Chapter 357 He Deserves It

During the filming today, Lenora seemed somewhat absent-minded. +10 Free Coins

Before heading to work, she received news. Zachary had managed to delay the case's progress to the court

through his influence in the procurator's office. There was a possibility that the case would be sent back to the

police for further investigation due to insufficient evidence. At the stime, he had also hired Zayne, the top

lawyer in Jacaster, for Johanne. He was prepared for all eventualities. Even if he couldn't suppress the case, he

was determined to secure the lightest possible sentence for Johanne.

If it were merely a matter of hiring a lawyer, Lenora wouldn't have batted an eye. After all, it was Johanne's

rightful prerogative. However, Johanne crossed a line when he reached out to the procurator's office, intending to

delay the progression of the case. Zachary trusted Johanne's words, believing that Susanna was the mastermind

behind her father's murder. He aimed to buy tin order to gather evidence that would be favorable to

Johanne.

When Lenora heard the news, Tamara's words instantly flashed across her mind.

Zack's deep affection for Johanne is well-known. He's currently trying to clear Johanne's name.

So, if the case is sent back for reinvestigation, does it mean that the outcwill definitely be the truth?

Lenora's mind was in utter chaos.

She was unsure of whom she should trust!

Once the scene wrapped up, a crew member approached with a phone in hand. "Ms. Wilkin," they said, "you

have several missed calls earlier."

"All right. | got it. Thank you."

Lenora took the phone and glanced at it. They were calls from Zachary.

She walked to a secluded area, then returned his calls.

The moment the call connected, Zachary's voice emanated from the receiver. "Grandma has been informed."

A jolt went through Lenora's heart, causing his heartbeat to skip a beat for a moment.

For a few seconds, her mind went blank. She could hear the pounding of her heart in her chest as she asked,

"What was her reaction?"

"By the t| found out, she had already calmed down

"How did she find out?"

Zachary sighed. "It was Ryan.

Lenora remained silent.

Her worst fears had indeed cto pass.

"Do you have tright now?"

"I'm going to change my clothes. I'll be right there"

"I'll cand pick you up."

Lenora hurried to the changing room to change her clothes,

She was in a state of utter turmoil, an unknown fear rising within her. Her fingers trembled digirly, not took her

three attempts to unfasten the button.

While dressing, Lenora accidentally got the zipper stuck. Her face turned beet red from the urgency, s trickling

down from the tip of her nose. It took a great deal of effort to finally free the subbor zipper

After Lenora settled into the backseat of the car, Zachary noticed that she hadn't removed her makeup Her

foundation was unevenly spread on her nose, her complexion was pale, and there was a bit of unex in her eyes.

Zachary retrieved a packet of wet wipes from the storage box and handed it to Lenora, reassuring her, "Don't

worry, Grandma won't blyou."

Lenora pulled out a wet wipe and wiped her face, her heart pounding wildly, yet she remained silent.

She was unsure of what Allison might think.

She was very scared.

She feared seeing the cold, disdainful look in Allison's eyes just as much as she dreaded seeing her eyes filled

with hopeful pleading.

She also wanted to ask Zachary about the case, but after sthought, she held her words back

How frustrating...

Lenora raised her hand, massaging her brows, feeling an overwhelming desire to escape.

Zachary held Lenora's hand in his, his thumb gently caressing the back of her hand.

Startled, Lenora abruptly withdrew her hand.

Zachary's hand stiffened. He turned to glance at her, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

The car cto a halt in front of the Fuller residence

Lenora paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the car after opening the door.

She walked into the living room, and as she looked up, her gaze met with Mallory's.

Mallory sat on the couch, her hands folded into fists and resting on her lap. As the sound of a car engine echoed

from outside, she tensed up, striving to maintain a calm facade while she awaited Lenora's arrival Ryan sat next

to her, his head hung low, appearing quite despondent.

After he had spoken to his great-grandmother, his mother gave him a stern lecture, telling him he

Chapter 357 He Deserves It

shouldn't have told his great-grandmother.

However, all he wanted was to save his father.

Their eyes met, and Lenora pursed her lips. "Mallory."

Mallory lowered her eyes, gently nodded, and said, "You're here..."

"Is Grandma upstairs?" Zachary entered and asked.

Mallory nodded slightly.

Lenora and Zachary exchanged a glance, then ascended the stairs one after another.

Inside the bedroom, Allison was seated on the bed, leaning against the headboard. Her face was ashen, and she

was staring blankly out the window.

The sound of footsteps drew closer.

Her gaze gradually shifted toward the door.

The closer they got to the room, the slower Lenora's steps became.

Standing at the doorway of the room, she wished tcould stand still forever, so she wouldn't have to face

what was coming next.

However, this was an impossible feat.

Lenora took a deep breath, raising her hand to press down on the door handle.

The door of the room cracked open, gradually widening.

Meeting Allison's gaze, Lenora's eyes instantly turned red for sreason. "Grandma!"

She quickly rushed to the bedside, clutching Allison's hand with trembling fingers. "Grandma..."

"Dear child..." Allison lovingly reached back to hold Lenora's hand. "I don't blyou." The moment Allison saw

the worry in Lenora's eyes, she knew what was troubling her. Lenora appears calm on the surface, but in reality,

she's most sensitive at heart.

A misty haze clouded Lenora's vision as tears threatened to spill from her eyes. "Grandma," she choked out,

"you have no idea how scared | was..."

All her worries and fears vanished in an instant.

Grandma is the most sensible person in the world.

Allison gently patted Lenora's hand. "Don't be afraid," she reassured her. "You've done nothing wrong. After ten

long years, your unwavering determination to avenge your father is a commendable trait. | won't hold it against

you.".

If it were anyone else, they might not have been willing to invite unknown troubles for someone who had

been dead for ten years, potentially risking their high-level, stable, and comfortable life.

Allison let out a sigh, glancing at Zachary beside her. "If blis to be placed, it should fall on your grandfather

and me. It's our failure in educating Johanne that led him to such actions, suppressing his brother and treating

lives with such disregard." Lenora quickly interjected, "Grandma, it has nothing to do with you all. Please don't

say that."

"Ryan was the one who toldabout this. I'm not sure who he heard it from, but he wantedto plead with

you to save his father. Mallory scolded him immediately after she found out."

Lenora understood what Allison meant. "I know. Ryan is young and misses his father deeply. Mallory is

understanding and empathetic. This is truly Johanne's good fortune."

Allison scoffed. "He had such good fortune, yet he didn't know how to cherish it. He deserves it."

She let out another sigh. "Nora, please step outside for a moment. | need to speak with Zack. Remember, | don't

blyou. Be at ease."

"All right." Lenora nodded gently, making room for the grandmother and grandson.

After all, her stance wasn't quite the sas theirs.

Lenora stepped out, closing the door behind her.

Only two people were left in the room.

Zachary sat down by the bed. "Grandma."

"What's your take on this matter concerning Johanne?"

"Indeed, Johanne is guilty. The victim was Nora's dad, and there was nothing | could do to help him. My only

option is to find a way to get Susanna to turn herself in." This way, Johanne might be given a lighter sentence.

"You've done very well," Allison said, a flicker of admiration in her eyes as she looked at Zachary. "The thing your

grandpa and | regret the least is keeping you with us. However, we regret not revealing your true identity to you

and Johanne, which led to such a catastrophe."

Zachary paused, his expression serious as he looked at Allison. "My identity?"

He had once covertly investigated his mother's identity but found nothing.

Allison gently nodded. "I should have told you earlier.
