Why would she like to see me?” Lenora slightly furrowed his brows and took a sip of her juice. “I don’t have time right now.”
The line erupted into chaos for a few seconds before a stern female voice cut through. “Ms. Wilkin, is it? My son had an asthma attack because of you and nearly lost his life. You need to come to the hospital and apologize to him immediately!”
The female voice was unfamiliar, distinct from the unreasonable woman she had encountered earlier, yet just as demanding.
Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.
Lenora rubbed her temples in irritation. “What does your son’s asthma attack have to do with me? He ran into my daughter and hasn’t even apologized yet. Frankly, it’s already generous of me not to have taken this matter to the hospital”
The woman sneered. “So, should I thank you for your generosity? From what I know, your daughter just had a minor scrape, yet you’ve been nitpicking over a child relentlessly. You used the police to intimidate my son, causing his asthma to flare up! And you still have the nerve to argue?”
“Are you saying I’m not telling the truth? He ran into my daughter. An apology is the least he because he’s sick doesn’t mean he gets a free pass from Liking responsibility for his actions.”
If they apologized early on, she wouldn’t hold a grudge or call the police.
can do. Just
“I’m going to ask you one more time: will you apologize or not? Think carefully before you answer. Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance if something goes wrong in the future.”
Lenora abruptly ended the call, setting her phone down on the edge of the table. She was aware that this family had connections, their words thick with veiled threats.
But she was not one to be timid or fearful.
Harrietta only caught Lenora’s side of the conversation, but she could easily guess what the person on the other end had likely said.
Pouting, she exclaimed, “Aunt Lenora, that’s so unfair! have to tell Uncle Zachary about this!”
Lenora chuckled softly. “Hattie, don’t let these insignificant people get to you and ruin your good mood.”
“You too, Aunt Lenora. Here, have some meat.” Harrietta fed Lenora a spoonful of meat.
Thank you, Hattie.”
Just as Lenora shifted her focus to the food before her, a message arrived that upset her so much that it stole her appetite,
It was from Benedict, informing her that the case involving Susanna and Gary had been reviewed and transferred to the prosecutor’s office, where it was set to proceed with prosecution.
Benedict had been closely monitoring the situation. Sanna’s appointed attorney had submitted a

medical report to the court, claiming that Susanna had been suffering from psychological and mental illnesses in recent years.
Plus, the case was an unsuccessful attempt in the first place, leading to a relatively lenient sentence. With this medical report in play, it was enough to spare Susanna from the misfortune of imprisonment.
Lenora’s chest heaved, her fingers slowly tightening as she felt disgusted.
So it turns out that being ill really can absolve one from the consequences of their actions. I’m so pssed. Am I going to let Susanna escape from the clutches of the law so easily?
After their meal, Lenora took Harrietta to the mall to shop for spring clothes.
Over two hours later, the pair emerged from the elevator, stepping into the first basement level with several shopping bags.
Harrietta was so exhausted that she could barely move
Lenora coaxed, “Hattie, just hold on a little longer. We’re almost at the car.”
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks.
A few towering, formidable men appeared before her, their expressions fierce and intimidating.
Even though the weather was still chilly, one of them donned a short–sleeved shirt, revealing a large tattoo on his arm.
The man leading the group fixed his gaze on Lenora and said, “Ms. Wilkin, we would like you to come with us, please.”
Harrietta grew alert at that moment, clutching onto Lenora’s thigh fearfully. Her eyes, round as saucers, darted nervously between the people in front of her.
Lenora gently patted the girl’s shoulder to comfort her lifting her gaze to the few men standing before them. “Who sent you?”
“Ms. Wilkin, are you not aware of who you might have offended?” one of the men said.
Lenora raised an eyebrow, understanding that it was the same group of people earlier that day who sent
these men
They’re fast.
“Fine. I’ll go with you guys. Let me first put my stuff in the car,” she said.
“All right.”
Lenora first placed the bag of clothes he was holding into the car, then gently took Harrietta’s small hand and led her into the van parked opposite.
“Don’t be afraid,” she reassured the girl.
Harrietta nestled in Lenora’s arms, glancing at the fierce–looking men around them. She whispered, “Aunt Lenora, where are they taking us?

The young girl’s face was pale as she fiddled with her wristwatch.
Uncle Zachary, hurry over. Aunt Lenora and I have been kidnapped.
“Hmm…. the hospital, I suppose.” Lenora speculated.

She looked up at the leader of the men in the passenger seat, asking curiously, “From your accents, you guys don’t seem to be locals, are you?”
The leader stared ahead, acting as though he hadn’t heard a thing.
The others, too, kept silent.
Her words fell on deaf ears like a leaf falling gently onto the surface of the lake, causing no ripples at all.
Lenora asked again, “May 1 ask who sent you? We did have a bit of a disagreement with someone this morning, but I’m still unaware of their identity.”
Lenora recalled that the police had mentioned the child’s name was Donovan or something similar.
Yet, she still received no response.
“How is the kid doing now? Is he okay?”
“Where are you planning to take us? To the hospital?”
Lenora’s voice was the only sound in the car.
The van pulled up at the hospital, coming to a halt in front of a particular residential ward.
The burly men got out of the car all at once, leaving the car door wide open. The leader, with a stern expression, commanded, “Get out and come with us.”
Lenora was the first to get out of the car, carrying Harrietta in her arms. She followed the leader, making her way up to the fourth floor of the hospital building. They stopped in front of a certain ward.
The leader made a gesture, instructing Lenora to wait at the door before he went in to report, “Ma’am, we’ve brought her here.”
“Let them in. A feminine voice echoed from within the room, closely resembling the one heard over the phone.
Lenora led Harrietta into the ward.
The young boy was lying on the bed, his complexion pale.
Sitting by the bed was a woman whose makeup was impeccably applied. Dressed in a tailored white business suit and towering high heels that added roughly ten centimeters to her height, she radiated an air of privilege and sophistication. Her hair was pulled back neatly, enhancing her elegant and graceful demeanor. She appeared to be around forty years old, but a closer look at her attire–expensive clothing. designer shoes, a luxurious handbag, and fine jewelry–suggested she was a woman who valued upkeep and presentation. This indicated that her true age was likely a bit greater than her youthful appearance suggested.

The boy was around seven or eight years old, which hinted that she had given birth to him later in life. Considering his asthma condition, it was no surprise that she cherished him so deeply.
Ac Lenora sized up the woman, the latter was also scruizing her in return.
“Are you Lemora! The woman gave Lenora a glance.
“I that obvious!”
A hint of a cold smirk appeared on the woman’s face. Still snarky, huh? With that arriturle of yours, you’re bound to face trouble sooner or later”
“Yosi needn’t worry about me.” Lenora said with a sarcaic smile.
The woman’s gaze fell upon Harrietta, her voice a soft murmur. “Is she your daughter?”
Instinctively, Lenora shielded Harrietta behind her. “Can the crp. What’s your purpose for bringing us
here
“Apologize to Donovan,” the woman demanded.
Lenora glanced at the boy on the bed. “I can do that, but he needs to apologize to Hattie first”
Had she not been in their territory, she wouldn’t have even agreed to apologize.
The woman chuckled. “Looks like you’re not aware of your predicament.”
She waved her hand, signaling for the men to take action
buddenly, one of the men approached from behind and lifted Harrietta off the ground, his hand
htening around Harrietta’s neck.
Martled, Harrietta let out a cry. Tears filled her eyes, threatening to spill at any moment.
“Les her gut” Lenora’s expression changed.
