Chapter 302 Do You Not Find Me Disgusting
Lenora stared at Miles, her eyes wide with astonishment.
Zachary has a deal with Susanna for my sake? So, were all the resources provided to Susanna, including the dinner party, Susanna's demands? "Really? You're not lying to me?" Lenora asked skeptically
"I swear I'm telling the truth!" Miles nodded repeatedly, "Susanna promised to testify right after tonight's event, but who would have thought.
With a scoff, Lenora said, "Zachary is really naive. Did he really think that Susanna would testify just because he agreed to those terms? She would never."
Of course, Lenora was just as foolish as he was
The two of them were equally naive and ended up being completely played by Susanna
With a smile, Miles said, "No matter what, it demonstrates Mr. Fuller's sincerity."
"If he doesn't want me to know, then what's your purpose in telling me?" Lenora asked, raising an eyebrow.
Miles scratched his nose, saying, "He hasn't been in a particularly good mood lately..."
In an instant, Lenora understood. She fell silent for a moment before saying, "Answer one more question for me."
"Ask away!"
"Why did Zachary release Susanna from the mental hospital?" Lenora asked.
The question triggered a flicker in Miles' eyes. "About that... I'm not sure..."
The absolute truth about Lenora's real identity and the fact that she had a child couldn't be revealed. Lenora stared intently at Miles, a smirk playing on her lips. "You really have no clue"
"I don't!" Miles shook his head vehemently.
"Then you should go back."
"Huh?"
"What do mean by huh?" Lenora folded her arms. "You're Zachary's closest associate, yet you don't know why. I can only interpret this as there aren't any outside factors-Zachary simply likes Susanna. Therefore, if you tell me that he had a deal with Susanna because of me, I won't believe it. His recent poor mood isn't because of me either. It might be due to something else
Miles was utterly flabbergasted, unable to regain his senses for a while.
What in the world? How could Lenora possibly think that?

"If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way," Lenora said, beading toward her car.
"Hey, wait, Ms. Wilkin!" Miles Yang hurriedly called out to her.
Lenora halted, turning around to look at Miles. "Is there something else?"
"Everything I've told you is the truth! I have no reason to deceive you!"
"Let me ask you again, why did Zachary release Susanna back then?"
From Miles' reaction, it was certain he knew the reason but didn't want to tell her.
Miles shook his head again. "I truly don't know."
"Let me take a guess, it wouldn't have anything to do with me, would it?" Lenora ventured to ask.

In truth, she had no reason to doubt Miles' earlier words. The skepticism she showed was merely a way to find out what Zachary's so-called reasons were. Otherwise, the matter would linger like a thorn in her heart. Every time she saw Zachary, it would remind her of his ambiguous relationship with Susanna. Miles was taken aback for a moment, nearly nodding in agreement. "I don't know, Ms. Wilkin... Please don't put me in a difficult position..."
"Could it be that Susanna has something on me?" Lenora speculated, staring into Miles' eyes.
Miles remained silent.
"But, what kind of dirt could Susanna possibly have on me?" Lenora was extremely puzzled.
She simply couldn't figure it out.
"Ms. Wilkin..."
Seeing that he was at a loss for words, Lenora sighed. "understand, it's alright. You can go now. I'll get in touch with Zachary,"
Miles let out a sigh of relief. "Alright, thank you, Ms. Wilkin."
Lenora drove home and headed straight to her study to turn on the live stream of the photography
course.
Ezekiel's voice echoed from the speaker.
His voice was slightly hoarse, his tone steady. As he spoke, he quickly drew his audience deep into the topic with his knowledge.
At the same time, Lenora was diligently taking notes.
At a certain point, Ezekiel paused, cleared his throat lightly, took a sip of water, and continued his lecture.
She wasn't sure if it was just an illusion, but she felt that Ezekiel seemed somewhat weary.

Once the photography class ended, one was allowed to replay it. Lenora opened the video to catch up on the parts she had missed earlier.
At that moment, her phone chimed, signaling the arrival of a message.
Ezekiel asked: Did you pay attention in class today?
Lenora: I missed the earlier portion, so I'm currently catching up on the replay.
Ezekiel: If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me.
Lenora: I got it. Thank you, Ezekiel. Your voice seems a bit off, are you feeling unwell? Remember to bundle up, keep hydrated, and get some rest.
With that, Ezekiel responded: Okay.
He didn't have a cold but had overused his voice instead..
Obviously, a weekly photography class wouldn't have done that to his vocal chord
The real reason was that issues had arisen from the company's acquisition project. Not only did the acquisition fail, but it also consumed a portion of the company's cash flow.
Meanwhile, those who were dissatisfied with him had also made their move.
Thus, he had been busy dealing with his problems for the past few days, getting very little rest
Zachary had deliberately shown interest in Oasis Technologies, luring Ezekiel into a competitive bid. It was only when he began to invest in Oasis Technologies stock that the latter realized there were issues within the company. Internally, Oasis Technologies was resistant to the acquisition, implementing a poison pill strategy to oppose it and dilute the shares held by Ezekiel.
Even the spokesperson for Oasis Technologies made a public statement. If the Hoffman family insisted on a hostile takeover, they would have no choice but to implement a scorched earth strategy, liquidating company assets before the acquisition could be successful. At this point, Ezekiel found himself in a predicament. Given the circumstances, he had to deal with the difficult Oasis Technologies, only then can he fulfill his responsibilities to the board of directors.
Naturally, given the Hoffman family's vast wealth and influence, acquiring Oasis Technologies was just a matter of time. However, due to the outstanding issue, discontent toward Ezekiel within the Hoffman family gradually increased, and his enemies started to undermine him.
This situation was Zachary's true intention from the very beginning.
Leaning back in his chair, Ezekiel rubbed his temples before sending a message to Lenora: Do you have time tomorrow? Let's have a meal together. There's something important I need to discuss with you.
Lenora was puzzled. She replied: An important matter?
Ezekiel: Yes
Lenora thought it was about the photography competition, so she agreed: Alright, let's meet tomorrow at

Levon Erbed, you should get some rest.
I put down her phone, replaying the lecture while jotting down notes.
the end of the session, she stretched herself languidly.
After freshening up, the slipped into her pajamas and lay down on her bed. Picking up her phone, she pondered for a moment before dialing a number.
The phone rang for what seemed like forever, only getting answered just before it was about to disconnect automatically.
A familiar male voice came through the phone, laced with restraint and displeasure. "Didn't you say that you were disgusted with me? Why are you calling me?
