After having dinner at Tamara’s house and spending some time there, Zachary drove Lenora back to her hotel. He then headed straight back to Navarre that same night.
The following day, after spending the night at the hotel, Lenora went to the airport to catch her flight back to Jacaster.
Her National Day holiday journey had come to an end. Without notifying her driver, she instead contacted Miranda, asking her to take a taxi to the airport for pick–up.
Once her plane landed, Lenora met up with Miranda, and they went directly to the hospital for a prenatal check–up.
Lenora had been pregnant for over fourteen weeks now, and the ultrasound showed that the fetus was growing well. The doctor pointed out details to Miranda, who stood nearby. “This is the baby’s hand, this is the foot, and here’s the head. The eyes and nose aren’t very clear yet, but the baby seems healthy and is developing normally.”
Miranda smiled, nodding in agreement.
After the check–up, Lenora stepped out of the doctor’s office. The doctor reminded her, “During pregnancy, it’s important to be moderate in intimate activities. It’s better for the baby.”
Lenora’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she murmured a response, embarrassed by the advice.
On the way home, Miranda suggested that Lenora share the pregnancy news with Zachary, but Lenora remained silent and unmoved.
When she got home, Lenora tidied up, took a brief rest, and then made a trip to the Fuller residence to visit Gerald and Allison.
On the seventh of October, she officially returned to work.
Lenora was working in her office when she suddenly heard footsteps approaching, followed by an urgent knock on the door.
“Come in.”
Her assistant hurried in, speaking quickly. “Ms. Wilkin, there are two detectives outside, and they said—”
Before the assistant could finish, two uniformed officers entered, showing their credentials.
One of them, standing on the left, addressed her, “Are you Ms. Lenora Wilkin??
Lenora paused, setting down her work, and stood up from her desk. Yes, that’s me. May I ask what this is about?”
Your company’s secretary reported a case of confident information being leaked, the officer explained.

Remaining calm, Lenora asked, “What exactly is the nature of this alleged leak? How did it happen, and why am I considered a suspect?”
The secretary stepped forward with an apologetic smile. “Ms. Wilkin, here’s the situation–the new industrial park project in Bloudence’s new district is identical to our commercial real estate group’s project plan. Mr. Wimble suspected an internal leak and reported it to the police. According to surveillance records, on September twenty–seventh, Mr. Fuller left the company a quarter before twelve. You entered his office at a quarter past twelve and stayed until half past one…”
Lenora pressed her lips together. That day, Zachary had been attending a social event, and she had used his office lounge for a midday nap, not realizing it would entangle her in such a mess.
The detective asked, “Ms. Wilkin, can you explain why you went to Mr. Fuller’s office when he wasn’t present?”
Lenora responded confidently, “Mr. Fuller is my elder brother, and he’s always looked out for me. Before he left that day, he sent me a message letting me know I could use the lounge for a nap.”
She pulled up the chat history on her phone to show the officer.
The detective glanced at the messages. “Even so, this doesn’t rule out suspicion. Please come with us to the
station.”
At that moment, Billy Wimble, standing nearby, interjected, “Lenora, this is all still under investigation. It’s not just you who’s being questioned, so don’t worry. The police will find the truth. If you’re innocent, they’ll clear your name, but if not, the company won’t turn a blind eye.”
Lenora nodded, calm and resolute. “All right. I’ll cooperate.”
She shut down her computer, grabbed her bag, and said. “Let’s go.”
With two detectives on either side, Lenora walked out of her office.
One detective briefly spoke to Billy on their way out. “Rest assured, Mr. Wimble, we’ll expedite the investigation.”
Once they reached the police station, Lenora’s phone was confiscated, and she was led into an interrogation room.
A police officer sat across from her, reviewing surveillance footage from that day. “Ms. Wilkin, the officer began, “could you clarify why you entered the CEO’s office? Did you know Mr. Fuller wasn’t in the company?
Lenora calmly repeated, “I was aware. I went to use the lounge for a nap, and I had his permission-
Her phone was placed on the table, and the officer looked through the chat history, flipping back a few pages before asking, “What’s your relationship with M Fuller?”
“Husband and wife, Lenor answered directly

The officer gave her a long look, then stood and left the room for a moment. Lenora was left alone.
Although she had proof of her visit to Zachary’s office, there was no denying that she had been there alone for a period of time.
Until the true source of the leak was found, she remained under suspicion. But without concrete evidence of her guilt, they were obligated to release her within twenty–four hours.
Those twenty–four hours, however, felt far longer than anyone might imagine.
The room was simple, with only a table and a couple of chairs. Lenora leaned back in her chair, resting her elbow on the armrest and her head in her hand.
She wasn’t sure how long she sat like that before getting up to stretch, only to sit back down again.
The silence in the room was profound and unnerving.
Around noon, someone brought her a meal and a bottle of water. Though she had little appetite, Lenora forced herself to eat for the sake of the baby.
After eating, she slumped onto the table, hovering in that strange state between sleep and wakefulness.
When she opened her eyes again, the sun was still high, and time dragged on. The lights in the room remained on all day and night, making it hard to tell if it was day or night outside.
Lenora sat quietly in the interrogation room, her arms wrapped around her knees, chin resting atop them. She stared blankly, lost in thought.
By the early hours of the morning, exhaustion finally overtook her. Lenora dozed off, her head resting against her knees, unable to fight the sleep any longer.
In the midst of her half–sleep, she thought she heard the faint sound of the door opening.
Groggily, she lifted her head and rubbed her eyes, her voice barely above a whisper, “Can I leave now?”
A man’s voice responded, “Yes.”

Startled by the voice, Lenora looked up to see the newcomer clearly. To her surprise, it was Zachary. She blinked in disbelief, momentarily taken aback.
Zachary approached her with a slight smile. “Stunned? Don’t you recognize me?”
Lenora slowly unwrapped her arms and legs, using the table for support as she stood up. Her voice was soft as she replied, “You’re back.”
“Yes, I’m back,” he said gently, taking her cool hand in his. “Let’s go.”
As they walked toward the door, Lenora hesitated for a moment before asking, “Have things been sorted. out? Can I leave now?”
Zachary gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. “We can leave now. The rest will be handled by the lawyer.”
“Oh.”
