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

Chapter 30 I Will Compensate You

Chapter 30 I Will Compensate You

Lenora was speechless, her mouth agape. She didn't know what to say.

She took a gentle, deep breath, feeling a bitter and stifling pain in her heart.

She didn't dare to take that bet.

She had long understood that in Zachary's heart, she was nothing compared to Susanna.

He could push her out to block a falling shelf for Susanna, so why couldn't he push her out to shield Susanna from the rumors and gossip?

Moreover, those were just rumors and gossip on the internet. They couldn't hurt her in the slightest.

Seeing that Lenora was silent, Lola became even more arrogant. "Ms. Wilkin, do you take this bet?"

Lenora didn't respond. She simply hung up the phone.

dare to

She knew clearly that this was a game she was bound to lose. There was no need to bet.

Even if Zachary did know about this, he might support it.

She simply couldn't admit defeat just like that. Someone had to give her an explanation for this matter.

The person in charge of the studio had already sent her the surveillance video from the dressing room that day.

There was no sound, but the scene and actions were such that anyone could tell what had happened.

Lenora casually captured a scene and posted it in the WhatsApp group with Susanna's team, along with a few screenshots from the fan group. "Apologize on Twitter. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and releasing the surveillance footage. Think about the consequences!"

Everyone in the WhatsApp group fell silent.

Not a single person responded, nor did anyone want to take responsibility for this matter.

Five minutes later, Lenora saw that there was no response in the WhatsApp group, so she began to reach out to the marketing accounts.

She had done promotions before and had a few marketing accounts that she regularly collaborated with.

Since there was already a fuss, she didn't mind escalating things a bit more, adding fuel to the fire for this endorsement. Regardless of whether it was negative or positive, in the end, it was all about the attention it garnered. Just then, Lenora's phone started to ring.

Zachary's name appeared on the phone screen.

For a fleeting moment, when Lenora saw his name, a trace of joy crossed her heart. Did he see what happened on Twitter and come to check on me?

She answered the phone. "Hello, Zack."

""Lenora, don't release the surveillance video."

This was the first sentence Zachary uttered.

Lenora felt a chill run through her body, and the smile on her face faded away.

She should have known better. She shouldn't have entertained any misconceptions about Zachary,

Lenora drew a laborious breath, finding even the act of breathing to be a source of discomfort at this moment.

No wonder Susanna's team didn't respond. They are confident and fearless with Zachary vouching for them. My threats had no effect.

Not hearing any voice on the other end of the phone, he continued, "I'm sorry about what happened with Susanna's makeup that day. I misunderstood you." Lenora laughed out loud.

This is truly laughable. It's just too ridiculous.

If it weren't for what happened today, would Zachary have apologized for what happened that day?

Would Zachary have apologized if it wasn't for Susanna?

The answer, of course, is no.

"Zachary, I don't need your apology. I just need people on the internet to stop slandering

me!"

"Lenora, I know you're upset. I'll suppress this matter as long as you don't release the surveillance video." 221

At that moment, a thought suddenly sprang up in Lenora's mind. Thankfully I didn't agree to Lola's bet

Thank goodness.

"So I'm just supposed to take this injustice lying down? I'm just supposed to be the scapegoat? I'm just supposed to take the blame without a word?" Lenora suddenly roared into the mouthpiece.

"I will compensate you."

"Compensate me? How would you compensate me? What can you give me besides money? Unless you don't divorce me. Can you do that?"

On the other end of the phone, Zachary remained silent for a while before asking, "What do you want?"

Lenora laughed out loud.

As expected, he couldn't do it. His greed simply made him want everything.

He wanted to divorce her and reunite with his old flame. He even expected her to take the blame for his old flame and bear the brunt of everyone's insults.

"I'm sure you know what I want. Since people out there aren't happy with me as a director, I'l leave. Is that okay?"

"No. I won't agree to that," Zachary said, his voice firm and resolute.

Lenora was feeling somewhat tired. She understood that she wouldn't gain much from Zachary. All he could offer her was money, but that wasn't what she needed. Over the past three years working for Fuller Group, she had earned a lot of money from her salary and bonuses.

"That's it, Zachary. I won't say any more. Goodbye."

Lenora abruptly ended the call, lying on the bed with a sense of desolation, suddenly unsure of what to do next.

Her phone rang once again right then..

Lenora picked up the phone directly. "I've said goodbye. Stop calling me."

"It's me, Nora." Jonas' voice came through the speaker.

Lenora paused for a moment and glanced at her phone screen. "I'm sorry. I mistook you for someone else just now."

"I know. I saw what happened on Twitter. How are you now? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. What could possibly happen to me? It's just a few harsh words from irrelevant people, that's all."

The insults on the internet hardly caused her any harm.

The only one who could hurt her was Zachary.

"That's a relief. Someone is already managing the trending topic. It's likely that Mr. Fuller has arranged for someone to handle it."

Upon hearing this, Lenora couldn't help but ask another question, "How do you know it was him who did it?"

"Just check out the trending topics and you'll know."

Lenora refreshed the trending topics on the Twitter app on her iPad and was taken aback to discover a hot topic had abruptly surfaced on the platform.

The main cast of Cloudwater City had been officially revealed.

Subsequently, several celebrities and their roles also trended on the hot search, such as Susanna and Aqua, and Jonas and Zander.

Lenora tapped on the first trending search, only to discover that it was the official account of Cloudwater City announcing the cast lineup.

Susanna would play the female lead, Aqua Whiteman, while Jonas would play the male lead, Zander Rion. The announcement also included a lineup of supporting casts, tagging the respective actors.

The actors had also flocked to the official announcement post to respond and share.

The announcement of the main cast for Cloudwater City seemed somewhat hasty. Usually, when other productions announced their cast, they included official character portraits. However, the team for Cloudwater City did not. They simply introduced the cast through text. The actors had just been confirmed and they hadn't had time to take their official photos yet.

However, for some minor actors, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

Cloudwater City was an action film, directed by the renowned director, Avery Chance. The screenplay was written by the original author and a top-tier scriptwriter in the industry. The

producer and executive producer were both big names as well.

It was fair to say that everyone, regardless of age or gender, was vying for a role in Cloudwater City. Naturally, there were those with resources who would try to insert their own people into the mix. Once the roles were decided, it would be best to announce them as soon as possible. The longer the delay, the more room there would be for complications to arise.

Many netizens could see that the official announcement of the main cast for Cloudwater City seemed like a smokescreen for something else.

They were speculating that it was about Susanna's endorsement deal, rather than guessing anything related to Lenora.

Nevertheless, this form of protection seemed to be effective. The amount of abuse on Lenora's Twitter page had significantly decreased. Susanna's fans had all gone to support her by leaving comments on the official account of Cloudwater City.

What was an endorsement compared to a big production TV show?

After supporting Susanna, a fan rushed to Lenora's Twitter page and commented: Did you see that? This is the script that Mr. Fuller invested in for Susanna. How dare an adopted daughter show off? Just wait until Susanna becomes Mrs. Fuller. You have to acknowledge her as your sister-in-law!
