Zachary's face turned cold, and he sneered, "What right do I have? You are now my wife, my sister. Have you ever thought about why he wants you to go abroad? Once you're abroad, you'll be all alone. Have you ever thought about what might happen then?" Lenora did not know what would happen.

All she knew was that she was on the verge of exploding in rage.

She kicked the blanket irritably.

"Ouch!"

A sharp pain jolted through her injured ankle as it touched nowhere in particular.

Lenora winced in pain, drawing in a sharp breath of cold air. Tears were already welling up her eyes.

Zachary lifted the blanket, grasping her injured ankle. "What's wrong? Are you hurt again?"

With hot tears in her eyes, she nodded in grievance.

Zachary helped her get the medicine and unwrapped the bandage on her foot. After cleaning it thoroughly, he gently massaged it and then applied a cool ointment. The pain finally eased. significantly. Zachary put the ointment back, his expression serious. "Lenora, I won't agree to your resignation. Don't bring this up again in the future."

Lenora sighed, feeling utterly frustrated. She lowered her gaze, remaining silent.

Zachary sat down by the bed. "We're not divorced yet. Don't bring strangers into our home."

Lenora looked up. "Not even friends?"

"Are you friends with him?"

Lenora looked away in a huff.

Zachary is sick!

"I don't want to talk to you.

After dinner. Lenora went upstairs to wash up and found a document on the table in the bedroom.

Could it be that Zachary didn't come from Susanna's place, but from the company instead?

She leaned in for a closer look, only then realizing that this wasn't a company document, but rather a medical record from Mercy Hospital. The medical record was quite thick, with the name Susanna written on the cover. In other words, this was Susanna's medical record. What illness does Susanna have?

A hint of curiosity began to stir in Lenora's heart

She reached out to flip open the medical record but suddenly held back just as she touched

1. it.

Lenora turned her head and went to the bathroom to wash and take a bath.

When she came out again, the medical record on the table had already disappeared.

The very next morning, Lenora, limping, made her way downstairs for breakfast.

While they were eating, she casually asked Zachary, "Are we going to get our divorce certificate today?"

Zachary glanced at her, then swept his gaze down to her ankle under the table. "Are you sure your foot can handle it?"

"Of course. I have my cane." Lenora patted the cane resting against the table. "It's not like I can't walk."

Zachary shook his head. "I have to go on a business trip today and don't have the time. We'll take care of it when I get back."

Lenora pondered for a moment, a slight frown creasing her brows. "You're going on at business trip? What kind of business trip?" "Why? You want to come with me?" Zachary looked at Lenora calmly.

Lenora quickly shook her head. "No."

"Then wait for me at home."

A surge of complexity engulfed Lenora. The uttered words painted a picture of them as a devoted couple, yet in truth, their bond was already marred with wounds and scars. 2/5

After Zachary left, Lenora spent another two days resting at home.

When Lenora was at home, she would watch the news during her free time. Thanks to the power of big data, the system would curate news articles tailored to her interests.

On this very day, she received a notification. The headline read: Controversy sparked by leaked photos of Susanna. MQ employee: Can't help it. She's the proprietress.

Lenora had thought it was just a marketing account casually spinning some news to gain. traffic. However, after clicking in, she realized that this was not a simple marketing account. This article was interspersed with a few candid photos of Susanna.

This wasn't just a simple candid photo, but a picture secretly taken during the MQ endorsement shoot.

Based on the angle and clarity of the photos, Lehora could instantly confirm that this was the work of an insider.

In the eyes of the people behind the marketing account, this wasn't the focus. What caught their attention was that Susanna's candid photos revealed an exceptionally peculiar makeup style.

Makeup was applied to accentuate Susanna's temperament. However, her overly prominent cheekbones transformed her from cool and elegant to harsh and menacing. The deliberately drawn plump red lips had sharp edges, emphasizing a mature charm but inadvertently shortened the distance between the upper lip and philtrum, revealing a hint of childishness, which seemed out of place. Moreover, her eyebrows were too straight and stiff, which also drew criticism from her fans.

It was clear to them that this MQ endorsement was bound to fail.

Negative reviews poured in.

The first to cheer were Yara's fans. They were delighted to see Susanna fail. They even left comments on MQ's Twitter page that read: That's what you get for not choosing Yardt. Among them were many unsuspecting passersby and some haters.

Thanks to the combined efforts of all parties involved and the boost from marketing accounts, the topic quickly made it to the trending list, sparking more discussions among people. Many fans had already made a commotion on Twitter, demanding MQ and the Fuller family give Susanna an explanation.

Fan A: What a cr*ppy makeup job. It's a total waste of her beautiful face!

Fan B: Does your family do makeup with their toes? Can't you even copy her previous works properly?

Fan C: I'm at a loss for words. She's the proprietress and this is how you treat her?

Fan D: This is normal. I've long known that makeup artists here are far behind those abroad.

Fan E: Not to be blunt, but she really shouldn't have come back. You all understand how the entertainment industry is back home.

Amidst the barrage of criticism and ridicule from numerous fans, there was also a chaotic battle between different fan groups, especially those of Yara and Susanna.

The number of comments on MQ's Twitter page was steadily soaring.

Lenora immediately called Milly. "Has the PR department noticed? Have them suppress the issue as soon as possible."

Not long after, Milly called Lenora back, sounding distressed. "Ms. Wilkin, the people from the PR department said that Ms. Wimble has already consulted with Mr. Fuller to resolve the issue in collaboration with Susanna's team. Lenora didn't say much and just hung up the phone.

Previously, Zachary, including the deputy in charge of MQ. had given Lenora a great deal of freedom. Any news related to MQ, including public relations, was handled solely by Lenora, without any interference from the Public Relations Department. However, ever since Susanna became the spokesperson, Zachary seemed to have lost trust in her, handing over the job to Lola. Lenora gave a bitter smile.

She just hoped that Lola could handle this well without adding any more trouble for her.

At that moment, Miranda went upstairs. "Mrs. Fuller, someone just delivered a package. Please have a look yourself."

"A package?" Lenora was puzzled. She hadn't ordered anything online recently, and it was even less likely for Zachary to have done so.

Upon seeing Lenora's expression, Miranda asked in confusion, "Haven't you been buying anything recently, Mrs. Fuller? Could it be that the delivery person made a mistake? That can't be. I've checked several times and I'm sure it's your contact information." Lenora chuckled and said, "No worries. Perhaps someone sent me a gift. We'll know once we open it."

Miranda handed the small express delivery box to Lenora.

Lenora used a small knife to slice open the tape and then opened it.

When she saw the contents of the box, her face changed dramatically. She tossed it far away and began to retch at the side of the bed.
