Zachary remained silent.
Lenora was also standing around the corner instead of leaving.
Outside, there was a loud “bang,” and the sound of sobbing was cut off by the car door.
Lenora’s hands tightened subtly in the breeze as she glanced sideways outward. The black Cayenne had just driven out of the underground garage.
Lenora glanced at her phone screen and sighed, a sense of resolution settling in her heart.
She had anticipated early on that Zachary would make concessions to Susanna.
She held no expectations for Zachary, so she didn’t feel disappointed. Instead, she felt a sense of loss, melancholy, and “Just as I thought.”
She loved him, yet she dared not hold any more expectations of him.
Lenora took the elevator back down to the first floor, then stepped outside to hail a taxi home.
On the way back, Zachary texted her: I’m sorry, Lenora, I had to leave early due to some matters.
Lenora responded: Okay. I’ll take a taxi home.
Zachary: Wait for me at home. We’ll have dinner together tonight.
Lenora: Okay.
As she replied, she didn’t care because she remembered that Zachary was always out for the entire night. when he was called away by Susanna.
It would truly be a miracle if he did return by dinner.
It would indicate that Susanna’s skills had not improved but rather had declined.
After several busy days, Lenora felt somewhat exhausted. Upon returning home, she first headed upstairs. to soak in a bath.
While she was soaking in the bathr, she scrolled through her phone, browsing Twitter and other platforms. Quite a few people were discussing the press conference.

Eager netizens uncovered that Lenora’s father was the renowned journalist of yesteryears, Fernando.
It had been a decade since Fernando passed away, so the younger generation was unfamiliar with him.
However, whenever the food additive case was mentioned, everyone would immediately think of him.
Over a decade ago, when digital media was still in its infancy, a report on food additives garnered a readership surpassing a hundred million. The newspapers had to go through multiple reprints to meet the demand.
The person in charge of a certain food brand involved in the food additive case was sentenced to prison indefinitely.
Before that, Fernando had also reported on other cases that sparked heated discussions. However, in the eyes of his peers, it was a thankless task.
Following the food additive case, Fernando entered the public eye. His records were also brought to light, leaving the public in awe for a time.
When Fernando met his untimely demise in a car accident, there was a widespread sense of sorrow and regret. The memorial service was packed to the brim, drawing in a sea of mourners. The media also reported on the tragic event.
More than a decade had passed, and little remained of the news from those years, with only a few blurry photos from the memorial service available.
At the time, Fernando’s high school–aged daughter was broken–hearted. However, once the initial intensity had passed, no one paid any attention to her anymore.
Interestingly, certain media outlets mentioned that Fernando’s daughter was adopted and would continue her studies.
With that, the truth about Lenora being Fernando’s daughter and being adopted by the Fuller family after his death was revealed.
With such a respected father, Lenora’s reputation naturally improved.
In addition, following the press conference, the public believed that the news of Lenora being the third. wheel was merely a rumor spread by the media.
The public thought it wouldn’t make sense that the three of them could stand so peacefully on the same. stage otherwise..
Additionally, based on Susanna’s speech, they assumed she had known Lenora for a long time, and her tone suggested that she treated Lenora like a younger sister.
An average person wouldn’t have spoken in that tone to a mistress.
However, Susanna’s fans continued to target Lenora relentlessly.

Susanna nearly tripped and fell during the group photo when someone stepped on her dress.
However, when the camera was directed at her, Susanna, steadied by Zachary, glanced at Lenora.
Netizens couldn’t see who stepped on the dress, but Susanna saw it clearly.
Thus, with just that one glance, the fans assumed the culprit was Lenora.
There were many more comments under her Twitter post that day. Thankfully, she had turned off her private messages. Otherwise, her inbox would have definitely exploded that day.
However, those comments didn’t affect her. She casually skimmed through a few, then closed the app and put down her phone.
Whether it was praise or criticism, it all amounted to her popularity.
A knock echoed outside the room. “Dinner is ready, Mrs. Fuller.”
“All right.” Lenora responded as she stepped out of the bathtub. She slipped into some comfortable loungewear before heading downstairs to eat.
“Mrs. Fuller, will Mr. Fuller be returning this evening? Should I save some dinner for him?” Miranda asked.
“He probably won’t be coming back. No need to save anything for him.” Lenora said.
“All right.”
After finishing dinner, Lenora went upstairs, leaving Miranda to clean the pots and wash the dishes.
After that, Miranda emerged from the kitchen, only to see Zachary returning from outside.
He loosened his collar a bit and asked Miranda, “Is it time for dinner?”
Miranda froze. “You’re back, Mr. Fuller? Mrs. Fuller said you wouldn’t be home tonight, so I didn’t save any dinner for you. The dishes have already been cleaned… I’ll go make something for you right away.”
Zachary remained silent for a moment before he said. “All right.”
His eyes dimmed as he headed straight upstairs toward the master bedroom.
Lenora didn’t have to work overtime that day, so she spent her night playing with her phone on the bed carly on.
Suddenly, the door swung open, and Zachary strode in from outside.
Upon seeing him, Lenora was taken aback. “You’re back already?”
Zachary stood by the bed, looking at her dazed expression. He couldn’t help but chuckle in anger. “Didn’t I tell you to wait for me to come back for dinner tonight
“Oh,” Lenora replied with a calm expression. “You used to be gone all night. I thought you wouldn’t return tonight either.
Zachary’s mouth stiffened slightly, and he pursed his lips. “You saw it?”

“Yes.”
“I took her to the hospital and came back, Zachary explained immediately, observing Lenora’s calm demeanor and tone.
Somehow, he felt uneasy.
In the past, whenever he returned from Susanna’s place, Lenora’s attitude toward him would always turni exceptionally cold.
Yet, at that moment, she seemed so calm, as if nothing had ever happened.
Then, there was the press conference.
When Zachary was engaged in the interactive game of threading a needle together, he felt nothing unusual.
However, later, she even arranged an interactive game for him and Susanna, which inexplicably irritated
him.
Lenora was truly magnanimous, providing her own husband and the mistress an opportunity to grow
closer.
In reality, the underlying reason was that she didn’t love him.
She was in love with Jonas.
“I see,” Lenora casually responded.
She wouldn’t praise him simply because he returned right after dropping Susanna off at the hospital that day when he used to spend the nights with Susanna.
Both scenarios were the same to her, unless he rejected Susanna outright.
“Lenora, Zachary called out her name.
Lenora’s gaze shifted from her phone to him. “Is there anything else?”
