At half past five in the afternoon, Lenora arrived punctually at the kindergarten entrance, waiting patiently.
Led by their teacher, the children filed out of the main gate in an orderly line.
Rows upon rows of similarly sized kids were lined up, causing Lenora confusion.
Upon seeing Lenora, Harrietta’s face lit up with happiness and she was about to call out to her. However, something crossed her mind and she promptly closed her mouth.
She gave a quick word to her teacher before briskly jogging toward Lenora.
Only then did Lenora notice her, she moved forward. “Hattic.”
Upon reaching Lenora, Harrietta turned to glance at her classmates before saying. “Aunt Lenora, let’s go home.”
“Sure.” Lenora took off the small backpack from her back and carried it, leading her by her chubby little hand toward the car. “Hattie, ho
did you find your day at kindergarten today?”
“It wasn’t too bad. My classmates were all quite friendly. It’s just that the teacher was overly attentive to me. as though I didn’t know how to do anything.
The teacher was aware of Harrietta’s extraordinary family background, and the fact that she had just transferred from abroad. Fearing that she might have difficulty adjusting, the teacher couldn’t help but give her extra attention
“All right, our Hattie is clever. Give it a week, okay? After a week, I’ll discuss it with your teacher. Hattie, if you have any concerns, you can also speak directly to your teacher. Let them understand you better.”
Being constantly under the teacher’s scrutiny wasn’t really that great either.
But Harrietta had only been here for a day. After all, she was just a child and still needed a teacher to keep an eye on her. Once she became familiar with all areas of the kindergarten, she could then be treated like the other students.
“Harrietta!” A childish voice echoed from behind.
Harrietta had good memory. She could immediately tell, that it was unmistakably the voice of her desk
mate
She pretended not to hear, saying, “Sure, Aunt Lenora, your donuts are really delicious. My classmates all love them!TM
“That’s good to hear.” Lenora glanced back. “Hattie, I think I heard someone calling for you just now?”
Harrietta lifted her face, blinked her big eyes, and asked, “Really?”
“Perhaps I heard it wrong.”
In the midst of their conversation, the two had already reached the car.

On the matter of whether or not to take on the role of Melody, Lenora sought advice from Sophia.
Upon hearing this, Sophia was thrilled and said, “I’m all for it! Nora, show some spirit, bring home the Best Actress award!“
“Things aren’t even set in stone yet and you’re thinking about being the best actress already?”
“Shouldn’t we set a goal first? It’s all right if you don’t am for the Best Actress award. There’s no harm in giving it a try, consider it as having some fun. After all, you’re the lead.”
After some thought, Lenora said, “Let me mull it over a bit more.”
Before she could make heads or tails of the situation, she received news from Ezekiel. He informed Lenora that Gaston had already entered the country and was handed over to the Yarwood police. They were preparing to transfer him to Jacaster.
Upon hearing this news, Lenora was overcome with joy.
Lenora responded on WhatsApp: Thank you so much, Ezekiel. I really don’t know how to express my gratitude.
Aside from the time she married Zachary years ago, she had never been this happy.

Gaston was handed over to the police by Ezekiel’s people, making it difficult for any hidden forces to interfere. Even if there were insiders, they would hesitate to act due to the influence of the Hoffman.
family.
Ezekiel maintained his previous courteous demeanor. “No need for thanks. I believe Gaston will reach Jacaster in a day or two. By then, we’ll be able to seek justice for Mr. Wilkin.”
After two days of anxious anticipation, Lenora finally received a call from Benedict.
The line connected and Lenora courteously exchanged a few words with him. Then, she asked, “Mr. Lawson, has Gaston already arrived in Jacaster?”
Benedict said, “Not yet, he will arrive this afternoon.”
“So, you called today…”
“I wanted to let you know, someone has turned themselves in.”
Lenora was taken aback.
With a shocked expression, she put down her phone and hastily grabbed her car keys to rush to the precinct.
A few hours before Gaston arrived in Jacaster, someone had turned themselves in?
Undoubtedly, the puppet master behind the scenes had received the news, knowing there was no way out, they intentionally pushed someone forward to take the blame!

Upon reaching the police station, Lenora parked her car and swiftly walked into the lobby, heading straight for Benedict’s office.
Knock, knock, knock.
The knocking on the door was impatient, urgent. Lenora called out loudly, “Mr. Lawson, are you there? It’s me, Lenora.”
“Come in.”
Lenora pushed the door open without hesitation. “Mr. Lawson.”
Suddenly, she halted in her tracks, her gaze landing on Zachary who was seated across from Benedict on the couch. She exclaimed in surprise, “Zachary?
How on earth did he end up here?
Zachary looked up, his expression solemn, and said, “Let’s sit down and talk.”
Lenora nodded at Benedict, then took a seat next to Zachary. “Mr. Lawson,” she began, “you mentioned earlier that someone has confessed. Is that true? Are we certain it’s related to the case from years ago?”
Benedict nodded, casting a glance at Zachary standing next to her. “We’re currently in the midst of the interrogation. We’ll know the outcome once it’s concluded,” he said.
As he spoke, he set down his teacup and rpse to his feet. “I’ll go check out the interrogation room. You guys sit tight here for a bit.”
“All right,” Lenora said with a slight smile, clutching the strap of her bag tightly.
The truth was soon to be unveiled, finally bringing justice for her father.
The director had left the office, casually closing the door behind him.
Lenora relaxed, turning to look at Zachary. “What brings you here?”
Zachary leaned forward, his elbow resting on his knee, his slender fingers interlocked. He stared at the table, not looking at her. “I brought someone to turn themselves in,” he said.
Lenora raised an eyebrow, “Was it you who found the person who turned themselves in?”
So, does that mean it wasn’t necessarily a pawn pushed forward by the person behind the scenes?
Thank you, Zachary,” she said with a smile.
Zachary lowered his head, briefly closing his eyes, his lips pressed tightly together.
He wasn’t sure how to tell her that the one who turned himself in was Johanne.
He didn’t know how to tell her that her father’s death stemmed from his family’s actions.
If only Johanne hadn’t made that absurd request of Susanna.
If he hadn’t let his guard down and accepted Susanna’s advances.

If he’d been more vigilant, she wouldn’t have gotten her hands on the project data.
If he’d chased after her when she ran off
So many “ifs–and if just one had turned out differently, her father might still be alive.
They wouldn’t have met either.
She would remain the daughter of a journalist. Just like any other girl, she would complete high school and enter college.
Perhaps she wouldn’t meet the man she fancied, nor would she give up on photography, Chances were. she might have become a photographer quite early on.
While he would graduate in due course, joining Fuller Group.
Perhaps they would never meet each other.
But, the ifs happened.
Her father had passed away.
They had met.
“Zachary, what’s wrong with you?”
Lenora noticed his unusual behavior and slowly let the smile on her face fade away.
It seemed like he was unhappy.
“Nora.” Zachary’s voice was hoarse as he asked in a whisper, “Do you know who turned themselves in?”
“Who is it?”
Taken aback for a moment, Lenora continued to question along the lines of his inquiry.
Judging by his tone, it seemed like she knew the person who had turned themselves in.
She had never considered this question before. How could she possibly know the person behind her kidnapping?
After a few seconds of silence, Zachary spoke. “It’s Johanne.”
Lenora also fell silent.
She stared at Zachary in disbelief, raising an eyebrow. Zachary, you’re lying to me, aren’t you?”
How could it possibly be Johanne?
Zachary straightened up. his deep–set eyes earnestly met Lenora’s gaze. With a grave expression, he said, “Nora, I’m not lying to you. The one who turned himself in was Johanne, and I personally brought him in.”
