No Remarriage for us Stay Away by Livia Storm

Chapter 277 A Deep Bond Indeed.

No wonder there wasn't a trace of information about that year on the internet.

No wonder Susanna had the audacity to push her earlier. Susanna knew she needed her help and wouldn't dare

to call the police.

At that moment, Lenora's previously lucid thoughts suddenly turned into a tangled mess, much like a ball of

entwined yarn that she simply couldn't unravel.

Before she had entered, she had already planned out her persuasive speech to the victim.

The news that Susanna was the victim caught her off guard, throwing her well-prepared plans into complete

disarray.

Suddenly, she didn't know what to do.

Would Susanna step forward to testify?

Lenora felt uncertain.

She took a deep breath, limping her way to the edge of the couch to sit down. "Let's not dwell on our past

grievances for now. You know why | asked to see you. | hope you can testify against Richie. He's the kidnapper

who caused your misfortune. Don't you want him and Susanna let out a soft chuckle, pointing to her own face

"Why wouldn't I? | recall just a few days ago, you slappedright here!"

Lenora closed her eyes for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Then | apologize to you."

"What's the point of an apology?" Susanna raised an eyebrow and said, "Unless, you lethit you back!"

Seeing Lenora's silence, Susanna started laughing. "Lenora, you can stand up for Mr. Fuller, who isn't even

related to you by blood, but you can't take a slap for your own father?"

"Okay, hitthen."

Taking a deep breath, Lenora slowly rose to her feet. With a limp in her step, she made her way to Susanna

A triumphant smile tugged at the corners of Susanna's lips. Rising to her feet, she forcefully slapped Lenora's

face.

The force was so great that Lenora lost her footing. Instinctively, she tried to steady herself with her right foot,

but a piercing pain shot through her ankle causing her entire body to shudder. Overwhelmed by the pain, she

couldn't hold herself up and fell to the ground. The left side of her face throbbed with a burning pain, gradually

swelling up to a noticeable redness. The heat spread from half of her face to the root of her car

A cold sweat drenched Lenora's back, soaking even the roots of her hair.

Taking a slow, deep breath, she picked herself up from the floor and settled back onto the couch. With a raspy

voice, she asked, "Can we get down to business now?"

"Okay, but," Susanna, lounging with one leg crossed over the other, watched Lenora's flustered state with great

satisfaction. "What's the point of punishment now that things have already happened? After

all these years, the kidnapper hasn't been brought to justice, and it hasn't affected me. Why should I stir up

trouble for no reason?"

Lenora pursed her lips. "Is it that you don't want to invite trouble, or you just don't want to help me? Those

kidnappers committed heinous crimes. Don't you really want them to pay for it? I think you should know why |

cto you, right?"

"I know," Susanna sneered dismissively. "Chief Lawson told me. You want to capture the kidnappers and use

them to track down the driver who killed your father. But what's it to me? He was your father, not mine. What if |

don't want to help you? What are you going to do a Oh, how touching. | wonder what will Lenora's reaction be if

she discovered that she isn't actually Fernando's daughter but instead the product of her mother's infidelity?

That's going to be exciting for sure!

Susanna's dismissive demeanor gradually stirred irritation within Lenora's heart.

She held back her emotions, her voice heavy as she said. "My father caught the attention of the kidnappers

because he was trying to save the hostages as quickly as possible. He managed to secretly capture their photos,

and in a way, he died because of you. If he hadn't Susanna laughed. "Why not?"

After she finished speaking, she tilted her head and looked at Lenora, raising an eyebrow in a provocative

manner

Lenora's mouth twitched slightly.

She glared at Susanna with a seething rage, her heart aflwith indignation. Her fingers clenched tightly into

fists, the only thing stopping her from giving in to the impulse to slap Susanna right then and there. Lenora's

heart had already cooled considerably. There was essentially no hope in asking for Susanna's help.

All she could do was place her hopes in Jayden, hoping he wasn't a fraud, hoping he could bring Gaston back to

the country.

At that moment, a notification sound suddenly cfrom Lenora's phone.

She clicked to open it, only to find out it was a reply from Jayden: Oh, cr"p! We had Gaston in our grasp, but who

would have known he'd slip away just as we were nearing the border! Worried she might not believe him, Jayden

sent her several photos, all containing photographs of Gaston being held captive.

Lenora took a moment to identify the man. Indeed, his appearance was strikingly similar to the wanted pictures

of Gaston. It seemed that Jayden was not a liar after all. But Gaston had fled.... 2/4

Once he took off, it would be incredibly difficult to catch him again.

In an instant, Lenora's heart plunged into an abyss, her spirits incredibly low

It seemed that they could no longer rely on Gaston.

For the sake of her father, she had to persist in her quest for venge

Lenora took a deep breath, lifting her gaze to Susanna "Since you agreed to meet me, it can't just be to reject

me, right?! Just lay out your terms, and stop beating around the bush!"

"It appears you're quite sharp." Susanna casually sipped her red wine. "Letput it this way. I've recently

returned to work, and I'm in need of an assistant. You work forfor a month, and I'll agree to testify for you"

Lenora understood that Susanna wasn't in need of an assistant. This was just Susanna's way of tormenting her.

As long as she agreed, she was bound to be toyed with by Susanna for a month.

Yet, she had no choice but to agree.

"How can | be sure you won't regret this?" Lenora asked

"If | change my mind later, you have my permission to forcibly taketo the police station," Susanna

aud, lifting her chin.

Lenora pursed her lips, her gaze lowered in deep thought for a moment before she finally spoke up. "Okay, |

agree. I'll be your assistant for a month, but | need a few days to sort out my current affairs." It was just a month,

endure it and it would pass

Susanna's lips curled up in a smirk, a glint of determination flashing in her eyes. "Three days! Report to my

company in three days."

“Okay”

"By the way, | noticed you were limping when you cin earlier. What happened?" Susanna asked, a

mischievous grin playing at the corners of her mouth, even though she already knew the answer. With a slight

tug at the corner of her mouth, Lenora siid softly, "I tripped and fell by accident."

"Oh, be careful when you walk in the future,"

Susanna lowered her foot, rose to her feet, and gracefully walked away in her high heels.

In the private room, only Lenora was left.

She exhaled, feeling the tension in her heart finally casing for a moment. Exhausted, she leaned back. against

the couch, closed her eyes, and remained perfectly still.

After taking a brief rest on the couch, Lenora beckoned for the attendant. She requested the attendant to assist

her downstairs, copy the surveillance video of the staircase, and call for an ambulance. She had just stepped our

of the private room when, mexpectedly, a familiar voice echoed from behind

her. "Nora?"

Without even having to look back, Lenora knew that the person who had arrived was Zachary

"Your foot is injured?" Fu Zheng strode forward, pushing aside the nearby attendant, and personally supported

Lenora.

Upon seeing Lenora's face head-on, he squinted his eyes. "What's up with your face?"

Lenora said, "I accidentally fell."

"Could a fall really leave the imprint of five fingers?" Fu Zheng asked with a cold voice. Lenora lowered her head,

falling into silence.

Zachary immediately swept Lenora off her feet. "I'm taking you to the hospital right away."
