The recent news had caused an uproar. The company's senior management hadn't mentioned it, not because they were unimportant but rather because they didn't have the authority to do so. However, the executive deputy CEO had the authority.

He wasn't just an executive deputy CEO but also one of the company's shareholders and a member of the board of directors, with direct ties to the company's stock, so bringing this up was not out of place. Perhaps everyone understood that the issue lay with Zachary, yet no one dared to point a finger at him...

Lenora's face turned even paler when she was publicly singled out, a deep sense of shame washing over her. "I'm truly sorry for letting my personal issues affect the company..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Zachary interrupted her.

He glanced at everyone calmly. "I don't think now is the time to discuss this."

Apart from the chief financial officer, whose appointment or dismissal was subject to board voting, Zachary had the direct authority to appoint or remove other department and project heads.

Jeremiah Gale, the executive deputy CEO who had just spoken, forced a smile. "Indeed."

It was clear that Zachary was intent on protecting Lenora and saying anything more would be pointless.

"Let's continue," Zachary said nonchalantly.

With a warm smile, Billy said, "What I intended to say has already been mentioned by the previous speakers, so I won't repeat it."

His tone then shifted. "However, I had dinner with Director Ladley a few days ago. He mentioned to me that Ms. Wilkin rejected his sponsorship invitation and even blocked him. Lenora, is there any truth to this?"

Another executive deputy CEO chimed in, "Director Timothy Ladley? Isn't he working on a talent show right now? Securing naming rights would be a great opportunity. The fan economy in the domestic entertainment industry is quite strong."

That executive deputy CEO was Lester Lewis. He was in charge of MQ and several other brands. He was also Lenora's direct superior. However, he didn't usually micromanage, preferring to delegate authority to his subordinates.

Everyone's gazes were simultaneously fixed on Lenora.

Lenora looked at Billy, calmly admitting, "Yes, that did happen..."

"Lenora, you've been with Fuller Group for three years now. Don't you know by now what should and shouldn't be done?" Billy immediately said.

Lester tried to smooth things over. "Lenora's work performance over the years has been undeniable. I think this matter is probably a misunderstanding. How about this-I'll arrange a dinner with Director Ladley sometime, offer an apology, and this matter will be resolved."

Before Lenora could speak, Billy interjected, "No time like the present. I think we should do it tonight!".

"Mr. Wimble, I'm sorry, but I won't apologize to him!" Lenora finally found the right opportunity to speak up. Lester looked at her in surprise.

"Lenora, do you realize the implications of your words Billy confronted her immediately. "Because of you, Director Ladley was offended, causing a massive loss for MQ. Can you shoulder such a responsibility?"

"Massive loss? Has MQ suffered a loss?" Lenora asked, maintaining a tone that was neither haughty nor humble.

Billy was momentarily speechless, then scoffed, "No, there hasn't been a loss, but why wouldn't we opt for a better choice if there is one?"

"I have plans for MQ's future development, and there are reasons behind my choices. I value the sincere advice given by you all and will take them into serious consideration. However, Mr. Wimble, if you insist on questioning me based on unfounded issues, I refuse to accept any blame." Lenora spoke firmly and resolutely, her tone laced with a hint of tenacity.

Zachary looked at Lenora, who was brimming with self-confidence and an unyielding spirit, a hint of

admiration flashing in his eyes.

This young lady has grown remarkably over the past few years. She's now capable of handling high-level meetings with

ease.

Billy's expression began to darken as he was humiliated in front of everyone. "Then tell me, what's your reason for not taking his offer?"

"I believed that Director Ladley's show is not sustainable and poses significant risks."

That risk was Timothy himself.

In the end, Lenora was right. Timothy was going to be exposed by trainees for using his position for sexual favors. Those who didn't comply were eliminated through shady means, and as a result, the show was canceled. Afterward, the relevant authorities even introduced regulations banning such shows.

