Chapter 286 Are You Watching Me Again
Zachary pursed his lips, his gaze fixed intently on Lendra in the rearview mirror. Gritting his teeth, he asked, “This has nothing to do with me?”
I have already given her the chance to tell the truth, but she prefers to risk the danger of retaliation than tell it to me. Am I truly not worthy of her trust? Does the really have such little regard for her en life?
Lenora looked up, meeting Zachary’s eyes that were seething with anger. She was somewhat puzzled by it, “My affairs were never any of your business to begin with. Also, how did you know I was investigating the kidnapping case? Have you been prying into my life again? I haven’t even settled the score with you for following me to Newcove!”
Upon hearing Lenora’s matter–of–fact rebuttal, Zachary felt frustration welling up within him. His grip on the steering wheel tightened, veins bulging on the back of his hand. “I had you watched because you were threatened. I followed you to Newcove because you had been injured the night before. I care about you. Now, all I want is to help you.”
Lenora gave a faint smile. “Zachary, your concern and assistance, all come with an agenda. You something in return. I’m unable to give you what you desire, so I cannot accept your help.”

Zachary stared intently at Lenora, a bitter look emerging on his face. “Is that really what you think of me?”
She believes that my offer of help is merely a way to force her to be with me out of gratitude. So, she would rather face retribution, risking her life like Fernando, than be with me, is that it?
Lenora retorted, “Isn’t that what this is?”
Zachary’s eyes dimmed as he responded with silence, his entire being radiating a deep, icy aura.
The atmosphere within the car instantly grew tense.
With her hands tucked in her pockets, Lenora leaned against the back of the chair, gazing listlessly out of the window without another word.
Once they reached the entrance of Lenora’s Residential Area, Zachary parked the car by the roadside. Through the rearview mirror, he silently gazed at Lenora.
Lenora attempted to open the car door but failed. She then turned her head and met Zachary’s gaze in the rearview mirror. Ignoring the emotions in Zachary’s eyes, she raised an eyebrow and asked, “Aren’t you going to open the door?”
Zachary couldn’t help but smile wryly as he unlocked the door. Without uttering another word, Lenora opened the car door, stepped out, and entered the residential area.
Zachary’s gaze was firmly fixed on her retreating figure lingering until she disappeared around the corner
He withdrew his gaze, staring intently at a certain point ahead with a gloomy expression. Suddenly, he pounded the steering wheel.
At home, Sophia hadn’t yet gone to bed. Secing Lenora return, she asked, “Has Hattie left?”
“Mmm–hmm.” Lenora took off her coat and poured himself a cup of water.

Chapter 286 Are You Watching Me Again
“She is probably going back to Muprary soon, right?”
Lenora paused, took a sip of water, then said, “Zachary wants her to stay”
“Huh? Doesn’t that mean she’ll frequently come looking for you?”
“Mmm–hmm…”
Sophia wore a complex expression, “I see it’s quite hard for you to break free from Tyrant Fuller.”
With a sigh, Lenora sunk lazily into the couch. “Let’s just take it one step at a time.”
Regardless of how persistently Zachary pursued her, she would never agree to remarry him.
Zachary had once brazenly declared either Lenora would remarry him, or she would remain single for the rest of her life.
In that case, she chose to remain single.
Moreover, what mattered most to her for the time being was avenging her father.
“By the way, is Zephyr of mixed parentage?” Lenora changed the subject.
Sophia was taken aback. “How could that be? He’s a bona fide Clusian. I’ve met his parents before. Why would you think that?”
“No reason. It’s just that during our recent encounter, he felt somewhat like that,” Lenora said with a chuckle.
The very next morning, Lenora made her way to Susanna’s studio to report for work.
Susanna had always maintained her own studio. However, after the recent turmoil, only three people, including herself, remained.
The studio was located in an office building. When Lenora arrived, the young woman in charge of operations glanced at her. Presumably, she had already been informed by Susanna that Lenora would be coming, so there was no surprise on her face. She said, Susanna mentioned that once you arrive, you should go see her on the film set. She’s currently shooting a scene there.”
Lenora traveled to the address given by the young lady, checking it out online along the way.
Susanna was currently involved in the production of a fantasy film.
rama, she only had a special Without Zachary, her resources were not as abundant as before. In this appearance, and her role was minimal. However, Susanna no longer had the luxury of being choosy.
After arriving at the film set, Lenora sent Susanna a message. A few minutes later, a staff member with an ID badge on their chest came out to escort her inside.
Susanna was in her costume, with a down jacket thrown over it. She was simultaneously engrossed in a conversation with the director, script in hand, while also stealing occasional glances outside.
When Tyler left to converse with the others, Lenora finally seized the opportunity to go so an a soft voice, “We agreed that I’d be your assistant. Why have I now become yeast
Before Lenora arrived, she had familiarized herself with the job of being an actress scent. Mont of the considerate artists would not ask their assistants to carry their scripts, yet there were will a number of unreasonable ones who would do so.
Susanna was bound to give her a hard time. Thus, Lenora wasn’t surprised when given the script. She spread the script in her hands and held it up to Susanna
