Crises in Love novel Chapter 278

I found it amusing thinking about Zora's argument with Clara. She had claimed this house as her own. I was here today to see whose home it was.

Arriving there, I asked Hannah to knock on the door while I stood in a spot where the peephole couldn't reach.

Zora's expression was priceless when she opened the door and saw me. She was utterly flabbergasted, blurting out, "How could it be you?"

I smiled, lifting my foot to step in, but she immediately blocked my way. She said in an unpleasant tone, "You're not welcome here."

I nearly laughed out loud, suppressing my amusement as I looked at her, "Living in my house and daring to say I'm not welcome? Who gave you such courage?"

Just as Zora was about to retort, Hannah abruptly pulled her aside, clearing a path for me to enter. I walked in without hesitation.

The house itself was genuinely impressive, spacious, well-lit, and tastefully decorated.

I sighed inwardly. What a waste.

I made my way to the living room and took the prime seat on the couch. Zora, seeing me casually stroll in, dashed in after me, her face filled with unease and annoyance, "Aaliyah, I'm no longer your housekeeper. What are you doing here?"

I sat comfortably, smiling, "So, you realize you're no longer my housekeeper, yet you still live in my house. Don't you think that's a bit much? Don't you know why I'm here?"

"Aaliyah, you've gone too far. This house is mine, fair and square. Jaylan promised it to me, and he said this house was meant for me." She crossed her arms, speaking with conviction.

"On what grounds?" I leaned back on the couch, my tone calm.

She was about to speak but abruptly stopped herself.

"On what grounds? Because you seduced Jaylan while you were the housekeeper? Because you drugged me? Because you spread malicious rumors to my children about me, saying that my corpse would eat them? Or because you pierced my head?" I grilled her relentlessly, yet my demeanor remained light.

As I listed her misdeeds one by one, her face grew paler but she still held her defiant stance.

"What are you implying? We don't have any relationship now. The past is in the past. Stop digging up old skeletons. If you're here just to throw accusations, there's no need to come to my house and strut around."
