Tamara stepped out of the jewelry store, catching a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye.
When she turned to look, the figure had already vanished from the doorway not too far off.
Tamara glanced up at the sign hanging above the entrance, it was a bar.
Did Lenora go to that bar?
She took a few steps forward, surveying her surroundings, and sure enough, she spotted Lenora’s car.
Tamara’s eyes flashed as she pulled out her mobile phone and dialed a number.
During the day, the bar was largely deserted.
Several staff members were bustling in and out, carrying boxes. They were busy stocking up on supplies.
The bartender was also busy replenishing the cocktail ingredients on the counter.
Lengra ordered a few bottles of wine and casually selected a seat to settle into. She uncorked a bottle and poured herself a glass of wine, which she promptly tilted back and downed.
The bitter yet spicy liquid slid down her throat, causing her delicate brows to furrow slightly. The suppression and pain in her heart were not diluted in the slightest.
Lenora poured herself a few more drinks.
The image of her father appeared before her eyes, both familiar and distant. Uncontrollably, her eyes filled with bittersweet tears.
At last, she was able to seek justice for her father.
But the truth was nothing like she had imagined.
The towering figure of her father did not perish due to the encirclement of capital, but rather, he was innocently entangled in a conspiracy that had nothing to do with him. He fell victim to the power struggle within the Fuller family, to Susanna’s ambition, to a staged kidnapping, and to the very “victim” he had extended his hand to help.
Lenora would have preferred if his father had been taken by some unscrupulous capitalist, rather than his life just fading away to nothing.
She just couldn’t find peace in her heart.
Lenora picked up her wine glass, downing several drinks one after the other.
Lenora’s gaze wavered, as if Zachary’s shadow loomed before her.
She gripped her wine glass, frowning. With a swift wave, she dismissed the shadows–yet she couldn’t shake him from her mind.
He was supposed to be quite sharp, wasn’t he? So how could he not see through Susanna’s lies?

How could someone like him be deceived by Susanna for years?
Lenora found it pitiful, tragic, yet amusing.

Chairman Zachary of Fuller Group, esteemed for his sharp insight, had actually been led in circles. If word of this got out, it would be nothing short of hilariously shocking
Unsure of how much she had drunk, warmth spread across her cheeks, tinging them a soft pink. Her gaze was hazy and unfocused.
She rarely drank to the point of intoxication, but perhaps today, she sought oblivion in alcohol. Her consciousness quickly began to blur.
Three young men entered through the door, casting their gaze around the bar. The place was eerily vacant, their eyes quickly landing on the spot where Lenora was seated.
The trio exchanged glances before heading directly toward the direction of Lenora.
“Hey gorgeous, why are you drinking alone?” The buzz–cut man took a seat across from Lenora in the booth, a glimmer of astonishment flashing in his eyes as he looked at the slightly tipsy Lenora.
Additionally, two men were positioned around Lenora; one was seated to her right, while the other stood -to her left.
Lenora’s reaction lagged a beat. She slowly set down her wine glass, her gaze sweeping over the three people before her, a slight frown creasingher brow. “I’m sorry, but I’d like some solitude for a while. Could you please not disturb me?” she asked.
Encountering such a situation even in broad daylight, how annoying!
So annoying!
“Hey, if there’s anything bothering you, just tell us, we’re here to help, right?” The man said, glancing at his two companions.
The other two men chimed in agreement.
“No need, please leave,” Lenora said, rubbing her forehead.
“What if we don’t leave?” the man suggested, his tone teasingly defiant.
Lenora paused for a moment, steadying herself on the back of the sofa as she wobbled to her feet, intending to leave.
The man on the left blocked her path. “Where are you off to, gorgeous? Let me accompany you.”
“Bill, please.”
“What’s the rush to settle the bill? Stay a bit longer.
Lenora was getting impatient, she raised his voice and called out, “Waiter.”
Two attendants had just finished moving boxes, emerging from the warehous

