"You're Zachary's ex-wife. If you hadn't mentioned that your case was somewhat risky, I would have thought Mr. Fuller had another mistress," Gordon state frankly. Lenora fell silent for a moment

Her expression was serene as she said, "Aside from being Zachary's ex-wife, I actually have another identity. I am the daughter of the journalist, Fernando Wilkin." Gordon was momentarily stunned, his expression suddenly turning serious.

Gordon had just graduated from university when Fernando passed away. It was a time when he was filled with youthful passion. He felt a great loss at the demise of such a righteous journalist and had been closely following the case ever since.

"At that time, my father was investigating this case."

Gordon seemed to understand something, "Have you found any clues, Ms. Wilkin?"

Otherwise, Lenora wouldn't have come looking for him nearly a decade after Fernando's death.

He had initially thought that the capital tycoons, whom Fernando had offended, were behind this. However, he was surprised to find out that it was actually related to that kidnapping case.
