The thought alone made Zachary's grip tighten unconsciously, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. His eyes, hawk-like, darkened considerably as they focused on Lenora. With his anger surging, a bitter sourness also rose within him, while a dull throbbing crept its way into his body.

Lenora noticed Zachary's gaze becoming more intense, sending chills down her spine. She forcefully broke free from his grip. "Zachary, what are you doing? You're hurting me!"

Zachary took a deep breath, suppressing the resentful words that were rising in his throat. He let go of Lenora's hand. "You never liked Jonas, did you? You never liked him from the start, right?"

Rubbing her wrist, Lenora shot Zachary a cold glance before turning to leave. "Who I like is none of your business."

Zachary stood in place, his gaze fixed intently on Lenora's retreating figure.

He had guessed correctly.

The man she liked wasn't Jonas!

Nonetheless, there was no way she would harbor any feelings for Connor.

For someone like her, who hailed from a single-parent family and lost her father at a young age, it was probably difficult to develop affection for someone younger than herself.

According to psychological analysis, she was likely drawn to someone older than her, someone who could provide her with a level of care reminiscent of a father's love.

For a fleeting moment, Zachary questioned if the man was Lenora's professor during her university days. He may have taken advantage of her naive longing for love and lured her in, only to abandon her in the end. That could be why she confessed that the man she loved did not love her back!

It must have been like that.

Zachary dialed Miles' number without hesitation. "Look into Lenora's social interactions during her university years, especially her relationships with her professors," he ordered.

"Understood!" Miles responded.

With Mr. Fuller specifically targeting Mrs. Fuller's teachers, it seems he knows something.

After ending the call, Zachary made another one, this time to the person in charge at Stardust Entertainment. He urged him to try and recruit Jonas.

Lenora didn't have feelings for Jonas, but Jonas was fond of Lenora.

After bringing Jonas over and putting in some effort to promote him, not only could they make money, but they could also keep him so busy that he wouldn't have time to bother Lenora!

The head of Stardust Entertainment was in full agreement. "Mr. Fuller, I also see great potential in Jonas. I'll go and discuss this with his team right away."

Then again, why did Lenora claim to have feelings for Connor?

Zachary slightly furrowed his brows.

He stood in place for a moment, then turned and ascended the stairs.

Miranda asked, "Mr. Fuller, would you like to have dinner now? Or would you prefer to wait for Ms. Harrietta?"

"I'll wait for her. Wake her up in an hour."

"All right."

An hour later, Miranda woke Harrietta up.

Harrietta was utterly exhausted. She remained sprawled on the bed while whining that she didn't want to

eat:

Zachary personally came over ar arried Harrietta downstairs. "Hattie, tell me, what did you all talk about during lunch today?"

Harrietta immediately snapped to full wakefulness, her young face full of confusion. "Uncle Zachary, I got to see that Connor man. He's not as handsome as you, his physique is not as good as yours, and he's not as wealthy as you. Why would Aunt Lenora want to divorce you? Did she replace out you have a mistress?"

"I don't have a mistress!"

How did this girl even learn that word?

"Oh, all right then. Actually, Connor didn't get to have lunch before he was called back to the office."

"What did they talk about?"

Nothing much. However, he served Aunt Lenora some food, and she ate it!"

Zachary's face darkened. "What else?"

Could it be that Lenora really had feelings for Connor?

"Also, he invited Aunt Lenora to have lunch together on Saturday." Harrietta chuckled. "But I told Aunt Lenora that I wanted to join them, and she agreed!" "Very smart. Come on, let's eat."

Miranda had already set their meal on the dining table.

After finishing her dinner, Harrietta sat on the couch, clutching her white tiger plushies and engrossed in watching cartoons.

Zachary descended the stairs with his phone in hand. "Hattie, your grandma's on a video call."

With delighted surprise, Harrietta took the phone. She looked at Tamara on the screen, puckered her lips, and gave two kisses. "Grandma! Good evening!"

Tamara saw that Harrietta was in high spirits, which eased her worries. "Hattie, how do you replace Jacaster?"

"I really love Jacaster!"

"I can tell. Where has your uncle taken you to these past couple of days?"

Harrietta carnestly corrected, "It was Aunt Lenora who took me to many places. Look!"

She held up the white tiger plushies in front of the camera. "These are the white tiger plushies Aunt Lenora bought for me at the zoo. There are three of them! They're just too adorable!" Tamara's face fell. "Aunt Lenora? As in Lenora Wilkin? Didn't your uncle divorce her?"

Harrietta knew that Tamara didn't like Lenora. She explained in a hushed tone, "Uncle Zachary was busy, so he let Aunt Lenora take me. Grandma, I like playing with Aunt Lenora!"

A glimmer of displeasure flashed in Tamara's eyes, her expression growing even more sullen. When she next spoke, her tone was stern. "Zachary, are you there? I entrusted Hattie to you, and this is how you take care of her? You handed her over to a stranger! Weren't you afraid something might happen to Hattie?"

Harrietta's face turned pale, and she silently set down the tiger plushies.

Zachary was indeed sitting nearby. He said, "Aunt Tamara, you're worrying too much. Even though Lenora and I are divorced, she is still the adopted daughter of the Fuller family. How could she be an outsider?"

"Is her last name Wilkin or Fuller? Even siblings need to keep things clear. Have you forgotten who the current CEO is? Are you certain that Lenora has no ulterior motives?"

Tamara's irritability escalated as her voice became shrill and biting. "Also, since you've already divorced her, why are you still entangled with her? Do you plan to remarry or not? What's wrong with all of you? L You're all completely bewitched by Lenora! Your grandfather is like this, you're like this, and so are you, Harrietta! Listen to me, stop calling Lenora 'aunt' and stop going out to play with her! Otherwise, don't consider me your grandmother anymore!"

"Waaa!"

The phone fell onto the couch. Harrietta, terrified to the point of turning pale, clutched the white tiger plushies and began to sob uncontrollably.

She had always been a smart and sensible girl. This was the first time Zachary had seen her shed tears. Her lips were pursed tight, her eyes misty with unshed tears as she tried not to cry yet was unable to hold back. It broke his heart to see her like this. Immediately, Zachary lifted Harrietta onto his lap, cooing softly, "Hattie, don't cry, don't cry."

Picking up his phone, he cast a displeased glance at Tamara while frowning deeply. "Aunt Tamara, let me make this clear: I will not remarry! I appreciate you taking care of me during my childhood, but I'm an adult now. Please stop interfering in my personal affairs! As for Hattic, if she likes Lenora, let her be. Why do you have to meddle in the child's preferences?"

In a fit of anger, Tamara exclaimed, "I may not be able to control you, but can't I even have a say in Harrietta's life? I've raised her all these years, not for her to defy me! Harrietta! Stop crying! If you continue to disobey me, don't bother coming back. Go live with your Aunt Lenora!"

Harrietta lay in Zachary's arms, her crying growing more intense.

Zachary's gaze was sharp. "Then Hattie won't go back. I'll put her in my family registry, so she can attend school in this area."

After saying that, he immediately ended the video call.

Given his status and connections, it was no problem for him to have Harrietta put in his family registry. Getting her into a kindergarten was even less of an issue. 12:39 Mon, 11
