Stay Away 273
Chapter 273 Provide Some Peace
Lenora softly hummed in acknowledgement.
Zachary was determined to make Harrietta stay.
She cast her gaze down at Harrietta, who was diligently unwrapping her gifts on the couch.
"What did Uncle Zachary give you?".
Harrietta replied, "He gave me a monetary gift of ten thousand. Wait, I'm still counting"
"Wow, so you're quite the little rich girl now, huh?"
Harrietta threw her head back and let out a hearty laugh.
After she finished counting, Lenora suggested, "Shall we put away the gifts and have breakfast?"
"No." Harrietta tenderly gathered the gifts in her arms.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps echoed from the staircase.
Lenora lifted her gaze, locking eyes squarely with Tamara.
She greeted with a faint smile. "Aunt TamaraTM
Tamara snorted coldly and walked down.
Harrietta looked up nervously, "Grandma."
"Hattie, come here. Tamara gently said, settling down on the couch across the room.
Harrietta hesitated for a moment.
Tamara took out a gift and gestured toward Harrietta. "I have a New Year's gift for you."

Harrietta approached Tamara and said in a childish tone, "Thank you, Grandma. Happy New Year. I hope the new year brings you health and happiness."
"You're such a good girl." Tamara pulled Harrietta into her arms. "Hattic, I owe you an apology. I didn't
handle my emotions well last night and I hurt you. Can you forgive me? We you an apology. I didn't
Harrietta pursed her lips slightly, "Grandma, I'm not mad at you."
"What a good child." Tamara chuckled, glancing at Zachary as if she had won a battle.
She knew that Harrietta, whom she had raised since she was a child, couldn't possibly part ways with her so easily.
"I understand that you haven't had enough fun yet, but kindergarten is about to start. I'll take a leave for you, but once you're back from the cultural excursion, you have to return with me, all right?" She made a concession, agreeing to let Harrietta and Lenora go on their cultural excursion, but she was.

Harrietta glanced at Tamara, then at Zachary and Lenora, but said nothing.
Zachary quirked an eyebrow. "We'll talk about it later. Let's eat first."
Harrietta's passport was in his possession.
In the afternoon, Lenora made a trip to the police station.
She was received by a young police officer. After understanding her concerns, he assisted her by reaching out to his superiors.
The car accident back then that led to Fernando's death had drawn a lot of attention. The case was overseen by a deputy chief from a certain police station. That deputy chief, Benedict Lawson, was now a chief.
Benedict and his associates had once counseled Lenora, soothing her emotions.
After they met, Lenora brought up the past, expressing her gratitude toward Benedict and bridging the gap between them.
Subsequently, she brought up the kidnapping incident that occurred a few days before Fernando's car accident. She presented the incomplete manuscript left by Fernando and that particular photograph. along with Connor's recorded conversation. She also mentioned the relationship between Daryl and Richie.
Benedict listened to the recording with a solemn expression before turning to Lenora. "The victim of that kidnapping case years ago suffered severe and brutal torment. By the time we arrived, the kidnappers had already fled. Apart from the wanted Gaston and his accomplice, we had a few other suspects. Richie was one of them. However, he managed to escape quickly and without any solid evidence, we had to end our pursuit. The leads you provided are crucial, Ms. Wilkin. I'll have my team follow these leads immediately and do everything in our power to apprehend the kidnappers and bring them to justice. This way, we can provide some peace to the late Mr. Wilkin."
"Thank you."
After stepping out of the police station, Lenora let out a long sigh of relief.
Given that the police had already harbored suspicions toward Richie, things should likely proceed more smoothly.
When driving past a certain shopping mall, Lenora noticed a large inflatable arch at the entrance, covered with a red carpet, as if a New Year event was taking place. Since she had nothing else to do at the moment, she decided to park her car and stroll around the mall. It was the New Year. The shopping mall was far from deserted.
Lenora emerged from the fitting room with the clothes in her hands. Turning to the shop assistant, she said, "Wrap these up for me, please, and also the two pieces I tried on carlier."
"All right, follow me this way, please." With a delighted smile, the shop assistant accepted the clothes and walked toward the cash register.

As Lenora walked over, she caught sight of two individuals entering from the door.
Stanley also saw her and walked over with the person beside him.
With a smile, Lenora called out, "Stanley, what a coincidence.
"Yeah, just you alone?" Stanley glanced behind Lenora He thought Zachary would be with her.

"Yeah" Lenora glanced at the young woman beside hing, who was also looking at her. "Stanley, aren't you going to introduce us?"
Stanley turned his gaze to the person next to him and said. "This is my girlfriend, Mindy Schmidt, Mindy, this is my sister, Lenora Wilkin."
"Ms. Wilkin, hello," Mindy said with a smile.
"Hello" Lenora looked at Mindy, feeling a sense of familiarity. "Ms. Schmidt, have we met before?"
Mindy absentmindedly ran her fingers over her purse strap. "We have, at the hot springs resort. My cousin greeted you at the restaurant. I was right there."
Lenora wore a look of understanding. "So Madison Schmidt is your cousin. How's she doing?"
Lenora felt a pang of guilt because of what Zachary had done.
Mindy tightened her grip on her purse, subtly glancing at Stanley. "She's doing quite well. It seems my uncle has secured a kidney donor. He's scheduled for surgery soon. She's been quite cheerful lately." "Oh, that's good to hear. Which hospital is your uncle in? I'll drop by when I have some time.
Mindy gave the name of the hospital.
At that moment, the shop assistant approached. "Miss, your clothes have been wrapped up....
"All right" Lenora looked at Stanley and Mindy. "You two continue shopping. I'll take my leave now."
"Bye."
Lenora paid at the cashier and with a paper bag in hand, she headed to the supermarket located on the basement level. After purchasing some gifts, she drove toward the hospital where Madison's father was admitted. Madison was in the ward, taking care of him.
Lenora knocked and entered, which left Madison utterly surprised. However, in front of her father, she didn't show any reaction, simply stating that Lenora was her friend.
Lenora observed her facial expression. Madison indeed seemed all right, not overly distressed or worn
out
Madison's father was very polite and kind toward Lenora.
After Lenora exchanged a few pleasantries with them. Madison saw her out.

"Sorry to intrude," Lenora said in a low voice as she walked forward. "I ran into my brother and your cousin at the mall and learned about your father's hospital, so I thought I'd drop by."
"I know you're here because of that incident, Ms. Wilkin... I've said I won't call the police, and I mean it. You can rest assured, there's no need for you to come here again in the future, Madison stated.
She felt a pang of sympathy for Lenora. Her ex-husband had ruined her relationship, and even now, still thought Madison was the victim.
Though she had indeed been bitten by some unknown scoundrel, she had gained far more in return.

Apart from fulfilling his financial obligations as stated in the contract, Zachary went above and beyond. He arranged for a better hospital room for her father and even found a kidney donor. It was an unexpected blessing- She had no reason to be upset.
"Okay"
Lenora returned to the loft.
In the evening, she received a message from Zachary. He was going to bring Harrietta over.
It wasn't long before the doorbell rang from outside.
Lenora assumed it was Zachary who had arrived, so she got up to open the door, only to replace that there was nobody outside.
She glanced around in confusion. Just as she was about to close the door, her eyes inadvertently caught sight of a piece of paper discarded on the ground.
She bent down to pick it up, her body drenched in a cold sweat.
A terrifying ghostly face was drawn on the paper, marked with red traces that resembled blood.
It was identical to the death threat Gordon had sent her