However, right then, Billy was unaware of this. "Hmph, so many investors see potential in this show, but you think you're better than all of them-"

"Enough!" Zachary interrupted. "Is such a trivial matter worth all this seriousness from you to argue incessantly, Mr. Wimble?"

Billy wore a stern expression. "I'm just considering the company's interests."

Zachary smiled but said nothing.

Given Lenora's temperament, she wouldn't block a client unless the client had done something excessively inappropriate.

Lester smoothed things over again. "Mr. Wimble, don't worry too much. It's just a show director. If we can't collaborate, then so be it. Lenora, you just focus on your work and don't worry about it."

He wasn't one for power struggles and greed; that much was clear. Over the years, Lenora managed MQ quite well under his supervision. His life was carefree, devoid of worries, and he still received a substantial share of the profits. What a comfortable arrangement i was! When Billy noticed that no one supported him, his expression turned even darker. He shot Lenora a fierce glare.

Just as he was retracting his gaze, he felt a chill down his spine. Turning slightly, he found Zachary's icy stare sweeping over him. His heart skipped a beat, and he instantly deflated, sitting silently until the meeting ended.

At the end of the meeting, Zachary sorted the documents in his hands, deliberately pausing in his seat for a few seconds. Once most people had left, he said to Lenora, "Ms. Wilkin, please come to my office."

The two emerged from the conference room when his secretary approached them. "Mr. Fuller, the two police officers are already waiting in the lounge."

"We're heading over right now."

We?

Lenora was still perplexed when Zachary turned to look at her. "I was the one who had someone contact the police. We can't let the person who leaked your personal information get away with it." That was when Lenora understood his intentions.

She had originally planned to go to the police station after work to file a report.

The police took Lenora's statement, leaving the rest of the matter in the lawyer's hands.

In addition to the netizens who leaked Lenora's personal information, several others who actively spread

rumors in the comments section would also be sued.

After seeing off the police, Lenora followed Zachary to his office.

"Mr. Fuller, is there anything else you need?"

"Yesterday, I left my phone in the car," Zachary mentioned casually as if to explain why he hadn't answered her call.

He had returned from his morning run to replace that she had already left for the office. He had two meetings in the morning, and it was only now that he found the time to talk to Lenora. "Oh," Lenora responded nonchalantly, her face calm and composed.

He had secretly gone to meet Susanna and clearly didn't want to be disturbed. Yet, he was now putting on a show and explaining himself. Did he really think she was that easy to fool? Lenora added, "I was trying to get in touch with you yesterday because there was a document that needed your signature."

She wasn't trying to spy on his whereabouts or interfere with his personal matters. If he wanted to spend time with Susanna, then she was not going to do anything about it.

"I thought you wanted to ask if I'd be coming home for dinner."

Lenora did not respond to that.

Waiting for him to come home for dinner was something that used to happen in the past.

Now, she no longer cared if he had eaten or if he was warm enough. She no longer tied his tie for him either.

Zachary pursed his lips, shifting the topic, "Why did you block Director Ladley?"

Lenora's expression stiffened. "There was just a minor issue..."

"You're not telling the truth," Zachary asserted confidently.

"I just don't think it's a big deal," Lenora said, her tone nonchalant.

"It's not like you to block a client over something trivial. This doesn't match your usual way of doing things."

Lenora parted her lips slightly but said nothing. She silently lowered her gaze, embodying a clear refusal to communicate.

It wasn't that she wasn't upset, but she thought there was no need to explain.

Even if she told him, Zachary wouldn't resolve the issue. Instead, it would only embarrass her.

Upon seeing this, Zachary didn't press further. "If you're not willing to talk, then I won't ask anymore. That's all. You can go back to work now. For the time being, try to avoid logging into social media platforms," he suggested. "Alright."

Lenora nodded, turning to leave. As she reached the door, Zachary called out to her again. "By the way, we've identified the person behind the recent news leak. It's Lola. How do you want to handle this?"
