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 tFernando was branded as a rapist, his words naturally lost credibility. He would even be suspected of
trying to frSusanna 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 sthings as minor schemes from Susanna.
It was only now that he truly recognized the venomous heart hidden beneath her facade.
This wasn't just sminor 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 chan For the first tdoing 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

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 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 twith 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 tSusanna 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.

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!

Unexpectedly. Mallory becpregnant. 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.

Zachary was consumed by a mixture of anger and self-reproach. His chest rose and fell rapidly, his emotions zoo
