Why would I lie to your Look at his Instagram. He was talking about this just a couple of days ago,” the grate photographer said as he pulled out his phone, showing it to the bespectacled man. “It’s a shame, really. He was so disappointed about the whole thing last time that he didn’t even participate in this year’s competition. If he had, I bet he would have won something.”
That’s indeed quite unfortunate. All attempts to seek justice have failed. So. Panoramie is no ordinary. person esther. Otherwise, how could he have such great influence?”
“That’s for sure. When the incident occurred, the netizens demanded the real name of Panoramic to be minded” The young photographer sighed.

“She’s a cousin of one of the judges. Think about it, why else would the original author’s claim fail? Why would the organizers refuse to disclose Panoramic’s real name?” the middle–aged man said meaningfully. “If it weren’t for this instance of plagiarism hitting a snag, it would’ve never come to light.”
The young photographer and the bespectacled man shared a glance, not fully believing those words.
Lenora was typing with her head down, finding their conversation amusing.
Although it was because of her acquaintance with Ezekiel this time, the conversation between the three men certainly pointed out a problem, and that was, in the eyes of the outsiders, the reason she was a match of Panoramic was because of her relationship with the Fuller family and Zachary.
She was inextricably linked with Zachary.
Marriage could be dissolved through divorce, but interpersonal relationships were hard to sever. Despite her verbal refusal of Zachary’s assistance, she had subconsciously accepted his help.
The man with glasses lowered his voice, curiously asking, “Which judge is it?”
“I’ll tell you, but don’t spread this around,” the middle–aged man cautiously said. “We’re not dealing with simple identities here.”
The bespectacled man quickly assured, “Don’t worry, we’ll surely keep this to ourselves.”
The middle–aged man glanced around cautiously before whispering, “It’s Zeke.”
“Huh? Really?” the young photographer expressed in surprise. “I thought he had a good reputation. Is that what he’s really like?”
Lenora kept her head lowered, but her fingers that were typing had come to a halt. A thoughtful glint flashed in her eyes.
Panoramic is Ezekiel’s cousin?
Her first reaction was disbelief.
Having known him for so long, Lenora intuitively felt that Ezekiel was not the type to indulge his relatives in bullying the weak.
Moreover, when she handed over the evidence to Ezekiel, his reaction didn’t seem like that of someone in the know.
The middle–aged man said, “That’s how it is with wealthy people.”
“I did a quick search. Zeke’s real name appears Ezekiel Hoffman. There’s a good chance that Panoramic could be his cousin. She wouldn’t happen to have feelings for him, would she?” the man with glasses speculated.
The young photographer shook his head. “No way. In this day and age, who falls for their cousin.
“Well, the middle–aged man spoke, “it definitely won’t happen between blood relatives, but this cousin

Upon hearing this, Lenora was reminded of how unreasonable Ezekiel’s stepmother was. Suddenly, she felt that what that middle–aged man said had some credibility.
Perhaps it was all the doings of his stepmother’s niece, and Ezekiel doesn’t know anything about it.
“So, what’s Panoramic’s name?” asked the man with glasses.
“Summer Lovestone.”
Before the young photographer and the man with glasses could say anything. Lenora suddenly started coughing heavily.
The trio simultaneously turned their heads to glance at Lenora, then changed their topic and started discussing the competition this round.
After a long bout of coughing, Lenora finally stopped, rubbing her chest to soothe herself.
She cleared her throat, shifting a seat to the right.
The three men halted their conversation, looking at Lenora with identical expressions.
middle–aged
With a smile, she turned to them and asked the middle aged man, “So, is Summer really Ezekiel’s cousin?”
The middle–aged man raised an eyebrow, responding. “Why would I lie to you?”
“How did you find out?” Lenora asked curiously..
“A relative of mine has done business with the Hoffman family before. You should know what Ezekiel’s family does for a living, don’t you?”
The bespectacled man and the young photographer didn’t know much about Ezekiel, other than that he was a photographer and a judge for the competition. However, the middle–aged man clearly knew that Ezekiel was the head of the Hoffman family, suggesting that most of what he said was likely true.
Summer is Ezekiel’s cousin and the niece of his stepmother. So wouldn’t that make Ezekiel’s stepmother…
The thought of Ezekiel uttering “Aunt Jasmine” caused Lenora’s breath to momentarily hitch. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
She sat motionless in her spot for a while before pulling out her phone and sending a message to Ezekiel: I’m really sorry, Ezekiel. Something urgent has come up and can’t attend the award ceremony. Could you please find someone to accept the award on my behalf? Thank you.
Lenora pur away her phone, picked up her bag, and stood up to leave.
She aimlessly wandered the streets.
Even though it was early spring and the weather was warming up, she felt an unusual chill. The cold seemed to seep in from all directions, leaving her heart feeling as cold as icc.
She could still recall, that when she was a child, some sy adults, thinking she was too young to

Back then, she didn’t know what expression to wear.
She still remembered, that during every New Year’s family visit, some would always urge her father to remarry, claiming that she probably wasn’t his child.
She had heard it all, and she truly feared that her father would abandon her. Yet, she could only pretend to be oblivious.
She also remembered, that back in elementary school, when her classmates found out she didn’t have a mother, they all distanced themselves from her. Her best friend, who shared her desk, was initially kind to her. However, the others began bullying her deskmate for her association with her. Eventually, even her deskmate started to drift away from her.
Every time her deskmate was bullied, she would always stand in front of them, yet, she still couldn’t alter
