Seeing Lenora silent, Susanna smiled triumphantly. 62%

Even if Lenora confronted Zachary, and Zachary revealed Lenora's photos and identity, she could only bring shame upon herself. She would never be able to hold her head high in front of Zachary. Susanna continued, "Can't you see it yet? Zack is in love with me! If it wasn't for your relentless pursuit of Zack, trying to tear us apart, how would the old man have died? You're nothing but a jinx!" Shut your mouth!"

Lenora's face turned pale, her eyes red-rimmed, "You think I'd fall for your tricks? No matter what's between Zachary and me, it's no excuse for you to provoke Grandpa. Don't even dream about slinging mud at me!" Just like with Lola, she wouldn't be fooled.

She was not a jinx!

She wasn't!

"I simply can't hold my tongue!" Susanna scoffed coldly. "You jinx! It's because of you that the old man died! You're nothing but a promiscuous slt. Even if you keep clinging onto Zachary, he will never like you! She let out a cold huff, striding away swiftly.

Watching Susanna's figure, Lenora stood still and let out a cold, mocking laugh.

When Lenora returned to the private room, her plate was already filled with some of her favorite dishes.

Zachary withdrew his fork and looked up. "You're back?"

"Mm." Lenora took a seat, her gaze lowered. "Zachary"

"Hmmm?" Zachary noticed her unusual mood and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I ran into Susanna earlier, she was with Timothy."

"She brought it upon herself."

"But, I recall you mentioning that you had Susanna confined to Triune Hospital. Why is she out?" Lenora looked up, her gaze devoid of any emotion as she stared at Zachary

She knew Gerald's health was deteriorating

She had been prepared for a long time, knowing that the day would come when her grandfather would leave.

What she hoped for was that her grandfather would die a natural death. She had hoped for it to be a situation filled with helplessness, with no room for change, steeped in sadness but not regret. 1/5

Gerald shouldn't have been infuriated to death by Susanna without a clear reason!

He had lived a legendary life, yet in the end, he was literally infuriated motives. No matter what, Lenora just couldn't accept it

to death by a woman with ulterior

Zachary was momentarily flustered and retorted, "What did she tell you?"

Could it be that Susanna had already told her about her identity and the matter with the photo?

"I'm asking you a question!" Lenora suddenly raised her voice, her gaze piercing into Zachary. "That was your grandfather! Are you so enamored with Susanna that you could easily let the murderer who killed him go?" "Nora, I've told you before, I don't fancy Susanna..."

You're still lying to me!" Lenora coldly stared at him.

He was fond of Susanna, but Susanna was responsible for his grandfather's death. He couldn't overcome this obstacle, which prevented him from being with her. Yet, he still couldn't bear to see Susanna face any form of punishment.

If he knew that Susanna was manipulated, he might have felt sorry for her and gone to support her again.

She really hadn't expected, even after being divorced for so long, Zachary was still deceiving her.

The words he spoke in the hospital room that day, she had almost believed them.

Luckily, she didn't let her heart soften, otherwise she would have been the biggest fool in the world. "I'm not."

"Then tell me, why did you let her go?"

Zachary looked at her, his lips twitching slightly before he lowered his gaze, remaining silent.

He couldn't reveal her identity.

He wouldn't let her know about the child she had given birth to.

With a cool and mocking laugh, Lenora said, "Go on, speak up!"

"How am I supposed to believe you?"

"Uncle Zachary, Aunt Lenora, could you please stop arguing... Harietta said weakly with her fork in hand.

Coming back to her senses, Lenora took a deep breath, regaining her composure. She gave Harietta a slight smile. "All right, let's stop arguing

When she came face to face with Susanna, she lost her composure. She even found herself arguing with Zachary in front of Harietta. It was a serious misstep.

Zachary didn't say anything else.

However, the atmosphere at the dinner table had clearly become tense.

After finishing their meal, the trio left the restaurant together.

