Zachary looked up, his gaze immediately landing on the figure of Lenora standing at the doorway.

She stood against the light, her facial expression obscured and hard to discern. Yet, he had a gut feeling that she

was looking at him.

"I happened to run into Charles in the corridor. Thus, | thought I'd cover and say hello to everyone." Lenora

said with a slight smile, her gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Are you here to eat with friends?" Zachary asked.

"Mm-hmm."

Michael asked with a smile, "Lenora, what have you been busy with lately?"

"The endorsement of MQ."

Michael was taken aback, suddenly realizing he had dropped a bombshell.

However, the others were unaware that was a ticking bomb. Pointing at Susanna, Charles laughed and said,

"Isn't the spokesperson right here?"

With a warm yet indifferent smile, Lenora walked straight up to the table and picked up an empty wine glass.

She poured himself a cup of wine and said, "Today, | happened to run into you all. Allowto toast you with

Ever since they got married, Lenora hardly ever called him "Zachary" anymore. Instead, she affectionately

referred to him as "Zack."

Lenora emptied the wine glass in her hand in one go.

"Now, if you excuse me, | have smatters to attend to, so | won't disturb you any longer. Lenora put down

her wine glasses.

Just then, Charles chimed in, "Nora, this won't do! Susanna is sitting right here. Aren't you going to toast her?"

Charles is courting death. Michael was cursing Charles in his mind because he was about to smooth things over.

However, the busybodies around him had already started stirring up trouble. "Lenora, aren't you going to toast

Susanna, who Zachary personally stamped

approval on? Aren't you two still collaborating? Have a drink."

Lenora lowered her gaze, lightly pressing her lips together.

How could she possibly offer a toast to Susanna

mile. "What's the matter? Are you dissatisfied with Susanna, This is the wife Zachary has chosen."

His words carried a hidden depth of meaning.

He was basically saying. "How could you, a young lady adopted by the Fuller family, dare to disrespect the future

Mrs. Fuller?"

After all, if even Lenora didn't recognize Susanna, then the person with the title of Mrs. Fuller wouldn't hold any

authority in the circle. Gerald had always doted on Lenora, so Lenora's attitude perhaps represented his attitude.

Everyone turned their gaze toward Lenora.

Susanna smiled gently, smoothing things over. "Nora surely didn't mean it that way, Charles. Don't put Nora in a

difficult position."

"Susanna, you're still as understanding as ever." Charles turned to look at Zachary. "Zack, Susanna is your

girlfriend. Aren't you going to say something?" Suddenly, everyone's attention shifted to Zachary.

Lenora looked at Zachary, her hand curling into a fist.

Zachary looked up.

Their eyes met, their gazes intertwined.

He leaned over to pick up the wine glass on the table, poured a small amount, and placed it in front of Lenora.

"Lenora, doa favor. Toast a drink to Susanna." His words wounded Lenora.

After all, he was asking her, his wife, to propose toast to Susanna in front of all his friends.

Lenora wondered if he considered her as his wife at all or if she was merely a plaything for his amusement.

Lenora's body stiffened as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

Zachary adjusted his tie and narrowed his eyes. What's the matter? You don't want to do it? Or do you not

acknowledge Susanna?"

Listening to his casual words, Lenora felt a wave of sourness surge in her throat, and she unconsciously frowned,

Zachary, you really know how to bully people! You know just how to hurtthe most.

"Lenora, isn't it just a matter of offering a toast to Susanna? Why the unwillingness?"

"Ms. Carston is really considerate. What's the harm in offering a toast to her?"

With a taut expression, Lenora pursed her lips, stepped forward, and picked up the wine glass on the table. She

raised it slightly in front of Susanna, then drained it in one gulp.

She set down her wine glass, said nothing, and turned to leave.

"You didn't even say anything to Susanna while doing it," Charles said with a laugh.

"She really thinks she's the daughter of the Fuller family. How dare she show such an attitude to Zack."

"It's already a privilege for her to have a place in Fuller Group. Ms. Carston is the future lady of the Fuller family,

yet Lenora dares to disregard her. Zack, are you just going to stand by and watch Ms. Carston be wronged?"

Michael cleared his throat, looking at Zachary, whose face was growing increasingly dark. "Let's stop talking for

now."

Upon seeing Zachary's displeased expression, everyone assumed that he was unhappy with Lenora.

Consequently, no one else brought up the matter again.

There was one person, presumably trying to curry favor with Zachary and Susanna, who loudly said, "Mr. Fuller,

Lenora was only a teenager when she cto the Fuller family. She can't even be considered as an adopted

daughter of the family. You can't spoil her like this doesn't even regard you and Ms. Carston properly. Isn't she

just relying on the support of the Old Mr. Fuller? If you don't teach her a lesson, maybe even the shares in Old Mr.

Fuller's hands will end up with her."

"Oh? And how do you think she should be taught a lesson?" Zachary asked, his expression somber and

inscrutable, casually swirling his wine glass.

"Isn't it simple? She's not married yet, right? Just find a man for her to marry. Won't her husband be grateful to

you?"

"That's a good idea you have there."

Upon hearing the praise, the person smiled.

Zachary slowly stood up and suddenly kicked the man in the back of the latter's knee.

Caught off guard, the man fell to his knees with a thud, a sharp pain shooting through both of them.

Everyone was taken aback.

Zachary looked at the person coldly.

"I'm leaving." Zachary turned to Susanna and said, "I'll have the driver take you home."

Lenora returned to her private room, appearing calm on the surface. However, inside, she was already in

unbearable pain, unable to muster any energy.
