No Remarriage for us Stay Away (Lenora and Zachary)

Chapter 455 Terminating The Contract

When Isla didn't hear Zachary's reply, she looked up to find his gaze directed elsewhere.

She followed his gaze, her eyes landing on the silhouette of the young woman. However, all she saw was the woman turning around the corner, vanishing from sight.

Only then did Zachary return his gaze toward Ilia. "Hattie doesn't need your gift. Don't ever show up in front of us again!"

Isla's face turned pale. This was the first time she had ever been rejected in such a manner.

She bit her lip, retorting, "Do you think I wanted to see you? If it weren't for your aunt asking me to visit Old Mrs. Fuller and Hattie, I wouldn't have come here. And all I get for my good intentions is your insults!" "So, why aren't you leaving yet?"

Rendered speechless, Isla glared at Zachary before storming off.

She could tell that Zachary hesitated at first, contemplating whether to accept her help to keep an eye on Harrietta in the restroom.

However, when the young woman suddenly passed by them, Zachary's demeanor drastically changed. It was then that he coldly urged her to leave.

Who exactly is that woman? Zachary knows her, and it seems she also know Zachary too, yet neither of them exchanged greetings.

By the time Lenora felt that something was off, it was already Wednesday.

From last Tuesday to Thursday, she had been busy shooting advertisements for all the new clothing lines according to schedule. However, due to issues with the model, the process was delayed. It wasn't until Saturday that they finally wrapped up the shoot. Next, it was time to edit the photos.

Having once managed a clothing brand, Lenora was well aware that advertisements for clothing didn't require excessive embellishment.

The design of the clothing and the photos of the model trying them on were essentially meant to provide a reference for the buyers.

The model, to begin with, had an exceptional figure, making practically anything they wore look good. However, most people didn't possess a physique as impressive as the model's. Therefore, excessive photo editing could result in a disparity between the advertisement and the actual product.

Lenora made some quick edits to the photos, then promptly sent them off to the person in charge of advertising.

The head of advertising, however, declared it inadequate and asked her to redo it.

Lenora asked what was unsatisfactory, but he couldn't quite put it into words, only mentioning it felt awkward.

At that moment, Lenora didn't harbor any suspicions. Some clients, particularly those not specialized in the field, were just like that.

She dug up past advertisements of the brand's new seasonal collections, referencing their previous styles. She meticulously examined each image once more before making minor edits.

The person in charge of advertising, however, still insisted that it wasn't acceptable.

It was then that Lenora felt that something was off, so she specifically did some digging on the clothing brand.

Only then did she discover that the brand was a subsidiary of the Wilson family.

In that instant, Lenora's first reaction was that this matter was related to Isla, and she knew she couldn't afford to waste any more time with them.

However, if she proposed to terminate the contract, she would have to pay a hefty penalty for breach of agreement.

This was something Lenora couldn't accept.

Autumn was fast approaching, yet the company was wasting time with her, showing no urgency is preparing the new clothing line.

With that, Lenora got Bella to have two individuals look into the matter.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that the other photographer initially contracted by the brand had not been released from their agreement. They had continued with the original shooting plan, and the post-production was nearly complete. They were about to enter the marketing and promotion phase.

In an instant, Lenora realized that the brand had planned to use that particular photographer's work from the very beginning. Signing her was nothing more than a ploy to mess with her.

This must be llia's doing!

Lenora took decisive action. She first filed a lawsuit, seeking to terminate her contract with the brand and demanding compensation. She then entrusted the case to a lawyer.

D*mn it! It is nothing more than a ruse to delay my return home!

Lenora immediately went to check the return flight tickets.

Just then, Lenora received a message from Sophia: Nora, are you still in touch with Tyrant?

Lenora didn't know what to say.

Not only were they in touch, they had already reconciled, and she was about to return to her home country.

She had planned to tell Sophia after buying the airplane tickets, but unexpectedly, Sophia reached out first.

Lenora asked: What's wrong?

Sophia: Today at the mall, I saw him strolling around with another woman!

Upon seeing this message, Lenora's initial reaction was that she misread it.

With this thought in mind, Lenora went on to clarify.

Sophia was fuming: D*mn it! Nora, you're so love-struck that you're hopeless! Would I have said anything if I hadn't seen it clearly?

With that, Sophia sent over a picture.

In the photograph, Zachary was standing face to face with a woman,, and they appeared to be a match made in heaven.

Sophia is not mistaken. Could that woman possibly be Zachary's friend?

Lenora zoomed in on the photograph, finding the woman in the picture familiar.

Suddenly, she was struck by an epiphany, causing her eyes to open wide.

Isn't that Isla? What is she doing in Clusia? She's even together with Zachary!

In an instant, Lenora realized that the trap set by Isla wasn't about making her pay, but rather to delay her return to Clusia and to steal her man.

All that Zachary ever does is cause me trouble!

Sophia stated: See? Was I maligning him? Nora?

Immediately, Lenora gave in: No, no,noveldrama

I know you're the best and definitely wouldn't lie. I'll go ask him what's going on right away. If he can't give a reasonable explanation, then I'll leave him!

Sophia: Hey, wait up.

Lenora: What's wrong?

Sophia: He saw me. If you confront him, he'll know for sure I was me who spilled the beans. What if he seeks revenge? Sophia was fraught with worry.

Lenora: He wouldn't dare. If he dares to retaliate against you, I'll give him a piece of my mind!

Lenora knew Zachary well. No matter what, he would never take revenge on Sophia.

However, it was hard to say for sure. After all, before the incident with Connor, she never imagined that Zachary could be so cruel.

Lenora forwarded the photo to Zachary, accompanied by a yellow smiley face emoji.

Zachary didn't respond for a long time, and Lenora also lost the enthusiasm to buy the plane tickets.

If Zachary's response wasn't to her satisfaction, there would be no need to purchase them.

At worst, she could have Harrietta fly over for a few days.

Half an hour later, Zachary responded.

There wasn't any text, just a clip from a surveillance video.

The surveillance footage was extensive, starting from the moment Zachary led Harrietta into the mall, until the two of them left.

Isla only appeared at the bathroom door for a mere minute.

Who would have thought that within that very minute, Zachary would run into Sophia.

From the moment he saw Sophia, he knew she would surely tell Lenora. Thus, he instructed his subordinates to retrieve the video and have it edited.

The person editing the video had meticulously marked the timeline where Isla appeared.

Lenora swiftly skimmed through the video, dragging the progress bar. She then asked: Who is that woman?

Zachary immediately gave her a call.

As soon as the call connected,

Zachary's voice came through. "She's Isla Wilson, Matthew Xenos' niece. She returned to the country a few days ago, claiming Aunt Tamara had asked her to visit Grandma and Hattie. She went to the Fulle residence for a visit at noon today, and Grandma invited her to stay for lunch..."

Zachary meticulously recounted every detail of the incident to her He then added, "I've already told her not to show her face in front of me again."

As soon as the words were spoken, silence was heard over the phone.

"Here to visit Grandma and Hattie? I somehow feel like she's here for you." Lenora chuckled lightly.
