Zachary’s eyes sparkled with amusement, a hint of cunning flickering beneath the surface.
Lenora shot him a glare, unwilling to entertain him further. She turned around to seek Harietta.
After spending half the afternoon soaking in the hot springs, Lenora and Harietta packed up their belongings and left.
On her way back, she passed by Daryl’s warehouse, and without realizing it, Lenora stole a glance.
The encounter between Connor and Daryl was already part of her plan.
She needed a chance to bring up Daryl in front of Connor, to finally reveal Daryl’s identity and past.
The warehouse was the perfect choice. Not only could it fulfill her objective, but it also served to expose Daryl’s financial issues.
So, she sought out a few local troublemakers to orchestrate that incident.
Now, she knew that Gaston was in Yiefmery.
Even though she had considered learning about the relationship between Richie and Gaston through Connor, and possibly uncovering some clues, there might be people who were unwilling to step forward and identify them. Moreover, she had yet to obtain anything from Connor’s end yet, and even if there were, the clues might have already been erased.
Hence, she had to prepare for all eventualities, figuring out a way to get Gaston back to his country and hand him over to the police.
Apprehending someone in a foreign land was no easy task, and it was crucial that Gaston remained
oblivious.
Lenora rubbed her forehead, and as she casually lifted her gaze, she caught sight of Zachary in the rearview mirror. Zachary was focused on the road ahead, driving with utmost concentration.
She shifted her gaze away from the rearview mirror, settling it on Zachary
From Lenora’s perspective, the sharp angles of his jawline were clearly visible. The roots of his hair at the- back of his neck had a hint of blue, appearing clean and neat. His broad shoulders filled out his suit perfectly. His large hand rested on the steering wheel, the creases outlining his strong and muscular upper
Every detail suited her taste perfectly.
If she could cast aside everything from the past and meet Zachary again, she might still fall for him
“Zachary?” In the quiet car, Lenora called out to him.
“Hmm?” Zachary glanced at Lenora through the rear–view mirror, their eyes meeting.
“I recall that Fuller Group has branches in Southeast Aploth, right?”

There might have been some high–ranking individuals from Mysonna. Although Zachary was not the CEO of the corporation, his connections remained.
“Why are you suddenly asking this?” Zachary raised an eyebrow,
Lenora almost let it slip, but after a moment’s thought, she didn’t say anything. “It’s nothing, just asking”
She wanted to ask Zachary for help, to have someone from Mysonna capture Gaston. It would be easier for locals to handle this. If she were to send someone from home, they might not be familiar with Yiefmery and could inadvertently alert the target or even violate local laws.
After some thought, she still didn’t voice it out.
She was afraid that Zachary would connect the dots and realize her ulterior motive for getting close to Connor, which in turn would embolden him to pursue her even more relentlessly.
In fact, she had collaborated with a client from Mysonna before, but they hadn’t been in touch recently. She wasn’t even sure if he was still in the country.
“Can you really come up with such a question if it’s really nothing?” Zachary questioned, skeptical. He then ventured a guess. “Are you planning on going to Southeast Aploth? Or is there something else you Want to
do??
After some thought, Lenora followed his line of thought “I’ve been considering a trip to Southeast Aploth for some cultural excursion after the New Year, but I’m worried it might be a bit chaotic over there…
“Il accompany you.”
Harietta was leaning against the window, absorbed in the view outside. At that, she turned her head and raised her little hand. “I want to go too… I want to go to school…” she whimpered.
“Don’t cry, Aunt Lenora isn’t leaving.”
“Hattie, kindergartens in our country don’t start until half a month after the New Year’s holiday,”
Harietta’s eyes lit up as a thought crossed her mind, but then they dimmed again, her small face filled with conflict.
Lenora shot Zachary a glance, patting Harietta’s shoulder, “Hattie, don’t listen to your uncle. If you want to go back, then go back. If you want to travel with me, you can come back during your summer vacation, all right?”
“Mhm.” Harietta nodded emphatically, burying her head into Lenora’s comforting embrace. “Aunt Lenora, you’re so kind. I want to sleep with you again tonight.”
Lenora wrapped her arms around her, gently patting her back.
The rear–view mirror reflected a face of warmth, gentleness, and affection, as if Harietta truly was her child.
Upon seeing it, a subtle smile couldn’t help but curve on Zachary’s lips.
By the time they returned to the downtown area of Jacaster, the sky had already darken.

