Netizens can't hurt me. The only one who has the power to wound me is Zachary,

In Lenora's work, she had to deal with the media often to promote MQ and other projects. Naturally, she understood that the psychological behavior of the majority of netizens was to follow trends blindly. They only saw what others wanted them to see.

Just like in that day's news, some media outlets deliberately led an online brigade to stir up public opinion. There was also Lola's backstabbing. Someone was deliberately putting on a show for the netizens.

As for certain things that they don't want netizens to see like her clarification, Zachary kept a tight watch over it and did not let a single word of it leak onto the internet. If she dared to reveal the truth on Twitter, it would be censored within three seconds. Jonas sat with her at the bar for a while.

She asked, "Don't you have work this afternoon?"

"No. If I did, my manager would be bombarding me with calls by now. It's nice to just sit here with you for a while. Hey, why don't you come to my place for dinner tonight? It's not often that we get time to do that."

"Sure," she replied with a smile. "Just wait for me here while I go to the mall to pick up some gifts for your parents. I can't show up empty-handed,"

"Come on. Your presence is all that matters.

"That's not right. It'd be so impolite," she said, standing up as she spoke. She knew there was a shopping mall nearby.

"I'll go with you," he suggested.

"No way. You stand out too much. I'm already in the eye of a storm. If you get caught on camera with me, you'll be in trouble too."

Lenora did not care about the comments on the internet.

She was also aware that, to the netizens, she was a nobody. Once the buzz had died down, most people would no longer bring up the matter again.

At most, only Susanna's ardent fans would go after her relentlessly.

"How about this, then? I'll drive you there in my car and wait for you in the parking lot."

"Okay," she agreed. Then, she went with him to the parking lot on the second basement level.

After they got in the car, Jonas drove to the nearby shopping mall's parking lot. She had just opened the car door to get out when he reminded her, "No need to go overboard. It's the thought that counts." She waved her hand dismissively. "Got it."

Lenora made her way to the counter and picked out two bottles of wine, then headed to a jewelry store

After stowing her purchases in the trunk, she dusted off her hands, slid into the car. "Let's go."

Upon reaching the foyer, he changed into house slippers while calling out toward the living room, "Mom, Dad, guess who's here!"

"Who is it?" Raquel Knowles, Jonas' mother, rose from the couch and took two steps toward the entrance. The sight of Lenora standing behind Jonas made her exclaim in pleasant surprise, "Oh, it's you, Nora! Come on in. Why did you buy so many things? It's not like we're lacking anything at home."

"It's not a lot. Mrs. Zirk. It's my pleasure."

"I'm just happy that you could come. Leave the things here. Someone will put them away later. Come, sit down." Raquel stepped forward, took Lenora's hand, and guided her to sit on the couch.

"It's been a while since I last visited. How have you and Mr. Zirk been lately?" asked Lenora.

"Don't worry. The both of us are in good health. Jonas is busy with work and can only come home a few times a year. Having you take the time to visit us already brings us great joy."

"I'll make sure to find time to come keep you company more often."

Jonas settled down onto the nearby single-seater couch, watching the two engage in conversation.

Raquel was getting on in years and was not particularly fond of anything related to the internet.

However, with her son being a celebrity, so would also pay attention to online comments. Praise for her son would send her over the moon, but if there were negative comments about him, she would feel upset, often even getting into arguments with others. However, she could never outargue them and would even be hit with sarcastic remarks asking if she was Jonas' mother since she knew so much about him.

She had also seen the news about Lenora online.

Jonas had been in the industry for many years, and news about him had been plentiful. Raquel also- gradually came to understand the despicable nature of the unscrupulous media who would fabricate stories and take his words our of context.

Raquel comforted Lenora, advising the latter not to take things to heart. She and Zachry have been together for so long. If there truly was something between them, there'd be no place for Susanna.

"Thank you, Mrs. Zirk. Don't worry about me. Let them say what they want while I live my life. It doesn't affect me, and I won't take their words to heart."

"Ah, that's more like it. But... with such news going around, why hasn't Mr. Fuller come out to clarify? Isn't this causing you to get a bad reputation for no reason?" asked Raquel.

Lenora lowered her gaze and smiled. "The media and netizens have already uncovered my identity long ago. They know that I'm the Fuller family's adopted daughter and that Zachary is my brother. Yet, they

still insist on stirring things up. It's pointless to clarify things with them. The best way to handle this situation is to lay low and let the fuss die down. Once its over, we can delete all related comments and everything will be fine."

If there's really nothing between her and Zachary, then that would indeed be the best way to handle it.

Raquel nodded. "That's true. Mr. Fuller is so busy that Im sure he hardly has the time or energy to worry about what netizens think."

When Jonas had been the subject of baseless rumors in the past, he had also handled it by keeping a low profile and making no comment, letting the issue blow over with time. Raquel was well aware of that. Here, Jonas interrupted their conversation. "By the way, Mom, didn't you get two rosaries previously?"

"Oh, that's right. Suddenly recalling it, Raquel took out a rosary from a drawer and placed it in Lenora's hand. "Jonas mentioned that you've been having a bit of bad luck recently, so I specifically asked for an extra rosary for you when I went to church to pray. The priest said that you must keep this rosary on you for it to work."

Lenora had merely made a casual remark previously, but little did she know that Jonas had taken it to heart.

She accepted the rosary, smiling as she said, "Thank you, Mrs. Zirk. I really appreciate it."

"Don't worry about it. You don't have to be so formal with me, you know," came Raquel's response.

Lenora and Jonas chatted with Raquel, talking and laughing.

The sky gradually turned dark, and Lenora found herself having dinner at the Zink residence once again,

After the meal, she chatted with them on the couch for a short while before getting up to bid farewell to Raquel and Bernard Zirk, Jonas' father.

Then, Jonas drove her home.

Gazing at the street outside the car window, she said to him, "Take me to Mercy Hospital, please."

"Okay. Aren't you going home? Why are you heading to the hospital?" he asked, changing their route as he spoke.

"Grandpa isn't feeling well and was admitted to the hospital. I promised him yesterday that I'd visit him at the hospital today."

"All right," he responded.

He drove up to Mercy Hospital and came to a halt in front of the inpatient building.

Lenora thanked him, then opened the car door and got out.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

She had only taken a couple of steps when Jonas caught up to her from behind. He cleared his throat and said, "Why don't I go up with you? Your grandfather is not feeling well, and since I'm already here at the building, it wouldn't make sense for me not to pay him a visit."

What he said made sense and was clearly well-intentioned, so there was no way she could refuse

She glanced at him. "In that case, put on your mask so that no one recognizes you."

Overjoyed, he quickly nodded, put on his mask, and followed her upstairs.

Upon reaching the ward's entrance, she knocked and walked in.

Gerald was semi-reclined on the hospital bed while Allison was feeding him.

"Grandpa, Grandma," she greeted.

Lenora walked in, and only then did she notice that there was someone else seated on the couch on the other side. The person was leaning against the back of the couch, legs crossed. It was none other than Zachary. Their eyes met, and her expression was icy as she immediately looked away.

Meanwhile, Jonas was oblivious to the pair's strained relationship and inclined his head at Zachary.

"Nora, you're here. Have you had dinner? When Allison saw Jonas standing behind Lenora, she asked. "And who might this be?"

"This is my friend, Jonas. He drove me here." No sooner had Lenora uttered those words than she felt a chill run down her spine. A burning gaze was fixed on her, and there was no need for guessing to know
