Chapter 356 No Divorce
When Lenora was engulfed in confusion, she received an international call from Tamara
24
She couldn’t help but recall the words she had heard in Benedict’s office, which cast a shadow over her heart, leaving her feeling downcast.
“Hello, Mdm. Fuller… Is there something you need?” Lenora asked nonchalantly.
Tamara chuckled lightly, her voice laced with a hint of arrogance. “So now you’ve stopped calling me Aunt Tamara?”
“Just speak your mind,” Lenora said calmly.
In the past, she had shown Tamara a modicum of superficial respect, but now she was unwilling to even maintain that. If it weren’t for the fact that she was Allison’s daughter, Lenora wouldn’t have even wanted to answer her calls.
Tamara snorted coldly. “Let me be frank, then. Keep your distance from Zack in the future! Don’t you think I’m unaware that you’re intentionally leading Zack on? Just like your sly fox of a mother, all you know is how to seduce men!”
Lenora’s breath hitched, gritting her teeth. “What are you implying?
Tamara had known Jasmine for a long time. From the very beginning, she was aware that she was Jasmine’s daughter. Could this be the reason she harbored a dislike for her?
“What am I implying? Jasmine is Ezekiel’s stepmother. You know that, right? How did a divorcee with no connections manage to snag Bertram? Wasn’t it all due to her seductive charm and her exceptional skills in the bedroom?”
A vein throbbed on Lenora’s forehead.
The fact that Jasmine could become Ezekiel’s stepmother was indeed food for thought.
When Tamara spoke about Jasmine in such a manner, Lenora wasn’t bothered. But when she compared Lenora and Jasmine as equals, Lenora couldn’t tolerate it.
She said sarcastically, “Even if I were incredibly skillful it would still require the cooperation of a man. Moreover, judging from your tone toward Jasmine, it sounds like you loathe her deeply. Could it be that you had feelings for Bertram but couldn’t win against her?”
“Shut your mouth, you lowly b“stard. You have no manners at all! How dare you speak to me like that?” Tamara suddenly shouted in rage.
“What’s the matter? You’re not upset because I hit the nail on the head, are you?” Lenora said with a smile.
Upon hearing Lenora’s words, Tamara strangely found calmness, stating sternly, “Lenora, Johanne is responsible for your father’s death. If you have an ounce of self–respect, leave Zack immediately! You and your dad only had each other, and Zack’s deep affection for Johanne is well–known. He’s currently trying to clear Johanne’s name. Don’t you harbor even a shred of resentment?”
Without uttering a word, Lenora simply hung up the phone.

She casually placed her phone on the table, leaning against the back of the couch, and raised her hand to pinch the bridge of her nose.
Lenora was lost in thought for quite some time, suddenly recalling an idea she had when she first got divorced. Once her father’s affairs were settled, she would leave this place, be it to immigrate or to settle in another city.
The investigation into her father’s case was now complete, with only the trial phase left. It was beyond Lenora’s control.
Leave this place?
Lenora pursed her lips,
Initially, her thoughts were influenced by Zachary’s persistence. Now, she didn’t mind the feeling of being with Zachary, but she had no intentions of remarrying him.
Tamara was somewhat right in what she said. Johanne was responsible for her father’s death, making it almost impossible for her and Zachary to have a relationship without any grudges.
Therefore, once she finished shooting this film, she could consider trying to live in a different city a different country. That might allow her to live a more relaxed and free life.

During the bail period, Susanna’s daily life was constantly under surveillance.
Her career had already crumbled. Thus, she seldom left her home recently, only venturing for an occasional stroll. Her demeanor was one of calm indifference, a picture of peaceful tranquility that belied her status as a criminal suspect under investigation. It was hard for anyone to guess her predicament from her appearance.
When Susanna went out, she usually wore a hat and a mask, a habit her neighbors had gotten used to.. They greeted her, “Taking your walk all the way over here today? You sure have walked quite a distance.”
“I’m just aimlessly wandering about. Nothing much, Susanna said with a smile.
“Take your time. I’ll make a move first.”
Okay.
Susanna watched as her neighbor walked off into the distance. She stood still for a moment, then slowly strolled toward the shopping mall across the street.
In the children’s area, numerous kids were creating quite a ruckus.
Susanna looked around, her gaze landing on a little boy in the rickshaw.
Susanna’s gaze fell onto the boy, unwavering, as she slowly made her way toward him.
The boy warily observed Susanna, standing up from the rickety vehicle.
Susanna halted in front of the boy, lowering herself so that only her eyes were visible. “Ryan?” she questioned.
Ryan studied her for a moment, then cautiously asked, Do you know me?”

“How can I save hum
“It’s quite straightforward. You just need to confide in your great–grandmother. Let her plead your daddy’s case to your Aunt Lenora Considering the respect Aunt Lenora has for your great–grandmother, she will surely forgive your daddy. This way, your daddy won’t have to go to jail”
After a few moments of silence, Ryan voiced his confusion. “But But Mommy told me not to tell Great- grandma
“That’s because your mommy wants to seize the opportunity to divorce your dad, not wanting him to get our. Think about it. Your daddy has always been so good to you. Do you really hope for your daddy to spend his entire life in prison or even face execution?
Ryan’s face scrunched up, his tiny brain already stretched to its limit
He didn’t want his parents to divorce, nor did he want his father to be imprisoned. Above all, he couldn’t bear the thought of his father being executed.
“Actually, your daddy didn’t cheat. It’s just that your mommy doesn’t know. Once he has the chance to explain everything to her personally, your parents won’t have to divorce.”
Ryan’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
If he simply told his great–grandmother what was going on, then his dad wouldn’t have to go to jail, and his parents wouldn’t have to get a divorce.
“Of course, it’s true,” Susanna said with a smile, tantalizingly. “But don’t tell your mommy just yet. Without proof, she won’t believe that your daddy hasn’t cheated. She’ll definitely stop you from telling your great- grandma.”
Upon hearing, Ryan found himself in a haze, understanding yet not quite comprehending.
However, he understood one thing. He should keep it from his mother for now.
“You must save your daddy. You’re a brave young man. You can do it. I believe in you,” Susanna said with a
When Mallory returned carrying a small cake, Ryan was sitting in the rocking car, lost in thought.
Alter some thought, Ryan tilted his head back and said, “Mommy, I miss Great–grandma, Let’s go her”
Mallory looked at her well–behaved and adorable son, nodding slightly. “All right.”
