The sound of Sophia's voice echoed from outside the door. "Nora, are we cooking lunch ourselves or ondering

With a sly chuckle, Sophia said, "Well, let's just order takeout, then

Lenora was in no mood to cook at that

on the couch.
If the kidnapper was this capable, then the identity of the kidnapped victim was surely not ordinary. If | truly wish
to investigate further, then I certainly couldn't do it alone.
"You look so serious! What are you thinking about?" Sophia asked when she saw her.
"It's nothing." Lenora regained her composure, flashing a small smile as she added, "By the way. you know of
any private detectives in Jacaster?"
Sophia's eyes widened when she heard that. "Private detectives? Why do you ask? Who are you planning to
investigate?"
Lenora replied with a mix of sincerity and skepticism, "I want to investigate the van driver who killed my father."
Lenora didn't say much, yet Sophia understood her thoughts clearly.
Back then, she had been adopted by the Fuller family, received donations from people from all walks of life, and
had a small amount of savings from Fernando himself. Moreover, Lenora herself was an outstanding student with
scholarships, and she was already in high sch Although the van driver had already been heavily sentenced, it felt
like a mere slap on the wrist compared to the death of Lenora's father. It was only natural for Lenora to feel a
sense of injustice. After all, the one who died was her father, the man she relied on for everything.
"I see, I'm not really sure about private detectives, but 1 can help you inquire about it."
"Thank you. Remember to keep it low-key, though. | don't want to inadvertently alert the enemy.
Sophia nodded. "I understand. By the way, did | mention that Jonas invited us out for dinner?"
Lenora arched an eyebrow and glanced at her phone, only to realize that Jonas had indeed sent her a message.
However, she had been so engrossed in searching for news related to the kidnapping case that she hadn't paid
attention to her phone. "Did he specify a time? Maybe we should invite Fiona to join us."

Upon seeing Lenora, Jonas couldn't help but express his concern. "Nora, I'm really sorry about the other day. Are
your injuries all right now?"
At that time, he was surrounded by a crowd, and with the noise buzzing in his ears, he couldn't see anything. He
didn't initially realize that Lenora had fallen. After disembarking from the plane, he messaged Lenora on
WhatsApp, but Lenora didn't say much about it. Later, With a laugh, Lenora shook her head. "I'm all right now.
They were just superficial injuries."
When recalling the incident at the airport in Musbane, Sophia couldn't help but express her exasperation. by

"Yes; it was an assistant. My manager has already taken care of it," Jonas said, somewhat relieved, but still
looking at Lenora with concern. "Thankfully, Nora is not seriously hurt. | wouldn't have been able to forgive
myself otherwise."
"This has nothing to do with you. You're a victim too," Lenora said.
Jonas had almost missed his flight when that happened
"Let's not talk about this now. How about we order our food first?" Sophia said.
"Yeah: let's do that!"
After ordering their meal, Fiona shifted the topic by asking, "How was your tin Archulea?"
When it cto discussing their adventures, Sophia couldn't help but enthusiastically share their experiences in

Before starting to eat, Lenora made a trip to the restroom.
She dried her hands with a paper towel and stepped out of the bathroom, pausing momentarily.
Jonas was standing by the bathroom door, as if he was waiting for someone.
Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned around and said, "Hey, Nora."
"Why are you standing here?" Lenora asked.

Jonas's complexion was slightly pale, a hint of hidden pain flickering in his eyes as he asked, "You've never once
condered me, have you?"
Lenora averted her gaze, calmly looking into the distance as she replied, "Don't waste your ton me."
"He cheated on you, and you still like him?
Whether I like him or not isn't the issue. I've just cout of a marriage and currently, | don't have the energy to

"| can wait. | can wait for you to emerge from the shadow of your previous marriage, Jonas declared resolutely.
He didn't hesitate in the slightest.
Lenora fell silent for a few seconds before asking, "What if | never manage to get out in my entire life!"
"Then I'll wait for you my entire life!"
Lenora was feeling somewhat of a headache.
She wasn't joking, when she asked him that question.
Her first marriage had left her emotionally drained, and she truly had no intentions of marrying again. In fact,
she was even contemplating a lifetof solitude
After all, living the rest of her life by herself wasn't too bad.
Moreover, she had no mental capacity to ponder on anything else at the moment. All she wanted to do now was
to avenge her father.
Just as Lenora was about to say something, the sudden sound of clapping echoed from the side. Zachary clapped
his hands as he made his way over, his gaze flickering between Lenora and Jonas. With a cold, mocking smile, he
said, "He'll wait for you his entire life? How Upon seeing Zachary, Lenora was momentarily stunned. Not wanting
to listen to his sarcastic remarks, she turned toward Jonas and said, "Let's go, it's tfor dinner."

