Under Lenora’s persistent questioning, Jonas merely mentioned that there were a few minor conflicts during the filming process and told her not to worry. Lenora was skeptical but still tried to comfort Jonas, saying, “Don’t take those ignorant online comments to heart. Right now, the most important thing is to secure your job.”
Jonas responded, “Don’t worry.”
To be fair, his adversary’s poorly executed move gave him an opportunity to turn things around.
If the assaulted staff member hadn’t stepped forward, Jonas would have been the only one facing the public backlash.
Yet, in a bid to sway public opinion, his adversary had the audacious strategy of portraying the assaulted staff member as an innocent victim. This effectively painted Avery as the antagonist, forcing him into opposition and driving him over to Jonas‘ side.
That meant that Jonas and Avery were now on the same side.
As a major production, Cloudwater City attracted numerous investors partly because of Susanna and also due to Avery’s prestigious reputation.
The investors wouldn’t want to remove Avery’s team. Therefore, they had to support the narrative that Avery was not at fault and that Jonas had a valid reason for hitting the staff member, leading to the apology.
So, while the public outrage seemed overwhelming and Jonas was being cussed at left and right, it wouldn’t cost him the role of Zander. At most, it would affect his endorsements and public appearances in the short term.
If he performed well in Cloudwater City, advancing his career even further, then those lost endorsements and appearances would be insignificant.
After understanding all the complexities behind the situation, Lenora breathed a sigh of relief and continued with her work.
Suddenly, her phone went off.
Lenora glanced at it–it was an unfamiliar number.
That phone was strictly for work purposes, so it wasn’t unusual for clients seeking collaboration to call from numbers they had obtained elsewhere.
Lenora wasn’t surprised to see an unfamiliar number. She pressed the green button to answer. “Hello? Who’s this?”
“You’re truly despicable, b*tch. F*ck you…“,
The sudden barrage of vulgarities stunned Lenora for a few seconds before she realized she could hang
- up.
The unexpected insults left Lenora feeling somewhat bewildered and at a loss.

A bad thought crossed her mind.
Soon, another unknown number called.
However, Lenora had a hunch that this person was probably going to berate her as well.
She didn’t answer the call.
A few minutes later, she received a text message: You demned b*tch! Homewreckers deserve to die!

Following closely was a second message: Homewrecker! You’re utterly disgusting. You’re unwanted, huh? I know you were born cursed! I hope your family line ends with you. May any child you bear die on the spot!
More and more calls and messages started pouring in.
Lenora held her breath, certain that her phone number had been leaked.
She opened her WhatsApp. It was filled with messages as well.
The messages were all filled with offensive and vulgar language, unbearable to read.
Lenora took a deep breath to calm herself down. First, she changed the privacy settings to be visible only to her contacts. Then, she posted a status update: This number is now inactive. Please contact my assistant at 12345678910 if needed.
Following that, she sent the same message to everyone in her contact list via text message and
immediately turned off her phone.
Lenora called her assistant, Milly, and gave her some instructions.
After Milly left, Lenora checked her other social media accounts. As expected, they were all overrun with insults and attacks coming at her from all sides.
Fortunately, her private number hadn’t been exposed, nor had her alternate Twitter account.
With a pale face, Lenora leaned back in her chair, closing her eyes.
All she wanted was a calm and stable life, but why was it so hard to achieve?
Was it because she had once loved Zachary that she now deserved to be treated like this, hated by everyone?
It felt like her very existence was a sin.
Had she truly done something wrong?
A knock sounded from outside the door.
Lenora opened her eyes and sat up straight. “Come in.”
“Ms. Wilkin, these are the necessary documents for the meeting. Please review them.”
That was when Lenora remembered that she had a meeting with the executives at ten o’clock, where she was required to present a report.

Lenora closed her eyes briefly, then picked up the documents, forcing herself to gather the energy to prepare for the presentation.
“Mr. Fuller, we have a problem.” Miles rushed into the office, urgency in his voice. “Ms. Wilkin’s phone number and all her social media accounts have been exposed!”
Zachary’s expression turned icy when he heard Miles, and he immediately stood up.
“Rest assured, Mr. Fuller. Ms. Wilkin has already stopped using that phone number.”
“Track the IP addresses, preserve all evidence, and report this to the police immediately!” Zachary’s eyes were filled with a sharp intensity as he spoke each word clearly. Some matters could be handled privately, but others needed to be brought to light to serve as a deterrent.
Since some people weren’t afraid of pushing the limits, he would make sure they paid the price!
“Yes, I’ll get on it right away.”
Just as Zachary was about to
step out, the sudden ring of his phone echoed.
He picked up the phone from the table and answered the call.
“Mr. Fuller, there’s news.”
From the other end of the call, the voice of a young man could be heard.
“Go on.”
“Gregory is a distant relative of Mr. Wimble. He is usually idle, but recently, he and Gavin Wimble seemed to have suddenly become quite close.”
Gavin was Billy’s son and Lola’s cousin.
Zachary furrowed his brows deeply.
“Do you have evidence of their dealings?”
“It’s already been sent to your email.”
“Gavin is probably acting under Lola’s instigation. You should investigate them both further.”
“Understood.”
After hanging up, Zachary slammed his phone on the table with a loud bang and closed his eyes.
This matter was actually connected to Lola!
He had initially thought that Lola drugging him was the height of her audacity.
The news leak this time was even more unbelievable!
He was the one who transferred Lola to the branch company.

But both times, the person Lola targeted was Lenora.
All of this simply stemmed from her jealousy toward Lenora!
To Zachary, this jealousy was just utterly baffling.

When Lola first joined the company, she had been of great assistance to him, and as a form of gratitude, he valued her. Behind the scenes, he maintained a relationship with her that was neither too close nor too distant, more like that of ordinary friends.
Had it not been for this incident, Zachary would have never imagined that Lola’s affection for him had grown to a point of near madness.
He couldn’t help but recall the first time he and Susanna were exposed by the media. Lola had reported the incident to him in the office, asking for public relations guidance. She had casually mentioned that several of the paid social media accounts that leaked the news had previously collaborated with MQ on promotional campaigns. At that point, he had assumed that Lenora was behind it all. In a fit of anger, he made the wrong decision, which now left him caught between a rock and a hard place.
There was also that time when Lenora said Lola liked him. He didn’t believe her and trusted Lola instead.
At this point, he had no choice but to admit he was wrong.
He shouldn’t have doubted Lenora.
Zachary settled back into his seat and opened his email.
It was ten in the morning.
The attendees gradually filed into the conference room.
Lenora sat in the corner with an open folder in front of her, her face still a bit pale.
Once everyone had arrived, Zachary took his seat at the head of the table. Miles then announced the commencement of the meeting.
After the other department heads had given their reports, it was Lenora’s turn.
She took a deep breath, stood up, and walked over to the projection screen. As usual, she confidently presented MQ’s achievements for the season, as well as the theme, design, and progress for the next phase. She spoke eloquently and calmly.
“This is the end of my presentation. Thank you.” Lenora switched off the projector and bowed toward the executives on both sides.
The executives turned their attention to Zachary.
“Mr. Fuller.” Miles leaned in to snap Zachary out of it in a whisper.
This was the first time he had seen Zachary space out during a meeting.
Zachary snapped back to reality, flipping through the file in his hands before turning to the others. “Does anyone have any comments?”
