Chapter 44 

The next day 

Jaylan woke up, rubbing his neck and wincing in discomfort. 

I asked, feigning confusion, “What’s up? Why are you constantly rubbing your neck?” 

Of course, I knew why I was the one who’d shaken his head the previous night. 

“I haven’t slept that deeply in ages!” Jaylan replied, getting out of bed “You should get some more sleep” 

“More sleep? Aren’t we supposed to be heading to the hospital?” I asked, annoyed 

He paused, as if remembering something, “Oh, right! I completely forgot!” 

“Why are you so careless about my health? The other day when I complained of a headache, you dismissed it. It’s only been a few days. It took the hairdresser to notice something was wrong. I’m starting to think you’re doing this on purpose,” I said bluntly. 

“Honey, I swear I didn’t see anything when you showed me. I’m innocent! Let’s go to the hospital,” Jaylan pleaded, appearing innocent 

Of course, we never made it to the hospital. As we were about to leave, Jerome called. Their father Farley Dawson was having a seizure, and Jaylan needed to rush over 

I smirked. What convenient timing! I simply couldn’t believe such a coincidence 

“Let’s go together I want to see him,” I said with an anxious expression. 

It felt like a play, and I was ready to give a performance. 

Jaylan held me back, “Allie, you should stay here. I’ll check on him, and if it’s seribus, I’ll come back for you.” 

I relented, “Fine, I’ll stay. In poor health, I don’t want to cause any trouble.” 

And with that, Jaylan left, promising to come back for me. But he didn’t return. Not for three days. 

During those three days, I didn’t sit idly by. I was busy making arrangements. 

First, I visited the hospital and had a thorough check–up. Then, I arranged for Carl to be admitted to the preschool that took Robert in. He’d be a hinderance in what I had to do next settle scores with Zora 

I had Logan fetch me a bunch of the highest–grade pinhole cameras on the market. While Zora was out like a light, I installed them in the most concealed spots around the house Counter–surveillance was the key if I were to crack this do–or–die puzzle. 

I’d made early arrangements with an experienced nanny, on standby for my call to start working. 

Everything set, and Catherine went straight to Silverdale City. She had her own mission 

Just thinking about Jaylan’s transfer records made my heart pound out of my chest 

On a sudden hunch, I checked our shared bank account. I was stunned to find that a huge sum of money was missing. No deposits had been made for a good while, either. We were on the brink of going broke.  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

This discovery left me weak–kneed. Amid all the confusions and changes, it hit me – Jaylan had been scheming to make me bankrupt all along. 

Enough blueprinting the troubles! I was preparing for a battle. 

And when everything was ready, Jaylan finally returned home. 

The moment he stepped through the door, I confronted him, “Honey, why is there so much money missing from our joint account?” 

He looked surprised. He clearly hadn’t expected me to notice so soon. His face changed, and he looked annoyed 

He sat next to me, tiredly rubbing my head, I’ve invested in a project recently. The technology it uses is groundbreaking. The clinical data was promising 

too. 

I’ve been studying it for a while now, and I wanted to monopolize it. That’s why it required a large investment You weren’t feeling well recently, and I didn’t want to stress you out. So, I made the decision without consulting you Allie, are you mad at me?” 

And just like that, the performance had begun. He was quite the actor
