No Remarriage: You Don't Deserve Me (Lenora and Zachary) novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285 There Is A Mole Among Us

With regard to Lenora, she was set to report to Susanna's company the next day. Hence, she planned to hand over Harrietta to Zachary.

Once the cultural excursion was over, Tamara was intent on taking Harrietta back to Lofbury. As for Zachary, would he insist on keeping Harrietta here or would he relent?

Glancing at the rearview mirror, Lenora noticed Zachary's car maintaining a steady distance behind hers.

She pulled out her phone and sent Zachary a message. Afterward, she spoke to Fiona, “Fifi, stop the car up ahead. Hattie and I will get off.”

“Do you need me to wait?”

“No need. I have something to discuss with Zachary.”

“Alright.” Fiona found an opportunity and pulled over to the side.

Lenora and Harrietta had just stepped out of the car when Fiona drove away. No sooner had she left than Zachary's car pulled up right in front of them.

Lenora opened the back door of the car and got in with Harrietta.

Zachary's large hands gripped the steering wheel, his wrist revealing an expensive watch. He removed the Bluetooth earpiece from his ear with his other hand and glanced at the rearview mirror. “What would you like for dinner?”

“I'm fine with anything.”

“Hattie, what about you?”

Harrietta tilted her head in thought. “I feel like having duck confit.”

“Alright, let's have duck confit then.”

Harrietta was quite the foodie, often seen with traces of grease lingering around her mouth.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lenora asked, “Hattie, is it okay if you go back with Uncle Zachary today?”

Harrietta was taken aback, she glanced at Zachary, then back at Lenora. Her large eyes blinked. “Why?”

“I'll be busy for a while, so I won't have time to take care of you.”

Before Harrietta could even ask, Zachary beat her to it, inquiring, “What are you busy with?”

Lenora paid him no attention, continuing to coax Harrietta, “It's a very important matter. We can play together once I'm done with my work, okay?”

Harrietta nodded sensibly. “Aunt Lenora, try to wrap things up quickly. I'll miss you.”

“Sure, I'll definitely do that.”

After reassuring Harrietta, Lenora glanced at Zachary, who wore a curious expression. However, she continued to eat with a calm demeanor, showing no intention of explaining.

Zachary pressed his lips together, maintaining a calm exterior, but inside, he was in utter turmoil.

When the phone rang, Zachary picked it up and took the call in the hallway.

The call was from Elijah.

After receiving the threat the other day, Lenora called for the property management to check the surveillance footage. The person who knocked on the door was dressed in black, completely covered up, making it impossible to tell who it was. They had skillfully maneuvered in and out of the blind spots of the surveillance cameras during their arrival and departure.

It took Elijah some time to track down the culprit, a low-level thug from a bar. When captured and interrogated, the thug quickly confessed, stating that he was merely following someone else's orders. As for the person who ordered him, he was heavily armed and the thug had no idea who he was. After a long interrogation, the thug finally disclosed an odd detail—the man had six fingers on his left hand. Even though he kept his left hand hidden in his sleeve, the thug had still managed to notice it.

A glint of complexity flashed through Zachary's eyes.

Lenora was conducting a private investigation into the kidnapping case when she received the threats.

Setting aside the reasons behind Lenora's investigation, the kidnapper had never been brought to justice, a fact that bugged Zachary's.

Despite the police's comprehensive preparations, the person still managed to escape, leaving no trace behind.

At that time, a thought had formed in Zachary's mind—there was a mole among them.

He knew someone with six fingers on their left hand—Johanne's driver.

Could he possibly be the mole? What role did Johanne play in all of this?

Elijah continued, “She recently met with Chief Lawson who was in charge of that case. I heard from an insider that the kidnapping case seemed to be related to her father's death. Apparently, her father had taken a photograph years ago that had led to his untimely demise...”

After hearing it, Zachary was completely taken aback.

Unexpectedly, Fernando's death in a car accident was no accident at all.
