Chapter 226 Extreme Jealousy
Lenora moved toward the coat rack.
Before she could react, Zachary had already taken off his down jacket and wrapped it around her.
As soon as they left the studio, a bone–chilling coldness hit them in the face.
“Get in the car.”
Zachary attempted to take Lenora’s hand, but she evaded his grasp.

He’stiffened for a moment before quickly moving to the side of the car and opening the backseat door for
her.
Lenora lifted her gown and got into the car.
Zachary immediately closed the door and entered the car from the other side.
The car was comfortably heated.
Upon arriving at the venue,.Lenora removed the down jacket and followed behind Zachary.
As they reached the entrance, Zachary suddenly halted. He bent his arm and looked at Lenora.
Lenora raised an eyebrow, then hooked her arm around his. Finally, they made their way to the grand hall.
Lenny Lynch, the host of the cocktail party, immediately came over with a smile on his face. “Mr. Fuller, it’s truly an honor to have you here.”
Zachary had no shortage of assets under his control. This included Trident Technologies, a rising star in the tech industry in recent years, and a real estate company that had secured contracts for landmark buildings in the high–tech zone. He also owned the tallest office building in the city center and the Goldthorn Tower, which boasted the highest annual turnover in the entire Nusridge.
Even if he wasn’t the CEO of Fuller Group, people were still drawn to him like bees to honey.
“Hello, Mr. Lynch.”
“Is this Ms. Wilkin?” Lenny asked hesitantly.
They just got divorced not long ago, and now they’re together at the cocktail party.
It must have been an amicable divorce, right?
“Hello,” Lenora greeted with a nod and a smile.
“Mr. Fuller, please come in.”
“Sure.”
Zachary and Lenora slowly walked inside.
“Mr. Fuller, it’s been a while…”

Numerous men approached Zachary with wine glasses in their hands.
In the past, Zachary’s companion at business cocktail parties had always been his secretary. She would make it a point to understand the attendees in advance, which often made their interactions at the event doubly effective.
However, among those present, Lenora hardly knew anyone. While Zachary was conversing with them, all Lenora could do was maintain a polite smile.
Perhaps to keep her from being too bored, Zachary would introduce her to them each time someone
came over.
Lenora was utterly baffled. What’s the point of introducing me to these people? I’m not doing business with them anyway.
The others were also quite bewildered.
They had received news of Zachary and Lenora’s divorce not long ago. Some opportunists, sensing a chance, were eager to make their move. They had even brought their daughters along. However, seeing Zachary and Lenora whispering intimately to each other, they were left in a dilemma about whether to introduce their daughters or not.
Seeing an opportunity, Lenora poked Zachary’s arm.
Zachary turned his head, leaning in slightly to bring his ear closer.
In a soft voice, Lenora asked, “Can I sit over there?”
A cocktail party really isn’t a place for me.
I have no idea why he insisted on dragging me into conversations with others.
“Are you tired?”
“I’m bored.”
“Just hang in there a little longer.”
“I can’t.”
“I’ll take you there.”
“No thanks.” Lenora tried to pull her arm away but to no avail.
Zachary said to those around him, “Excuse us for a moment.”
Upon reaching the couch, Lenora settled down and waved at Zachary, “All right, I’m here. You can go
now.”
Zachary watched as she eagerly urged him to leave. He couldn’t help but smile resignedly. “There are desserts over there. Have some if you’re hungry. Once this is over, I’ll take you out for dinner.”
“Okay, now get out of here.”

“All right.”
Zachary turned around and left.
“Wait.”
If he finds out that I’m here with Zachary today, will he…
