Actually, Susanna’s initial plan was to falsely accuse Fernando of assaulting her during the interview.
Given that she was seen as the victim and the disadvantaged party, most people were inclined to believe her. By the time Fernando was branded as a rapist, his words naturally lost credibility. He would even be suspected of trying to frame Susanna with false accusations.
Fuming with anger, Zachary slammed his fist into the wall. Grinding his teeth, he demanded, “Why did she change her mind at the last minute?”
Once, he felt guilty about the kidnapping incident and clung to a shred of affection for Susanna, always hesitant to think poorly of her.
Later on, he just considered some th ings as minor schemes from Susanna.
It was only now that he truly recognized the venomous heart hidden beneath her facade.
This wasn’t just some minor schemes–it was ruthless and inhumane!
Johanne remarked, “Someone must have reminded her.”
After that reminder, Susanna changed her plan.
As a somewhat renowned journalist, Fernando had a fair share of connections in his field. He even had a few acquaintances in the police department who were on good terms with him. Simply framing him might not necessarily lead to any repercussions, there was a chance he might turn the tables instead.
For the first time doing something like this
The plan had succeeded.
The kidnapper had fled abroad.
Susanna reassured herself that she was unstoppable.
Fernando died in a car accident, and no one linked the accident to the kidnapping case.
Everything was just perfect.
Had Lenora not stumbled upon that photograph, the truth behind these two incidents would have forever- remained a mystery.
The staged kidnapping act was something Susanna did impulsively. Johanne only found out about it afterward.
Susanna aimed to use her tragic experiences to shake off Zachary’s suspicions. It was indeed a smart move, Consequently, Johanne sent those who posed as kidnappers out of the country, even funding Richie and the others for their carefree life abroad.
However, it was due to the money that Johanne discovered an inconsistency in the amount. He found an extra person, Daryl, who had caused the accident. So, he decided to question Susanna about it.
Susanna laid everything out on the table.

Only then did Johanne realize, Susanna had caused someone’s death to erase any trace of her staged scheme.
At that moment, Johanne’s heart was a whirlwind of emotions, predominantly fear. He was terrified of Susanna’s character–he had assumed that she was merely ambitious, but he hadn’t expected her to be so ruthless and unscrupulous!
During that period, he was particularly anxious about the police uncovering the truth, and Susanna betraying him. His fear wasn’t about going to jail, but rather the prospect of seeing the disappointment in Gerald’s eyes. Gerald had always wished for harmony between the brothers.
As the matter gradually faded into obscurity. Johanne also slowly let his guard down.
It wasn’t until he attended Fernando’s funeral with Gerald
Under the onslaught of complex emotions, he proposed to Gerald to adopt Lenora.
Following this incident, not only did Johanne and Susanna’s relationship fail to strengthen, but it also grew increasingly distant
The indifference and cruelty of Susanna was something Johanne couldn’t accept. To put it more bluntly, he was traumatized by Susanna.
And then, he encountered Mallory.
Mallory was gentle and kind–hearted, a stark contrast to Susanna. Upon their first meeting. Johanne fell head over heels for her.
From Johanne’s words. Zachary inferred something. “So. Susanna’s decision to go abroad, was it related to you?”
Johanne nodded gently. “Do you remember that Mallory had a miscarriage before Ryan was born?”
Zachary was taken aback. “Susanna was behind it?”
“Yes,”
At the time, Susanna had not yet graduated. Due to her kidnapping incident, Zachary spent more time with her, comforting and guiding her. As a result, Susanna didn’t have many opportunities to meet with Johanne.
Given Johanne’s deliberate distancing and concealment by the time Susanna found out, it was already the eve of Johanne’s wedding with Mallory.
Susanna had done so much to get close to Johanne. She would never settle if someone else were to reap the fruits of her labor.
She had sought out Johanne in private on numerous occasions. However, finding that Johanne remained unmoved, she began to threaten him.
If Johanne wasn’t going to be with her, she threatened to call the police, confessing that everything was orchestrated by Johanne, ensuring they would both go down together.
The bank statement served as proof.

The two were now inextricably entwined, Susanna held leverage over Johanne ber demence was no longer as meek as it once was
Johanne was worned that Susanna might actually call the police to be had no choice but to soften h attitude and appease Susanna. Yet, he was still reluctant to part ways with Malory
At that time, he was faced with two choices. The first was to devise a plan to countera Susana or to take a risk betting on the chance that Susanna wouldn’t dare to call the police. The second was to break up Mallory and be with Susanna
However, back then, he was indecisive and chose the most foolish method.
Susanna discovered that he hadn’t divorced Mallory and gradually lost her patience, choosing to take action against Mallory.
The intention was for Johanne to make a choice–with her around, he and Mallory would never!
peace
Unexpectedly. Mallory became pregnant. Although her injuries were not severe, she lost the child
The loss of her child had a profound impact on Mallory Zachary had visited her in the hospital curing that period. At that time, Mallory was incredibly worn out and depressed.
He could have never imagined that Mallory’s miscarriage was actually caused by Susanna
Faced with his wife, her face streaked with tears. Johanne finally realized that he had to end things with Susanna once and for all
Susanna wouldn’t call the police.
Alerting the authorities would be like burning bridges Considering the reality of the situation and Johanne’s status, it might not cause him significant harm, but it would definitely backfire and even implicate the Carston family in offending the Fuller Group. This would make it even harder for her to turn the situation around.
Compared to being imprisoned with Johanne, Susanna would undoubtedly choose to step away.
After realizing this, Johanne effortlessly took control of the Carston family’s project, forcing Susanna to
leave.
As expected, Susanna didn’t dare to cause a scene. With a mix of anger and resentment, she left for a foreign land.
Johanne could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Coincidentally, it was at this very moment that the young Zachary assumed his position as the CEO of Fuller Group
Susanna was filled with regret. She shouldn’t have been entangled with Johanne, instead, she should have held on tightly to Zachary
But it was already too late. Johanne wouldn’t believe that she had let go, he wouldn’t allow her to stay in the
country.

Her only option was to leave the country and patiently wait for the right opportunity
Before she left, she tearfully told Zachary that she loved him deeply, but the dude’s fav worty of hie
These words had deeply pierced Zachary’s heart, intensifying his guilt. As a result, be kept him updated with Susanna’s news, visiting her annually
Now, upon learning the truth, Zachary felt a nauseating disgust, as if he had swallowed a y
When he thought back to his tolerance of Susanna in the past few years, and his neglect of Lenors, he couldn’t help but wish he could slap himself
Why hadn’t he been able to see Susanna’s true colors?
He even went so far as to hurt his wife and child for the sake of a murderer.
Zachary was consumed by a mixture of anger and self–reproach. His chest rose and fell rapidly, his emotions zoo overwhelming to quell. A palpable tension hung heavily around him, casting mood.
What was he doing when Lenora lost her father?
fle was keeping Susanna company at the hospital!
He was accompanying and consoling the very perpetrator who caused the death of Lenora’s father
Back then, she was only sixteen. The only family she had passed away, leaving her to rely on the mercy of others. He couldn’t imagine how devastated and helpless she must have felt during that time
Living under the same roof, he clearly had numerous opportunities to care for her, to cherish her, yet he didn’t.
In the face of her suffering, he tiptoed around it, choosing to turn a blind eye. His tone when greeting her was laced with indifference, never once did he engage in a proper conversation with her.
He couldn’t even quite remember what she was like at sixteen…
Memories from that time were tragically scarce….
