Crises in Love novel Chapter 61

"Do you ever get scared? Did you fear when you were playing dirty?" The man named Maddox sounded genuinely angry, "Damn! Have you forgotten if I hadn't reminded you? You've been living the high life, while I've been ducking and diving. Did you ever care about me?"

My heart pounded rapidly. Clearly, Zora was not as simple as she seemed. The 'dirty play' the man mentioned surely had substance. But why wasn't it mentioned in the information Logan had gathered?

When Catherine had first given me information about Zora, she only mentioned Zora's past of seducing her past employers. But the 'dirty play' this man was talking about definitely involved more. The amount of information was overwhelming, and somewhat frightening.

"Maddox, you'd better keep your mouth shut tight!" Zora warned Maddox in a low voice, "Or none of us will survive!"

This confirmed my suspicion that this was no small matter.

After a long silence, Zora's gentle voice came again, " Maddox, I remember everything you've done for me. I won't let you down! But first, I need to be alright, so that you can be alright too, right? Your efforts won't be in vain!"

It seemed Zora was trying a soft approach now.

"Even if you find out about that woman, what can you do? Zora, I'm warning you, this man is no good. You're too involved to see clearly!" Maddox's tone softened significantly, almost pleading.

"Would I be so persistent if I wasn't sure?" Zora retorted, "This time, I won't easily give up. He has to answer to me!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. As long as he makes up his mind, I've won!" Zora said fiercely, "Then even if I let go, he'll have to pay me a satisfying price. I won't waste my efforts, you can rest assured!"

"You're saying... you've got something on him?" Maddox asked quietly, his voice filled with excitement.

"More than just something!" Zora responded dismissively.

"Tell me, I want to know if it'll work," Maddox asked playfully.

Zora snorted coldly, "Knowing too much won't do you any good. Just focus on finding out more about this woman. I won't tolerate any hiccups in my plan!"
