Chapter 330 Sugar Coated Deception

Lenora held back her tears and silently returned to the stairway entrance,

She gently wiped the corner of her eyes, took a deep breath, making sure she looked no different from before and then descended the staircase.

"Ms. Wilkin, what did Chief Lawson say?" the officer who received her asked.

With a smile. Lenora apologized, "Sorry, I just took a call, and something urgent came up. I have to leave now. As for meeting Susanna, it'll have to wait another day." "All right, take care."

Lenora settled into the car, leaning weakly against the back of the seat. Johanne's the main culprit of my father's death, and Zachary is trying to shift the blame to someone else. I must have gradually been beguiled by Zachary's sugar-

coated deception. I can't believe I cried because of him, and I shouldn't have. All along. I knew what kind of person he was, and even if he did broker a deal with Swanna for me, I shouldn't have lowered my guard. No, wait, the deception isn't conted in sugar but poppy. He Meanwhile, a car drove up from a distance and came to a halt at the entrance of the police station.

Mallory and Ryan descended one after the other, proceeding inside.

Compared to their meeting during Easter, Mallory seemed to have lost even more weight.

Lenora clenched her lists tightly.

Suddenly, Mallory turned in Lenora's direction. Instinctively, Lenora ducked her head immediately. After dozens of seconds, she finally lifted her head and saw Mallory and Ryan had already gone inside. Lenora sighed in relief.

She and her father were the victims, and so Johanne, whether as the main culprit or accomplice, deserved his imprisonment. Yet, Lenora couldn't face Mallory and Ryan.

She was fearful of witnessing the agony etched on Mallory and Ryan's faces and equally dreaded their potential pleas for her to forgive Johanne. The thought of their disappointed gazes unnerved her. However, she wouldn't let off the person responsible for her father's dea Aside from them. Lenora found it even more difficult to face Allison and didn't dare to venture to the Fuller residence,

Before Mallory and Ryan emerged, Lenora had already driven away from, the police station. She aimlessly drove around for a bit when he suddenly remembered she had a meeting with Tyler that day.

film crew to sign a contract.

As such, she drove to the film crew

Tyler's assistant handed Lenora the schedule for the upcoming week.

Due to the constraints of her role and time, Lenora's filming schedule wasn't compact. The overall schedule was primarily coordinated with the lead actors and the crew's availability, meaning she didn't

Melody's most recent scene was scheduled for the following day. Coincidentally, due to various reasons, including venue availability, the scene set for the next day was the final scene where Melody's character meets her end.

Tyler instructed Lenora, "Go home and get some rest. Come to the set early tomorrow."

Lenora took the script home and pondered over it thoroughly.

felt somewhat insecure. She went online

Even though Tyler had been constantly praising her, Lenora still in search of acting techniques to learn, making a hasty last-minute effort.

Since she had already accepted the role, she decided to do her best to avoid any future regrets.

Fortunately, the renovations upstairs had ceased, leaving no noise to disturb her. Therefore, she studied with great diligence.

Tamara took the flight at ten in the morning and boarded it punctually.

Zachary glanced at the photographic proof his subordinates had sent him and then set his phone aside.

For reasons unknown, he felt somewhat uneasy until Johanne's acting lawyer discussed the case with him.

Zachary didn't expect that in Gaston's testimony, Susanna was a complete victim. Did Johanne shift the blame, or was Gaston bribed to give a false testimony? Zachary leaned against the back of the chair, raising his hand to rub his forehead.

After going through everything from start to finish, Zachary chose to believe in Johanne.

Back then, they were the only two in the private room, Gaston was on his way to Jacaster, and it was a critical moment. There was no need for Johanne to lie.

Moreover, upon learning the truth that day, Zachary had someone investigate the matter and discovered Susanna sought Johanne after disappearing from the hospital, and they communicated over the phone. However, a decade ago, Susanna intentionally set a trap for Johanne, leaving behind evidence that was extremely incriminating against him.

Meanwhile, Gaston was handed over to the police by Ezekiel,

Ezekiel had always harbored resentment toward the Filler family. Although Zachary was unaware of the origin of that animosity, he knew Ezekiel had a motive to bribe Gaston and pin all the blame on Johanne. The eldest grandson of the Fuller family and the CEO of Fuller Group was shockingly the main culprit behind a murder case, and the victim was a well- reputed journalist. One could only imagine the kind of predicament Fuller Group would face if such news were to be reported.

Zachary assumed Ezekiel was targeting Fuller Group, so he immediately instructed Miles to oversee all the major media outlets and social media platforms.

Moreover, Zachary assumed Ezekiel had the audacity to act in such a manner presumably because the latter had erased certain evidence. As such, Zachary called Elijah and instructed him to investigate Gaston

Gaston had implicated himself in framing Johanne, either because Ezekiel had dirt on Gaston or because Ezekiel had promised him some benefits.

As for

or Johanne's lawyer, he did his best to delay the prosecution time.

After giving those instructions, Zachary found his thoughts drifting to Lenora. Does she know about Gaston's testimony? Will she misunderstand something?

He paused for a moment, picked up his phone, and dialed Lenora's number.

Lenora glanced at her phone screen, turned off the sound, and flipped it face down on the table. She chose to ignore what she had seen and heard, continuing with her performance.

Everyone had their own stance. Zachary had helped her in the past, so she was not willing to point fingers at him. However, she also did not want to act as if nothing had happened and continue her association with Zachary, After several unsuccessful attempts to reach her through phone calls, Zachary grew worried and sent someone to investigate Lenora's whereabouts.

Sometime later, his secretary informed him that Lenora was at home.

Zachary nodded in response. It's good that she's not in dancer, but why is she not picking up my call? Is the resting. or is she intentionally ignoring my callst

After giving it some thought, Zachary rose and left the office.

An unknown amount of time later, Lenora slightly furrowed her brows when she heard a knocking on the door. She picked up her phone to take a look

At that moment, she received a call and answered it insinctively

Zachary's voice immediately echoed from the speaker. "Nora, open the door. I know you're in there."

Lenora reluctantly replied, "What do you want?"

"Why didn't you answer my call?"

"I was studying and had put my phone on silent, so I didn't hear it. What's up?"

"Open the door. Let's talk face to face."

"Just say it over the phone."

Zachary paused for a moment. "You're aware of the results of Gaston's interrogation, right?"

Although it was a question, he spoke with certainty.

The difference in Lenora's attitude between yesterday and that day was so stark that it would be bizarre if Zachary didn't notice it.

"Mhm" replied Lenora.

"Nora, don't misunderstand, Johanne wasn't lying. Gaston was bribed to provide false testimony. Just wait and see. The police will uncover the truth."

"All right, is there anything else?"

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

"What would you like me to say?" Lenora responded. That I believe him and Johanne? Honestly, I do want to trust him, but..

Zachary pursed his lips. "Could you open the door?"

"I'm rather tied up at the moment. I don't have the time to entertain you. If you don't have anything important to discuss, I'll have to end this conversation now After saying that. Lenora hung up the ph Zachary stared at the cold, uninviting door in front of him, the monotonous "beep beep" sound from the phone receiver echoing in his ears. He fell silent.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door forcefully, shouting, "Nora, open the door. If you don't the door, I'll keep knocking!"

In response, Lenora stomped over to the door in frustration, flinging it open. "Zachary, what on ear you trying to do?"

Zachary's expression remained calm. "It's nothing. I was just worned you might misunderstand something. I want to let you know that everything I told you that day was all true."