Observing the situation, one of the waiters stepped forward, scrutinizing the three men for a moment. “Ma’am, what’s the matter?”
“I wanted to settle the bill, but they wouldn’t let me leave.”
The waiter said, “Gentlemen, could you perhaps make some room? Let’s not make things difficult for others…
“Beat it, this isn’t your business!” The buzz–cut man turned around, immediately cutting off the waiter’s words with a fierce warning
“Buddy, take a chill pill…”
“Who said we’re buddies?” the buzz–cut man retorted, “If you know what’s good for you, stop meddling in things that don’t concern you!”
“Sir, if you continue to behave this way, you’re not welcome here,” warned the waiter.
The buzz–cut man raised an eyebrow, took a step forward, and arrogantly challenged, “What’s the matter? You dare to try and kick me out?”
an on the left couldn’t help but step forward, pointing at the waiter and demanded, “What’s with
attitude toward Tyron? Bring your manager out here now!”
The man on the right also said, “You’re new here, aren’t you? Have no idea who Tyron is, do you?”
Another waiter stepped in to diffuse the situation.
The bald man and his companion were relentless.
Upon noticing that they had unintentionally made way, Lenora immediately took the opportunity to leave.
Having only taken a couple of steps, the buzz–cut man spun around, abruptly seizing Lenora’s wrist. “Hey, gorgeous, don’t rush off just yet!”
“Let go!” Lenora struggled with all her might, but she just couldn’t break free.
Under the influence of alcohol, her tone carried no intimidation.
“Have a few drinks with me, and I’ll let go.”
“Keep on dreaming!
The man with the buzz cut’s smile vanished from his face. “Some people just don’t appreciate kindness!”
He gave a strong tug.
A wave of dizziness washed over Lenora, leaving her head spinning. She glanced around, realizing she had somehow ended up back in the booth.
The man swiftly poured a glass of wine and assertively placed it in front of Lenora. “Drink it!”
Lenora lifted her gaze to the man, her lips pressed tightly together. She remained silent, refraining fro

drinking the wine.
The atmosphere instantly grew tense..
“What happened?”
Suddenly, a voice echoed from not too far away.
Everyone simultaneously turned to look in the direction of the sound.
The buzz–cut man raised an eyebrow. “Who are you?”
Lenora was momentarily stunned, her eyes lighting up. “Zachary!”
Her disdain for Zachary vanished in an instant, and she felt a surge of relief at his timely arrival.
The buzz–cut man eyed the newcomer, sizing him up with a look that quickly shifted to a sycophantic grin. “Chairman Zachary of Fuller Group? It’s an honor to meet you here,” he said with a nervous smile
The man didn’t bother to confirm his identity; instead, he fixed the man with an icy stare and demanded. “Well, aren’t you going to scram?
The man with the buzz cut’s expression shifted, wanting to retort but holding back. “Fine, I’ll leave right now. Do as you please, Mr. Fuller,” he said.
Upon leaving the bar, the buzz–cut man’s companion asked curiously, Tyron, was that really Zachary?
“Looks like it was him,” Tyron said.
“I also thought he seemed somewhat similar, but not quite,” the companion commented. There appears to have a slight discrepancy with what was reported in the news.”
The news must have been doctored, Tyron stated. “The woman is his ex–wife, Lenora. Who else could the man be if not Zachary?”
“Who cares who they are? As long as we got the money, that’s all that matters.”
As the trio departed, and Lenora breathed a sigh of relief. With a squinted smile, she said, “Zachary, thank goodness you showed up… I’ll forgive you, but just for a few minutes.”
The man approached, settling across from Lenora with a serious expression. He gazed at her intently “Who am I?”
Lenora paused for a moment, blinked, and said, “Zachary, have you lost your mind?”
Ezekiel kept quiet at that.
It was evident that she was drunk, which was why she mistook him for Zachary
Ezekiel lowered his gaze, a shadow of darkness flickering in the depths of his
eyes.
