Swallowing nervously, Lenora uttered with utmost sincerity, "Ah, it seems like it really does have power. Then

why did it automatically shut down? You don't think it's broken, do you?"

She lifted her head and gave Zachary a smile. "I thought it had automatically shut down."

Zachary looked at her with a calm expression, his smile not quite reaching his eyes.

Look at this effortless performance... She could easily snag the Best Actress award!

Lenora's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but take a step back. "Why are you staring atlike that?"

she asked.

Zachary stepped forward, a smile playing on his lips. "Nora, this is the first tI've realized how exceptional

your acting skills are. No wonder Director Stone was so insistent on inviting you to act." Lenora's heart suddenly

dropped.

She was dazed for a few seconds before twitching her lips, still clutching a sliver of hope. "What do you mean by

that?" she asked.

"Don't you understand?" Zachary took another step closer, the curve of his smile growing but not reaching. his

eyes. "When | called you, you weren't dining alone in a restaurant. You were with Ezekiel. You lied toand

even pretended to switch off your phone. Just now, it was Ezekiel who dropped you off. | saw everything."

After she got out of the car, she had a conversation with Ezekiel that seemed filled with reluctance to part

ways.

Her lie had been exposed.

Upon his revelation, Lenora's face flushed and turned pale.

Her skin was naturally fair, and under the light, it appeared so delicate that it seemed as though it could be

easily damaged by the slightest touch. Lenora lowered her gaze, biting her lower lip. She peeked at Zachary

before dropping her gaze again, whispering, "How... How did you find out?"

"| just had a social engagement at Harfush Club," he responded succinctly.

In other words, he had seen her at Harfush Club. Right from the start, he knew she was lying.

The mere thought of lying and deceiving him right under his nose gave Lenora goosebumps all over.

He didn't mention his arrival in Jeahron, nor did he reveal that he had already seen her. He was definitely playing

a cat-and-mouse game.

"Since you knew | was lying, why didn't you expose me

Zachary looked at Lenora, whose expression was a mix of confusion and defiance, and laughed. "I wanted to see

if you'd keep lying, and to my surprise, you actually did. Nora, you've givenquite the shock...

Upon hearing the sarcasm in his voice, Lenora racked her brains, laughing nervously. She tried her best to make

her explanation sound plausible. "I really didn't want to lie, but given your hostility... toward Ezekiel. | had no

choice but to.... "So, you're blaming me. Is that it?"

"I didn't mean that," Lenora hastily clarified.

Zachary chuckled softly. "If | hadn't seen it with my own eyes, | would never have imagined, Nora, your acting

skills are truly impeccable."

Although the words were ostensibly complimentary, there was an undeniable undertone of sarcasm in the way

they were delivered.

Lenora tugged at the corner of her mouth. "You flatter me..."

"Can't handle a single compliment, can you?" Zachary sneered coldly.

Before she could finish her sentence, Zachary suddenly turned around, his hands gripping her slender waist. He

silenced her with a kiss.

This time, Zachary's kiss was exceptionally rough.

Lenora felt a prickling sensation on her lips and forcefully pushed Zachary away.

After a long while, he finally released her, his gaze fixated on her ripe, rosy lips. "Consider this a punishment for

your lie this time. If you dare to repeat it...

"Don't worry. There's definitely none," Lenora assured him, panting heavily.

At this point, Lenora's resolve hardened. "I initially kept this from you to prevent any overthinking on your part.

But if you're not willing, so be it. I've said what | needed to say. Ezekiel is my friend, and | won't distance myself

from him because of you." She wouldn't let Zachary influence her social interactions and lifestyle anymore.

Hearing this, Zachary couldn't help but laugh, leaning over to cover her lips with his, passionately kissing

her.

Cheeky girl.. You even dare to mention Ezekiel!

Zachary didn't leave.

He insisted on staying here, and before sleep, he helped Lenora relax once more.

