Lenora couldn't help but swallow hard. She clenched tightly onto her sleeve as she cast a wary glance around her surroundings.

They were the only ones on this floor. Just outside their door was the elevator, which was adjacent to the fire escape.

The surroundings were steeped in silence, with only the faint hum of the ascending and descending elevator subtly breaking the calm.

However, Lenora could hear the panting from behind the fire escape door. The person delivering the papers was surely hiding there, observing her reaction

Lenora took a deep breath, turned around to close the door, and locked it from the inside.

She leaned against the door, her body completely relaxed.

She regained her composure a few minutes later, then took a photo of the piece of paper and sent it to the property management office, requesting them to review the surveillance footage.

When she decided to investigate the matter and received death threats from Gordon, she had already contemplated the consequences, so she had nothing to fear.

There was no way she would just give up at this stage.

Lenora picked up her phone and dialed Zachary's number.

Once the call connected, she immediately said, "Zachary, something urgent came up. Take Hattie home. I won't be free these next few days..."

It didn't matter if she ran into trouble, but she couldn't let Harrietta get involved in it with her.

On the phone, Zachary said, "We've already arrived."

"Perhaps you should go back first?"

"Hah

Two minutes later, the doorbell rang again from outside.

After checking the video intercom, Lenora confirmed that it was Zachary and Harrietta outside before she opened the door.

As soon as Harrietta entered, she felt a wave of relief wash over her. She kicked off her shoes and started frolicking around, playing with the cat

Zachary shut the door and glanced at Lenora. "Something urgent came up? What is it?"

"I can't tell you, but it's extremely important. You should take Hattie and leave later.

Harrietta, who was playing with Cotton on the side, heard this and her face scrunched up. "Aunt Lenora, can't I sleep with you?"

Lenora approached her and said seriously. "Hattic, I really have some matters to attend to these days Can you stay with Uncle Zachary for now? Once I'm free, you can come and play with me again." So, when will you be free? Are you still taking me on that cultural excursion?"

"About that... I don't think I can."

Harrietta wore an unhappy expression. Just as she was about to say something. Zachary interrupted with a question, "What is this?"

Lenora turned her head and discovered that Zachary was holding the paper with the ghostly face drawn. on it, waving it at her.

Taken aback, Lenora quickly lied, "It's just a prank from a friend."

"A prank?"

"Yeah

Zachary lifted his gaze to look at her.

Feeling uneasy, Lenora averted her eyes. "Hattie, what would you like for dinner?"

Harrietta responded off-topic, "I want to go on a cultural excursion with you"

Due to a disagreement over a cultural excursion, Harrietta and Tamara had a conflict. If they ended up not going, Lenora would feel rather guilty.

"We'll see. I'll figure something out."

Perhaps they won't make a move until the police uncover some results.

I could bring along a few bodyguards too,

Harrietta nodded. "I'm craving some meat."

"All right. I'll make it for you."

Lenora headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Zachary recalled the suspicious man he had encountered at the entrance of the lobby. The man was garbed in a black down jacket, a baseball cap, a face mask, and sunglasses, yet he didn't seem like a celebrity. After watching her enter the kitchen, he took the piece of paper and stepped outside to make a phone call.

The call connected, and from the other end came Elijah's carefree voice. "What's up?"

"Did your people create the ghostly face I discovered over at Lenora's?"

Elijah exclaimed in surprise, "No way. I've only had the private detective named Gordon do that kind of stuff, and it scared him so much that he stopped immediately."

"Could you look into it?" Zachary glanced at his wristwatch. "Check if there was any suspicious person.

It'd better be a prank... or else....

"Okay"

"Right, did you manage to find out who commissioned Gordon?"

"I did."

""Who is it?"

"Lenora, Elijah said in a hushed tone.

Zachary paused, glancing at the door beside him. "Are you sure?"

"I'm absolutely sure. They had before. Most likely, they were discussing matters related to the commission."

Zachary fell silent.

Lenora hired a private detective to look into the kidnapping case from years ago, but why?

Elijah chuckled. "Hey, do you think she might still have feelings for you? Is that why she's looking into that matter? Let her do it then. You and Susanna have already broken up, haven't you? Why are you still covering for her?" On the internet, there wasn't a shred of information about the kidnapping case. This was all thanks to Zachary's efforts.

Lenora had no choice but to hire a private detective.

Zachary paused for a moment. "That's a different matter. Regardless of my relationship with her, it doesn't change the fact that she was the victim in this situation

If netizens were to dig this up, perhaps many would sympathize with Susanna, but there would also be a greater number of backbiters ready to judge, mock, and tarnish the victimized celebrity.

Back then, as Susanna's boyfriend, he had certainly fallen short in his duties.

He had promised Susanna that he would completely suppress this matter, and he was certain to fulfill it.

He had never considered using this matter to threaten Susanna either.

At this point, Susanna had only herself to blame, and he felt no sympathy for her whatsoever.

Elijah sighed. "You're right,

After ending the call, Zachary returned to Lenora's house. Hearing some noise from the kitchen, he walked toward it.

Lenora glanced back at him. "Perfect timing. Could you debone the wings for me? I'm making honey-baked chicken wings for Hattie."

Beside the sink, there was a plate of fresh, large, and plump chicken wings.

"Okay"

Zachary glanced at Lenora, noticing that she had become increasingly adept at directing him.

"The scissors are in the basket," Lenora pointed toward the basket next to the chopping board.

"Okay"

Zachary took out a pair of scissors and began to debone the chicken wings.

Doing this didn't require much thought, so as he was deboning, he pondered. Every now and then, he would glance at Lenora,

Why is she investigating the kidnapping case from years ago?

As Elijah mentioned, is it because she cares about me that she wants to know the truth?

It doesn't quite seem so.

If Lenora knew what Zachary was thinking at the moment, she would undoubtedly say, "You're quite self-aware, aren't you?"

Just as Zachary was about to voice his question, his phone rang.

He set down the scissors and chicken wings, quickly wiped his hands, and walked into the living room to answer the phone.

A minute later, he stood at the kitchen doorway and said. "There's a situation at the office that requires my attention. I'll have to leave Hattie with you for now.".

He spoke not of Fuller Group but Trident Technologies He planned for it to go public in the first half of the year.

"All right, how about you pick her up after you're done with your work?"

"We'll see.

Zachary left.

He was rather busy. For three consecutive days, Lenora didn't get to see him.

Sophia was still at the Tortell residence,

At home, it was just Lenora and Harrietta. Initially, she was somewhat worried, but as she found that life was peaceful, she gradually let her guard down.

Five days later, Benedict made a phone call to Lenora

He informed her that they had investigated based on the news of Richie being kidnapped and sold. They had traced it back to Richie's biological parents and discovered that there was an account under his father's name. A large sum of money had been deposited into this account ten years ago, which was then transferred overseas.

However, this still wasn't enough to prove that Richie was the kidnapper. What was needed next was the identification of the victim of that year.

However, the victim back then was a woman who had endured brutal torment. The emotional scars she bore made her reluctant to step forward and testify.

Lenora understood the victim's feelings, but for her father's sake, she was left with no choice.

"Mr. Lawson, could you possibly arrange a meeting with her for me? I would like to talk to her personally."

"All right."
