Chapter 274 Death Threat

Lenora couldn't help but swallow hard. She clenched tightly onto her sleeve as she cast a wary glance around her surroundings.

They were the only ones on this floor. Just outside their door was the elevator, which was adjacent to the fire escape.

The surroundings were steeped in silence, with only the faint hum of the ascending and descending elevator subtly breaking the calm.

However, Lenora could hear the panting from behind the fire escape door. The person delivering the papers was surely hiding there, observing her reaction

Lenora took a deep breath, turned around to close the door, and locked it from the inside.

She leaned against the door, her body completely relaxed.

She regained her composure a few minutes later, then took a photo of the piece of paper and sent it to the property management office, requesting them to review the surveillance footage.

When she decided to investigate the matter and received death threats from Gordon, she had already contemplated the consequences, so she had nothing to fear.

There was no way she would just give up at this stage.

Lenora picked up her phone and dialed Zachary's number.

Once the call connected, she immediately said, "Zachary, something urgent came up. Take Hattie home. I won't be free these next few days..."

It didn't matter if she ran into trouble, but she couldn't let Harrietta get involved in it with her.

On the phone, Zachary said, "We've already arrived."

"Perhaps you should go back first?"

"Hah

Two minutes later, the doorbell rang again from outside.

After checking the video intercom, Lenora confirmed that it was Zachary and Harrietta outside before she opened the door.

As soon as Harrietta entered, she felt a wave of relief wash over her. She kicked off her shoes and started frolicking around, playing with the cat

Zachary shut the door and glanced at Lenora. "Something urgent came up? What is it?"

"I can't tell you, but it's extremely important. You should take Hattie and leave later.

Harrietta, who was playing with Cotton on the side, heard this and her face scrunched up. "Aunt Lenora, can't I sleep with you?"

Lenora approached her and said seriously. "Hattic, I really have some matters to attend to these days Can you stay with Uncle Zachary for now? Once I'm free, you can come and play with me again." So, when will you be free? Are you still taking me on that cultural excursion?"