Her beauty was captivating.

Feeling comfortably drowsy, Lenora had this thought just before drifting into dreamland.

Zachary gazed at Lenora's peacefully sleeping face, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

In the morning, Lenora sent a friessage to Ezekiel: Ezekin. I've got serrands to run this morning | head

straight to the airport once I'm done, so there's no need for you to cand seeoff at noon. About half an

hour had passed before Ezekiel responded: All right. Take care on your journey.

She replied: Okay. Thank you.

Gazing at the message on the screen, Ezekiel was absentmindedly caressing his phone.

Zachary has arrived in Jeahron and is staying at the shotel as Lenora..

Is Lenora refusingbecause she's with Zachary?

Are they back together?

A glint of hidden intent flashed in Ezekiel's eyes as he dialed a number.

In the morning, Lenora and Zachary casually strolled around the vicinity. Before noon, they headed to the airport

to fly back to Jacaster.

It was past three when they arrived at Jacaster Airport. After the driver dropped Lenora back at the residential

area, he took Zachary to his company.

Dragging her suitcase behind her, Lenora returned hand promptly plopped down on the couch.

Suddenly, her cellphone began to ring.

It was a call from the police station.

After Lenora picked up the call, her face turned pale, and her fingers gradually tightened.

Her father's case was handed over to the procurator's office.

The results of the police investigation revealed that Johanne was the mastermind. Driven by fear that Zachary

might threaten his position, he had arranged for Zachary's girlfriend, Susanna, to be kidnapped. The plot was

discovered by Fernando, who took drastic measures in response.

Next, it was tto see Johanne's verdict.

Lenora hadn't anticipated things to progress so swiftly. Generally, criminal cases would take at least half a year

to process.

Even though she had previously leaned toward this outcome, the irrefutable evidence still left Lenora feeling

somewhat distressed.

What was bothering her?

Perhaps it was due to Johanne, that before this, he had always been a protective figure to her. When she. first

arrived at the Fuller residence, he had always been kind to her. During high school, whenever someone tried to

harass or bully her, it was always Johanne who stepped in to resolve the issue.

Were they going to keep Allison in the dark forever that Johanne was facing a sentence? Could they really hide it

from her for a lifetime? Allison was so smart, Wouldn't she notice the unusual behavior between Mallory and

Ryan?

And then there was Zachary. Despite Johanne's guardedness and opposition toward him, Lenora knew that

Zachary had always regarded Johanne as his elder brother. Had he really not thought of any ways to exonerate

Johanne? Even if there wasn't any. Johanne was responsible for her father's death. Could she really interact with

Zachary without any reservations?

Furthermore, regarding Susanna, once the investigation results of this case were released, it was confirmed that

Susanna was indeed the victim in the kidnapping ease. Her emotional trauma and mental illness could be traced

back to this event. As such, in her case with Gary, Susanna would not face legal punishment.

How frustrating...

Lenora was a complete mess inside, sitting listlessly on the couch in a daze.

Zachary als

received this news.

Without a moment's delay, he rushed to the police station, seeking clarification from the chief about the

situation.

Benedict let out a sigh, shaking his head in helpless resignation. Susanna might not have been entirely innocent.

Sevidence did indeed hint at something amiss. The truth was yet to be uncovered, but the higher-ups were

pressuring him to wrap up the case quickly and hand it over to the procurator's office.

Zachary didn't put Benedict in a tough spot; he simply indirectly inquired about the identity of the person

applying pressure from above.

Benedict didn't explicitly state it, yet he gave a hint.

Upon leaving the police station, Zachary dialed Lenora's number.

The phone rang for several seconds, but no one answered.

Zachary instructed the driver to head straight to Lenora's house. Unexpectedly, just as the driver started the car,

a message from Lenora cthrough.

She wrote: Don't cover. Lethave sspace.

Zachary was baffled.

He let out a long sigh, instructing the driver to change course and head back to the-office.
