Chapter 276 Not To Be Underestimated

Miles wanted to say something, but then he held back

If I remember correctly. Ezekiel was the president of the Clusian Association when Mrs. Fuller was studying abroad. He had helped her a lot and was one been close

The few men who had to her. He could be the father of the child she once gave birth to

Perhaps his hostility toward Mr. Fuller is because he knows that Mr. Fuller is Mrs. Fuller's ex-husband?

One of the reasons Zachary returned to Fuller Group this time was because the Hoffman family had poached several key figures from Fuller Group's new energy project at a high price, causing the project to stall. For every day that was delayed, a significant loss was incurred,

The project had initially been nurtured single-handedly by Zachary, and a significant amount of resources had been invested in it. The higher-ups were unwilling to let go of their previous efforts, and so was Zachuary. Ezekiel was not to be underestimated.

Miles was just about to remind Zachary about the relationship between Ezekiel and Lenora when the elevator doors opened and Zachary strode out.

Miles could only quickly catch up.

This meal was primarily organized for the acquisition of a technology company.

Upon his return to Fuller Group, Zachary immediately proposed this plan, which was unanimously approved by the board of directors.

Zachary had just started to recover from a stomach ailment, and it wasn't advisable for him to consume alcohol. During the social engagements, Miles took his pole very seriously and made sure to prevent Zachary from drinking Eventually, he drank himself into oblivion.

Once the meal was over, Zachary had his driver take him home.

Once the effects of the alcohol had worn off, Miles had already forgotten about Ezekiel's matters.

That night, Zachary received news from his secretary. Ezekiel was dining at a certain restaurant with Harry Weber, the head of the technology company, and they seemed to be having a lively conversation

He was trying to steal him again.

With a slight raise of his eyebrows, Zachary instructed the secretary. "Arrange a meeting with Mr. Weber.

for me tomorrow.

"Yes, Mr. Fuller."

The following noon, Lenora received a call from Benedict.

"The victim said she's afraid to recall those unpleasant incidents. She doesn't wish to see you," he said with

regret

"Mr. Lawson, could you please persuade her again? Her testimony is crucial. I understand that it's like reopening old wounds for her, but I'm out of options. My dad is my only family. I have to bring the culprit to justice, Could you please help me once more?" Benedict let out a sigh. "All right, I'll try to persuade her again."

After hanging up the phone, Lenora was filled with worry.

Her worst fears had come to pass.

If the victim truly didn't wish to step forward, then the only hope rested on Jayden's ability to fulfill her assignment apprehend Gaston and bring him back to Clusia.

But lately, there hadn't been any news from Jayden, and Lenora dared not hold out too much hope.

After some thought, she sent a message to Jayden, asking him about his progress and whether he had. managed to apprehend Jayden

The next morning. Lenora received a call from Benedict.

She answered the call nervously. Upon hearing the good news from Benedict, she was so thrilled that she almost jumped for joy.

The victim had agreed to meet her, setting their rendezvous for seven o'clock that evening at a certain

restaurant.

Benedict said, "The victim isn't entirely certain about this. The opportunity is one time only. If you missed. it, she might change her mind."

"Mr. Lawson, I understand. I'll definitely be there on time. You've really gone out of your way these past. few days. Thank you!"

"No worries, I'm just doing my job."

After hanging up the phone, Lenora finally let out a sigh of relief.

The victim agreeing to meet her was a good start.

She glanced at her phone. There was no response from Jayden.

Her fifty thousand deposit was probably down the drain

At six in the evening, before heading to the restaurant, Lenora first dropped Harrietta off at the Fuller residence.

Upon reaching the parking lot, Lenora unbuckled her seatbelt and turned off the ignition. As she got o of the car, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the entrance. Susanta?

She walked into the restaurant with her bag in hand and headed straight to the second floor. She had reserved a private room.

Suddenly, she saw a figure standing at the top of the second-floor staircase. It w

Susanna was dressed to the nines, leaning against the stair railing. She wore an elegant smile, and her were fixed on Lenora as if she were waiting for her on purpose. "So, I wasn't mistaken. That really car!"

Lenora paused momentarily before continuing up the stairs. "What's

waiting for me to catch up with me?"

matter? Are you standing here

"Of course not," Susanna said with a smile, a flicker of determination flashing in her eyes. "I just wanted to give you a special gift."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she suddenly thrust out her hand, pushing with all her might.

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, Lenora missed her footing and tumbled down the stairs.

In that instant, the world seemed to spin.

By the time she regained consciousness, she had already collapsed heavily onto the ground. The pain was So intense that it made her vision go dark.

She looked up, only to replace that Susanna was already gone.

She felt varying degrees of pain throughout her body.

The most painful spot was her forehead. She gently reached up to touch it, and the pain was so intense it turned her face pale. A trace of warm scarlet liquid stained her fingers.

"Miss, are you all right?" The waiter, noticing her condition, immediately helped her up. "Please, take a seat over there. I'll fetch the first-aid kit for you. Do you need me to call an ambulance?"

The moment her right foot touched the ground, a sharp jolt of pain shot through her ankle. Lenora winced, drawing in a sharp breath. She glanced at her wristwatch. It was almost seven o'clock. "No thanks. Do you have a band-aid?"

She dared not waste time. It had been quite a challenge to schedule a meeting with the victim, and she feared that if she was late, the victim might leave.

"Sure, I'll go get it for you right away,

Lenora rummaged through her bag and pulled out a tissue, gently wiping the trace of blood from her face. She asked the waiter to affix two band-aids on her forehead. "Could you please save the surveillance footage from earlier for me? I'll come and make a copy of it once I've taken care of my own business.

After the waiter acknowledged her request, she leaned on the railing, gritting her teeth against the pain, and limped her way up to the second floor.

Susanna had already disappeared, and Lenora didn't have the time to bicker with her right now. She thought she'd wait until after meeting with the victim before calling the police.

Upon reaching the entrance of the agreed-upon private room, Lenora was already in so much pain that her forehead was covered in cold sweat, her complexion pale.

She took a deep breath, composed herself, and pushed the door open to enter.

As soon as she stepped into the room, she spotted the figure seated on the couch and her body stiffened. An expression of anger immediately washed over her face. "Susanna, what are you doing here? Get out!" Susanna leaned lazily against the back of the couch, a tall glass in her hand and a smug smile on her face. "You tell me. Don't you know who you've arranged to meet? Are you sure you want me to leave?"

Lenora gazed at her smile, a sudden thought flashing through her mind like a streak of lightning, hinting at a certain possibility.

She looked at Susanna in astonishment. "You... were the victim of the kidnapping all those years ago?"

Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. She didn't expect the victim to be Susanna.

However, in retrospect, Susanna was indeed the victim,

She had long known from Michael and Johanne about Susanna's past abduction and unbearable torment. Benedict had also mentioned that the victim was a woman who had suffered cruel torture at the hands of her captors, leaving her emotionally scarred. This information perfectly matched up.

Susanna took a sip of her red wine. "Yes, do you know why this case was kept under wraps? It's because Zack was involved. After the incident, he used the Fuller family's connections to suppress the news and even had all related web pages deleted." Tue, Nov
