"Mrs. Fuller, let's head back, Miranda suggested as she emerged, carrying a blanket and a thermos flask. By then, Lola had already departed.

Seeing the shocked and pained expression on Lenora's face, Lola was in high spirits. Once she achieved her goal, she left with a sense of triumph.

However, Lenora sat silently in place, her fists clenched tightly.

Seeing that Lenora had no reaction, Miranda called out again, "Mrs. Fuller?"

Regaining her composure. Lenora let out a deep breath before nodding. "All right. Let's head back first."

Upon glancing at Lenora's expression, Miranda couldn't help but feel that something about Lenora seemed different than before.

Upon returning to the mansion, Miranda attempted to assist Lenora upstairs. However, Lenora declined her help. She settled herself on the couch and stated, "I'll wait for Zachary to come back." Miranda nodded, refraining from saying anything else, and busied herself with her own tasks.

Just after three in the afternoon, a black car pulled into the mansion's courtyard.

Zachary turned off the engine, leaning back in his chair. He lifted his hand, adorned with a steel watch, to rub the center of his brow. Removing the keys, he pushed open the door and stepped out of the car.

He strode in with his long legs, walking steadily into the living room. There, he saw Lenora, leaning against the couch, a blanket draped over her. Her pupils were dilated, staring blankly at a spot in the rooth. Zachary placed the car keys on the table, bending his knees to sit next to Lenora. "Why are you lying here? Shall I carry you upstairs?"

Lenora looked as if she had just noticed him, her gaze focused, slowly shifting onto him. Her voice was eerily calm. "You're back? No hurry. I have something to ask you."

His face appeared somewhat weary. "What is it?"

"How exactly did Grandpa die?" Lenora asked, staring intently into Zachary's eyes, her question hanging in the air heavily.

Zachary paused, closing his eyes and massaging his temples. "Haven't I already explained? Grandpa was seriously ill. He didn't have much time left..."

"You've been lying to me all this while!"

Upon hearing this, Zachary opened his eyes, meeting Lenora's icy gaze, which suddenly sent a chill through his heart.

Even during their past arguments, Lenora might have been resentful and angry, but she had never looked at him with such a cold gaze.

Zachary closed his eyes momentarily. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lenora ask, "Before Grandpa
