Therefore, although it appeared that he forced Lenora to break up on New Year's Eve, in reality, Lenora merely went along with the flow.

She clearly wanted to break up with Connor, yet she put on a facade of not wanting to end things, just to provoke him.

She had grown bolder after their divorce.

Zachary removed his earphones, casually tossing them into the glove compartment.

The flame within was burning brighter and brighter, nearly impossible to contain.

In his mind, he was clamoring to turn back, to seck out Lenora and settle the score. He wanted to pin her down on the bed until she cried, and see if she still dared to provoke him!

The last sired of his sanity made him suppress that thought.

During a brief pause at a traffic light, Zachary reached into his pocket, pulling out a cigarette box and a lighter. He placed a cigarette between his teeth, ready to ignite it, but then he thought of Harrietta back seat and put the lighter back in his pocket. The traffic light turned green, and Zachary stepped on the gas.

By the time he reached Galaxy Bay, the cigarette filter had been chewed beyond recognition.

After dropping Harrietta off at home, Zachary turned the car around and headed toward the company.

Just then, his phone rang

He glanced at the phone beside him, freeing a hand to answer the call. "Hello?"

Right off the bat, Tamara asked, "Zack, did you register Hattie into the family registry?"

A flicker of irritation flashed in Zachary's eyes. He had no desire to speak, unwilling to argue with Tamara.

Tamara exploded, "Y-You've really lost your mind! What on earth has Lenora fed you to make you give up on your child? If Hattie was a boy, that would be one thing, but she's a girl..."

"Aunt Tamara, I know exactly what I was doing. From now on, I will be Hattie's guardian. You're welcome to visit her whenever you miss her, but as for anything else, please refrain from interfering."

Zachary stared straight ahead, watching the flow of traffic in front of him. His tone was resolute as he said, "You can say certain things in front of me, but please refrain from saying them in front of Hattie. It would upset her." ""You're really going to be the death of me!"

"I didn't mean to do that"

Chapter 291 Only You Know Your Own Joys And Sorrow

"Do you know why I've always been against her being with you? I'm going to tell you the truth, Lenora has had a child with another man! When she was studying abroad and I was on a business trip in Fairlake. I saw her in a bar, all over a bunch of guys. The next time I saw her, she was pregnant and quickly hid from me, afraid that I'd discover what she'd been up to overseas! Normally, I wouldn't interfere in her affairs, but your grandfather insisted on binding you two together! Zack, think about it, how was I toward her before all this? A woman like her is simply not good enough for you!"

Before they got married. Tainara was quite aloof, treating Lenora as if she were practically invisible.

Although they weren't close, they never spoke ill of each other.

After Gerald announced their marriage, Tamara's attitude toward Lenora took a drastic turn for the worse. It was indeed as she had said, a disservice to her nephe

Zachary lowered his gaze.

He had researched Lenora's history abroad and knew that Tamara's words were embellished, a mix of truth and fiction.

Perhaps, Tamara really had encountered Lenora when she was pregnant, so.....

Zachary narrowed his eyes, his voice deepening as he asked, "Were you the one who gave Susanna the photo?"

There was a sudden silence on the line for a few seconds.

Tamara didn't expect that Zachary would suddenly think of this.

She admitted, "Yes, I ga to wake up to reality!"

it to her! I wanted you to see what kind of person Lenora really is! I wanted you

Unexpectedly, Zachary was able to accept the fact that Lenora had once given birth without any reservations!

Tamara had originally planned to use Susanna's influence to publicly expose the photograph, intending to ruin Lenora's reputation.

She couldn't be the one to take this action, otherwise, it would only harm the bond she shared with Zachary,

She simply hadn't expected for Susanna to be so incompetent, allowing Zachary to effortlessly trick her into giving away the photo.

"I'll act like this never happened. Marriage is personal-only those in it know what it's really like. So please, Aunt Tamara, stop interfering in the name of 'doing what's best for me when it only harms my marriage," Zachary warned.