Zachary pulled up in front of a certain restaurant, unbuckling his seatbelt. “Let’s have dinner first, I’ll drive you guys home afterward”
Lenora and Harietta stepped out of the car. Together, the three of them entered the restaurant and proceeded upstairs to a private dining room.
Before they ate, Lenora made a trip to the restroom.
As Lenora passed by the fire escape, she heard the sound of a conversation drifting toward her.
The woman’s voice was sweet and pleading. “Director Ladley, please, not here… We’re in a restaurant. You can have your way once we’re at the hotel tonight.
A sleazy male voice echoed. “Tonight? I simply can’t wait any longer…”
Their faint voices echoed, the woman said, “About that program…”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely give it to you. Hurry, let me take care of you…”
“Don’t..
The sound of the woman’s delicate panting echoed.
She had ran into the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry.
Lenora quietly passed by the staircase, not paying it any mind.
When she emerged from the restroom, she lifted her gaze and saw a middle–aged man strolling out of the fire exit. He was casually adjusting his collar as he walked.
Upon a closer look, Lenora recognized the middle–aged man. It was Timothy, who had once harassed her!
It seemed that he was secretly involved with the female celebrity earlier!
However, Lenora hadn’t expected that Timothy would wrap things up so quickly.
Less than five minutes had passed
As Lenora was passing by the fire exit, a woman emerged, adjusting her hairstyle as she walked.
Upon seeing Lenora, the woman’s steps faltered.
Lenora caught a glimpse of her face, a flicker of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She had never imagined that Susana would end up in such a predicament.
Without Zachary’s support, she wanted to continue in the entertainment industry, but she couldn’t escape the dark quagmire and vortex.
If she hadn’t driven Gerald to his demise back then, giyen Zachary’s nature, he would have guaranteed her a life of prosperity and wealth.
All that was happening now was a consequence of her own actions.

The moment she saw her, Lenora was instantly reminded of the late Gerald, and a wave of sorrow and anger welled up from within.
If it hadn’t been for Susanna, perhaps Gerald wouldn’t have passed away so soon. She hadn’t even gotten the chance to see him one last time.
Wait a minute–hadn’t Zachary mentioned that Susanna was at Triune Hospital?
Why was she here?
Their eyes met.
If one were to ask who Susanna least desired to encounter at be Lenora.
Yet, against all odds, they had met.
that moment, the answer would undoubtedly
In that moment, Susanna’s mind went blank for an instant. A whirlwind of emotions–discomfort, humiliation, indignation, and more–all merged into one, ultimately crystallizing into a potent resentment that was deeply seared into her heart.
In an instant, their gazes intertwined, sparks flying everywhere.
However, once Zachary discovered Lenora’s true colors, she was bound to face dire consequences!
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Susanna’s eyes. Lifting her chin, she walked past Lenora with her head. held high.
Lenora called out to her in a cold tone, questioning. “Susanna!”
“Grandpa never wronged you. Why did you have to say those words that upset him, making his illness worse and ultimately leading to his death?”
Upon hearing those words, Susanna paused, surprise flickering in her eyes. She let out an amused laugh. “1 • can’t possibly take the blame for Old Mr. Fuller’s death. It was simply his age and declining health that caught up with him!”
She had expected Lenora to confront her about the photo, but to her surprise, Lenora remained silent. Could it be that Zachary hadn’t revealed everything to Lenora?
Lenora pursed her lips, a glint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes. Without warning, she slapped Susanna across the face, her gaze icy. “This slap,” she said, “is on Behalf of Old Mr. Fuller. You should spend the rest of your life repenting in a mental institution!”
Susanna tilted her head, covering her cheek with her hand, her hair falling messily around her ears.
She lifted her head and inet Lenora’s gaze with cold determination. Suddenly, she let out a mocking laugh, a hint of challenge in her tone. “Regret?” she scoffed. “Since you brought up the mental hospital, do you really think Zachary would let me out, knowing I was the one who drove the old man to his death?”
