Chapter 443 The Hired Boyfriend

A bartender? Lenora actually fell for someone like this? And even lied about him being a mural artist at a bar? She should have her eyes checked!

"When?" The vein on Zachary's forehead twitched slightly.

"About a week ago, she and her friend found me at a bar." Richard observed Zachary's increasingly darkening expression as he continued, "She said her ex-husband might come around to bother her soon. She wanted to hire someone to pretend to be her boyfriend, and she chose me."

Zachary fell silent for a few seconds, his gaze chilling as he stared at Richard, as if the latter was going to be a dead man. "Liar! How could she possibly fall for you if you've only known each other for a week? Tell me, did you two meet several years ago?" Richard explained incoherently, "I'm telling the truth. I'm not lying. My colleagues can vouch for me, and there's a contract. I can show you the contract!" "Contract?"

"Right, we signed a contract back then. Once I've done my job, she's supposed to pay me ten thousand."

Zachary narrowed his eyes, carefully studying Richard's expression. He didn't miss the slightest detail, yet he found nothing to indicate the latter was lying.

Could it be that Richard is really telling the truth?

Richard felt a chill run down his spine under the intense gaze. Faced with the silence, he hurriedly explained, "As for your claim that she likes me? How could that possibly be?"

Could it be...

Zachary's eyes dimmed as he stood up. "I'm going to make a call," he said.

Upon leaving the private room, Zachary immediately dialed Elijah's number.

From the other end of the phone, Elijah's nonchalant voice came through. "Hello? What's up, Mr. Fuller?"

"I've a question for you. When and where did Lenora meet Richard?"

Upon hearing this, Elijah burst into hearty laughter. "Hahahahaha..."

"Why are you laughing?" Zachary's face darkened.

Elijah laughed for quite some time before he finally stopped, still unable to contain his amusement. "I'm laughing at how slow you are. You still haven't figured out what's going on, have you?" "Explain it to me clearly!"

"Lenora doesn't even have a boyfriend! She just made up a fake one to fool you!" Elijah said with a chuckle.

Zachary's eyes gradually darkened, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips as he gritted his teeth. "Go on."

"Not long ago, she ran into Charles and also discovered that I was following her. She had already figured out the truth. She was upset that you made decisions without consulting her, that's why she claimed to have a boyfriend." Zachary licked the back of his teeth, his fist tightening before relaxing. "Are you certain that this Richard has no connection with Lenora?"

"Right. Throughout the time I was with her, I never once saw her interact with Richard."

"I understand now." Zachary did not forget that Elijah and Lenora had deceived him together. "Just you wait. I'll deal with you later!"

""Ha ha ha ha...."
