Crises in Love novel Chapter 581

"Meet me, and I'll tell you about the lost kid," Jaylan's voice was firm and resolute.

"Jaylan, you better stand by what you just said." I gritted my teeth, enunciating each word with force, "Or you know what the consequences will be."

"I've genuinely got a lead. Face-to-face's the way to go." He swore earnestly, "I promise, you won't be disappointed."

"Where are you?" I asked, unable to contain my impatience, "Come to the Dawson family. I'm waiting at home for you. But I have one condition you come alone, or the deal's off."

With that, he hung up.

"Hello?" I called out in desperation, stomping my foot in frustration.

Hannah noticed I hadn't come out for a while and came back to find me. Seeing my troubled expression, she pressed, "Whose call was that?"

"Jaylan." I quickly responded to Hannah, then grabbed her arm, "Come on, we're heading to the Dawson family."

"To the Dawson family?" Hannah asked, puzzled, "Why?"

As we hurriedly walked to the parking lot, I repeated Jaylan's words to her, "Jaylan just called, saying he knows something about my lost kid, insisting I meet him to get the lead."

Hannah abruptly stopped in her tracks, and I looked at her seriously, "Allie, do you believe him?"

"Not at all, but I can't miss any chance." I continued walking, heedless of her concerns.

Hannah quickly followed, "Allie, keep your cool. Jaylan is probably just full of hot air. Think about it, we've grilled him so many times, and he's clammed up every time. Now he claims he's got a lead, and it smells like a trap."

I stopped and faced Hannah, visibly agitated, "I know it's probably a trap, but I need to put my mind at ease. I won't ignore any information about my lost child, even if it turns out to be false."

With that, I turned and walked on, but then spun back to Hannah, "Hannah, deep down, I feel Jaylan knows something. Even if he's using this as leverage, as long as it brings my child back to me, I'd give up my fortune without a shred of regret."

Hannah was about to speak when I raised my hand to stop her, "Don't try to convince me otherwise." With those final words, I walked away.
