Chapter 359 Up The Ranks

Zachary paused. "I don't understand why you harbor such strong animosity toward Lenora. Could it possibly stem from Bertram's second wife, Jasmine?" Zachary had known for quite some time that Ezekiel's stepmother was also Lenora's mother.

Since they were already two individuals who shared no bond, he felt there was no need to inform Lenora

Unexpectedly, Lenora had actually met Ezekiel during her university years.

On the day of the video call in Jeahron, Lenora seemed to be in a bad mood. He speculated that she must have discovered Jasmine's identity.

Just like her, he, too, was a person abandoned by his own father or mother.

Hearing Zachary interrogate her with such a cold indifference, Tamara felt her head buzzing with irritation. "Yes! If it weren't for that wretched Jasmine seducing Bertram, I would be his wife by now. You would be the young master of the Hoffman family, and everything in the Hoffman family would be yours. Lenora, just like her mother, foolishly thinks she can get by on her looks alone...

When it was time to part, Bertram quietly went to the airport to see her off. He personally told her that he would find a way to bring her and their child back.

She had waited abroad for what seemed like an eternity, only to eventually discover that Bertram had remarried. His new wife was Jasmine, a bargirl with no notable background who had apparently climbed the social ladder through her intimate relations. How could Tamara willingly admit defeat to such a woman?

Hence, she had done her research on Jasmine early on. She knew that Jasmine had been married back in her hometown and even had a daughter.

She delivered the news to the Hoffman family. Somehow, Jasmine had managed to bewitch Bertram to the extent that, surprisingly, he didn't pursue a divorce with her.

Later on, it was unexpected that Jasmine's ex-husband passed away, and due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, their daughter ended up being adopted by the Fuller family.

At first, Tamara merely treated Lenora coldly. Considering Jasmine's cold-heartedness, living a life of privilege yet never returning to see her daughter, Tamara once felt pity for Lenora.

It wasn't until after that night that Gerald asked Zachary to marry Lenora.

Tamara couldn't accept that.

How could the daughter of that despicable Jasmine possibly be a match for her son?

She had finally seen Lenora's true colors. Just like Jasmine, Lenora was a seductress. On the surface, she appeared to be an innocent damsel, but beneath that facade, she was a temptress luring men in.

"Shut up!" Zachary's tone was harsh. "You're still in denial! Bertram's nature is just like that. A man who cheats within marriage and a man who isn't loyal. Even if Jasmine didn't exist, do you think he would have
