Chapter 459
"Jaylan, how dare you come at me with accusations? What's this 'time like this' that you're talking
about? When have you ever picked a good time to come after me? And besides, didn't I already notify
you that I want a divorce?"
"Aaliyah, I never imagined you could be so venomous. What on earth did you say to my mom?" Jaylan
cut to the chase, not bothering with beating around the bush.
I was taken aback, not expecting him to hit me with that question. My heart skipped a beat, but I coolly
retorted, "What could I possibly have said? What are you afraid I might have said?"
"But... my mom's dead," Jaylan bellowed from across the room, his voice laden with a mix of rage and
sorrow.
"Your mom's dead?" I exclaimed, suddenly feeling a surge of confidence, "When did this happen?
And... how is your mom's death related to me? I visited her yesterday during lunch, and she was
perfectly fine. Everything was alright when I departed, and you were there as well. Now you're telling
me she's dead? Jaylan, what kind of sick joke is this? Have you lost your mind?"
"I'm not joking, she died last night!" Jaylan defended himself, his tone dark and ominous, "You better
hope I don't find out what you said to her."
"Why don't you just go ask your mom?" I taunted. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Wasn't I a troublemaker? Well, I'd play the part!
With no witnesses to prove anything, the few words I said to Hazel were now an eternal mystery,
unsolvable even by death! I'd take it to my grave! Let's see what they could do about it!
This was beyond my expectations. So, there's nothing you can do but ask your mom on the other side!
I couldn't resist gloating.
"She was fine when I saw her at noon, dead by evening, and you're questioning me? Tell me, how did
she die?" I pressed him.
I wanted him to spill the details of his mom's death, but I doubted he would dare.
Suddenly, Hannah exclaimed, "Miss, the internet is saying Hazel was knocked off her bed by the nanny
and died on the spot! It was an accident!"
I struggled to keep a straight face; Hannah was a true ally.
"Jaylan, is that really how your mom died?" I asked, feigning innocence.
The other side was silent as a grave.
"So why aren't you confronting the nanny who accidentally killed her instead of accusing me?" I said,
relentless in my pursuit, "The nanny was your woman, your most trusted person. I had no clue how
your mom got hurt, and you're asking me how she died? Give me a break! What kind of logic is that?
Oh... right! If she hadn't told me about your mom being in the hospital, how would I have known? She
even had the gall to call me heartless. Isn't that heartlessness your doing? Now you're trying to flip the
script on me, Jaylan, you're really something!
It seems in your heart, the nanny is above all, even when she's responsible for your mom's death, you
don't seek justice. Instead, you blame me! You must be grieving too hard! These are questions you
should be asking your beloved Zora!"
"Aaliyah, I can't believe how unreasonable you are!" Jaylan was practically shaking with anger.
I didn't care whether he was angry or not, I continued my tirade, "Ha! Zora now owes the Dawson
family two lives, and you're still protecting her. Is there something shady going on? Jaylan, I
underestimated you! If you want to point fingers, make sure you can back it up! If you don't know the
number for reporting a crime, I've got it!"
With that, I hung up on him! Then I gave Hannah a thumbs up, "Nice one!"
"Allie, Jaylan is backed into a corner now!" Hannah chuckled, "But, Zora's gone into hiding, and Jaylan
is searching for her!"
"Understood!"
Just then, Addrion called. I knew it had to be news from the battlefield!
I quickly answered, and sure enough, Addrion sounded ecstatic, "Allie, Vinson has made his move.
He's rallied the shareholders and they've cornered Jaylan in Irving's office."

"Why in Irving's office?" I was surprised.
"What is it?" I could sense Addrion hesitating and immediately pressed for more information.
