catherine knew she shouldn't say that, and she looked at me, clearly thinking about how to answer.

I slapped the armrest of the sofa, "Enough with the mind games. Tell the truth. Do you need to think

about this?"

Catherine jolted, blurting out, "He is a national security officer, I guess."

My brain buzzed. No wonder he could find Jerome. No wonder Logan said the top security department

had noticed Jerome. No wonder they could find anyone they wanted in no time. No wonder they had

such elite personnel. No wonder they could find Addrion and rescue him.

I didn't want to think anymore because it was all clear now. I sank deep into the sofa, speechless. My

feelings were complicated, and I didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

No wonder Catherine and Logan avoided talking about it before, acting mysteriously. It all made sense

now.

"Is Elbert one of them too?" I suddenly thought of Elbert and asked. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"At least, Elbert is truly the famous Iawyer of Goldenvale Town, I guess." Catherine shrugged and

glanced at me, then continued, "It's not bad, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to hire Elbert."

I propped my head up weakly, sighing, "Why do I feel like I've jumped out of the frying pan and into the

fire?"

"Give it a rest. Who else but you could have such an oddball of a husband, and it's like winning the

lottery."

"Are you complimenting me?" I asked as I looked at her.

Catherine burst into laughter, completely carefree, "I'm just saying, you're lucky to have Ronan looking

out for you. With your situation, without Ronan, Allie, it'd be difficult for you to turn things around."

Catherine spoke the truth, "So, could you stop thinking too much? Focus on the present. First, resolve

your current crisis, then think about the next step."

"What next step?" I looked at Catherine, "By the way, you said he works for the government, and how

does he have so much money?"

This was what worried me the most.
