Chapter 176 It Is Over

The bonfire event came to a lively end, with all the tourists gathering for a group photo. Afterward, they returned to the coach, ready to head back home.

Meanwhile, the black sedan trailed behind them all the way on their return journey.

By the time they returned to the hotel, it was already four in the morning.

The trio, however, didn't feel a hint of fatigue. They reminisced about the aurora they had seen, flipping through the photos they had taken. They chatted happy, their excitement growing within them. Sophia selected a few photos and posted them on Twitter.

Previously, when news about Lenora and Zachary first broke, Sophia stood up for Lenora, and clashed with netizens. As a result, she faced a lot of criticism.

After Zachary personally clarified matters, the situation took an unexpected turn. Sophia, due to her willingness to go to great lengths for her friends, gained a significant increase in popularity.

Of course, there were some naysayers who claimed that Sophia and Lenora were not friends at all, merely riding on each other's popularity. Sophia would typically pay no mind to such individuals.

When she decided to go on a trip, she mentioned it on her social media. Many of her followers shared their experiences in the comments.

When she left Olswick, she shared her experiences exploring the city on her social media, accompanied by carefully selected and edited photos.

This time, Sophia posted a collage.

Surrounding her were eight pictures, all depicting landscapes and the Northern Lights. The photo right in the middle was of the three of them, captured under the glow of the aurora.

The comments gradually heated up.

Some praised the beauty of the aurora, others shared their travel experiences, while a few were steeped in envy and resentment.

Amidst a chorus of harmonious voices, Sophia suddenly spotted a glaring comment.

Netizen: In that middle photo, the lady on the left is Ms. Willin, right? She's quite cunning, isn't she? Seeing you defend her, getting berated by everyone online, yet she just hides behind you without uttering a word. I bet she's just using you, doesn't consider you a friend at all. These wealthy folks, each one craftier than the last.

Sophia was tempted to respond, to give them a piece of her mind. But after some thought, she decided to delete the comment instead.

Before it was deleted, Lenora still managed to see it.

The trio didn't go to bed until five in the morning.

Lenora lay in bed in the midst of darkness. She closed her eyes and reflected on her actions.

Why was Sophia so fearless, confidently clapping back at those keyboard warriors on Twitter? Despite the harsh criticism in the comments, and even crueler worlls in private messages, Sophia remained unafraid. Why couldn't she be the same? She wasn't as strong as she had thought herself to be.

Often times, her indifference demeanor was a façade sije painstakingly maintained.

She feared being looked down upon by Zachary and was aware that he had no tolerance for those who wallowed in self-pity.

Back when she was accused of being the other woman, even if she couldn't express herself on social media. she had the option to clear her name by holding a press conference or broadcasting live.

However, she had never considered doing so.

Zachary had wronged her, causing her to feel upset, heartbroken, and resentful. However, she swallowed the bitter pill alone, never once resisting,

Over the years, striving to keep pace with Zachary and earning his approval had become a habit for her.

She had grown accustomed to pleasing him.

Hence, even when she was humiliated, she dared not complain in front of Gerald. She feared his anger and even more, his growing disdain for her. Hence, even when wrongly accused, she dared not assert herself to clarify the situation, for fear that he would become angry and detest her even more. Lenora had to be grateful for her two friends. Without them, she might have truly struggled to move on.

During the years she was infatuated with Zachary, she lost too much of herself.

Now, she was determined to be true to herself, considering her own needs wholeheartedly. She no longer felt the need to gauge others' reactions, nor did she have to tread carefully anymore.

After tossing and turning restlessly, Lenora got up in the middle of the night. She logged into her main Twitter account, which she hadn't logged in since she had been cyberbullied, and posted: It's over The accompanying image was a photo of her divorce certificate.

Underneath the Twitter post, hundreds of comments flooded in within a blink of an eye, and the number was still rapidly increasing.

Netizens had already been speculating that Zachary had been unfaithful. This Twitter post was almost the final nail in the coffin. In the comment section, some sympathized with her, others supported her, some harshly criticized the unfaithful Zachary, while others attacked Susanna, the third party in their relationship.

However, all of this no longer concerned her.

The moment she posted on social media, she felt an immense sense of relief, like a weight had been lifted off her chest. She let out a deep, satisfying sigh.

She no longer had to worry about displeasing Zachary, nor did she have to fret over any potential impact

on him.

She turned off her phone, shut her eyes, and swiftly drifted off into dreamland.

She was oblivious to the fact that Zachary, who was in the next room, was lying in bed, unable to fall asleep.

In the end, he retrieved a piece of Lenora's clothing from his suitcase, cradling it in his arms.

In the days following his discharge from the hospital, he moved back into the master bedroom. Lying on the large bed that she once slept in, it was only the lingering scent of her that allowed him to drift into a light sleep. However, it wasn't long before he was roused from his slumber by the ringing of his phone.

Miles, his assistant, told him to check the trending topics on Twitter.

Zachary opened up Twitter, only to replace the top trending topic be #Zachary LenoraDivorce.

Upon clicking in, he saw the Twitter post that Lenora had recently posted not long ago.

Zachary felt as though he had been dealt a heavy blow to the heart, a dull ache subtly making its presence

known.

Was she really that eager to sever ties with him, to free herself from him?

Could it be that she really had feelings for Connor?

He clutched the bedsheet tightly, barely restraining himself from knocking on Lenora's door, a shadowy glint flickering in the depths of his eyes.

At one o'clock in the afternoon the following day, Lenora leisurely awoke, while Sophia and Fiona were still deep in slumber.

Lenora glanced at the time, choosing not to wake them up. After all, it wouldn't be long before night fell and there wasn't much they could do with the little time they had left.

When Lenora was cleaning up, Sophia and Fiona in the other two rooms awakened.

It was already past three when they finished lunch and headed out.

The sky gradually began to darken.

As soon as she stepped out the door, Lenora turned around and saw Elijah.

He had just closed the door of the room two doors down, seemingly about to head out.

Upon seeing Lenora and her companions, he gave a slight nod in Lenora's direction. "So, you're staying

here too?" he asked.

Yet, there wasn't a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"You're staying here too? What a coincidence. Are you heading out?" Lenora asked.

Elijah pointed toward the next room. "Yes, I'm going out with my friend."

"Hope you guys have a blast."

"You too."

Lenora and her friends began their day by casually exploring the city center. They visited the museum in Torthbury, along with the aquarium, library, and pedestrian street. They also took time to admire the majestic Arctic Cathedral

The unique triangular architecture was striking. The Arctic Cathedral was incredibly beautiful at night, and Sophia couldn't resist capturing numerous captivating photos.

At six o'clock, they found a restaurant to have dinner.

Halfway through their meal, Sophia suddenly cursed out loud, shoving her phone across the table. "Nora, look at this," she said.

Lenora cast a puzzled glance, only to replace a Twitter profile displayed on the screen. Zachary had registered a personal account, complete with identity verification. In just twelve hours, he had already amassed millions of followers. His red and gold verified badge shone brightly.

He had only posted a single tweet, seemingly in response to Lenora: The path is long and filled with obstacles, but perseverance leads to the destination.

Sophia put away her phone, expressing her annoyance, "What he's implying, isn't that he doesn't want to let go? That would just be pointless."

Lenora shook her head. "Perhaps they were talking about him and Susanna?"

"Forget about him, as long as you, Nora, stand your ground," Fiona said.

"I understand."

Not far from them, in a secluded spot, Zachary heard Lenora's unwavering reply. His fingers tightened abruptly, a pain piercing through his heart as if stabbed by a needle.

She truly had no lingering attachments whatsoever.