Seeing her words fall on deaf ears, Tamara was so frustrated she nearly choked on her own irritation.

She wasn't keen on having their conversations constantly fraught with tension when she spoke with Zachary. So, she took the initiative to change the subject. "Never mind, do as you wish. By the way. I heard from other shareholders that there's been some friction with the Hoffman family in business matters recently. Did the Hoffman family snatch up several of our company's projects?"

Reflecting on post events from her youth. Tamara could roughly guess why Ezekiel had targeted the key family after gaining power. A complex emotion flicker in her eyes "Yes,"

"I've heard that the current head of the Hoffman family is Ezekiel. Have you met him?" Tamara atked tentatively

"Do you know him!

"I've heard of him"

"I've encountered him twice, Zachary said. "However, he was unwilling to say much, and it's still unclear why he has an issue with the Fuller family"

"Ezekiel used to live abroad, and he was close with Lenora during their study years. I think perhaps it's because of Lenora Tamara hinted.

"That's impossible, Zachary dismissed her guess.

Miles had once speculated that it might be because of Denora, but Zachary felt otherwise intuitively.

Ezekiel had been particularly fond of Lenora, he wouldn't have lost all contact with her over the years, let alone suddenly cause trouble for a well-matched corporation on her behalf.

However, Tamara's words sparked doubt in Zachary's mind. It seemed like she knew a lot about Lenora's life overseas,

Tamara spoke again. "Ezekiel was not previously working in the company. Now that he has suddenly returned to the country to take charge, there must be people within the Hoffman family who are skeptical. He is arrambitious man, seeking to divert the internal conflicts outward to prove his own strength. He will surely target Fuller Group next, so be careful."

Ezekiel truly took after his mother, Luna. He was deeply cunning, always coveting things that didn't belong to him.

Zachary neither confirmed nor denied. "All right, I've got it

With that, he ended the call.

Upon recalling Tamara's words from earlier, Zachary felt that things weren't quite as they seemed. Fuller Group wasn't really a match for Ezekiel to showcase his authority, and Ezekiel was well aware of it

So why on earth did Ezekiel do it?

Damaging the enemy while hurting oneself in the process, those projects that were suitable for Fuller Group may not necessarily be suitable for the Hoffman family. If the Hoffman family undertook them, they might not only fail to reap the expected benefits, but they might also risk sinking their funds into it, leaving them in a difficult position with no easy way out.

Upon returning to his company. Zachary was immediately informed by Miles that Ezekiel had aggressively bought up shares of Oasis Technology, beating Fuller Group to the punch,

As Zachary had anticipated, he said, "Keep watching, stir the pot

Perhaps Ezekiel was still basking in the joy of having seized Fuller Group's project at the moment. What awaited him afterward would gradually unfold.

After Miles left, Zachary turned on his computer. As he gazed at the brand new monitor before him, he inevitably thought of Lenora. A surge of anger began to rise within him.

After struggling to focus for a while, Zachary picked up his phone and made a call.

At eight in the evening. Zachary punctually arrived at the club's lobby. He took the elevator up and soon found himself standing in front of a private room. Pushing the door open, he stepped inside.

The room was devoid of people. Zachary casually closed the door behind him, settled down on the sofa and lit up a cigarette with a lighter he pulled out.

Roughly ten minutes later. Susanna pushed open the door to enter. Immediately, her gaze fell on Zachary who was leaning against the back of the sofa, his elbow resting on the armrest, a cigarette pinched between his slender fingers.

He gently parted his lips, a wisp of smoke curling from them, reminiscent of swallowing clouds and exhaling fog.

Susanna's gaze swept over the cigarette butts in the ashtray, her eyes slightly narrowed, a shadow passing across their depths.

He had actually started smoking.

Settling into the seat across from Zachary, she feigned ignorance and asked. "Zack, what did you want to see me about?TM 13:01 Wed, Nov 13
