Seeing the message, Elijah felt a chill run down his spine. His hand shook, and he nearly dropped his phone to the floor.

The veins on his forehead pulsed twice as he replied: Ms. Wilkin, please don't do this. Don't get me into trouble! Knowing how jealous Zachary was, Elijah couldn't imagine what would happen if he found out about this.

Just the last time, when Lenora had casually remarked at a restaurant in Nardor that she liked his personality, Zachary overheard and had been after him for boxing practice ever since they got back, under the guise of a sparring session. In truth, it had been a one-sided beatdown.

Elijah couldn't back out, so he went through two rounds with Zachary, who didn't hold back one bit. Each punch felt harder than the last, and the bruises on his body hadn't faded yet.

One more session, and he was done for.

Lenora replied: Trouble is exactly what I have in mind. Otherwise, you'd all just think I'm a fool.

Now, Elijah was sure Lenora knew. He tried to play dumb. I don't get what you're saying.

Lenora sent the recording directly. Quit pretending. You can't hide from this.

Hearing the recording, Elijah went silent, not replying for a long time.

Lenora sneered inwardly. Say something! Don't just play dead!

She added: Let the supplier handle the mediation with the Morris family normally! If you insist on continuing like this, I'll cover the payment to the Morris family myself. Elijah repli

Is this really necessary?

Lenora shot back: And is what Zachary's doing necessary?

She added: He's relentless!

Elijah stayed silent.

Lenora pressed the lock button, switched off her phone, and took a deep breath, unable to quell the frustration welling up inside.

It felt like an endless rainy day, with mold creeping up the white walls in the corner of her mind.

She regretted ever liking Zachary. It had thrown her life into chaos.

000

A few days ago, she'd even suspected Richie was using defective materials on purpose, only to realize the real truth: Richie was being set up by none other than her ex-husband. All this misfortune had befallen the Morris family because of her.

Her original goal was to help Connor so he could trust her more, but Zachary had taken it upon himself to act, causing Connor to fear his influence and pull away from her. All her efforts had gone to waste.

What's more, she had known nothing of this, yet had been forced to bear half the blame as if she were some femme fatale.

She had no genuine feelings for Connor as her interest in him was for another purpose. But what if she did love someone else?

Zachary would continue to disrupt her life, making it impossible to live in peace. The very thought suffocated her.

She had no freedom to speak of.

Lenora opened her chat with Connor and began typing slowly: Connor, I'm really sorry. I just realized that the person in the recording is a friend of Zachary's. I'm sorry. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I've already spoken to him, and I've asked him to let you go through normal mediation. If that fails, I'll cover the compensation myself, and you can transfer the debt rights to me. Connor quickly replied: I understand, Ms. Wilkin. It has nothing to do with you; you don't need to apologize to me. I've always said that a wonderful person like you deserves better. Losing you is Zachary's loss.

Connor's understanding only made Lenora feel worse.

After the conversation with Connor, Lenora said quietly to Harrietta, "Hattie, I'm going out to take a call. Call me if you need anything."

Harrietta nodded obediently.

Lenora walked to the emergency exit. Her face remained expressionless as she dialed Zachary's number.

Beep... beep...

The phone rang for a long time, and just as it was about to disconnect, Zachary picked up.

"Hey, Nora?" His voice was groggy and hoarse, sounding like he had just woken up.

Ignoring his tone, Lenora demanded coldly, "Zachary, did you have Elijah set up the Morris family? How can you be so underhanded? You promised you wouldn't interfere with me anymore! When have you ever kept your word?" Silence followed for a while before his voice, weak and drained, came through. "Is that really what you think of me?"

He saw her call and joyfully picked up, only to be met with a barrage of questioning that instantly dampened his spirits.

"Isn't it true?" Lenora's

was frigid, each word pointed and accusing.

"Heh." Zachary let out a low, bitter laugh, his voice icy. "Connor's father knowingly bought defective materials. Isn't it only natural that he'd be reported? Why am I being blamed?"

As things stood, Zachary had lost all credibility with her.

Lenora brushed off his words as nonsense.

Even if Richie had used defective materials on purpose, her goal was to gain Connor's trust.

As for Richie, she'd ensure he was brought to justice once she had proof of his involvement in her father's kidnapping and death.

Lenora laughed coldly. "Seems like you know quite a lot about this, huh? So you collaborated with them

and then reported them. Is that right?"

Is she that afraid Connor would come to despise her?

Zachary began coughing violently, taking a while to catch his breath. When he finally spoke, it was with a tone of resignation. "You're so infatuated with Connor that you're blind to reason. Don't blame me for no reason. You don't spend decades tap dancing on hornets' nests, and not expect to be stung, Richie got reported because he deserved it. It has nothing to do with me!"

Lenora snorted. "Lies! Wasn't Elijah acting on your orders? Why else would he target the Morris family?"

"Elijah is Elijah, and I'm me. What does his behavior have to do with me? How would I know why he targeted the Morris family? Should he report every bathroom trip to me, too? Ha, Zachary, you're not only a liar now but also shameless. Look at the sorry state you're in. I'm so glad we divorced!"

Lenora's words cut into Zachary's heart like a knife, leaving him aching, and bitter.

His eyes were slightly red, as he tilted his head back to gaze at the ceiling, His throat felt as if it was filled with sand, raw and scratched.

He clenched his fists, knuckles cracking, straining to keep his voice steady as he said, "So, in your eyes, I'll always be in the wrong, no matter what? Is that right?"

"You know exactly what you did!"

"I told you it wasn't me. What will it take for you to believe me? Do you want me dead?"

Realizing Zachary still wouldn't admit anything, Lenora lost interest in arguing further and hung up on

him.

She put her phone away, took a deep breath, and walked slowly to the window, gazing out into the distance.

Back then, Zachary had seemed so dazzling to her-handsome, tall, knowledgeable, kind, and from a good family. All these qualities had made her fall for him deeply,

Now, with the fog of youth cleared away, Zachary was no different from any other man, especially with his possessiveness and stubbornness.

The person she once thought of as her heart's mark had now become a faded memory.

Luckily, she had managed to break away in time.

Once she avenged her father, she'd move abroad, putting as much distance as possible between her and Zachary,

The next morning, Lenora was at home with Harrietta, working on crafts.

Thud, thud, thud...

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door,

Lenora walked over to the door and glanced at the electronic screen, seeing Elijah standing outside.

She opened the door, raising an eyebrow at him. "What are you doing here?"

Elijah looked grim, his lips pressed into a thin line. "What did you say to Zachary?"