Susanna had drunk so much that she felt nauseous, her stomach bloated to the point of wanting to throw up. Finally, she managed to slip out of the private room. As soon as she turned around, she saw the retreating figures of three people. Zachary and Lenora walked on either side, leading the ever energetic Harietta between them. It looked just like they were family.

She faintly heard Zachary say to Lenora, "I'll take you and Hattie back home."

Susanna's expression froze. her gaze fixated on them, unwavering until the trio turned the corner and vanished from sight. Why was Zachary still with Lenora?

Hadn't he already discovered the true nature of Lenora?

Could it be that he was so enamored with Lenora, so much so that he could tolerate her reckless behavior regarding childbirth?

So, had he deliberately shown indifference toward Lenora last time just to make her lower her guard and hand over all the photos she had?

Zachary! You really know your game!

Susanna clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh.

What did she ever do to deserve this? What?

Why was it that she was blacklisted, forced to curry favor with sleazy, greasy old men just to get a chance to appear on a variety show? Yet Lenora did nothing and still won Zachary's heart. Even her mess-ups were forgiven by Zachary She simply couldn't accept it!

On the way back, Lenora didn't pay much attention to Zachary

Once they arrived at the base of the loft, Lenora and Haricita stepped out of the car. With an impassive look, Lenora glanced at Zachary, saying, "We're here now. You can go."

Zachary grasped Lenora's hand, his eyes filled with pain. "Nora," he said, "whether you believe me or not, I need to tell you, I didn't lie to you, I have my reasons... "What reasons?" Lenora looked up.

Zachary pursed his lips, averting his gaze. "I can't talk about it now."

"I'm giving you one chance, tell me, and I'll certainly believe you."

Seeing Zachary remain silent, Lenora patiently said, "Zachary, I'm giving you a chance. If you don't speak up, then I'll assume you agree with what I've said."

She had just mentioned that he fancied Susanna, and that he was still deceiving her.

If he kept quiet, she would take that he agreed with her statement might never reconcile with him again,

A touch of obscurity flashed in Zachary's eyes, his fists clenched tightly as he closed his eyes.

After waiting for two minutes without him saying a word, Lenora lost her patience. She took Harietta's hand. "Hartie, let's go.

As Harietta walked away, she kept looking back at Zachary,

Zachary slowly opened his eyes, watching her retreating figure. His gaze was so profound and distant, filled with a thousand words left unsaid. Yet, all these unspoken words silently disappeared into the darkness, forming an invisible shield, protecting her from the storm. He slowly raised his hand and gestured toward Harietta

Harietta then turned around and headed home with Lenora

Inside the elevator, Lenora stared at the ascending numbers on the small screen, her gaze unfocused and

distant.

She truly couldn't comprehend what Zachary's dilemma was.

He would rather admit that he harbor feelings for Susanna by keeping quiet than to voice out his reasons.

Could it be that he had no reason at all, and was simply fond of Susanna?

She didn't want to think about it any further.

"Aunt Lenora, we're here," Harietta reminded in her youthful, childlike voice.

Snapping back to reality, Lenora led Harietta out of the elevator.

Upon returning home, Lenora reached out to a Mysona client she had previously collaborated with. She didn't mention anything about her father, only stating that there was a fugitive currently in Yiefmery.

The client was currently in their home country and couldn't provide much assistance. However, they had recommended someone to Lenora. They said this person was a figure in the Mysonna underworld, known as Jayden.

Immediately, Lenora reached out to the man named Jayden.

Upon learning of Lenora's intentions, Jayden immediately demanded a hundred thousand. Once the matter was settled, he insisted on an additional two hundred thousand as a deposit.

Lenora bargained with him, resulting in a down payment of fifty thousand.

In this way, even if Jayden took the money and did nothing, she would only lose fifty thousand.

After all, she had never met Jayden. The contract for such an illegal act would be invalid, and the risk of being deceived was high. Yet, she had no choice but to proceed.