Sering himself being ignored by the two, Zachary's face turned ashen in an instant. As Lenora walked past him,
he called out to her, "Lenora!"
Seeing as Lenora was completely unresponsive, Zachary felt incredibly frustrated. He clenched his fist and
asked, "Don't you care about Cotton anymore?"
Lenora halted in her tracks and stormed up to Zachary "Where did you take Cotton?" she asked angrily.
Zachary chuckled before replying, "Cotton is at the pet hospital. Where else could | possibly take it?"
"What did you mean by what you said, then?"

"Cwithnow to pick up Cotton. If you leave, you'll never see Cotton again!"
Lenora was furious, glaring at Zachary as she exclaimed. "Zachary! Are you using Cotton to threaten me? You're
despicable and shameless!"
It's to frustrating!
Forfer, Cotton was more than just a kitten she had spent a month with. During her most desperate and Powerless
times, Cotton provided her with a sense of support, adding a glimmer of vitality to her otherwise bleak existence.
To put it more tically, Cotton was like her own child.
Zachary raised an eyebrow at her. "Are you going to jointo pick up Cotton or not?"
Lenora glared at Zachary, gritting her teeth so hard that it felt as though they might break.
She took a deep breath before turning to face Jonas. "Jonas, you should head back to the private room. Let Soph
and Fifi know that I'll be stepping out for a while as | have smatters to attend to."
Jonas looked at Lenora with concern. Seeing Lenora signal him with a glance, he shifted his anger toward
Zachary and said, "Zachary, you and Nora are already divorced. Why do you insist on bothering her?"
Zachary maintained his composure as he replied, "Who says divorce means we can't remarry?"
When it seemed as though Jonas was about to say something more, Lenora stopped him. "Jonas, there's no need
to argue with him. You should head on back now!
Jonas had no choice but to suppress the resentment bubbling within him. He warned Lenora, "You'd better be
careful around him."
After he finished speaking, he shot Zachary a resentful glance, then turned around and left.
With a look of disdain, Lenora told Zachary, "Let's go pick up Cotton, then."
Zachary stood unmoving, his gaze deeply fixed on Lenora. His tone was unintentionally laced with bitterness as
he said, "You've liked him for so long, and now your wish has ctrue. He's going to wait for you forever, you
must be overwhelmed with emotion, right?" Lenora rolled her eyes in silence. "Yes, I'm very touched. Now, let's
hurry and pick up Cotton."

Zachary's eyes turned even gloomier, Gritting his teetin anger, he asked. "So, you're planning to be with him?"
"This has nothing to do with you. Are we leaving or not? If not, then I'm going back to my private room she said.
Taking a deep breath, Zachary suppressed the tight sensation in his chest and grasped Lenora's wrist. "Tets go."
Lenora attempted to break free, but Zachary only tightened his grip even more.
Lenora rolled her eyes in exasperation.
Upon reaching the parking lot, Lenora slid into the passenger seat, her face devoid of any emotion as she said.
"Make it quick."
Zachary didn't seem to be in a hurry to start the car as he sat down in the driver's seat.
He then let out a wry chuckle and asked, "So eager to take Cotton hand cut ties with me, are you?" Lenora
gazed ahead, a frown creasing her forehead. "Zachary, sometimes | really don't understand what s going on in
your mind. Haven't you already decided to sell Galaxy Bay! | thought you had cto terms -with it-"
"Cto terms with what?"
"You claimed you loved me, but in reality, it was just guilt and possessiveness over your ex-wife. You are in love
with Susanna, aren't you? Didn't you allow her to retire from the limelight, planning to marry her? Why are you
still clinging onto me?" Upon hearing Lenora's words, Zachary fell silent.
She misunderstood him so much that he didn't even know where to begin explaining.
