Upon seeing the four pieces of bread on the plate on the table, he assumed the housekeeper made them. He

casually picked one up and, after finishing it, picked up another. "This bread tastes quite good," he remarked. A

proud smile spread across Griselda's face. "Tastes good, doesn't it?"

"Yes. Mom, did you make this?"

"No, it was actually one of our tenants who made it. If you like it, | can ask her to make smore for you later."

"No need."

Stanley was fond of the bread but not to the point of bothering others.

"Don't worry about it. | didn't force her. She's a lovely person, very warm toward me. Remember those sweet

potatoes we had last time? They were a gift from her. If only | had a daughter like her."

Stanley slightly furrowed his brows. The tenant must be impatient. Having discovered the identity of my mom,

she made a conscious effort to win her favor.

Griselda was lost in her thoughts as she continued to ramble on. "That poor girl, she doesn't have a

mother, and her father is seriously ill. She's juggling work and school at the stime..."

Stanley thought of Mindy.

Mindy had mentioned that she was from a poor family, with two younger sisters and a brother. She had to leave

school at an early age to start working.

He then said, "Being able to afford school and rent a house near it shows that her life isn't too bad, certainly

better than many others who are less fortunate than her."

Griselda was rendered speechless. "Why are you so lacking in compassion?"

Stanley replied, "I'm just making a logical analysis."

Griselda swiftly snatched the bread he was holding. "Stop eating."

Stanley was baffled.

Perhaps it was because Allison refused Bertram's visit to apologize, the following day, he called Lenora.

Seeing a call from an unknown number from Jeahron, Lenora assumed it was Jasmine and decided not to answer.

She had already blocked Jasmine's number. After hanging up, her phone rang again.

Lenora wanted to block the number but also feared causing unnecessary harm, so she pressed the answer

button and remained silent.

A male voice, sounding as if he was in his forties or fifties, cfrom the other end. "Hello?"

It's not Jasmine? Only then did Lenora speak up. "Hello? Who is this?"

"Is this Ms. Lenora Wilkin? I'm Bertram."

Fine. It's not Jasmine but Jasmine's husband. "So, it's Mr. Hoffman. What can | do for you?"

Lenora guessed he must have contacted her because of matters related to Summer.

Last time, to prevent Summer from falling into the hands of the Winfrey family, Jasmine was willing to drug

Lenora.

Judging by how much Jasmine cherished Summer, Lenora wondered if Jasmine would request her to tell the

police that she and Summer were just messing around so that Summer wouldn't end up imprisoned.

"Nora, may | address you this way? I've always admired you. After discovering that you are Jasmine's daughter,

I've mentioned to her more than once that | hope you can beca part of the Hoffman family. | would treat you

as if you were my own daughter." With a tug at the corner of her mouth, Lenora responded, "I appreciate your

admiration, Mr. Hoffman."

Unexpectedly, Summer kept making one mistake after another, and her current predicament is truly of her own

making. | initially wanted to visit in person with your mom to apologize, but to my surprise, Old Mrs. Fuller said

you refused. That's why | decided to call you directly."

Despite discerning Lenora's lack of interest in becoming more closely acquainted, Bertram still spoke with

utmost politeness. After all, Lenora was the Fuller family's daughter-in-law.

"Indeed, | declined. There's no need for you to cand apologize."

"D-Do you not want to see us?"

"If you were just an ordinary elder, | would've certainly treated you with respect. | simply didn't want to see her,

whether she cto repent or to begto save Summer. It would be better for us to live in peace and not

cross paths in the future."

"Alas. Your mom must've thoroughly hurt you. | told her before that Summer is just her niece, and you are her

own daughter. However, she's been acting as if she's be

looked like top executives, probably entertaining them?

"Oh." Lenora sighed, lowering her gaze. "Perhaps he was too busy to tellin time."

Since she was returned after being kidnapped, they hadn't seen each other for half a month.

In the past, Zachary was often swamped with work, and it was not unusual for him to be on business trips for

half a month at a time.

Yet this time, his attitude toward her was indeed odd,

"Seeing how busy he is, he probably doesn't have tto prepare anything. So, why don't you surprise him?"

Lenora gave Miranda a call, but she was unaware that Zachary had returned from his business trip.

After hanging up the phone, Miranda was even more puzzled. Had Mr. Fuller gone on a business trip? His

secretary didn't cto pack his luggage. After sthought, Lenora decided to meet Zachary in person and

see for herself what was really going

1. on.

The following morning, Lenora requested a half-day leave from the director and headed straight to Fuller Group.

The receptionist, who had never been replaced, was familiar with Lenora.

When she saw Lenora approaching, she was momentarily taken aback but quickly regained her

composure. "Ms. Wilkin?"

"Is Zachary around? I'm here to see him."

The receptionist's eyes flickered for a moment. "Y-Yes. I'm sorry, but do you have an appointment?"

Sensing that something was amiss, Lenora immediately dialed Miles' number.
