Chapter 343 Taking Her Place

As Lenora got into the car, she leaned back in her seat to rest.

She was in a particularly bad mood that day, and it wasn't just because of Donovan and his mother, but

also Susanna.

Susanna was indeed pitiful for suffering from mental and psychological illnesses, yet Lenora found it impossible to muster any sympathy for her.

The mere thought of Susanna possibly evading legal punishment stirred relentless agitation in her heart.

She felt a lump of anger in her chest that she couldn't get rid of

Ding!

The notification sound from WhatsApp chimed.

Snapping out of her annoyance, Lenora picked up her phone and glanced at it.

It was a message from Fiona.

She reminded Lenora that the results of the Smada International Photography Competition were announced that day, asking if she had checked the results yet.

Only then did Lenora remember to go to the official website to check the results.

However, her inbox remained silent. Lenora figured she probably didn't win anything, otherwise, there would have been a notification.

That's okay. It's the participation that counts.

Perhaps it was because she had previously taken an unconventional path, spending less time on formal education, she found herself facing a barrier when compared to professional photographers. Wanting to learn, Lenora meticulously went through each award-winning piece. She diligently analyzed their highlights, seeking to identify her shortcomings.

When she opened the first-prize-winning piece, she was taken aback.

She scrolled to the top of the page to check the name of the winner, then scrolled back down to examine each piece of work. After several back and forths, she finally confirmed a fact Her work had won first prize, but she was not the one who received the award.

Someone had usurped her achievement, taking her place. This kind of situation was all too common in many circles, especially within academia. Lenora never expected to experience it herself, This only deepened Lenora's already gloomy mood, exacerbating her irritation and anger.

At that moment, the rear car door was pulled open.

Zachary first settled Harrietta next to Lenora, then took a seat himself, closing the door behind him.

"Aunt Lenora, we're back," Harrietta chirped.

Lenora took a deep breath, put away her phone, and turned to them. "Well? Did he apologize? Harrietta nodded, casting an admiring glance at Zachary. "Yes. Unele Zachary's so impressive," Zachary chuckled as he affectionately ruffled Harrietta's hair, stealing a glance at Lenora. Their eyes met, but Lenora quickly looked away, pursing her lips. "What about me?"

"Aunt Lenora, you're amazing, too. You're the best," Harrietta hurriedly said.

"Hmph. You cheeky girl."

Harrietta chuckled softly.

"Mr. Fuller, where shall we head now?" the driver asked as he steered the car out of the hospital.

Zachary glanced at the two beside him before mentioning the name of a restaurant.

Lenora asked curiously, "Who are this mother and son? They seemed unfazed upon hearing your name." Zachary glanced at Lenora and hesitated to speak.

To Lenora, Jasmine was now nothing more than a stranger. Do I really need to remind her?

Harrietta replied, "The little boy is named Donovan. Uncle Zachary calls his mother 'Mrs. Hoffman."

Lenora raised an eyebrow.

While Eenora didn't frequently engage with people in high society, she had a fair understanding of it. In the upper echelons of Jacaster's political and business circles, no one bore the surname Hoffman. The accents of those men who took them to the hospital suggested they were from Jeahron.

Indeed, there were nobles in Jeahron with the surname Hoffman-Ezekiel Hoffman being a prime example.

Ezekiel Hoffman, Donovan Hoffman... What a coincidence.

"Could they possibly be related to Ezekiel?"

Zachary's face fell when he heard the name Ezekiel, and he nodded without a word.

Unaware of the change in his emotions, Lenora speculated, "Is Donovan the younger brother of Ezekiel?

Zachary wore a grim expression, "They share the same father, but have different mothers. Donovan's mother is Ezekiel's stepmother."

"So that's how it is," Lenora said, looking at him with concern. "Will this cause trouble for you?"

Zachary was pleased with how much she cared for him

He flashed her a faint smile. "Don't worry."

Even without this incident, Ezekiel would not give up on opposing the Fuller family.

Therefore, there was no need for him to show the Hoffman family any mercy. "Good

Harrietta started nodding off in the private room of the restaurant halfway through dinner, eventually. falling asleep in Zachary's amis.

Lenora barely ate anything before setting down her fork.

Seeing that, Zachary quietly asked, "Is that all you're going to cat?"

"I'm not hungry."

"Are you feeling down?"

Lenora responded with silence.

"I'm already aware of Susanna's situation. Her medical report was a fabrication," Zachary said.

Lenora had never doubted that because she had placed Susanna in the position of the kidnap victim. believing that Johanne was the real culprit behind the scenes.

Zachary, on the other hand, trusted Johanne, firmly believing that the kidnapping incident was a charade orchestrated by Susanna herself.

The kidnapping case was a sham, and naturally, the medical report was also a fabrication.

As he spoke, Zachary paused for a moment, lifting his gaze to meet Lenora's eyes.

Previously, he had wholeheartedly believed the medical report to be real.

Time and again, he found his heart softening for Susanna, only to hurt Lenora in the process.

Lenora raised an eyebrow, her eyes lighting up. "It was fake? What do you mean?"

"Didn't I tell you before? The kidnapping case was a hoax, so naturally, her emotional trauma was also fabricated."

"Oh..." The light in Lenora's eyes dimmed once again.

So, it's because of that. But was the kidnapping case really a hoax?

She reminisced about the words Tamara had spoken that day at the police station.

In truth, she still harbored some doubts about Zachary helping Johanne to evade blame.

But she dared not show it-fearing that Zachary might once again lose it.

After catching a glimpse of Lenora's doubtful expression, Zachary knew that Lenora still harbored uncertainties about the matter. He simply said, "Don't worry. You can apply for a medical assessment."

His persistence didn't stem from a desire to force Lendra into trusting, Johanne; rather, he simply want

to ensure that the wouldn't distance herself from him.

After all, Lenora was the one most deeply affected by her father's death, and she was the one who longed to uncover the truth the most. Truth would always remain truth, while falsehoods would eventually be exposed. Sooner or later, the day would come when everything would be revealed.

"Mm-hmm." Lenora nodded.

Although she didn't quite believe it, she felt she had to give it a shot. Who knows, it might just work out.

"Come on, eat more," Zachary suggested, serving her some food.

Lenora took a few more bites and set down her fork.

Zachary didn't insist that she eat more. Instead, he picked up Harrietta and stood up. "Let's go, I'll take you home"

Harrietta resting her head on Zachary's shoulder, grunted in her sleep. Her tiny leather shoes kicked against the hem of his suit, smearing it with a bit of din

hary lowered his gaze, gently patting Harrietta's shoulder, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Lenora raised an eyebrow, stealing another glance at Zachary.

When he cared for Harrietta, he radiated a distinct aura that could only be described as paternal.

"If you want to look at me, just look. No need to be sneaky about it," Zachary said earnestly as he walked ahead.

Lenora was at a loss for words.

The flicker of affection she had begun to feel for him extinguished once more.

"Don't speak," she said.

It's a shame he can't keep his mouth shut.

The driver maneuvered the car directly into the underground parking garage.

After Lenora got out of the car, Zachary also stepped out, cradling Harrietta in his arms.

She looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Zachary explained with a smile, "I've been planning to move here with Hattie these few days along with Miranda.

Lenora's lips twitched. "Why?"

"Hattie likes you. If we stay here, she can spend more time with you. It also makes it more convenient for you to pick her up and drop her off at school." "What a self-righteous reason." Lenora sneered.
