Chapter 329 Johanne Was The Main Culprit
Lenora suddenly recalled that day when she accompanied Zachary to his company. After finishing his
meeting, Zachary stepped out to take a phone call. When he returned, his face was marred with injury. and he looked utterly disheveled. He embraced her in silence, and his mood had taken a strange turn. When she asked him what had happened, he refused to answer.
He must’ve learned about it back then. She thought. On the one hand there was his elder brother, and on the other, my father. It makes sense that after he became aware of the situation, he didn’t inform me immediately. Instead, he waited a few days and only had Johanne turn himself in before Gaston arrived in Jacaster if Johanne was the main culprit, then the idea of pinning the blame on Susanna was most likely concerned by Zachary Perhaps, during these few days, he would erase some evidence and fabricate new ones. That said will Zachary really use this method to help
exonerate Johanne? I don’t know him inside and out, but I don’t think he’s this kind of person
At eight in the morning. Ezekiel pushed open the door to the private room, where Tamara was already seated comfortably on the couch, sipping coffee.
He closed the door behind him as he walked in with aloof arrogance. With grace, he took a seat in front of Tamara. “Mdm. Fuller, what do you want to discuss?”
With a smile, Tamara said, “Something important, of course.”
“I don’t believe there’s anything of significance for us to discuss, Ezekiel stated indifferently.
“Why did you come here then?” Tamara raised an eyebrow. “As the saying goes, there are no everlasting friendships, only everlasting interests. I believe you understand this point.”
Ezekiel leaned against the back of the couch, silently watching Tamara.
Tamara then said. “I’ll just cut to the chase. Do you have a hand in Gaston’s testimony?”
Ezekiel was a businessman. Every move he made was tied to his own interests, and he didn’t believe in fruitless efforts
Aside from Lenora and Johanne’s people, the only other person who could have reached Gaston before he was apprehended by the police was Ezekiel’s people.
Ezekiel smiled, his expression unchanging. “Id appreciate it if you don’t make baseless accusations, especially when you have no evidence. What could I possibly gain from bribing Gaston to protect
Susanna?
Tamara replied. “Only you know that. Even if you don’t admit it, it doesn’t maner. All I know is that what you did was exactly to my liking”
Ezekiel lifted his gaze, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes. “With Johanne in jail, Fuller Group is now in your son’s hands. You’ve really played your cards well.
Tamara didn’t deny it. “Aside from that, there’s also Lenora. Zack married Lenora, but he didn’t cherish her. He regrets it and wants to win Lenora back. I know you despise me and Zack, and you want to get back at Zack. The most effective way for you to achieve your goal will be to take Lenora away from him, and this situation presents a perfect opportunity. I can lend you a hand. You met Lenora abroad, and you like her too, no?”

Ezekiel’s eyes darkened as he smirked. “Does Zachary know you’re here to see me?”
“Does it matter?”
“Aren’t you afraid that Zachary will despise you once he finds out?”
“I’m doing everything for his own good. He will understand it eventually

A glint of mockery flashed in Ezekiel’s eyes. “Could it be that you’re seeking an alliance with me, your enemy, because Zachary defieil you for Lenora? You would rather have Zachary despise you just to tear him and Lenora apart?”
A trace of unease flickered across Tamara’s face as she said, “Having said all this, if you refuse…”
“Lenora will visit the police station this morning.” Ezekiel casually lifted his cup, taking a sip.
Even though he despised Tamara for shattering his parents‘ marriage and causing his mother to fall into such a depression that she ended her life by jumping from a building, he had to admit Tamara had a point
about his intentions.
Regardless of his previous fondness for Lenora or his desire to retaliate against Zachary, his attitude toward Lenora gradually shifted from indifference to a determination to win her over.
A glint of smugness flashed in Tamara’s eyes. “All right
Lenora arrived at the police station around nine o’clock.
After she requested to see Susanna, the officer she spoke to hesitated for a moment. “Susanna is currently involved in two criminal cases. Normally, we wouldn’t permit visits. Ms. Wilkin, perhaps you should speak to Chief Lawson first? Only if he gives his approval can you proceed.”
Lenora assumed that Benedict had simply forgotten to inform his subordinates the day before. “Is he around now?”
She had already arrived at the office, so calling him at that point would be considered impolite.
The officer nodded. “Chief Lawson is upstairs.”
“All right.” Lenora turned around and ascended to the second floor.
The door to the chief’s office wasn’t properly closed, leaving a thin crack open.
Before she could arrive at the door, she heard a familiar voice speaking. “Johanne is the eldest grandson of the Fuller family. We can’t just stand by and watch him be doomed eternally. After all, this is just an old. case that no one cares about except Lenora. Zack is definitely siding with his brother. It was his idea, and there was nothing to criticize. Even Lenora believed it. Chief Lawson, you’should be understanding. Lenora won’t suspect a thing. You must have heard about the relationship between Zack and Susanna Even though they’ve broken up, people still tend to link them together. Now that Susanna is involved in a criminal case, it’s not good for Zack’s image. Therefore, Zack wants to distance himself from her. If she ends
up serving a few more years in prison, it’s no big deal. No one will try to overturn her case. When she gets out, some compensation should suffice. Once the matter is settled, the Fuller family will surely express our deep gratitude.”
Benedict said. “Mdm. Fuller, I can understand your feelings, but I’m afraid I can’t agree to your terms. I

Every word from Tamara entered Lenora’s ears, making her feel as if she had been plunged into an icy cellar.
Even though she wore thick clothes and was surrounded by warmth from the heater, she felt as if she were in a frozen tundra. The cold made her shiver uncontrollably, her teeth chattering non–stop.
As Tamara’s words repeated in her mind, her thoughts spiraled out of control. So, Johanne is the main culprit behind my father’s death? And Zachary deliberately concealed this after learning about it to buy time so he could fabricate a story and push the blame onto someone else
Shifting the blame onto others wasn’t a feasible option, and not too long ago, Susanna had informed Richie, inadvertently providing Zachary with an opportunity to spin the situation.
Under any other circumstances, Lenora would never have believed that Zachary could do such a thing, but Johanne was his brother.
It was evident to Lenora who Zachary would choose when it was between his brother and his ex–father–in- law, who had been dead for ten years.
Zachary had previously managed to frame Connor and Madison, two innocent individuals. As such. Lenora thought it wasn’t unlikely that he would resort to such tactics again.
Moreover, she heard Tamara say all that herself.
While she did think Tamara might’ve predicted her arrival and intentionally said all that to Benedict for her to overhear to sow discord between her and Zachary, she didn’t believe that was the case.
At that moment, Lenora felt a piercing pain within her heart. A wave of bitterness surged up her throat. Pursing her lips, she gulped, unable to prevent the corners of her mouth from drooping heavily.
A sting hit her nose, and in an instant, her eyes reddened. Her vision became blurred with tears.
She strained to open her eyes wide, lifting her gaze and taking a deep breath. How could I have forgotten what kind of person Zachary is just because of his kindness? He’s the best at acting. I don’t blame him for favoring Johanne. It’s only natural. However, how can he deceive me by covering up for the person responsible for my father’s death while simultaneously playing the humble suitor trying to win my happiness? I can’t believe I’m once again fooled by his convincing performance.
